In 1973, Cherry Vinyl escaped her small gaping hole in Coober Pedy and hitchhiked her way to the bright lights of the shantytown now known as Surfers Paradise.

From shy gold panty metre maid to headline act at Broadbeach’s most exclusive gentlemen's club ‘Legs, Legs, Legs, Lips, Lips, Lips!’.

One stormy tropical Wednesday night, a tall allusive figure in a velour tracksuit and dark glasses walked into the club. He walked up to Cherry’s feathery perch and whispered his Winfield Red into her ear, “hush your sweet lips tweedy bird... you’re coming with me...”

Comedic genius Ruby Teys performs her original Australiana tropicana sh*tstorm. An ode to the Gold Coast's most treasured showgirls, plastic surgeons and the sugar daddies that kept them both in business!
