Altitude sickness?

Yesterday I woke up with a mild fever, breathlessness and nausea. At first I thought I had been poisoned by the half price sushi I stuffed myself with the night before. But as no-one else who I had been to dinner with was suffering the same fate as me, I just figured I had caught swine flu.

To combat the swine I began my usual regime of flu fighting technique....

1. Lots of sleep
2. NO exercise
3. Drinking buckets of special tea- chopped garlic, lemon juice and honey
4. Pounding vitamin C
5. Water

I consulted my mum (who's a doctor) about my symptoms and she automatically diagnosed me with mild altitude sickness.

I looked up the elevation of our Breckenridge condo on google maps. We're living at 10,200 feet! No wonder I'm feeling like shit.

VOTE!!!

This is for anyone out there who is following this blog. I would appreciate it so much if you took 2 minutes out of your day to vote for me in the 2010 Powder Magazine Video Awards and Readers Poll. I have never been nominated for anything like this before and it would make my season if I was.

Winter Song

I know aeroplane travel is no new concept, but every time I board a plane in Summer and 15 hours later walk out into Winter, it amazes me. To get in the mood for cold weather I've made a Winter playlist. Here is one of my favourites...

Baby it's Cold Outside by Zooey Deschanel and Leon Redbone.

Back to the Snow!

I arrived at Denver airport last night, to meet my long time roomie Davina and Frenchie (Anais Caradeux).

Our amazing friend Carrie agreed to drive down from Breckenridge to pick us up and chauffeur us to the mountain. Us girls don't pack light. We had to play tetris with our bags until they finally fit into the car.


I had my first day skiing today. I was feeling a little dizzy from the altitude and lack of sleep, but it was fun to get out in the fresh air and see all my friends.

City Shoot

Trying to strike a pose is not my forte and in most of the portrait shots that have been taken of me I look unmistakeably awkward. But last week I went into the city with a photographer named Nick Dale and my friend Stephanie De Olivera, who is a stylist, and managed to get some not so awkward shots.

I thought the Melbourne skyline here looked a little like lego land

Summer song

This song has been bopping round in my head for the last few weeks. It reminds me of hot weather, friends and fun times at home. It's called Psychic City (Classixx Remix) by Yacht. Listen....
