New Zealand
Day 1:
Early flight this morning. So not right to be at the airport at 5am. Only had three hours sleep last night, maybe I should start drinking coffee to try and wake myself up...
Arrived in Auckland and went straight to the venue for a fitting and rehearsal, which took forever so we finished really late and we were all so exhausted.
When we finally got back to the hotel, I had a cup of green tea, a hot shower and then crashed into bed.
Day 2:
Had a reasonable sleep in which was very much needed before we arrived at the venue for hair and makeup in the afternoon.
The Auckland show was great. An audience of 1600 people! Had lots of fun doing that show!
After the show we had a bite to eat at a great little Turkish restaurant...olives, dips and pistachio nuts. So yummy.
Then we jumped straight on the tour bus and were on our way to Hamilton.
Day 3:
Arrived at the venue in Hamilton today and it had the smallest stage, runway and dressing room. It was hard to fit us all on stage sometimes but made for some pretty funny scenarios.
In the afternoon I had a manicure and hit the hotel gym, before we all went to see a movie at a cinema up the street.
Day 4:
We had shows all day and night. Luckily the venue in Hamilton is right near our hotel, so we had time to run back and have a nap before the shows that evening.
Ordered room service and watched the movie Twilight in the hotel room. I loved it and also loving Robert Pattinson. Wowsers.
Day 5:
Only one show today in the afternoon, so got to have a big sleep in. That night we all went out to dinner to a restaurant called The Bank to farewell the younger members of the cast who were flying back to Australia the next day.
Day 6:
We had a couple of shows in the morning, before we rushed back to the hotel to gather our suitcases, then we boarded the tour bus again and drove back to Auckland where we flew out to Christchurch that night.
Day 7:
Day off! We have a hire car at our disposal so we went to Governors Bay, down at the jetty, which was really nice, then we went to Takahe castle for lunch. Takahe castle was built in 1919 and is supposed to be haunted...I didn't think it was very scary, until I went down to the bathrooms. It was very creepy! But I'm easily scared so who knows!
Day 8:
Day off...again! A few of us got up nice and early and drove to beautiful Akaroa to go swimming with wild Hectors dolphins! It was an amazing experience! We weren't allowed to touch the dolphins because they are wild, but they came up so close to us. It was so exciting I didn't even notice it was freezing cold! On the way back on the boat we saw penguins and baby seals! Amazing day.
Day 9:
Arrived at the venue in Christchurch for fittings and rehearsals. It was so cold today, the warmest day we've had in Christchurch was about 12 degrees but most days it's at a high of 10 degrees.
Spent the evening watching movies in the hotel room and then had a relaxing candle lit bath before bed. Heaven.
Day 10:
First day of shows for Christchurch. There are less people than normal in the show so we have really fast outfit changes, but only one dresser backstage to help us all, so sometimes it's madness trying to get on stage in time, but it's lot's of fun working with the crazy cast!
Day 11:
More shows, followed by an excellent dinner at Portofino's restaurant.
Day 12:
After the days shows, we wandered around the city and did a spot of shopping before we headed back to the hotel to pack our suitcases. We ordered room service and watched scary movies in the hotel room until we scared ourselves silly! You would think that being an actress and having just recently filmed a blood filled film myself I wouldn't get sacred...but I do!
Day 13:
Last day of shows today. As soon as we walked off stage from the last show we were all in mad a rush to get to the airport to catch our flight back to Australia. We were cutting it fine, but luckily we made it in time and after a great flight we were home!

SYTYCD
Tonight I went to the filming of So You Think You Can Dance Australia in support of my beautiful friend Ame Delves who was choreographing a routine for the show! The atmosphere in the studio was great, filled with kids cheering and screaming and Ame's routine received fantastic reviews from the judges (of course)!
Bumped into a few other friends there also. The Project Moda boys Simon Lind and Shannon Holtzapffel who were also choreographing a routine for the show, the beautiful Sarah Jane Coombe and the lovely Renee Bargh. Fun night!

Kylie Minogue Concert
Last night I performed at the VIP pre show for the Kylie Minogue concert at Acer Arena in Sydney. It was fabulously styled by Michael Boyd with lots of sequins, feathers, pvc and crazy accessories, and featured myself along with an array of dancers of different styles.
After the show we were given tickets to watch the concert. It was fantastic! The lighting, the costumes, everything was amazing.

New Zealand
Last week I flew out to New Zealand for some fashion shows over there. I had such a great time! The client flew over a whole bunch of us and we all already knew each other so it was just like one big catch up with some shows thrown in!
We stayed at The Heritage Hotel in Christchurch which was a really nice hotel and we had massive rooms which went over two levels.
We managed to squeeze in a bit of sightseeing too. We spent an afternoon at Akaroa and another day at the Hanmer Springs. My favourite part of the whole trip was watching the baby lambs playing in the feilds, they were too cute for words!

Tupperware Campaign
Last month I was flown down to Melbourne to shoot a Tupperware campaign with photographer Gerard O'Connor and the advertisements have finally come out all across Australia!
It was a crazy shoot with circus themed costumes and over the top makeup.

America's Next Top Model
A few months ago I was flown out to Los Angeles to film an episode of America's Next Top Model, Cycle 11!
I arrived in LA after the long flight from Sydney feeling tired, but decided I just had to do some shopping while I was there, so I headed out to Century City for a few hours and spent way too much money!
The next day I headed to the studio and watched Tyra and the judges filming the first elimination. Tyra is even more beautiful in person if that is even possible! I also met Benny Ninja who I would be working with the following day during the shoot. Benny is the shows resident posing instructor and is very lovely and really funny.
I spent the afternoon at my hotel relaxing by the pool which was really nice as it was summer in LA but winter back home so it was nice to get some sun.
On the day of the shoot my driver Ray picked me up from my hotel and we made our way to the set which was an old, dirty warehouse. It was such a hot day and the warehouse didn't have many windows so it was stinking hot!
When the models arrived they walked into the room and saw Benny sitting on a box. When he turned the box around it revealed me inside with my leg over my head!
We were there to teach girls about extreme posing. I demonstrated to them different extreme poses on the box and then one at a time the girls came up to the box and showed us their extreme poses. Then the models stepped inside long red fabric tubes hanging from the ceiling and struck a series of extreme poses while Benny and I instructed them on how to improve their pose.
For me, Sheena did the best on the day and I thought she was very sweet, as were all the girls. In fact, all the crew on set were really friendly, it was great. I had a great time.
I left straight from the shoot to the airport and flew back home. It was a very quick trip but was so much fun!

Blackberry Bold Launch
Last night I performed at the Blackberry Bold launch at the Oxford Art Factory in Darlinghurst. I had half my face painted with silver and glitter by makeup artist Martin Bray which was crazy and felt horrible but looked great. I couldn't wait to take it off though, I had to spend the whole day trying not to smile so that it didn't crack and peel off.
My friend Anna Lunoe was the DJ for the night so it was fun getting to work with her again.

Los Angeles
Back in May I had a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles. It was so exciting and I had so much fun. I can't tell you why I was there just yet due to confidentiality agreements but it's really cool!!
I arrived feeling completely jet lagged but the second I got off the plane I went shopping! Haha, couldn't help myself!
The rest of the trip was pretty much filled with work and meetings, but I managed to get some time to go down for a dip in the pool.
I stayed in LA for two nights, then was back on the plane home to Sydney, Australia. I was delirious by the time I got home from the jet lag, but it was totally worth it!

Just Jeans show
A few days ago I flew to Melbourne for the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival Just Jeans show. The first day was filled with all the usual stuff...rehearsals, fittings, photo calls and tech runs. We stayed at the Como hotel on Chapel Street so we were in no shortage of great places to grab something yummy to eat after a busy day.
The day of the show I arrived at the venue and Aussie band Faker were doing a sound check! Bonus. Had no idea they were playing live during the show! The show was lots of fun and featured face of the brand Elyse Taylor, lots of models, some of Australia's best dancers and band Faker. After the show we headed back to the hotel, ordered room service, watched a movie and crashed into bed.
