Look at her! Twenty years ago today. The Grand Finale of Australian Idol season 1. An unforgettable night at the Sydney Opera House forecourt. Look at that Courtney Quiff™️ Her natural hairline pulled back into what is, believe it or not, a wig! I felt an overwhelming sense of love and acceptance from the Australian public, the judges, and Dicko – I still do. Idol really was the dawn of my journey. Auditioning as Shane and being sent home could have been the end, but it was just the beginning. I bent the rules and my gender and returned the next day in drag and made it through. Such a sliding doors moment when I decided to audition again as Courtney. I was so scared of what being publicly queer would mean for the rest of my life and career. Worried I would ruin my chances as a ‘straight male performer’ lol. How foolish I was! I was the first out queer person on any Idol franchise anywhere in the world. A world before social media, before the comments section, before the mainstream visibility (and recent politicisation) of our queer love and identity. I can’t imagine my life as anything other than the unbridled, celebratory and authentic expression of masculinity and femininity it is today. What a joy the last twenty years have been, I hope for twenty more. Shout out to @michaeljboyd my handsome dance partner. @djkittyglitter who loaned me her @grantmargetts dress and @adrianlewisjewellery who loaned me those gorgeous diamonds dangling from my ears. #australianidol

You can’t explain @themaskedsingerau, you just have to let go, watch it, and enjoy. How can you not chuckle at an anthropomorphic cow begging her owner to milk her yelling “WHAT ABOUT ME!?!?” And that explosion of milk at the crescendo!!! Which number should I post next? Wannabe by Spice Girls Flowers by Miley Am I Not Pretty Enough by Casey Chambers Here You Come Again by Dolly Just Dance by Lady Gaga We Are Young by Fun #themaskedsingerau #cowgirl #themaskedsinger

That’s gonna be a black eye… Nearly landed on my face and snapped @joshuakeefedancer’s neck all at the same time 😂 (I’m being dramatic for clickbait purposes, I always feel safe in Josh’s arms). So much fun at @gaygameshk2023, more videos and memories in my story. Thank you @bradwharakura for the video and @alexa.fadayz for the Mulligrubs edit #fail
Remember when CowGirl came Runner Up in the Miss Udderly Gorgeous Pageant? Did you see who won @themaskedsingerau last night? Congrats to SnowFox, Grin Reaper and Bouncer! #themaskedsinger #themaskedsingerau #cowgirl
