It’s Mardi Gras Eve, and you know what that means: it’s time for the final episode of Junkee Gras. We’ve been bringing you a gloriously queer Facebook Live show every day this week in the lead-up to the big event, and now it’s time to say goodbye.

Don’t worry, though — we’re planning on going out with a bang. Today’s show features a pretty star-studded guest list including Courtney Act, The Veronicas, and Bianca Del Rio, and they’re all ready to take your questions (leave them on this Facebook post if you want in).

Our lovely host Kyran Wheatley will also be hanging out with Melbourne artist and Instagram star @chiliphilly, who’ll be showing off some of his amazing hand-made costumes in case you need any last-minute Mardi Gras inspo. I mean, check this out:

HELLO! So every time I post something I’m like ‘I haven’t posted in agesssssss.’ But it’s because I’m still discovering making outfits! So I figured I should try to complete something in the next week and I’m the meantime, post all the outfits I haven’t posted yet! This old m8 I made last year for the Sydney Mardi Gras parade and wore it heaps of things since! Anyway, hopefully I commit to this and you’ll see something new soon!

We’ll also be spending time with viral video star Mark Kanemura, who got his start as one of Lady Gaga’s backup dancers. And in case you still need more to get you into the Mardi Gras spirit, we’ll also be bringing in one of the lovely bartenders from the Beresford to teach us how to make their signature Mardi Gras cocktail.

Junkee Gras will go live on Facebook at 4.30pm today. If you’ve got questions for any of the guests, though, better get in quick — you can leave them on the Facebook post any time today. You can also catch up on all of this week’s episodes here.

Thanks for sharing Junkee Gras with us, and Happy Mardi Gras from all the queers at Junkee.
