KYLIE Minogue kicked off her world tour at Glasgow's SECC stadium on Saturday night, with French actor boyfriend Olivier Martinez looking on - silencing the latest rumours of a split.
The Showgirl tour ups Minogue's trademark camp factor to 11; indeed it is a seriously gay old time that makes Cher's recent flashy Australian performances look like a Metallica concert.
The former Neighbours star opened the two-hour show with her pop anthem Better the Devil You Know, balancing a Marge Simpson-style feather crown on her head while squeezed into a sequinned corset with huge tailfeather.
And if that isn't camp enough, the concert includes a segment which pays homage to New York's notorious gay bath house era - near-naked male dancers shower on stage while Minogue (in a black lingerie-style body suit) straddles gym equipment to sing her hit, Red Blooded Woman.
The gay-o-meter keeps firing with a surprise inclusion of her Pet Shop Boys collaboration In Denial (about a gay man's coming out) and her own uber-camp Your Disco Needs You, plus a cover of Judy Garland's signature song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, performed while balanced on a moon in a ball gown.
Minogue stays on her lunar prop long enough to turn her dance hit Come Into My World into a stark ballad.
"This is my way to say thank you to my audience and share some of the most important moments of my journey so far," Minogue said.
While not as innovative as 2002's Fever tour, Showgirl's clear highlights come in a segment that blends her 1988 hit Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi with her dramatic classic Confide in Me, complete with dancers in ball gowns and glitter-covered gimp masks.
