Great Australian Ball XIII-The Aussie Horror Picture Show

The actual reason we made the trek to Shanghai was to attend The Great Australian Ball, put on by the Australian Chamber of Commerce.  Being that a majority of our friends from Shanghai are Australian, they were the ones to extend the invite to us.  

This years theme, The Aussie Horror Picture Show.  The decorations, details, food, drinks, music and costumes were outstanding.  Costumes were optional, but I'd say about 80% of the guests were dressed up.  Everything from guys in drag, in true Rocky Horror style to Halloween style costumes.  Our group chose the safe route and dressed black tie but still looked great, if I do say so myself.

The Aussies are a great group and definitely know how to party.  We were all a little slow moving on 
Sunday morning.  I wish I'd taken more pictures, but because of the dim lighting most of what I did take didn't turn out.  The details in the decorations and some of the costumes were amazing.  We hope we can make it again next year...and we'll be prepared to dress up for sure!
