      Friday 8 February
      7:30pm – 9:00pm 'You're not leaving the house dressed like that!'

      We all remember and wince at hair styles we wore with pride, or a pair of shoes that kept us awake at nights. Yet style was how we messaged our difference, our protest, our personality. Various authors and LGBTQI personalities show and tell the styles that marked them out as outrageous, fabulous or dissident.

      Featuring transgender legend Georgina Beyer, activist and parent Sandi Hall, trans haka superstar Mika, wry comic
      artist and dead-serious activist Sam Orchard, budding genius Ruby Porter, excitingly explicit playwright Victor Rodger and flight-to-the-heavens poet Chris Tse.

      Chaired by the man who made Auckland hum, Jeremy Hansen.
