I’m of the belief that when you’re given the opportunity to go to New York (or anywhere for that matter) on a whim, you bloody well take it. No thinking, just say YES. Last week my boss Pam called me with an unusual proposition…to dash over to the US and back in three days to [...]

Whenever my fiancé (feels wanky writing that but I’ll get over it) My man friend with whom I am going to be legally and romantically bound, FOREVER, is asked what I do for a living, he says ‘she’s a comedian’. Good one. He’s right, that’s sort of my job…even though a lot of the time [...]

It’s a year this week since I replaced Kit Kats (3 o’clock sugar hit anyone?) with stretchy pants and I’m 10kgs (sometimes 9kg) down. Let’s all eat a cake to celebrate. I’ve droned on about it before but what really kicked started my exercise was a friend in the US on facebook going on and [...]

Expensive restaurants, anything that is deemed ‘exclusive’…I can’t hide my joy…  I end up looking like one of those slack jawed clowns from the show, wide eyed and beaming.

Dear Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano ash cloud (ash cloud), Firstly I want to say, I get it. I understand that the natural world is clever and wise and chooses to challenge us at the exact moment that we get too comfortable… such as routinely arriving at the airport eleven minutes before the flight closes, clutching our [...]

I had an audition for a TV ad last week. I felt confident. I wore my good jeans….the ones that both level and lift.  Not too much make up and a flat shoe. It was at a casting agency where I had been before… where at the conclusion of my last audition, one of the [...]

Christ, Beyoncé brings the shit out of it. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOTMEXTlWhc&feature=share

I visited a hip exhibition at Chadstone today for The Circle, that featured 32 contemporary paper dresses. Yep, dresses made of paper that for about ten minutes in history in the 1960s where SUPER popular. They were cheap, colourful and fabulous and after you wore them you could pop them on the wall as art [...]
