Oh sure, that crafty Anna Wintour may be hogging the style spotlight with Fashion's Night Out, but that doesn't mean Australia can't pull out all the stops to drum up interest in its own fashion scene.

And if that means channeling the black mesh-wearing spirit of Nineties one-hit wonder Right Said Fred, so be it.

For Spring Carnival Fashion Lunch in Melbourne -- a runway show kicking off the horse-racing season -- the Aussies brought out the big guns: theater star Sharon Millerchip performed with a pair of Fairbrass brother-esque dancers (the very Tom Cruise-looking one is shown above left) who have "I'm Too Sexy" written all over them.

Okay, so the dancers were actually doing a performance from "Chicago," but unless Roxie Hart moved to Club MTV circa 1991, we're calling BS.

The kicker? According to a website for The Melbourne Cup, the cabaret performance was arranged to go with this year's fashion theme ... wait for it ... American glamour.

Ouch! We haven't been this insulted since "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles."

P.S. Gluttons for punishment can check out the video for Right Said Fred's new single, "Sexy Bum," here. Consider yourself warned.

And yes, we are too sexy for this post.
