Launch of the 2008 theme for MCQP

Mother City Queer Project launches event for the 2008 gay party of the year in Cape Town


Mother City Queer Projects is a Queer Art Party Project, now in its 13th incarnation.

Each year it contains a number of different events, with the ‘world famous’ main event simply being the biggest gay themed costume party on Africa’s shores.

A new theme is chosen for the big MCQP night each year, and 2008 is no different.

The MCQP theme guides the creative team, artists, and partygoers, in their conceptualisation and creativity.

Prepare yourself for a theme in 2008 that will make your imagination dance, and if the themes of previous MCQP years are anything to go buy then this year is no exception.

In 2006 MCQP fans were able to live out there childhood dreams with the 'Super Hero' theme and last year in 2007 a blast from the past with the theme of 'Matric Dance.'

Each year the MCQP organisers start from scratch with a new theme, which means tons of time, energy and creativity is invested in making sure YOU have the best night out.

It's that time again when they finally announced MCQP's 2008 theme with all the glitz and glamour you've come to expect and this year will not be a disappointment!

Launch 2008 theme for MCQP took place on:

Date: 27 September 2008
Venue: Loft Lounge
Location: De Waterkant

The 2008 MCQP will once again take on an exciting theme that takes creativity to a whole new level with:

Lights, Camera, Action! Theme for MCQP 2008.

The producers of MCQP were thrilled recently to announce this year’s theme to a jam-packed crowd at The Loft Lounge.

The 2008 theme will highlight the golden years of Hollywood and guarantee to get everyone into their Oscar Award-winning best costume!

At this MCQP, the paparazzi will be clicking away, the champagne will be resting in the ice buckets and an array of hot men and ladies will be in attendance, so you will be assured of the most glitzy event this side of Hollywood… or Bollywood.

To enhance the Hollywood effect, you will be greeted by a mob of “star-struck” fans the minute you arrive, and to guarantee that your very own publicity shot is taken in true style, MCQP will provide flashing lights, writhing bodies and out-of-this-world décor.

But wait, there’s more…! Put your best foot forward and enter the event and you’ll be met by Hollywood-like sets, extras, actors, production staff and pulsating dance floors – truly the stuff of stars.
