saved up and bought a bottle green pair of jeans from Just Jeans in the third
grade.
10. I trained as a Milliner, and have a huge collection of
handmade hats which I lovingly made.

can smile up at him on his pillar in Trafalgar Square.
8. I Figure Skated thorough most of my childhood.
7. I am allergic to chicken.
6. My eyes change colour. From pale blue, to greeny blue
to grey to violet.
5. I cried in Primary school during maths classes so I
would be able to sit outside and work on my landscape paintings.
4. I have dreamt about whales my whole life. They are
always popping up.
3. I am in love with the French Cinema Industry. I
possibly watch more French films than any other.
2. As soon as I turned 18 I went to Germany/ Denmark on my
own, and traveled for a couple of months, staying at back packers. I looked
about 15; they always asked if I should be with my parents.
My answers to Sharon's questions:
11. What was one of your resolutions for 2013?
To re-launch my blog with the new shorter title! It's not
there yet!
10. How do you stay healthy?
I eat well, work at maintaining a happy outlook on life and honour my
integrity.
9. How would your friends describe you?
"Trouble" (thanks Mario!)
8. What would you do if you suddenly won $10 million
dollars?
Travel A LOT. Study a final year at DAMU in Prague, buy an
apartment, a whole new wardrobe and develop theatre projects with fellow
artists.
7. How would you describe your home interior?
I have no home! Ha ha! I move all the time, so my home is
wherever I am staying at the time. My possessions are all in storage mode, but
I have gotten rid of a lot of them, except for my books. I think my wardrobe
becomes my home, or my suitcase.
6. Style wise, who is your icon?
Just one? That is so hard! I am a mix of influences! As a
teenager I become enamored with Audrey Hepburn so observing her take on
classics has been grounded into my aesthetic. As a kid I loved Gwen Stefani and
I still do. I went through the phase of wearing chains, houndstooth, long
shorts, pageboy caps, Rastafarian touches and more, I love that woman. My style
inspiration folder is full of Mary-Kate Olsen, Christine Centenera, Taylor
Tomasi Hill and Erin Wasson.
5. What is your most treasured piece of clothing/
jewellery and why?
I have a
Jean Claude Jitrois Leather bag, with the world map stitched on. It was a
vintage find upon my travels in Paris, I dug it out of a big box of bags, and
the store owner got all excited, as he said he looked forward to meeting the
person who would fall in love with that piece. It fits my whole life inside- sketchbook,
paint set, camera, etc, it has a special pocket for my passport. Recently the
team at Jitrois tweeted me to say how happy they were to see the piece has
survived, and that it was very rare. One of the members of Deff Leppard had
bags from the same collection, which sold at auction in 2006 for around
$1000US, and since I paid about $30AUD for it, I did pretty well!
4. Describe your usual Saturday night.
I tend to 'go out' on weeknights, so by Saturday night I
just want to cook a nice meal, tuck up with a good novel or French film, or
visit friends and hang out.
3. What is your favourite dish to cook?
Salmon Steaks. I love to cook, but prefer making dinners
to desserts, as I don't really like them!
2. What’s your ideal holiday?
Visiting gardens and art galleries, having a long lunch,
painting as I go at the table or on a park bench, and a touch of shopping! Or
camping, bushwalking and hiking.
1. How tall are you?
164cm.
