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.

Beauty and the Geek

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!

The Morning Show fashion segment

It was a nice and early wake up call for me this morning as I was headed in to Channel 7 studios to film a fashion segment for The Morning Show hosted by Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies. I was showing racewear on a budget!

The Morning Show

Today I headed in to channel 7 studios in Martin Place to film fashion segment Beat the Stylist for The Morning Show with Kylie and Larry. It was a fun and easy segment and Kylie and Larry were very nice and friendly. I also bumped in to Mel, Kochie, Nat, Lynne McGranger aka Irene from Home and Away and Spandau Ballet (which would have made my Dad a bit jealous) in the corridors who were all also very lovely.
