Filming and flares

Just wrapped filming a TV commercial for Asian Paints which will air early next year in India, Sri Lanka and a few other countries.
We shot the commercial at the stunning Strickland House in Vaucluse where the film Australia was also filmed. Strickland House has the most amazing views of the Sydney skyline and harbour, it's such a great place to call your office for the day!
One of my scenes was me as a magicians assistant showing the audience inside a mansion, lighting up the room with a flare...and I actually used a real flare! I wasn't nervous until they brought in medics on standby, had fire extinguishers, buckets of water and face masks, then I was a little scared I might set the house on fire or my hair!! I started thinking I might have a Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial moment! Eek.
On the third take ash fell from the flare right in my eye! It was pretty painful surprisingly, I couldn't stop my eye from watering and ruined all my makeup. I felt sorry for the poor makeup lady Sarah. Sorry Sarah! She had to re-do my makeup again!
Other than that little incident it all went well and I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.

My outfit was screaming the 80's!

First scene with the flareThe ash fell in my eye right about now...So much smoke!

Girls night

Girls night! I wore a high waisted fuschia skirt from Max in New Zealand, Mimco bangle and ring from Live This.

Masquerade Ball

Last night I performed at the Children's Cancer Institute Australia masquerade ball at Sydney's Sofitel Wentworth hotel. It was a fabulous event with models dressed up in old fashioned ball gowns and masks, burlesque performers, musicians, living statues, magicians and myself performing contortion.

Gorilla Radio

This morning I co-hosted with Mike Goldman and Troy Thompson on the Gorilla Radio breakfast show! It was so much fun! The boys were wanting me to do some contortion while we were on air for the studio's web cam, so I said to the listeners that if they sent me tweets on twitter asking me to do it I would...and they did! It was pretty funny. I didn't really dress for the occasion though in my short dress so the crew got a bit of a flash but they didn't seem to mind! Haha.

Juicy Couture fragrance launch

Yesterday I performed at the launch of Juicy Couture's new fragrance 'Couture Couture'.
It was an amzing event held at the QVB tea rooms. The room was decorated with gold and pink curtains, old velvet chairs adorned with pink and gold cushions, black and white helium balloons scattered around the room, disco balls, bubble machines, confetti covered floor, a huge gold birdcage, tiers of cakes, tea, champagne and I sat perched on a pink and black baby grand piano flanked by bare chested glitter men while a man on stilts roamed the room! It was fantastic!
The fragrance smells divine and comes in a beautiful bottle available in stores April 2010.

New poster

Daily Telegraph Interview

Empire Online review

Fragment film review by Empire Online. "There's an eerie eroticism about Bradley's scenes with Robertson, whose innocence only proves to be skin deep and her vampish seductiveness contrasts nicely with Chadwick's unrequited yearning concern for her increasingly detached friend."

RSPCA Donation

As an animal lover, the thought of animals not having a loving home, being abused or abandoned really upsets me. That's why I decided to do something. I often donate money here and there to animal charities, but I wanted to actively go out there and do something more than just clicking a button to transfer a few dollars.
The RSPCA is a non government, community based charity which depends heavily on donations and support from the public, so I rallied around and sent emails to friends and family asking for everyone to donate something from the RSPCA's wishlist which I would then collect and take to the Yagoona shelter in NSW.
Unfortunately of the 200 or so people I contacted to help out and donate something as little as a single tennis ball, only 16 people actually donated anything. I must admit I was a little shocked, but thank goodness for those people that did! Some people donated well over $100 worth of brand new products!

We managed to collect a huge amount of goodies to donate including:

13 squeaky toys
12 tennis balls
9 cans cat food
6 blankets
6 cat balls
5 rope toys
5 boxes dry cat food
4 bags fresh dog treats
3 bags bird seed
3 bags raw hide
3 rubber balls
2 mats
2 kitty scratching posts
2 bags rabbit food
2 bags beef strips
2 bags cat treats
2 dog leads
2 cans dog food
1 bed
1 box chocolate dog biscuits
1 food bowl
1 soft toy
1 roll poo bags
1 play tent
1 bag dry dog food
1 bag assorted biscuits and treats
1 grooming kit

I would really like to thank everyone who helped out and donated something to make these shelter animals lives a little better.

Thank you to...
