"The private party, thrown by Stake.com co-founder Bijan Tehrani, was held at 29 St Georges Rd on Monday night with “every hot influencer in Melbourne” there, along with US rapper YG who put on a private show for guests.
Mia Fevola, Jordan De Goey, James Hachem, Tommy Bugg, Sam Guggenheimer, Jasmine Tavares, Hannah Dalsasso, and Shaun Wilson and Tess Shanahan"

The old ghost house in Toorak, the other half of Stake.com bought it didnt he?
Bugg the Thug more infamous for decking Callum Mills behind play, dont think we missed much when he retired early.
Halloween is just commercial American BS at its worst and I cant believe we give it anytime in mini america once known as Ozstralia. Just shows you how much American culture has wormed its way into our culture and not for the better Imho.
Influencers need to get a real job and stop using/rorting vulnerable, lonely and gullible online viewers looking for direction in their life...just Parasites.

As for Bugg the Grub, retired early? We sacked him for stealing our membership list details for use in his private business didn't we?

As much as I agree, I think the Halloween thing is here to stay.
Decorations were in the shops for weeks before the event.
There was a huge crowd for the Halloween street parade here in bayside Queensland.

Shops were giving away lollies by the bucket load.
...and that was on Saturday, two days before the 'trick or treaters' backed it up on the actual Halloween day.

Gold Coast nowadays aren’t you Lods…?
It’s a sad thing when the best of the Gold Coast is you and Wazza Capper… it’s a cesspit in my humble opinion, Halloween seems strangely fitting.
Let’s go BIG !

A bit further North NB. We live in the Cleveland area of Brisbane. It's on the Bay not far from Wynnum- Manly. It's a nice residential area....very different from the Gold Coast. We've moved up here to watch the grandkids grow.
The only problem is you cant go out during day light hours because of the heat..or maybe that's the vampire kicking in.

I think Principal LODS is right, this Yank commercial cr@p is here to stay. If it's commercially viable even profitable, it'll spread like an unwanted rash.
Nice part of the world, LODS. I have friends in Manly (Qld) and liked it when I visited last many moons ago... but I just couldn't live up there, too damn hot & humid. As for the Gold Coast, I think others have summed up that plastic joint rather nicely.

Its a bit of fun. You dress up, the kids get lollies, some houses around mine here in Greensborough go all out and decorate like its Christmas.
The alternative is fine, but whats life without whimsy?

Halloween is the Christianised takeover of the pagan Samhain festival and the pumpkin carving (originally turnips) and trick or treating have been going on for hundreds if not thousands of years. Yes, it’s commercialised but what isn’t these days.
The only problem I have is that it’s the wrong time of the year to celebrate Samhain in the Southern Hemisphere. We should be celebrating Beltane on 1 Nov and Samhain on 1 May.
As Thry says, it’s a bit of family fun and where’s the harm in that.
And, getting back to Townsend’s post, does anyone know someone who was influenced by an “influencer”?
