the goblin ball
Reasons to go include: the ability to swan about in a big costume, geek out over '80s fantasy films and dance, magic, dance with goblin men in very tight pants.
Clearly the number one reason to go to The Goblin Ball – inspired by the movie Labyrinth – is the ability to use "You remind me of the babe" as a pick-up line. To which your crush will hopefully respond: "What babe? The babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo, who do, you do. Do what? Remind me of the babe!" This will demonstrate their knowledge of David Bowie lyrics and the elasticity of their tongue – both top traits in a potential love match. The other reasons to go are: the ability to swan about in a big costume, geek out over '80s fantasy films and dance, magic, dance with goblin men in very tight pants. It all takes place at Melbourne's Northcote Town Hall on June 14 and if you're feeling a touch eldritch, you can find tickets here.
