Lingerie Football League All-Star Games Tour; Sydney, Australia

Tonight the American born Lingerie Football League enjoyed its virgin game on Australian soil.

All Phones Arena was blessed with the privilege of staging the first game in Australia.

What was on offer? - tits and ass of course, and a good spread of athletic talent. We really enjoyed the girls individual celebrations after they scored the all important touchdowns, made even more visually titillating with spray tan thanks to the all important sponsor - Mobile Spray Tanning.

If your into NRL you might be into this, and if your into pro wrestling aka sports entertainment, you will probably have a strong appreciation of this unusual, titillating and exciting sport that seems to be perfect for a good number of Australian alpha males.

Well done players and promoters for putting on a heck of a show. Looks like this special brand of footy has already developed more than just a grass roots fan base down under in Australia.

Promo...

The 2012 LFL All-Star Game will feature 32 of the most athletic and beautiful women across the league as the Western and Eastern Conference teams clash in front of projected capacity crowds in Sydney and Brisbane, two cities that the LFL has identified as being potential homes for two of the franchises in 2013. Expect these games to be as explosive, combative and competitive as all the LFL games are as each player strives to impress for selection into the teams in 2013.

LFL Football, described at the 'ultimate live sports experience', has developed one of its largest international fan bases in Australia having developed a cult-like following on Australian broadcaster Fuel TV since the league’s inception in 2009. As much success as the LFL has enjoyed in the US, internationally the appetite for LFL Football has been even greater being broadcast in nearly 43 countries and drawing near capacity crowds in previous international game play in Mexico and Canada. The appeal internationally has been strong enough for the LFL to announce the formation and kick-off of several international leagues to include LFL Canada (Fall 2012), LFL Australia (Summer 2013) and LFL Europa (2014).


Newsflash: Federal Minister for Sport Kate Lundy Is Not A Fan!...

Federal Minister for Sport Kate Lundy: "Stop the Lingerie Football League in Australia. Our daughters deserve more. The LFL is about giving viewers an opportunity to perve on women in gear that looks like it's come from an adult shop. It's called the Lingerie Football League because it's almost exclusively about the underwear."

Women of the match?

Chloe Butler and Liz Gorman seemed to get over pretty well with the Sydney fan base. Not bad looking for football players, and multi talented for certain.

Clover Moore reveals plans to have a MONOPOLY on Sydney

Sydneysiders will no longer need to “Pass Go” on the streets of London to collect $200 with the announcement today that Sydney city is to be immortalised with its very own official MONOPOLY board.

Not only can Sydneysiders look forward to playing the world’s best loved game on iconic Sydney streets and landmarks, they can also have a say as to what hot properties will make it onto the first ever Sydney MONOPOLY board. Before any dice are rolled the game’s makers will be consulting locals to ascertain which city landmarks should be selected to swap places with the famous London locales.

Sydney’s proudest resident, Lord Mayor Clover Moore became the first to “like” the Sydney MONOPOLY Facebook page when it went live today before giving her thoughts on what she’d like to see on the board.

The Lord Mayor said a global city like Sydney deserved to be immortalised in the world’s most famous game and said, “Sydneysiders are fiercely proud of our great city and its iconic places like the Sydney Opera House and Oxford Street.”

“I’d encourage everyone to have their say about which Sydney streets should replace those famous London names like Fleet Street and Pall Mall.”

“I think our beautiful high streets like King Street in Newtown, Glebe Point Road and Oxford Street should fill these squares. And of course, our plans to transform George Street will make it a globally recognisable landmark that deserves one of the top spots.”

It is not just places but people hoping to score a guernsey on the new MONOPOLY board and to this end, Gary Rohan from Sydney Swans was on hand to receive the good news that his team will be part of the game.  He said “In 2012, the Sydney Swans are celebrating 30 years in Sydney as an integral part of this city’s sporting landscape.  To be included on this iconic board game and Sydney’s first ever Sydney MONOPOLY is a great privilege for us.”

From today until June 24th MONOPOLY enthusiasts are invited to nominate Sydney properties via the Sydney MONOPOLY Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/sydneymonopoly or by emailing info@winningmoves.com.au.  The most popular two places will then be given the prestigious dark blue Mayfair and Park Lane positions on the original London MONOPOLY board. There will also be lots of other twists and changes too, including Sydney themed ‘Community Chest’ and ‘Chance’ playing cards.

Winning Moves, manufacturers of the official MONOPOLY Sydney version, under license from Hasbro, says the game will be on shop shelves in time for this Christmas.

Winning Moves Business Development Manager, Reid Herbert, says, “We are looking forward to receiving input from MONOPOLY fans far and wide so that we can ensure Sydney MONOPOLY is a real reflection of all that we love about Sydney.”  He added, “The spirit and shape of this customised edition will remain the same as with the traditional game but now you will be able to buy and own your favourite Sydney landmark for MONOPOLY money.”

MONOPOLY first hit shop shelves in 1935 – and since then has been played by more than 500M people. Today it is played in 111 countries and enjoyed in 43 different languages. The new MONOPOLY: Sydney Edition will be available in November from leading toy retailers across Australia.  MONOPOLY © 1935, 2012 Hasbro. All Rights Reserved.

TIM DRAXL SIGNS TO FANFARE RECORDS

Multi-faceted actor, performer, singer Tim Draxl, signs a recording deal with adult contemporary music label Fanfare Records.

Draxl’s new album “MY FUNNY VALENTINE” will be released to coincide with the Sydney Opera house performances of his one man show “FREEWAY - The Chet Baker Journey”.


Draxl, who recently was seen in the Australian comedy feature film A FEW BEST MEN alongside Olivia Newton-John and soon to be seen in a TV drama based on the life of Ronald Biggs, has long been a fan of the songs made famous by Chet Baker. In 2009 Producer/writer Bryce Hallett and Tim Draxl created the show FREEWAY based on the brilliant talent and extraordinary life of famous singer and musician Chet Baker.


Robert Rigby, Managing Director, Ambition Entertainment Pty Ltd said “We are very pleased to be signing Tim Draxl to our label for such a quality project. The line up of wonderful songs planned for the new album along with Tim’s impeccable vocal stlye will make this a very special album. Since making his first studio recording some years ago Tim has matured into a quality all round artist with a brilliant voice well suited to the wonderful material from the Chet Baker songbook. My Funny Valentine will appeal to discerning  music lovers who appreciate 1950’s cool classics.”


Tim Draxl - My Funny Valentine - songs from “Freeway” (the Chet Baker songbook) will be released on Fanfare Records through EMI in July, 2012. When FREEWAY - The Chet Baker Journey began life at the tiny yet legendary jazz club el Rocco in Kings Cross it attracted audiences from 18 to 80 and met with universal praise. Broadway star Lillias White fell in love with Tim Draxl’s restrained and seductive voice while the Australian theatre director Jim Sharman responded to the intimacy and haunting tone of Freeway. He said:
“The experience felt akin to seeing Chet Baker in one of those smoky, over-crowded joints he played in LA.”


A familiar comment after each performance has been, “who needs Michael Buble when you’ve got Tim Draxl”, a sentiment echoed at last year’s Adelaide Cabaret Festival where it played to sellout crowds. Many fans wanted to know when an album would be released. Finallly the time has come. Freeway co-writer and associate producer Bryce Hallett says he is delighted that Fanfare Records has chosen to sign Tim Draxl and champion one of Australia’s finest singing talents. The album, like the biographical show itself, will enable younger audiences to discover something of the spirit and sound of Chet Baker who came to be known as “the Prince of Cool” in the ‘50s.

“Tim Draxl has a natural affinity with the tender style and mystique of Chet Baker which is evident in his phrasing and his sensuous interpretations of classic songs such as My Funny Valentine and You Don’t Know What Love Is,” says Hallett. “Tim delves deep into the lyrics of each song and the effect is effortless and
spellbinding.

The sound is all the richer for the magic and skills of the musicianswho are part of the Freeway family: the gifted jazz veterans Ray Alldridge (piano) and Dave Ellis (double bass), the talented young trumpeter Eamon McNelis and the fine drummer Ben Hendry.”

When Kate Ceberano, an avowed Chet Baker fan, saw Freeway in Adelaide last year she was quickly seduced. “Tim is a great singer, a natural actor and a massive spunk to boot,” she said. “Add that to the sounds and songbook of the late, great Chet Baker and it’s a marriage made in jazz heaven.”

The Chet Baker cabaret piece FREEWAY, opens for a limited run at the Sydney Opera House July 20-22, and includes classics such as:

Freeway • My Funny Valentine • Let’s Get Lost • Look For The
Silver Lining • Travelin’ Light’• But Not For Me • You Don’t Know
What Love Is • There Is No Greater Love • That Old Feeling • These
Foolish Things • Everything Happens To Me • The Thrill Is Gone •
Born To Be Blue • There Will Never Be Another You.
