DIVA 2008
With DIVA 2008 only 2 months away, the planning is ramping up to full throttle. The shows and special guest performer are locked in and, with a stage design that will totally transform the Paddington Town Hall into a glamorous den of iniquity, DIVA 2008 will be a night not to be missed.
Wanna know more? To find out the theme, to see which girl (or girls) will grace this year's poster and to know in whose capable hands you will be placed, you will need to attend the DIVA launch on Monday, 21 July at Stonewall Hotel.
