NYC Pride festivities culminated with Pride Island, a live
music festival on Pier 97 that also serves as a fundraising initiative for
local nonprofits and community organizations.
This year the event was headlined by none other than pop goddess Kylie
Minogue. Not even a sudden downpour
could dampen the party spirit. As
expected, she brought her infectious pop magic to the event and had fans
dancing non-stop, from her opening number, Golden, to the final song, All the
Lovers. One of my favourite moments was
when she performed a cover of 9 to 5. In
honour of her Pride Island performance (and her latest album, Golden), here are
25 of Kylie’s most Golden moments, in no particular order.
- Getting married to Jason Donovan on Neighbours, wearing a quintessential 80s wedding dress
- Frolicking in a bubble bath in the I Should Be So Lucky video
- The spiral perm cascading out of a hat on the cover of her first album
- Swinging her hips in the little red dress with the ruffles (spiral perm still prominent) in The Locomotion video
- When she told us to confide in her in the name of understanding and the need for problems to be shared
- Her collaboration with Nick Cave on Where The Wild Roses Grow and the haunting accompanying video
- Dressed as a Geisha for the delightfully bizarre German Bold Italic

- Descending onto stage on a giant red skull on the X World Tour
