Nespresso Lattissima media launch
Last night was the Nespresso Lattissima media launch at Cafe Sydney.
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, Hayden Quinn, Camilla Freeman-Topper, Sally Obermeder, Annalise Braakensiek, Nacho Pop, Nikki Phillips and Airlie Walsh.

Roma: From Prison to Paradise
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.
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!

Photo Booth
I flew to Melbourne yesterday for a fun day off with my little sister! We had a yummy lunch at Manhattan in Toorak followed by a spot of shopping on Chapel Street of course! We also have a little tradition that we do whenever we're together where we go take silly photos at a photo booth...♥

Burlesque show for Keune event
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
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!
