ONSTAGE, it was the story of Britain's greatest musical queen – and on the red carpet, it was Sydney's own divas who starred.
Last night's opening of Dusty had showbiz glamour veteran Rhonda Burchmore in her element, outshining her younger challengers.
Putting on her best Paris Hilton poses and proudly announcing the Cerrone piece around her neck, she positively glowed.
A little more vertically challenged, Imogen Bailey wasn't far behind in the glamour stakes and Sophie Falkiner sparkled with mother Aleida – even if veteran actor Frankie J Holden needed to be told who the former Wheel of Fortune letter-spinner was.
Making a blonde treble Sami Lukis had – as Dusty Springfield herself once sang – "the look of love" for her lucky partner.

Hands off the Korean Buns!
The Peta Hands off the Buns campaign has made it to Korea!
http://theseoultimes.com/ST/?url=/ST/db/read.php?idx=3117
Australian supermodel Imogen Bailey has laid claim to the title of Australia's sexiest model and graced magazine covers from Down Under to continental Europe and the U.K. Now, supermodel and actress Imogen Bailey has posed au naturel for a brand-new ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Asia-Pacific, which aims to draw attention to the cruelty to animals inherent in the fur industry. Shown kneeling down and strategically covered only by the bunny she's holding, the ad—which is in English and Korean—carries the tagline "Hands Off the Buns! … No Fur."
"I'll gladly bare my skin if it will help save animals' skins," says Imogen, who was featured on the Australian version of the TV show Celebrity Big Brother and has appeared on stage in The Vagina Monologues. "Buying anything with fur—even if it's "just a little trim"—supports one of the most gruesome industries on the planet."
Korea is one of the world's leading fur consumers. Animals trapped in the wild for their fur often suffer for days before they are stomped or bludgeoned to death. Animals on fur farms are confined to tiny, filthy cages before they are poisoned, gassed, or electrocuted or have their necks broken. PETA has obtained undercover video footage showing how fur farmers in China—now the world's leading fur producer—swing foxes and raccoon dogs by their hind legs and smash their heads on the ground, breaking the animals' necks but leaving them panting, blinking, and conscious as they are skinned alive.
This isn't the first time that Imogen has helped PETA help animals. She posed for an ad calling for a tourist boycott of Thailand until the Thai government acts to protect elephants, and she lent her voice to PETA Europe's campaign against the use of real bear fur in the hats worn by the British queen's guards. For her outstanding efforts to fight animal abuse, Imogen was presented with PETA's 25th Anniversary International Humanitarian Award in 2005.
