A little update on this sunday afternoon.... its 3pm and I just had a skype session with mom. Still in my PJs and happy to have NOTHING to do today. Work has been going well. Rob Schneider was in last week and this tuesday, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman along with the whole cast and crew of the movie Australia are renting the place out. That should be fun!!!

I didnt end up doing the Bondi Beach Babe photo shoot because of a desire for sleep. However, I DID do a photo shoot with Michelle Streimer ( a possible relative and handbag designer) check it out

I also had an interview with a new Pilates franchise and they want to take me on as an apprentice!! Basically they are paying for my certification and coursework and in return, ill work for them at a lower rate. The owner has written and trademarked everything with a physio and has their OWN way of doing things. She has taken on Americans before and has even flown them out to Australia to help her at busy times. SO, it wil be a great way for me to get into the business, network and learn. One of the teachers was the choreographer of the Australia Lion King!!

Its funny that even though there is an economic recession, the two jobs I have, people are still paying for. Drinking and being social, along with staying fit.

Other than that all is well. O by the way.. I am going to fiji for New years:-) Fiji and Thailand are my two destinations while im over here and Mike has taken the holiday off of work so...we will be ringing in the new year on an island:-)
I am VERY excited!!!

Keep the emails and updates coming.... I miss you all!

For the Excitement

Well its been a busy week here but some exciting things have been happening.
Monday I was an extra in a music video for Cassie Davis. She is Sony BMG's new up and coming artist and will be released in Janurary. I am wearing a lime green tank top so if they use the footage, you will be able to spot me.

A few weeks ago I auditioned for a commercial and found out I GOT IT! Funny because its for KFC. Im basically dancing in it like at a party. There will be alot of freezing in the movement and with cuts and a number of takes, they wanted people who could remember their positions so only auditioned dancers. I will be filming tomorrow and am very excited.

I am also having a photo shoot with Bondi Beach Babes. They are a tourism/marketing company for stores and shops in Bondi and they are making a calendar with swimwear and clothes from the local stores. They keep post poning due to weather but if they like the shots of me, I could be in a calendar:-) If not, more shots for my portfolio :-) :-)

Ivy is great! I am really loving that I can rely on that job to make rent but still have my days to do things I want to do and pursue my career.

Hope all is well on your side of the world... GO OBAMA!!!
cheers

Its November already

Wow, how time flies. I must say, Halloween was fine but I think thanksgiving is going to be pretty hard. Phil and I have talked about having a dinner for our mates. I have already asked off of work so I can enjoy the festivities.
I worked on Halloween which turned out to be fun! I wore my hair in braids with a head band thing and was " native american" hehe get it? Saturday I spent the day with Michelle Streimer. We went out for coffee and then we shmyed around. She designs purses in her spare time so we headed to a fabric store to check some things out. They had chanel, D&G, and pucci fabric...it was really cool to see. We talked about doing a photo shoot and me modeling for her website so that could be fun. I went out to dinner and drinks with Erica Roth at the Ivy and had a blast. Got total VIP treatment starting off just by being escorted all over, getting INTO the actual VIP... and cutting lines etc. just nice to actually go out for once. Erica had to head out and shortly after my other friend erica came. We went to another Merivale bar and got drinks there, hung out, and I went back to Ivy to meet up with my aussie mates I met through phil. Theyre all like my brothers but nothing compares to mine.

Today I had lunch with the cohens (the family my place is connected to). They had Jasmine (streimer) and Daniel (her husband) over so it was good to see them. Oddly enough it was the first time ive felt homesick. Weird because they feel like family but I dont know what it is.

I am just hanging out for the afternoon and finally relaxing. I have a busy but exciting week ahead. Tomorrow I am shooting a music video for Cassie Davis. An up an coming artist for Sony. Just doing extra work but I think it will be a great way to meet people! Tuesday is Melbourne Cup day. A HUGE race that basically the entire country takes off of work for. I am working through my work travel company (over $20 an hour) and then off to the Ivy to work so it is going to be a looooooong day. Friday I am doing the photo shoot for Bondi beach Babes. They are a tourism company and doing a shoot for the different clothing stores. If they like my shots, I could be in a calendar:-)

Erica has decided to move to the city as well so we are going to start looking together. It would be great to live with an australian but we get along really well, shes gone during the days and I am gone at night so we're going to figure something out. Michelle is staying where she is now and I need to move soon so we shall see

All is well. I cant believe I have been here for over a month already. My travel and shopping bug are beginning to nibble but I cant let it bite just yet. I hope all is well and PLEASE email me with updates.
