BIG hair, catchy tunes, incredible performances, Eurotrash outfits and a very flamboyant crowd.
That was the scene at The Oxford Hotel’s Polo Lounge in Sydney last night where over 100 travel industry guests gathered to watch the screening of the final of the Eurovision Song Contest, courtesy of Lufthansa and Schwarzkopf.
25 countries were represented at this year’s gala event which took place in Germany’s Düsseldorf Arena.
From the heart of Europe direct to Oxford Street, the local crowd celebrated the exciting night of entertainment, which finally saw Ell/Nikki from Azerbaijan receive the highest number of points from televoters and juries to take out the 2011 Eurovision title.
Azerbaijan’s win means that next year’s event will be staged in the former Soviet central Asian republic.
