Taranaki Drag Queens Take On NZ
Two Taranaki drag performers will be embarking on a nationwide tour in August sharing their Rainbow Storytime word.
As part on a two week campaign called Out On The Shelves promoting LGBT+ books in libraries, Erika and CoCo Flash will be bring those books to life with live readings, games and songs.
Rainbow Storytime Taranaki originally started three years ago by request from South Taranaki Libraries and has grown in popularity as these over the top queens in sequins and organza wow children and adults alike spreading the word of being kind, acceptance, anti-bullying, self confidence and diversity.
From August 17-30 they will start from the South Island and work their way back up NZ in a campervan making their own Priscilla adventures.
They are currently fundraising to help with the expenses and to keep the costs low for the libraries and community groups having them come do the sessions.
There is a raffle running which you will find more information at facebook.com...
Or if you would simply like to donate, please go to:

Or find Erika & CoCo Flash on Facebook to follow their antics!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
