Your Ball,
Your Way!
The Sunshine Coast Queer Ball is, essentially, a big party! Expect high energy music and entertainment.
It’s an opportunity to dress up in Queer Formal style, but we have foregone all formalities! Think a wedding reception, but with no boring speeches. A School Formal, but all of your classmates are LGBTQIA+, and someone locked all of the teachers out!
If we are going to all that effort to dress up, we are going to want PHOTOS! There will be a Magic Mirror photobooth for us to take glamorous (or ridiculous!) photos on the night. New fancy technology means we can have the images sent directly to our mobile phones for instant sharing! The photobooth is accessible to all, it has no walls and the angle of the lens can be adjusted.
Dress Code
Celebrate Queer Style!
The recommended dress code for the Sunshine Coast Queer Ball is “Queer Formal”. So what does that mean?
Queer Formal is open to individual interpretation. Ask yourself, if you were invited to a formal event, what would you WANT to wear? What would you NOT want to wear? Maybe you love wearing dresses but hate wearing heels. So wear your Docs or sneakers! Maybe you want to wear a suit, but match it with stilettos.
Maybe you have a drag personality that doesn’t see the light of day enough. Maybe you love fun events but feel most comfortable in your tracksuit. There are literally NO RULES. Variety, individual expression and freedom are some of the things that make our community so amazing!
Please do not get too hung up on what to wear. Have fun with it!
