Sydney Morning Herald: May 27, 2008
While the perennial pop princess Kylie Minogue parties up a storm in Athens and Cologne, Sydney’s gay community are feverishly preparing their own celebrations for the icon’s 40th birthday tomorrow. From 9pm all three levels of the Stonewall Hotel on Oxford Street will transform into the Minogue Mansion, featuring Kylieoke, a Kylie lookalike competition hosted by the Sydney drag queen Courtney Act and The K-Hole, a floor dedicated to Kylie remixes.

Nikki Webster and other celebrity DJs will play their favourite songs and guests will have the opportunity to sign a birthday card that will be delivered to the former Neighbours starlet on tour in Europe.
Tim Duggan from SameSame.com.au, the gay and lesbian lifestyle website that is hosting the bash, said the party would test how much Kylie people could handle in one night.
“It’s three solid levels of Kylie goodness,” he said. “The gay community has heard a lot of her since she released Locomotion in 1987 but I’m pretty confident there’s no such thing as too much.”
After nearly a week of all-night European pre-birthday festivities, the impossible princess is expected to join her sister Dannii and parents Carol and Ron in a low-key celebration in Paris.
