I love texture and colour and run a small make up label. I have a daughter who's a 4 year old angel and juggle a lot (not actual juggling - it's a metaphor..).
I paint (well only faces now, but I used to paint before I got jaded). I can write well if pushed. I have turned my hobby into my career and now work in make up and have a make up range (small but there).

That painting is a lie. It's tricking you into thinking that a 2D surface is 3D. That anyone who claims to be Australia's Leading anything is making it up.Interests

"Watersports and not meeting people" ...from a friend of mine when I had to write his bio.

I'm pretty happy listening to FBI radio in Sydney at the moment. I do like Tosca, and being a bit of a nanna, I do like a bit of daggy lounge.Movies
Favourite movies: Dumb and Dumber, Camille Claudel, Madagasca, Bliss, Ice Age, want to see Jindabyne, a tad eclectic. Love Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Paris When it Sizzles (both Audrey movies). Love a bonnet drama on the ABC on a sundy night. I warned you, I am an old lady trapped in a 30 something body.Television
Black Books, The Bill (on the sly), The Bold and The Beautiful (on the sly), Daziel and Pascoe, any british cop show or US cop show for that matter. Healthy eating shows (makes me feel better about my diet and I juice carrots for at least 24 hours after that until I have to celan the juicer). Super Nanny (makes me feel like a good parent to my perfect 4 year old).Reading
Just finished "Bollywood Beauty" and before the was "A Total Waste of Make Up" and before that was a history of Lipstick. A theme is emerging.Oh and love Fabulous Noboies by Lee Tulloch.

Fantastic job on the makeup at the show on Wednesday Di! :D I was talking to one of the girls backstage who had red lips and gorgous bright blue eye-shadow and I was saying how great the makeup looked - she said she was very last and it was applied in about 30 seconds flat! Wish I could do make up that good in a hurry... :) We've put up a short review of the show here too.

thanks for that, it's very sweet of you to say so. It's been pretty hard work, and many saccrifices to get googled like that. It's be nice if it was reflected in my bank account! LOL, it means a lot that people like the stuff, since I make the stuff for girlie girls who want something a bit different. xx

Thats a great press photo, really nicely done! So I have to get myself a copy of "A celebration of the world's favourite cosmetic... Lipstick". Random fact I learnt about salt from that book, Roman Legionaires were at one point paid in salt! |

It's called "A celebration of the world's favourite cosmetic... Lipstick" by Jessica Pallingston. My step mom (she's texan) bought it for me. I have read a little on the history of salt, it's pretty amazing what salt represents in our society. Some would say I'm a nerd, but I too, adore obscure little tidbits like this that tell us a little about our world. |

The history of salt Allan? Did it involve the whole Ghandi thing?You know what, it actually sounds kind of interesting. And the history of lipstick too - I have to start reading these books! |
