“A Sunny Day in Paradise” was the title of the party held by Agent Costume, in a secret Warehouse in Botany, at Agent Costume Headquarters.
The brief: Prepare for the afterlife of the shipwrecked!
The two basketball court sized, open plan warehouse space was lined along the sides with heavy black velvet curtains, while colourful projections for and aft the life size Viking ship docked at the foot of Island paradise, splayed across screens and dancers boogying groovily on well laid dancefloor to the tropical island lush beats of Pirate and Viking DJs, supported staunchly on the deck of the intricate well hand crafted ship.
Tables and shipwreck paraphernalia was supplied by Sydney Props.
The party kicked off with dress up sessions upstairs, face painting with Global Colours face paint range, and continued through the night with varied acts. Magicians to burlesque dancers, breakdancing, comedy, singing and more all supplied by the incomparable John Samaha, actor, comedian, producer and birth date twin to Elisa Marigold.
There were many pirates and vikings and island beauties treading the freshly laid dance floor, and eating icecream cones, fit for a sunny day.
The goal was to get many creative people together and to promote the costuming services of Agent Costume.
It was also a double birthday.
I hope you enjoy some of these photos taken on the night, as you can see, it was a mixed and varied bunch! If you have any more to share, please let us know! Send them through to elisa@agentcostume.com
