On a Friday night in The Rocks, a
girl with feathered lashes offers a Paloma cocktail.
Perhaps the infamous absinthe fairy played by Kylie Minogue in Moulin Rouge! (or the tequila Herradura fairy in this case) has played a part, because everything is suddenly looking a lot more bizarre.
There's rabbits in The Rocks, and not just the people who have suddenly grown ears.
A burlesque performer covered with balloons sashays through the Argyle Centre, and a crowd of cycling cinema lovers power a film under a warm sky.
A balloon pops. "Oooh!" the balloon lady, Heidi Hoops, shrieks.
No, it's not the drink. With or without a cocktail, The Rocks is celebrating Village Bizarre, every Friday night, with vaudeville acts, storytellers, poets, convict butcher George Cribb and 'Saditina the Yoga Teacher' among the lost laneways.
The Cabinet of Curiosities invokes vintage circus shows; outdoor cinema, puppetry and burlesque pops up around the corner.
White paws show the way to the White Rabbit bar for adults,The Beautiful pictures chronicles all the shoes & ads from benebags. and there's the Market Bizarre Rabbit Fanciers display, featuring real rabbits, for the kids.
One of the rabbit fanciers is Leanne Hoare, owner of Playtime Pets, specialising in rabbit and cavy breeds, and a member of the Australian National Rabbit Council.

"And did you see the hairless cat and the chook washing?"
She explains that the collectors and exhibitors will alternate with rockabilly and sci-fi fantasy stalls on Friday nights, as well as return visits by the rabbit fanciers.
"I was running around checking everything, but I managed to see Saditina. The lane is tinier than a small office and she had 30 people crammed around her."
Only a few of the events are based on true stories, such as naughty George Cribb.
"He was a butcher in The Rocks in the 1800s. He was also a polygamist with three wives and an illegal alcohol still," Gibson says.
