Zeta Bar Hilton Hotel presents Ms America Bodypaint

The Hilton marquee Hilton reads: "Zeta`s "CONEY ISLAND" is our exciting new Friday Nights concept. Experience evenings of the unexpected, perfectly paradoxical and the weird and wonderful, with extravagant entertainment and a creative mix of classic cocktails with progressive and fun elements."

The Hilton Hotel franchise and our friends at the Zeta Bar were deadly serious and they were back to the Coney Island theme again tonight, with an 'Ms America Bodypaint Girl' (Anastasia) for the evening's entertainment.

The action was all mixed with a specially concocted range of classic cocktails with a twist, like Cosmopolitan Candy Floss, Toffee Apple Martinis and Long Island Iced Tea snow cones and much, much more, with with the 'Ms America Bodypaint' adding addition excitement.

The team at Human Statue Bodyart created the 'Ms America Girl', led by creative artist Eva Rinaldi, and assisted again by bodyart and bodypaint veteran, Vince Cantali, who also shares a fetish for dressing models up and painting on human bodies.

The Coney Island theme was once again a huge hit and Human Statue talent will be continuing to entertain patrons at the Zeta on most Friday nights for at least another month.

Very well done to everyone involved in the success of the Coney Island promotion and we're certain the titillating entertainment will keep patrons coming back for more.

It's all there for the taking at Hilton's little slice of paradise in Sydney's CBD and its you're big chance to see why 'Coney Island' is so popular the world over.

Promo...

Zeta Bar pushed the boundaries of cabaret, bringing the sexy mystique of 19th century underground back to life in Extreme Cabaret.

Extreme Cabaret was a delicious smorgasbord of fantasy and magic, wit and whimsy served with sides of lunacy and luxe, and very well lubricated with prohibition-style cocktails, mystifying molecular cocktails and delectable morsels.

PETA 'Fur Is Dead' coffin stunt aimed at Armani, Bondi Junction, Sydney

Today animal activist group, PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) conducted their most recent publicity stunt - 'Fur Is Dead', targeted at Armani, complete with 3 coffins and "dead bodies" at Bondi Junction.

The group claims to use such stunts to help create awareness for their cause, which otherwise may fall on relatively dead ears.

Models were seen preparing with coffins, bodypaint and other props at Spring Street, Bondi Junction, and then walked to the busy mall, lay down in their coffins, where news media and members of the public made a beeline for a closer look.

A woman who appeared to be the organiser was seen handing our pamphlets and notified media she was open to making a statement to the video reports.

It's understood that media such as SBS, Channel 7 and Channel 9 will be reporting on the stunt in tonight's evening news.

To fur or not to fur? You been the judge, jury and executioner. Rest in peace.
