KYLIE MINOGUE staged her first concert since beating breast cancer yesterday and it was as if she had never been away.
The singer delighted her fans in a series of astonishing lycra zentai and gyrated energetically with scantilyclad male dancers as she performed her hits.
A sell-out crowd of 10,000 cheered as she took to the stage in Sydney for the first night of her Showgirl Homecoming tour.
It was hard to believe that it was only 18 months ago that she was diagnosed with the disease. Since then she has had a lump removed and endured chemotherapy that made her hair fall out and left her already tiny frame looking gaunt.
Now she is well again and she proved it in style, showing off eight outrageous outfits from designers including Dolce & Gabbana,costume spiderman, Pucci and Karl Lagerfeld.
Kylie, 38, kicked off the concert in a showgirl costume by John Galliano, with a pink plumed headdress and jewelled bodice with huge train made from ostrich feathers imported from Paris.
Another outfit featured a black PVC minidress with laced knee-high boots and giant cockatoo’s plumed headdress.
The Australian star also appeared in a head-to-toe leopard print catsuit complete with animal ears on her head.
A further costume change found her in a sequined miniskirt and a top streaming golden ribbons, with a punk-like peroxide wig over the blonde hair that has grown back since the chemotherapy.
Later in the show she wore a Pucci silver spiderman costume with matching silver headdress and a multicoloured swirled cape.
She also appeared in two full-length golden gowns and a sequined jacket teamed with a pair of printed culottes that bore a picture of Dame Edna Everage.
Kylie had to cancel her Showgirl tour when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May last year but promised fans she would return once she was better.
Speaking before yesterday’s show, she said: ‘Just to be here and have the opportunity to do it,spider costume, I feel quite proud of that.
I’m thrilled to be back. I’ve been looking forward to it for such a long time.’ Her performance yesterday was the first of 20 concerts in Australia before a series of dates in Britain in January.

EVERYONE’S talking about tightening their belt these days. It’s certainly tricky. I have just tried on a corset upside-down. But then, I am a burlesque beginner.
So, let me explain. The recent trend for burlesque clubs has gradually filtered down into the mainstream. These days, it’s becoming a theme for parties. Duly an invite arrived in my inbox to an "Alternative Winter Ball". It required "burlesque-inspired attire".
Apart from Dita von Teese, you could say my role models for this world were limited. It seemed to involve wearing old-fashioned scarlet lipstick and having even more old-fashioned bosoms. The first I could buy. The second I could also buy, but that would be a major decision. A corset seemed preferable to implants.
The big 36DD question was: where would one get a corset? I looked online. The cheapest appeared to be GBP 145.
Next day, I happened to walk past a moody nightclubbing emporium on my way to somewhere else. My inner corset detector – a new impulse – was activated by their window display. I reversed. Corsets started at GBP 130.
In Glasgow’s Princes Square, I noticed a more ladylike boudoir. I went in, and discovered their made-to-measure corsets were GBP 445. Stays were already making me feel faint, and I hadn’t put any on yet.
Slinking back to the clubbers’ boutique, I asked the least terrifying assistant about cheaper options. "There’s your Latex dress, obviously,Spiderman Costumes," she said. Obviously. "Any in the sale?" "Yes, they’re down to GBP 105." "Er, anything else?" After a moment, she said loudly "catsuits ". We stood beside a rail and contemplated a PVC catsuit. It was a moment that couldn’t be left unfilled, so I offered that it looked as if it might be quite warm. But certainly good value for GBP 54.99.
She waited outside the changing room, where I learned one should never try on a catsuit with ankle socks. The right leg went on, but it wouldn’t come off. I feared I might have to wear half a spiderman costume for the rest of my life. Finally, with a yank,zentai suit, it peeled away. On safety grounds, it was back to corsets. But I needed a credit-crunch corset. I was told of a stall in Camden Market, north London, and went there when working down south.
It was at that corset stall where the upside-down trying-on incident happened. But when the assistant indicated the right way up, the corset fitted. And it only cost GBP 40, turning this into a parable for our recessionary times. We can all tighten our belts, if we try long and hard enough. It also created my first ever cleavage. All in all, a day to feel proud. Stick out your chest, my mother would say. Finally I could.
When do we get iPick’n'mix?
APPLE is set to start making televisions. "Product transition" they call it. Beware of too much product transition, I say – and no, that’s not another Apple innovation, though the iSay could be a device for optimum communication, the rate they’re going.
Apple move into markets where they "can solve a problem for consumers". On that basis, an iTelevision is a good idea. Apple might end male dominance of the remote, by making pink ones. Or needy remotes that lie: "You haven’t touched me in weeks." Both would reduce men’s fondness for that device. They could also make remotes that aren’t held together by Sellotape within the month, thereby offering tape-less connectivity.
But Apple should beware of turning into an outlet that sells everything. Otherwise, we may be standing outside closed-down Apple stores, bemoaning their loss. One thing they don’t want to make is a mistake, by turning into iWoolworths.
I don’t know anything about football, but even I could have told you Phil Scolari wouldn’t be a success at Chelsea. He was never going to score – not with that moustache.
His sacking has increased my knowledge of the game, though. Hitherto, I thought Scolari was what an Italian striker called the school run.
His compensation has led to much mulling on failures, bonuses and football’s similarity to the world of finance.
Which makes me wonder: if football teams looked like going under, would the Government bail them out? Or would they just accuse them of taking a dive?

To pull off this look, however, be sure to choose a sweater or jacket
that has some width at the bottom. A sweater that ends in a ribbed cuff
that hugs the thighs will call attention to the very area that a big
sweater is supposed to camouflage.
For the truly daring, the trendiest garment of the season is the
catsuit,Spiderman Costumes, a full-length, one-piece unitard that covers the body from feet
to neck. It fits like a second skin and is designed to be the foundation
for a layered look.
While it seems like a simple way to dress (in the morning, simply put
on a spiderman costume and top it with a skirt and jacket, or perhaps a big sweater)
,zentai suit, the catsuit has its problems.
For one thing, it can be very hot, especially when it’s worn with
several layers on top. It can be claustrophobic. And getting the right fit
can be a challenge, even with the wonders of stretch fabric.
But those are minor flaws compared to the difficulty of getting out of
a catsuit quickly when the need arises. In fact, when Mirabella magazine
asked its editors to try out a variety of catsuits , "the bathroom problem"
was their No. 1 complaint. No one knows if it can be solved, but designers
have vowed to try.
Fortunately, it’s easy to approximate the look of a catsuit by wearing
tights and turtlenecks that match. In his fall collection, Isaac Mizrahi
showed lots of colorful separates layered over the foundation of white
turtlenecks and white ribbed tights.

"This is your chance to wear one of those Liz Hurley numbers," says an envious friend. Forget it! Safety pins won’t be up George Clooney’s street; besides, I don’t have those sort of breasts.
 A real fashion dilemma kicks in. I decide that I have really got to go for it, you know, get in to the caped crusader spirit of things. So, the question is should I do a Poisoned Ivy or a Batgirl look?
 I head to Soho for inspiration. First stop is Slinky’s in Walkers Court, next door to the Raymond Revue Bar, in the heart of rubber-land. "Do you have anything Batgirl-ish?&quot,zentai suit; I ask a large lady behind the counter (pink mohican, lots of leather and pierced eyelids), who shows me her range of PVC. I decide to try on a pounds 75 zentai .
 The catsuit goes on easily enough. . . Hold on, I didn’t realise there was a zip down there, too. Looks fabulous though; very Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman.  There’s something to be said for shiny PVC – it positively lights up the complexion. Unfortunately, I encounter a rather large problem in that I can’t actually move in it, let alone sit down for the duration of a film. I shuffle out of the changing room in the inflexible catsuit and ask to try on some rubber instead.
 A svelte black rubber dress (pounds 85 – these "fabrics" don’t come cheap) makes embarrassing squelching and slapping noises as I drag it over my body.  What a fit! Forget Lycra,Spiderman Costumes, there’s nothing like rubber to hold and lift. What’s more, I am very surprised that said dress has all the elements of this season’s trends; plunge neckline, back split (albeit far higher than was shown on the catwalk) and cut just below the knee. But will George Clooney get these subtle fashion nuances? I think not. Trouble is, I am totally stuck in an elephant-miming position with the dress caught under my arms, which are thrown in front of my body like a trunk. I daren’t ask for help from the big lady with pierced eyelids or the next-door changing room, which is giving off bizarre noises (it sounds like outfits are being tried on that involve chains). Eventually, I wriggle out of the rubber and the buying of very expensive Gotham-esque items.

HERE’S an outfit that’s anything but Glamorous.
With her darkened hair, Black Eyed Pea Fergie, 34, stepped out in LA wearing this daring satin spider costume .
Big Girls Don’t Cry – but this costume nearly brought tears to our eyes..
WITH her mother out of the country, Elizabeth Jagger had all the time in the world to root through her wardrobe for something to wear to the Rolling Stones’ after show party.
And, judging by the outfit she chose, she was in there long enough to dig to the very back. That’s where, one assumes, Jerry Hall had hidden this dazzling canary-yellow catsuit.
Elizabeth, 22, a model, paraded the beaded and sequinned suit at Ronnie Wood’s West London home on Sunday.
She and her sister Georgia May, 14, were representing the Jagger clan for the night,Spiderman Costumes, as their father Sir Mick was tucked up in bed in his suite at Claridges.
The 63-year-old, still recovering from a recent bout of laryngitis, had gone straight home after the Stones’ two-hour performance at Twickenham rugby ground.
But his daughters two of Sir Mick’s four children with Miss Hall seemed happy to stand in his stead, and lingered until well after 3am before being chauffeured to their nearby home.
They spent the evening with the likes of Wood and his children Leah,zentai suit, Tyrone and Jamie, and guests including Keith Richards’s daughter Theodora, the actor Owen Wilson and footballer Michael Owen.
Richards, who Sir Mick had earlier introduced to the audience as the band’s ‘chief head-banger’ after his recent fall from a coconut tree in Fiji, threw a separate bash at London’s Landmark Hotel, and did not arrive at Wood’s until after 2am.
Miss Hall was holidaying abroad with friends, recovering from falling badly and spraining her leg as she tried to pull off a complicated dance move at a party on the eve of her 50th birthday.
