Mardi Gras 2018 was brilliantly flamboyant, colourful, and celebrity-filled. There were sequins, jewels, headpieces, and Cher.
Most importantly, Cher. Oh, and did I mention CHER?!?
Cher.
We must start with Cher for reasons I do not need to articulate. Cher made three outfits changes, again, for reasons I do not need to articulate.
Outfit numero uno was photographed by many, including our very own Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Because… Cher.

It's a bit disappointing to see some of the floats becoming commercialised - featuring hetero celebrities who are not a part of the culture being celebrated. I can see why people like the Minogues, or Cher are featured - they are icons in the community. But the likes of radio station announcers and celebrity personal trainers? Seems like they're just selling a product and jumping on the (company sponsored) bandwagon.
