The X Factor Australia

Last night I was very lucky to be asked to perform on The X Factor Australia alongside the lovely Jiordan Tolli in a circus themed rendition of No Doubt's hit song Don't Speak. 
I arrived around midday and headed straight in to hair and makeup with my wonderful friends makeup wiz Martin Bray and the fabulous Lores Giglio on hair. Martin created a Dior inspired clown look for my makeup complete with tiny swarovski crystals and black glitter eyes. My hair was crimped and sprayed black and accessorised with a large disc shaped hair piece decorated with glitter and a large crystal in the centre. 
After hair and makeup I headed out to the set for a quick rehearsal and camera test before the big live show that evening. I performed contortion on a small yellow and white podium at the front of the stage whilst various characters roamed around the stage behind me. Some dressed as fabulous sequinned clowns, ring masters and hula hoopists. The show was once again choreographed by the wonderful Squared Division.
