Cyndi Lauper enjoyed Dunedin’s Woof! bar so much, she made a repeat visit for a post-show party, to the delight of co-owner and lifelong Lauper fan, Josh Thomas.
Woof! shared photos of Lauper’s band and team enjoying the venue – even meeting the establishment’s dog, Rupert – in what Thomas told Stuff was “an incredible night.”
“They were all fizzing ‘cos she did a great set,” said Thomas, “having cocktails, laughing, having a great time. And I’m constantly pinching myself and going, ‘Is this really happening?’”
Thomas had brushed up on Lauper’s preferred cocktails of choice, having a range of non-alcoholic drinks for the pop icon ready at his bar.
She had an alcohol-free coconut water cocktail, with her team rocking out on fig and cognac negronis.
“She was totally relaxed,” Thomas gushed. “I couldn’t quite believe there she was sitting in my bar.”
Thomas and Lauper talked about Dunedin, as the singer expressed interests in the city’s roots as a working-class hub.
“She's a really sensitive but powerful woman as well,” said Thomas.
”I will just remember talking to her and looking at her and going she’s so beautiful – but she’s the Cyndi Lauper I’ve always known.”
Lauper is touring New Zealand with iconic rocker Rod Stewart, and performed at Forsyth Bar stadium on Wednesday night.
The 51-year-old told Stuff he had been an “original fan” of the Time After Time star since the 1980s.
Growing up as a young gay man in Auckland, Thomas said Lauper meant “a lot” to him throughout his life.
“She taught me valuable lessons about being true to yourself and that it’s OK to be different.”
And while they say you should never meet your heroes, Lauper was, “just the most down to earth, gentle, loving person you could ever meet”.
We hope you all have a fabulous Easter break ✨ You can hop in this Saturday to snap up any of these treasures.

A new five-star-plus Queenstown hotel building is for sale and the vendor will consider offers over $35 million.
Kevin Carlin built the seven-storey 14-suite Carlin Boutique Hotel and Oro restaurant near central Queenstown during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It opened in early 2022 and has since received several international awards including three Boutique Hotel Awards, such as the World's Best New Hotel in 2022.
Carlin operates the hotel and intends doing so for the next 30 years, but now wished to free up the capital involved in the building for other projects.
It was standard practice for hotels and other businesses to rent the buildings they operate from, he said.
”I was the rare person that’s a property developer and owned the building.
”I always intended to sell the real estate to get the cash back for another development,” he said.
He intended leasing the building back for 30 years and operating the hotel himself “if someone pays the price”.
“I’m not going anywhere. This is my retirement project.”
He declined to give details of other developments he sought capital for, though he is developing a five-star Radisson Hotel in Queenstown with Australia-based partner Centuria.
Despite a major staff shortage in Queenstown the Carlin Boutique Hotel was almost fully staffed with 38 employees on board.
Bookings were good going ahead, but he was looking forward to the return of European and wealthy Chinese travellers, he said.
Chinese visitors were struggling with visa issues in their own country while a lack of flights connecting Europe and New Zealand was deterring those visitors.
“I was there recently, and it took me four flights to get home to Queenstown,” he said.
Visitors to the hotel can book a room from $2219.50 a night, according to the website.
Each of the interconnected suites has views over central Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu, its own outdoor fire and spa pool, and a kitchen where private chefs can whip up a meal.
“We don’t expect our guests are ever going to buy eggs and cook,” Carlin told Stuff on a tour when it first opened.
The property is listed with Bayleys Real Estate and expressions of interest are sought.

When stop/go workers were replaced by traffic lights, time stood still.
Motorists travelling between Port Chalmers and Dunedin on State Highway 88 waited up to 90 minutes to clear one set of road works, near Forsyth Barr Stadium, on Tuesday.
One person missed a funeral while others missed appointments, leading to 12 complaints to Waka Kotahi.
Raewynne Pedofski said it took her just over an hour to travel less than 1km as she approached the stadium, which on Wednesday hosted thousands of fans for a Rod Stewart concert.
The delays were caused by stop/go workers being replaced with ‘‘automatic lights with a shorter time span’’, she said.
It led to significant traffic delays, and vehicles ‘‘clogging the intersections’’, she said.
Some motorists on the Port Chalmers Facebook page shared their feelings over the delays, including one who missed a funeral.
‘’Not acceptable,’’ she wrote.
‘’I turned around because I had a screaming baby, so frustrated there is no warning about this,’’ wrote another.
On Tuesday, the 9km stretch of SH88 had four listed road works on Waka Kotahi’s website.
While work on the $37m - $43 m shared pathway along SH88 had caused some delays since the project first started in 2020, the latest work near the Anzac Ave, Parry St roundabout, was unrelated.
Waka Kotahi senior network manager Chris Harris said road maintenance, not the shared path project, caused the congestion.
‘‘Waka Kotahi apologises to people held up (on Tuesday) and will aim to avoid long delays after Easter when this work resumes.’’
In recent weeks the site was effectively managed with manual stop/go traffic management, but on Tuesday morning the crew switched to traffic lights.
‘’These were not as responsive as we need them to be and this contributed to congestion and queueing in both directions.’’
A worksite between the roundabout and Ravensbourne was opened up to two lanes of traffic just after 1pm that day, which helped release the traffic build-up and ‘’resolved queueing fairly quickly once people could start moving through,’’ Harris said.
‘‘Most of the people we have spoken with have been understanding of the situation, and we appreciate the patience of everyone affected.’’
Harris said the agency responded quickly by reopening the road, but once work was under way, crews could not always pack up and get out of the way within minutes.
‘’We apologise for this impact upon road users. If we are expecting unavoidable delays, we normally aim to communicate these in advance so that people can plan ahead. In this case, we underestimated the effects of the change in the traffic management.’’
Jarrod Hodson of the West Harbour Community Board, said the ongoing roadworks spread over multiple sites were ‘‘unfortunately just something we have to deal with’’.
He hoped that steps ‘’would be taken to help prevent the same situation that become a major issue from happening again’’.
Meanwhile, the shared pathway was due to fully open in the middle of the year, and one person who regularly cycles the route is Cr Steve Walker.
He told Stuff he could leave his house in Port Chalmers and be at his desk at council, in central Dunedin, in under 30 minutes.
He was confident that when the cycleway opened that time would be reduced to under 25 minutes.
Walker said it wasn’t uncommon for him to see friends stuck in traffic, who would later message him with the word ‘‘bastard’’.

From reporter Debbie Jamieson:

That Wānaka Tree is world famous but the shark swimming around it may elevate it to new social media heights.
No-one knows where the shark, or to be precise the shark’s fin, came from and local social media posts have divided opinion in the small town.
Posting on Facebook on Monday, Joanne Young said April Fools was over and the stationary fin spoiled the lake's beauty.
“Can it be removed?” she asked.
But Jess B Clark called for the “weed tree” to be removed instead, while Kieran Kaiwai suggested someone jump in and tackle the shark.
Others suggested it would need Department of Conservation and Otago Regional Council involvement involving a lengthy report and an 80% rates rise.
Tony Vial suspected it might be the work of a random Sharks supporter, before adding his own “Go the Warriors”.
Todd Jeremy Owen said he had seen the fin in other spots, including Lake Hawea.
"That Taniwha is way older than that weedy willow,” he said.
Tracy Sarah Jones looked forward to seeing the next 20 million lonely tree shots accompanied by the great shark fin.
While Amanda Waldo had another ominous warning for regular lake users.
"If the duck itch doesn’t get you...” she wrote.
For now, the big questions are unanswered. Will the shark remain? And will it ruin the perfect shot of #thatwanakatree?
