Darryn Lyons with Andrew Law and Ben McCleay

We are joined by two of the joint mayors of our sister city, Boonta Vista, to talk about Mr. Paparazzi himself: Geelong's Darryn Lyons. The story of one brave man who installed a carapace on himself, collected the most beautiful art of naked women known to man, and was finally chased out of the country by a dingo to live as a tax exile in Italy. We salute you, Darryn!

He makes Dan Quinn look weak

I wonder if this man is the small domino for Joanne Kennedy Rowling being THAT WAY

I Ate At Darryn Lyons' Pizza Restaurant, Ask Me Anything (tl;dr it was unremarkable. Not good, but not so bad as to be memorable. Geelong is a nice city, it deserves better.)

As someone who grew up in Melbourne it’s nice to get some Victorian deep cuts, when I was younger I remember Darryn appearing on The Today Show semi regularly to do his shtick

Dean Sartorel

Combover Fauxhawk was Benedict Cumberbatch's roommate in boarding school when they were both 8 years old.

So I live in Melbourne, but grew up in the country and used to spend a lot of time in Geelong. One of my old friends that I met at Uni was Lyon's nephew, and would tell me about having to spend time at his regular extravagant champagne pool parties he would throw while he was mayor, that my friend hated going to but would put up with because Darryn would always give him a very expensive vintage guitar or something if he came to hang out. Also a couple of months ago I was in Geelong for a family member's wedding, and was staying in an air bnb with my partner and their mum, and the house next door to the building we were staying in was Lyon's mayoral home, you can see the giant crystal chandelier on the front porch from the street. There's also a plaque on the footpath in front of the house that reads: "LYONSVIEW - Home of Darryn Lyons, 95th Mayor of the City of Greater Geelong, 2013-2016 World renowned photographer, celebrity snapper Mr Paparazzi and founder of media conglomerate BIG Pictures. [...] From humble beginnings, he created an empire that set a benchmark for the global media in celebrity culture. Lyons will be remembered as a passionate visionary, photographer, businessman, author, philanthropist and politician. But his greatest passion is Geelong, which he promotes relentlessness on the international stage. "Expect the unexpected, believe in the unbelievable, achieve the unachievable" - Darryn Lyons"

where do you even get those bronzes, is there some factory somewhere churning them out?

Darryn Lyons is truly the Rob Ford of Eric Adamses of Australia.

Art is to Women as Truth is to Beauty

Also I pretty much only new Darryn Lyons from the one episode of top gear he was on

Erin Taylor

Looked up the photo of him and his wife: perfect couples costume for Halloween.

mayoral candidates should have to fill out one of those 80-question personality inventories that they make you take when you apply for a retail clerk job === also sorry to keep latching onto intro banter, but I feel Nova’s comment about being made to wear a uniform designed by a pedophile βœ‹ Twelve years of catholic school and grown-ass adults twisting their necks to get an extra eyeful of that sweet plaid kilt πŸ‘Ή

I went to a catholic state school and it still had head boys and head girls
