Pics from last week

Actuall had a night off last week, courtesy of a friends birthday and Gill djing at Purple Sneakers. Went to Mad Pizza in Darlinghurst for Stefan's Birthday, followed by drinkas at Nevermind, then off to the Gladstone for Purple Sneakers coz Gill's set was at 2.
Photographer Maja Baska was there taking pics all night, here are just a few.....

Sadly, as I found out the following morning that my friend whos birthday it was had been punched out on Oxford Street right outside of his birthday party at Live. Apparently this guy just came up to him outsde the club and punched him in the face and he hit the pavement. He ran after him follwed by security guards from Live and the surrounding clubs.
I can't understand the mentality of a person who can to cause physical harm to another person, what gives them the right?!!
Luckily my friend is ok but it makes you seriously think about how safe the gay community really is even on Oxford Street!! and it also makes me think how stupid that guy was to think he could get away with hitting a gay man on Oxford Street.... Hello!!!!

Hey hey sorry it's been a couple of weeks, things have been crazy! I was really sick (which sucked) then I was working so much that it seemed all I was doing was eat, sleep and work! And let me tell you the sleep part was very minimal!!

Anyway just a quick note to say.... I GOT MORE BRAS!!! YIPPEE... and show you all the new stuff that was just sent to me from dimitySO.
This time round they sent me so much stuff I was so excited!! 8 bras with matching underwear and then 3 lingerie items with matching underwear!! AMAZING!! Check out what's in store at David Jones because it is awesome!!

So I know I have mentioned the Sydney Film Festival in my blog already but I have to tell you about this film I saw as part of the festival and that I hope gets a general release here in Oz.

The film is "Women without men" by Shirin Neshat. I was totally blown away by this films honesty and brutality. I went with friend of mine who worked with a guy in the philippines who was Iranian and a film maker and was exiled from Iran for making communitst films and was previously jailed for making these films. I think having known of someone in that situation made the film even more powerful for me and also being in the arts myself and thinking of what it would be like if I was told I could never sing or act again and if I did so I would be jailed or exiled never to return again to my country or my family.

I've just attached below a message from the film maker about the film, please if it does get released here, do yourself a favour and watch it, it's heartbreakingly beautiful.

"Women Without Men captures a pivotal moment in the summer 1953, when the hopes of a nation are crushed by foreign powers in a tragic blow that led to the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Thirty years later, as we look at the young men and women protesting in the streets of Iran in the face of ruthless brutality, we are reminded once again that this struggle is alive and well. I can only hope that Women Without Men will make a small contribution to the vast narrative of Iran’s contemporary history, in reminding us of the voice of a nation that was silenced in 1953 by powers both internal and external and that has risen again." - Shirin Neshat

My 15 Minutes of fame (LOL not quite)

So last night as I was watching season 2 of true blood (amazing by the way) I get a phone call from my friend Tara quite excited telling me I was on TV!
My reaction...... Huh?? Clearly I had no idea what she was talking about, you think you'd remember shooting something for TV right?!!
Then she started talking about my serial killer alter ego and I realised what she was talking about... the 'Deadly Women' epp I shot for Foxtel. So of course the TV was imediately turned the Ci channel and there I was, my entire face taking up the screen in black and white wearing my short black curly wig!! Sooooo bizarre!! I had forgotten all about the fact it was airing here at some point, seeing as I shot it like a year ago!!
Anyway thought I'd share.... check me out in all my serial killer glory (or not seeing as she was a real person and did actually commit these crimes... but you catch my drift)

Sydney Film Festival Time!

So I lost my job last week courtesy of the pub I was working at being sold!... It happens I was a bit upset but moving on....
My old boss from the theatre I used to work at calls me and asks if I wanted some work for The Sydney Film Festival. Of course my answer (considering my current jobless status) was YES!!

Obviously it got me intrigued about what was showing as part of the festival, so I checked out the Festival guide in the Herald. There are some awesome films, docos and silent films with live music happening in venues across Sydney.

I have booked to see two films so far......

"The Runaways"
