Cosmos For A Cause
On a chilly Sydney evening last Thursday my guest and I, huddled in our anoraks, descended upon the Watershed at Darling Harbour.After a slight confusion of where exactly the event was, some very friendly staff and attractive male models (doubling a door bitches) pointed us in the right direction.
