Be Cointreauversial with Dita Von Teese

Last night was the amazing Be Cointreauversial show with Dita Von Teese! It was such a great event held at the Australian Technology Park. The walls were lined with hundreds of bottles of Cointreau, chandeliers hung from the ceiling, orange carpet for guest arrivals, light up stage and staircase, red curtains drapped around the room, elbarorately decorated dancers with painted faces wandering about and beautiful models hanging from the ceiling in black gowns with glitter faces and hair taking polaroids of themselves and throwing them to the VIP guests below.
I performed my contortion show around the room and on the stage, stopping occassionally to take photos with guests. For my performance I wore a black velvet catsuit covered in swarovski crystals, vintage flower ring, black and silver sky high heels, a black bob wig, orange eyeshadow with glitter lashes and swarovski crystal covered lips! The crystal lips made it difficult to smile and talk but looked great with the crystal catsuit.

Dita took to the stage to perform her Cointreauversial routine with her big martini glass. She is absolutely stunning in person and had the most incredible costume! I have never seen so many diamontes in my life!

Prestige 10th Anniversary Ball Singapore

On Friday I flew to Singapore to perform at the Prestige Magazine 10th Anniversary Ball held at the Ritz Carlton Millenia.
I arrived at my hotel and was treated like a princess! My room had fresh strawberries with cream and dipping chocolate, cakes and sweets, fruits and gifts of perfumes all for me! I was so excited, those strawberries were amazing, and don't even get me started on how amazing my room was!
The Ball was held in the hotels Grand Ballroom and among the guests were Ministers and Ambassadors from around the world and the who's who of the Singapore social set!
I performed a contemporary contortion routine choreographed by my dear friend Ame Delves and wore a simple white costume with long flowing white skirt and mauve flowers in my hair to fit in with the Mythical and Enchanted theme of the evening. The stage backdrop was adorned with twigs and flowers and I used a big gold box for my performance.
My beautiful friend Belinda Chapple who is currently based in Singapore joined me for the show and a catch up in my hotel room afterwards! I spent the evening with some room service and movies before crashing in bed only to get up 3 hours later to catch my flight home! Needless to say I'm pretty tired right now, but had a fantastic time in Singapore and thank you to Prestige Magazine for a wonderful event!

The Queensland Fireball

Yesterday I flew to Brisbane to perform at the annual Queensland Fireball. This year the black tie event was held in a huge big top erected in King George Square in the centre of the city. I performed my contortion act in an Opera Cirque show called Lo Spettacolo which told the story of two lovers, myself and hand balance performer Mali De Goey who are torn apart then find each other and fall in love again at the end. The show also featured dancers and opera singers. I'm not one to usually perform at circus themed events so this was the first time I've ever performed inside a big top!

Backstage...

Reality Show

I was on set filming an episode of another reality TV show today, I can't say which one yet due to confidentiality agreements but it was lots of fun. It was a loooong day of filming and to say it was freezing is an understatement! Sometimes I hate shooting outdoors. Brrrrr. Stay tuned to find out which show it is!

Off to Brisbane...

Off to Brisbane this morning for a performance at the Commonwealth Bank event held at Cloudland nightclub. The shows theme is 'Red hot' so I'll be rocking my Chanel dragon red nail polish, swarovski crystal catsuit and feather head piece!

Judging talent competitions!

A few days ago I was a judge at the STAR Talent Competition held at Menai market place alongside my good friend Melissa Ambrosini. Together we judged various groups of kiddies ranging from around six years old up to 17 year olds and were blown away with how talented they were! It was actually a lot of fun being a judge for the day and I'm looking forward to doing it again!

Take a look at this behind the scenes video about the making of the Stone Parade Paranoia music video featuring me!

Princess Yasmin Launch

Just landed back in Sydney after my performance at the Princess Yasmin launch at Jupiters Casino on the Gold Coast in Queensland. I flew in yesterday morning and checked in to my hotel room at the casino hotel and was straight in to hair and makeup.
The launch was held up in the penthouse and I performed on top of a white piano surrounded by high end designer goodies before the guests who included Gold Coast socialites and the casino's high rollers.
After my performance I spent the evening in my hotel room watching movies and ordering room service!
I was up bright and early this morning to catch my flight back home as I have to get ready for my Sydney shows tonight!

Paranoia video clip

A few weeks ago I joined the band Stone Parade to shoot the video for their latest track Paranoia directed by Nick Kacevski.
Shot in a warehouse in Arncliffe one very cold Sunday, we were submerged in a small, old bathtub in a black gooey liquid which I can only describe as feeling like you're lying in very runny jelly. The black goo curdled when mixed with warm water so we had to lie in a bath of cold water in winter for hours! It was so cold I was shaking!! At the end of the clip you see Billy the drummer with steam coming off his body, that's how cold it was, we could actually see steam coming off our bodies, but thank goodness there were some heaters and a hot shower on hand to warm up with between scenes. The worst part about the black goo was that it got all in your eyes and ears and didn't feel very good. I even accidentally swallowed some in one shot, weirdly though it literally tasted like nothing. No taste at all. I got some nice bruises and cuts on my knees and ankles from rolling around on the concrete too.

IAB Awards

Here comes the bride...

Just finished up at the Doltone House bridal fashion show tonight down at the wharf in Pyrmont Point. This is a photo of my finale gown...black! Does anyone really wear black on their wedding day?!? Perhaps for the more outrageous bride but was fun to wear for the night nonetheless!

Backstage at Crystal Boudoir

Hello yellow!

My new nail colour obsession has been getting lots of complements lately. Yellow. This one is OPI The "It" Color. I was rocking it at the Crystal Boudoir show last night!

Another year older, another year wiser...

It was a low key birthday for me this year but it was wonderful all the same. I kicked it off with brunch down at Bronte beach with my best friends. It was a perfect winters day with a perfect group of my favourite people! I wore my American Apparel leggings, Sportsgirl dress, Country Road leather jacket, Louis Vuitton handbag, Sportsgirl beret, Basque ankle boots, sunglasses from markets in New Zealand and Peeptoe rings.

I was spoilt rotten, received lots of amazing gifts, spent the afternoon watching movies with my Mum and also received a beautiful bunch of pink roses which just topped off my day! ♥
