Bar 100 media launch

2011-11-28T16:50:00.003+11:00

Last Thursday was the big Bar 100 media launch. The venue is a huge three storey heritage listed building located in The Rocks.
I arrived at the venue for hair and makeup mid afternoon with the fabulous Martin Bray. I had translucent baby blue glitter eyeshadow, bright coral lips, deep red nails and to keep with the sailor theme for the event, I had tattoo's painted over my arms with water based ink. I had a snake, a ship and a heart with the name Wilma on it for my late Grandma painted over my arms.
The stylists dressed me in a sailor girl blue and white striped singlet with black leggings, black corset, gold and silver swarovski bangles and black stilettos.
I was perched on a round two-tier stage in the centre of the room joined by four hot sailor boys as guests arrived, posing for photos for the photographers and media. Jessica Mauboy then took to the stage and performed two songs with her dancers all dressed as sailor girls, she was fantastic, sounded amazing live and was so lovely and friendly in person!
I then went backstage and changed into my black velvet swarovski encrusted catsuit, black stilettos, sequined feather headband and blue sparkly earrings to perform upstairs where the venues top floor had a burlesque theme. I performed my contortion show on a small circular stage completely surrounded by hundreds of guests!

Last week was the opening night of The Darling hotel at the newly refurbished The Star. It was an absolutely amazing event with a super VIP guest list!
I arrived at the hotel early in the afternoon for hair and makeup along with the other 40 or so performers. It was a little manic backstage with the hair and makeup teams trying to get through us all, but they did it and everyone looked fantastic. I had gold glitter eyes, bright yellow nail polish and was styled as a french maid of sorts in a purple feather dress with purple leggings, black high heels and french maid apron, headpiece and feather duster!
Guests to the event included Leonardo DiCaprio, Stevie Wonder who also performed a surprise one hour set on the night, Adrian Grenier, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Elle MacPherson, Jennifer Hawkins, Megan Gale, Sarah Murdoch and Russell Crowe to name but a few!!

I arrived mid afternoon at the Marriott hotel down at Circular Quay for hair and makeup where Martin Bray worked his magic creating blue leopard print eyes covered with sequins, diamantes and glitter lashes, then it was off to the venue for photos for the media and my performance!
I was styled by The Squared Division who put me in a fabulous and crazy blue leopard print hooded catsuit, with uber long blonde pigtails, sky high blue leopard print heels, an arm full of purple bangles and a hat made entirely of purple Nespresso capsules! I felt like Lady Gaga!!
Guests to the event included Erika Haynatz, Kylie Gillis, Larry Emdur, Jesinta Campbell, Camilla Freeman-Topper, Sally Obermeder, Annalise Braakensiek, Nacho Pop, Nikki Phillips and Airlie Walsh.

Roma: From Prison to Paradise

2011-08-01T00:46:00.001+10:00

Few people know that my Great Aunt is actually the amazing Roma Blair. The subject of the biography Roma: From Prison to Paradise. I began reading her book again the other day and thought I would share it with you all.
The biography tells the story of Roma's life from her years as a young model, becoming Australia's first proxy bride and being captured in a Japanese prisoner of war camp where she remained a prisoner in Java for three years in which time she gave birth with no doctors and was given stitches with a dirty needle, contracted dysentery and was so ill she would sometimes cough up worms. She finally emerged with spirits intact but was plagued by ill health and nightmares. Roma soon discovered yoga which she believes cured her and changed her life. She eventually was honoured with becoming Australia's first female swami and was known as the 'mother of yoga' in Australia.

Roma in the splits at her 80th birthday celebrations

Throughout her career Roma has published six books on yoga, made two videos, four records, established yoga clubs, filmed yoga exercise shows for Channel Nine, featured in magazine lift-outs and newspaper columns.
I'm sure many people see a slight similarity between Roma and I - both being models and being very flexible - but believe it or not, I have never done a yoga class in my life! Something I have decided to change and give it a go. Maybe I'll do a one on one yoga class with Roma when I visit her next. Yes she still practices yoga to this day!

Burlesque show for Keune event

2011-06-14T16:27:00.000+10:00

Last weekend I performed my burlesque inspired contortion show at the Keune event held in the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton hotel in Sydney. It was a super early morning start for me on a very cold and rainy Sunday. I arrived and went in to hair and makeup, workshopped the costumes backstage with the help of my amazing choreographer Ame Delves who helped me put the show together, had a quick rehearsal on stage, did the lighting checks and then it was show time!
I wore a custom made swarovski encrusted top, the Wheels and Dollbaby Oh La La knickers with fringe detail on the bottom and Peeptoe jewellry. My beautiful dancers Stacey and Priya wore a mix of Wheels and Dollbaby and Alannah Hill frilled and fringed knickers and bustiers.
Below is a little behind the scenes video and a sneak peek of the performance...stay tuned for the posting of the whole show which is coming soon!

Lores Giglio Fudge Hair Expo Show

2011-06-13T13:36:00.000+10:00

Yesterday was a huge day for me at Hair Expo. Three shows in one day! Early call times on a Sunday should be illegal. My last show for the day was the Lores Giglio for Fudge hair show at the Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre, which was part of the Generation Next Hair Expo show.
When I arrived it was all systems go! I had seven people working on me at once prepping my hair, doing makeup and doing my finger nails and toe nails!
My hair was first crimped, then had huge hair pieces attached to my head, then my real hair wrapped around it, sprayed black and then had blue, green and purple hair pieces pinned around sections.
I was styled in a fabulous Romance Was Born black and gold body suit and long skirt, lace leggings and sequin covered rainbow shoes.
The show was great and all the hair creations looked amazing!

Yes. That is my real hair. Crimped within an inch of it's life!

Finally! I've been hanging to get the new OPI Black Shatter nail polish from OPI's Katy Perry collection forever! Everytime I head to a store, they're sold out. Anyway, I was finally able to get my hands on some and I love! I painted it over the top of my gold coloured OPI Glitzerland nail polish and as it dries the black colour shatters. Very cool. I was rocking it at the Crystal Boudoir show last night!

Wild cat...meow!!

2011-02-15T17:12:00.001+11:00

This is certainly not a new obsession...but it's still a current obsession. I absolutely LOVE animal print, so why not have my nails painted in my fave...leopard print! I love it! We used OPI The "It" Colour on the base and then a mix of OPI You Don't Know Jacques! and OPI Black Onyx for the spots!

Dannii Minogue Style Queen Launch

2011-02-10T15:14:00.005+11:00

Last night Foxtel held a fabulous launch of Dannii Minogue's new reality TV documentary series Dannii Minogue: Style Queen at one of Sydney's top restaurants ARIA.
The reality series follows Dannii and her best friend/co-designer Tabitha Somerset Webb as they embark on their journey to design and create their own fashion line, Project D. We were given a sneak peek of the show and it looks great. I can't wait to watch it, especially after meeting Dannii and Tabitha who are so gorgeous, down to earth and hilariously funny! The S word and the F bomb were dropped within the first 30 seconds of them holding the microphone!!
I was dressed, along with three other models in an array of gorgeous Project D dresses, all very classic and comfortable to wear, and enjoyed the delicious food provided by celebrity chef Matt Moran which was seriously yummy!
Dannii Minogue: Style Queen airs on Fox8 on February 23rd.

Beyonce and Jay-Z private event

2011-01-24T18:56:00.002+11:00

Just over a month ago I was asked to perform at an exclusive private event for Beyonce and Jay-Z!! Handpicked to perform my contortion act by Beyonce herself!!!
It was a very intimate and private event so as to keep their privacy I am unable to divulge any details of the event but I will say that I spent a couple of hours with Beyonce in her hotel room and she is honestly such a beautiful and down to earth woman and is so incredibly stunning! Even more stunning in person if you can believe it!! Jay-Z was also very lovely!
Being huge fans of both of them I had to pinch myself a few times, I couldn't believe I was performing for them!

Dragon-i 8th anniversary party in Hong Kong

2010-11-29T20:07:00.003+11:00

A few days ago I flew to Hong Kong for the 8th anniversary party for Dragon-i nightclub! It was a really fun night and they went all out decorating the venue, it looked fantastic. Verne Troyer aka Mini Me and rapper Coolio were also flown in for the event.
I arrived late Friday night, my driver picked me up from the aiport and I went straight to the hotel, watched a movie and fell asleep. The next day Coolio, myself and the rest of the gang went out for a yummy lunch before we headed to the venue for a sight inspection and sound check. Afterwards Verne, myself and the rest of the guys headed to dinner at Isola restaurant, which had the most beautiful view of the water and the Hong Kong city lights. We ordered the biggest bottle of wine I have ever seen! It was the equivalent of three bottles!

After dinner we headed back to our hotel to have a rest and get ready for the event. We arrived just before midnight and I kicked off the entertainment with my contortion performance in a black and gold swarovski encrusted costume! Afterwards Verne Troyer greeted the audience with a brief introduction before he and Coolio sprayed the audience with bottles of Dom Perignon champagne. Coolio then performed three songs, including my favourite song of his, Gangsta's Paradise! Then it was time to party! We had so much fun and I have to say that Verne Troyer really is the sweetest guy ever! Later in the evening Verne and I were treated to a special magic trick by Asia's premier magician Lawrence Sullivan, who showed us some amazing card illusions and even smoked a Sharpie pen! Video of the magic trick posted below!

Coconut Water

2010-11-17T10:52:00.002+11:00

I am totally obsessed with coconut water! I have always loved coconuts but once I discovered the health benefits I was seriously hooked. Full of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes, coconut water is a great drink after exercise to rehydrate and it tastes delicious! Yum.

Mont Blanc Metamorphosis event Beijing

2010-11-10T17:15:00.195+11:00

Last week I flew out to Beijing, China for the huge and I mean huuuuge Mont Blanc event celebrating the launch of the Metamorphosis watch. Here's the breakdown of my day to day blog.

Day 1:
I arrived in Beijing after a long flight and almost no sleep. A huge group of us arrived one after another, performers brought in from all over the world and we were taken to our hotel on a big bus. I spent the evening chilling in the hotel room.

Day 2:
We had the morning off so it was time for some sightseeing. We headed to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City! It was amazing and bigger than you could ever imagine! The Forbidden City just kept going and going and going. We walked all the way through and then up the long stairs to the Jingshan Park where I dressed up as an Empress which was fun! The acrobat boys from PopEyed dressed up as Emperors and did some acrobatic moves for the cameras too!

In the afternoon we headed to the venue to check out the stage and have a quick rehearsal. The event was to be held at the 798 art district in Beijing inside a massive old water tank.

Day 3:
In the morning we headed to the markets and had a look around before we headed to the venue for a technical rehearsal and press call. We performed our show for the constant stream of press who came to photograph and film the performers before the big event the following evening.
That night a group of the Australian performers and I had a yummy dinner at a restaurant around the corner from the hotel and ended the night with some bowling! It was lots of fun and I even scored a few strikes!!

Day 4:
Today we went to the Great Wall of China! We were all so excited and it was so amazing! We caught the chair lift up the wall and the toboggan ride down the wall to try and preserve some energy in our legs before the show that night. The toboggan ride was soooo fun!! We went faster than we were probably allowed to but it was awesome. The Great Wall looks steep but it's way steeper than you think it is! I had jelly legs!! It truly was amazing to see.

The Mont Blanc Metamorphosis event was such an amazing event. As guests arrived they walked the red carpet then were ushered in to the Typhoon room where they were entertained by models body painted black with fluro patterns and fluro butterflies which lit up under the special black light, aerialists, pole performers and contemporary dancers dressed in hooded black and white unitards surrounded by mirrors. When the doors finally opened the guests including Nicolas Cage entered the main room where the walls inside the huge water tank were lined with 3D projected graphics which were absolutely incredible, a bar which ran around the entire edge of the wall and various performances by aerialists, acrobats, dancers, the Blue Man Group who were fantastic and myself performing contortion! There were thousands of people there and we partied long in to the night drinking Moet and cocktails!

Day 5:
Super early wake up this morning to catch my flights back to Sydney. It was a struggle but some good movies on the plane always make long flights feel much faster. I arrived home early Monday morning after a whole day and night of travel and crashed in to bed for the whole day! I was exhausted but my China experience was unbelievable!!

Beauty and the Geek

2010-11-01T15:55:00.002+11:00

Last Thursday night the episode I was in of reality show Beauty and the Geek was on! I was hired to pose as a hotel guest at a 5 star resort to trick the geeks in their cabana pool boy challenge! First up mathematics champion Michael had to do anything and everything I asked him to do! I had a script giving me an outline of what to do and say to the geeks but then I could improvise and see where it went. I had to ask Michael to massage my feet, paint my toe nails, brush my hair, smell my perfume and ask him for fashion advice regarding skirt length and the amount of cleavage I should show by which he thought the more the merrier!! Haha!
Once I was done with Michael, I moved on to the pool bar flare bartending challenge where I had astrophysicist Tim make me a cocktail. Tim was doing his attempt at flare bartending when I told him to keep trying to throw the cocktail shaker higher and higher! He threw it so high that it went over my head and smashed on the ground just behind me! I was shocked and Tim went bright red. It was pretty funny. Tim didn't get a very high score from me after that though! He did give it another shot but it didn't taste very good to me!
The geeks were really lovely boys and although it was a freezing cold day on set, it was a fun shoot!

Back to NZ!

Day 1:
It was that time of year again...time to head back to beautiful New Zealand for the summer fashion shows! This time the team and I headed to Christchurch. We've been there so many times now we know our way around the city so well! We landed at the airport, dropped our suitcases off at the hotel and headed straight to the venue for an afternoon of fittings and rehearsals.

Day 2:
We had the morning off so it was time for some retail therapy and some exploring around Christchurch! In the afternoon we headed to the venue for hair and makeup before the VIP night fashion show. I had a little 50's inspired floral swimsuit outfit complete with a white rubber swimming cap covered in flowers...I'm pretty sure I've seen photos of my grandmother in a similar outfit! Haha! After the show my roomies and I ordered room service and watched some movies.

Backstage with Christina Nouri

Day 3:
More shows today followed by DIY mani & pedi's in the hotel room and the yummiest dinner with the Aussie cast members of the show at a little Italian restaurant just a short walk from our hotel. I didn't catch the name of the restaurant but I'm sure we'll be heading back there next time!

Day 4:
Last day of shows today and we definitely did our best shows of the week! So much fun! After the last show we headed straight to the airport, our flight was delayed for a half hour but we were soon on our flight back to Sydney. We landed and I had to rush straight to the Con Pasion and Crystal Boudoir shows suitcases and all! I was so exhausted after two fashion shows, two contortion shows and an international flight I crashed in to bed the second I got home. zzzzzzzz
