Oxford Street News

This wondrous lady above is the delectable Maxine Maurine Shield who holds sway at the famous Oxford Street gay nightclub the Midnight Shift. Maxi has just been announced as the Entertainer of The Year at the Diva (drag) Awards and quite right too. Maxi will also serve as Hostess at Madonna's tour next year as the Ultimate Door Bitch (but she's really very nice)
Below is X Factor judge Dannii Minogue who took a turn last Sunday at Justin Hemmes'  Beresford Hotel as Bingo Caller at Tranny Bingo. They raise funds for charity. No matter how much they try to kill of Sydney's nightlife with the restrictive Lockout Laws they can't keep a good woman down. Or a man. Or a tranny for that matter.

Maxine's Magnificent Gig

She's a welcoming sight to Darlinghurst visitors : drag star Maxi Shield patrols Sydney's Oxford Street like she's owns it. And why not. On freezing winter nights like those we are currently experiencing Maxi warms the cockles of any heart as she happily chats to passersby at the Colombian Hotel on the Golden Mile adding a touch of glamour to the strip, now losing much of it's glitter under new licensing laws that are crucifying inner-city nightlife.
Now Maxi will be the grand hostess at Madonna's 2016 Rebel Heart Tour of Australia where she will host after-parties in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and hopefully it could lead to a whole new career along the lines of Perez Hilton who does similar around the USA. # Maxi swears that bosom is real.

What A Drag !

The Shuttle rarely visits the Golden Mile of Oxford Street Darlinghurst but on rare occasions we call into the infamous/famous Midnight Shift.
We thought it was time to bring some updated snaps of the Hostess With The Mostess, Maxi Shield host of the Shift's cocktail bar and MC extraordinaire.

In fact the last time we visited the Shift is was with actor Rupert Everett who took a shine to the place and a few of the locals. So much so that when he turned up the following day for a lunch in his honour in a restaurant just off Taylor's Square he posed for a snap with  local chef Peter Everett who was to dine with him and then booted him off the table so his new Shift friends could join him.

Below is a video of Maxi Shield at work:
