It's said that banana's thrive all year round, but as autumn approaches and the lights turn up, Australia will keep its summer glow as the inaugural Banana Ball comes to town. Starring Nymphia Wind, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16, mark your calendars now for an unforgettable celebration of PURE banana artistry, authenticity and sheer talent of the sort rarely seen.
Nymphia Wind, whose name is inspired by the beloved Pokémon Sylveon, embodies beauty and whimsicality. The “Wind” in her name reflects her aspiration for freedom and her desire to be "invisible like the wind," showcasing the grace and power of individuality. Nymphia has captured the hearts of drag fans worldwide with her astounding performances, sharp fashion sense, vibrant costumes and her ability to grow and evolve, capturing our hearts like few before her.
In keeping with her Drag Race debut, tonight’s your chance to deck yourself out in Nymphia’s signature yellow, embracing the joyful spirit of the Banana Ball and adding a splash of sunshine as winter approaches.
The highlight of our Banana Ball will feature a dazzling live performance by Nymphia plus a bevy of local Queens and DJs to keep you and your crew Poppin all night, plus best dressed and runway competitions.
