About Me

I'm a 27 year old gal from Sydney. I live near Bondi, but not in Bondi, which is an important distinction. Born in South Africa, I immigrated to the lucky country with my family in '87, at which time I AGGRESSIVELY worked on losing my accent as fast as possible. Happily, I would like to report that there is not a trace left and that I am an adamant wallaby supporter. I work in PR in the beauty industry which is kind of a laugh. I've recently decided to start my own consultancy in the new year which is semi exciting semi petrifying. I aim to specialise in beauty brands if possible since this is my area of expertise...I have the bestest mates on earth but its always cool to make more. I've often been labelled a friend collector. I spend my spare time in le gym, on le beach, in le shops spending all my $$ or hanging with my pals. Most people would describe me as slightly mad. And they wouldn't be too wrong. I've recently re-discovered my youth and you can often find me stumbling about town on a Saturday night. In conclusion, I would like to announce that I do not understand the Myspace phenomenon AT ALLLLLLLLL and am trying very hard to be a cool Gen Y-er and get on board.

I'd like to meet:

Any ol' folks I guess. Currently interested in talking to people who have started their own biz as I need all the help I can get!
STRANGE FACTS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT BUNNIES:
*bunnies aren't rodents. they're lagomorphs. * bunnies are crepuscular: not diurnal nor nocturnal, they are most active around dusk or dawn * bunnies have three sets of eyelids * bunnies cannot vomit (this is my favourite)
CHECK OUT THE RADDEST COSTUMES FROM MOVEMBER 2006! MARIE AND I WENT AS JACKIE Os. EXCEPT WITH Mos.

Music:

Odd and varied taste in music. CD collection could be found to contain anything from Frank Sinatra to Ben Folds, to Midnight Oil, Nelly Furtado, John Mayer, Jamiroquai, Bernard Fanning, Sting, Dance stuff and so forth. I have a SWEET acoustic-electric Fender that I bought on Haight & Ashbury in San Francisco which is my pride and joy. Though sadly it spends many a day/week/month sitting in the corner of my room gathering dust. sniff. Depends if I've got a manicure or not or if I'm in the mood for rock n roll!

Movies:

Really dont dig hollywood films too often. When I go to the movies its usually to see an indy film. 9 times out of 10 they're better. That being said, I LOVE a good silly comedy (see anchorman comment). My DVD collection only contains movies that I can watch on repeat for the rest of all eternity and never get bored - think Napoleon Dynamite, Parenthood, Thelma & Louise, Point Break, The Great Muppet Caper, Y Tu Mama Tambien etc...
I also starred in pirates of the carribean. See below.

Television:

Arrested Development, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, ER and a good solid innings of reality TV.

Books:

Dont read NEARLY as much as I would like to, but I'm certain EVERYONE says that. I like reading non fiction and fiction I guess. Last AWESOME book I read was a million little pieces by James Frey. I didn't realise till afterwards that half the book is apparently fraudulent. Meh, it was a good read. Also, I must note that I HATEDDDDDD the Da Vinci Code and threw it away half way through. oops.

Heroes:

Heroes? Gosh... I dunno. Peter Garrett, Will Farrell, my Dad? (He used to be a black belt in karate and play drums and base in a band - how cool is he??)
