Every year the Sydney Gay & lesbian Mardi Gras parade transforms the streets of sydney into a colourful and noisy spectacle, celebrating the pride, diversity and creativity of gay men and lesbians.

Absolutely Mardi Gras focuses on the extraordinary costumes made for Mardi Gras and showcases some of the most prominent designers. And it goes behind the scenes of the Mardi Gras Workshop where so many wonderful props and floats have been created. It also explains how Mardi Gras has grown from a radical political march to become world famous.

Full of gorgeous colour photographs, Absolutely Mardi Gras covers 20 years of the parade - from fraught to fabulous!
