DIVA Awards Winners 2009
- Published in Latest
The 2009 DIVA Awards were held last night at the iconic "Burbon" hotel in Sydney's Kings Cross. With a massive turnout and some of the liveliest outfits in years from some of Australia's leading drag identities, the awards has been hailed as a rebirth post a dramatic change of ownership and management this past year. The awards were partially voted for by the public, with other categories voted for by peers and panels. For the first time in the DIVA history, the belle of the ball award was also voted for by event attendees via SMS.
