Club Tamborine is bringing back its Halloween Party and Melbourne Cup Luncheon, encouraging locals to dress up. Events coordinator Helen McAteer says adults often enjoy Halloween and welcome the chance to join in. Prizes will be awarded for best-dressed, including staff's choice and people's choice, and a costume parade is planned at both events. The Halloween Party runs on October 30 from 5.30pm to 8pm, followed by live music from local band Lock Stock & Blues until 11pm. The Melbourne Cup Luncheon is on November 3 from 11.30am, with tickets at $90 per person.
Katy Bampton, 32, says a babysitting job introduced her to swingers' parties, which led to a marriage to a porn star and years of travel to sex parties. She later decided to stop having sex altogether and spent over a year at a retreat in Thailand. Katy now runs an online workshop for women on sexuality and a coaching program for couples on intimacy. She says she does not regret her earlier years and would like a monogamous relationship and children one day.
