Celine Dion anyone???? Ok sooooooooooo the concert was, in as small a word I can put it SENSATIONAL!!!!!!! Celine herself was just amazing, honestly it was unbelievable, she hit every note without flinching, danced her ass off and just generally put on a fabulous show. To think that woman is 40 is just quite unbelievable, she’s got a body that would rival Gisele!! No sh**! And her wardrobe was stunning, worked perfectly with the show and Celine herself! Did think it was a bit random her 7 year old son was sitting in the audience…bit late really but I s’pose he’s prob used to it! All in all it was an amazing night…although here we have a problem. The seats we had were great, but hung directly above a 30ft drop…now who thinks that I had no issues getting firstly out of the tunnel to my seat? WRONG! Had to take off heels and then proceed to have a member of security (a BIG BIG DUDE) escort me to said seat. DURING the show I was SO not standing to dance etc….infact it really took all I had to stand to give Ms Dion her well-deserved standing ovation! Ha! After the show I had an amazing idea…wait until everyone else leaves and it’ll be easier (think I was momentarily on crack) because you know what happens when everyone leaves?? You can see right freakin’ around the arena and see exactly how high that 30ft looks!! I actually got stuck; yes I almost had to change my residential address to seat 125, row G, Acer Arena, Sydney. Oy! Marea Sr had to leave me to a) go to the bathroom because she was laughing so hard at me and b) find another man to help me down….I swear I thought I might vomit right over myself, called Mama B who laughed hysterically at me, while I was laughing so hard there were tears running down my face! Lmao! By this point though Celine could have been in her hotel suite in her PJ’s…honestly they were breaking down the stages and the lights are going down, I’m THE only person in the audience section! Anyhoo, BIG security guard rocks up to help me (think when Marea Sr asked him to help her to get her niece down as she was stuck he expected to walk out and see a 6 year old! Haha!) Poor bloke had his neck almost pierced with my nails as he walked me out! Freaksake, hypnotherapy here I come! “OY”
The beginning of the week was a quiet one, although we did have a change of clocks with the intro of daylight savings, now this really didn’t go that well for me!!! Oy! I actually put my clocks forward instead of backwards so on Sunday morning when I would normally be picked up for church at 7:50am I was actually outside of the house waiting for Aunty Marea at 5:50am!!! ‘Sake, it took me about 20 minutes to figure out something was a-miss! Lmao! I was SERIOUSLY still confused about what time it was when I went to watch Jack at 6pm!!! I was like, ok….it is 5, 6 or 7 right now?!?!?!?!? Argh! Anyhoo it’s all good now, my clocks are all at the same time and the confusion is over! Phew!
On Tuesday night I seriously had a HEAP of fun!!! I was working at the preview event for Australian Fashion Week in Alexandria, my intentions at these type of events is to do what I do best and get myself noticed so that’s what I did…and man did it pay off, Maya – the event manager on site picked me up and asked if I’d like to have a model to dress…ahem, yes please. I walk into the dressing room a-la-Sex and the City the episode where Carrie hits the deck, t’was just like that really……seriously, it was just FABULOUS! So I walk in and there are freakin’ models everywhere and I look over and there is a circle of 8 GGGGGGGGGORGEOUS male models, the men part and there’s my mate Danny (as gay as they come) kneeling in the middle of them sizing up there inside legs, I swear I nearly buckled over laughing “Having fun, darling?” to which he replied “UH-HUH!” with a cheeky glint in his eye. I check my rack to see who I’m dressing and find out her name is Courtney, who is a doll! Sooo cute, I say “Hi Courtney, I’m Marea I’ll be dressing you this evening” she was so bashful and cute….anyhoo turns out she was one of the only ones, the model next to my rack wouldn’t even move her hair for her girl to put her earrings in! Come on freaksake girl, you’re not a higher being…get your act together!! Anyhoo the show was amazing. I got to meet Uber-Couture designer who it turns out, is a wanker. Hahaha! – Wayne: “Do I really have to wear one of these wrist bands?”, Me: “Yes, yes you do!” Blah…come on Wayne, really….no need for the attitude, or the entourage who walked in with the comment “I’m with Mr. Cooper”!! ha! “Oh really, do I have my bothered face on tonight? No. Get your ass over to the sign-in desk!” hahaha! Anyways, got myself noticed and yes peoples I am doing Australian Fashion Week in 2 weeks time and yes peoples I am SOOOOOOOO very, very, very excited about it! The clothes are fabulous, the people are fabulous which by extension makes me even more fabulous (who would have thought that could be possible! Ha-ha!) It’s going to be an amazing experience; the learning curve from that one night alone was sensational so I can’t wait to see what rolls out from the full week!
Also did a site visit at Acer Arena at Olympic stadium for an event which was crazy…amazing to be standing where a full concert takes place with nobody in the arena, and to get to see into the dressing rooms etc where so many stars have been, it’s quite surreal and really makes you feel so small to be walking the halls that so many people I have admiration for have walked, really very humbling. Blllaaaahhhh, nowt much else to report - i'm on school hols for 2 weeks, which means some more pennies for me! yay!
Gar left yesterday, it’s bizarre to be back to just me in the apartment, funny really. Jack is away at a campsite at the moment hope he has heaps of fun.
I hear that all back in Scotland are freezing their asses off…snow in April??? Eh?? WTF!? It’s been storming here for a coupla days but nothing too drastic, no tsunami’s at the moment so that’s a bonus. Ok……….am out for the moment, will post over the course of the week....and hopefully get some photos up of the past week or so's endevours! :)
Peace and all that shizzle
Love on ya,
