I just got this pic sent to me from Tito Media, one of the paparazzi photo companies. The shot sums up my week.
1. I saw Oprah. I loved that a few of her “ultimate guests” read my blog and contacted me to say hi. A shout out to Jocelyn xxx
2. I got talked into getting Love Those Lashes lash extensions. Not usually my thing. I’m not an extension/fussy/lie-down-and-have-a-beauty-treatment kind of lady. But it’s saved me wearing makeup all week. I’m sans slap in this pic…but it doesn’t look it. Marvellous.
3. I rode to Oprah, at the Opera House, which was very handy given the rest of the 6000-strong crowd had to queue to get cabs afterwards. This is a fave bike riding outfit – stretch Gstar jeans (high enough in waist so plumber’s crack not divulged to traffic behind me), singlets (for breathability) and my sling over shoulder bag (holds my laptop; from Country Road). Anyway, this week saw a very large number of passionate bike helmet comments flood to my blog. Read up here.
4. I got good news. Which is why I’m smiling. I’d just found out I’m hosting 7pm Project – filling in for Carrie – later in the month. Very, very excited.
Have a smooth Friday!

PS You might’ve heard me mention Jo, my assistant. Jo doesn’t know I’m about to put this pic up. She will soon. This is Jo:
If you’d like to know more about her, check out her blog The World is Your Oyster. Jo is one of those people who attracts good, giving projects and people to her. Constantly. I witness it in action. She works part-time with foster kids and foster parents. Here she shares about Vicki (who’s cooler than Oprah and has fostered 100 kids)…

You look totally smokin’ without make-up! I would consider those lashes myself they look so great, but I am a lot like you, Im not the fussy type who is capable of lying down for hours on end having someone fiddle with my hair/face/eyelashes. I cant sit still long enough for a hair cut – my hairdresser is my sister and even she slaps me for fidgeting.
Nice work on the 7pm Project! I might have to start watching it now.
Hello Jo!!!

Was your bike helmet part of that gorgeous outfit? Just kidding!!!! Sorry, couldn’t resist that after the week that’s been!

Who cares if the photographer is Sarah’s partner. She looks great and is a great ambassador for cycling.

Awesome week! Congratulations. Looking forward to catching you on 7pm Project.

Awesome news about the 7pm Project. Well done. Oh and the lashes look divine. I used to be hooked on them myself when I was in Bangkok for work every week – uber cheap there
and as you said, totally low maintainance

There is a lady in Bondi, company name Elegant Lashes who i found to be better and cheaper than Love my lashes.
Her number is 93008775
Lash extensions are amazing, the only thing i have found is that my real eyelashes suffered. I hope you don’t have the same problem.

I hope that you do realise that in this last post you have advocated using a real fur product (Siberian mink) in the pursuit of vanity. Mink farming has some serious welfare issues for the animals involved and I invite you to research some of the scientific literature regarding the hormonal, reproductive and welfare effects of overcrowding, frequent handling and inadequate environmental enrichment on minks. If you believe that the minks involved in the production of eyelashes are treated any differently to those involved in the production of fur coats and blankets I would encourage you to ask to visit the farms of the company whose product you are promoting for free. I wonder how you would feel about using and advertising the fur of other intensively housed and undervalued animals eg RSPCA shelter cats and dogs in the name of improving your looks. You should then ask yourself why you perceive that minks are less entitled to the standard of care that we would expect for these animals.
