Girls on Film

It’s been a particularly crazy couple of weeks here, first I got sick and not just a little cough or man flu kind of sick but 5 weeks plus of bronchitis that they thought was turning into pneumonia kind of sick. Unpleasant to say the least and I’d barely started feeling better before flying to Sydney last week to do this:

interviewed

Yep that’s an (admittedly fuzzy) shot of me in front of a camera being interviewed. I had my hair and make-up done by the fabulous Petr Vackar who managed to make my tired and still rather sickly skin glow. He’s amazing, I invited him to come live with me and do my make-up every morning but he’s far too talented to be wasted like that (and last time I checked you had to actually buy tickets to win the lottery so there’s no way I could afford a personal make-up god).

The team from Distracted Media were wonderful and made me feel so comfortable despite my nerves at being on camera. I’m afraid I’m going to sound more Kath & Kim than I’d like – complete with husky smokers edge to the nasally accent thanks to the lingering damage from the bronchitis but I really enjoyed the experience and I got to talk about a subject close to my heart before dashing off to lunch in the city then rushing to the airport to catch my plane home. It will be a few months until we get to see the end result and I’m sure I’ll cringe at how I look and sound but it won’t stop me from telling you where you can see the episodes once they’re live.

Share and Enjoy

The Woman Beneath – Kylie

21 May 2013 The Woman Beneath

Wife. Mother. Book Lover. Blogger. Wannabe Photographer. These are the words that are the very first to appear on my blog, A Study in Contradictions. They are contained within the header. I’ve been all 5, with the exception of ‘Mother’ for at least the last 4 years. I’ve been a wife for almost 5 years. [...]

Taking IVF Out of Reach

15 May 2013 Infertility

I don’t pretend to know much about politics, I have an opinion (don’t we all) but in general I keep my mouth shut about it. I rarely make political commentary (it’s one sure way to start an argument) but I am so disheartened by the budget and the impact it will have on IVF and [...]

Mother’s May

7 May 2013 Infertility

there are so many women hurting this week, ones that wish they could just skip over Sunday, who don’t want to hear about your macaroni necklace or breakfast in bed. They are motherless themselves or have empty arms through infertility, loss or circumstance [...]

The Woman Beneath – Emily

30 April 2013 The Woman Beneath

Despite the fact I’m a ‘sensible’ mother of three – there is still a risk-taking party girl lurking inside of me somewhere, desperate to get out. She doesn’t get the chance to come out and play much anymore, but whenever I let my kids jump into the ocean with their clothes or go nude swimming in winter I know it’s the reckless part of me shining through. [...]

Have you had ‘the talk’?

29 April 2013 Sponsored

I remember watching the news one day when Dexter was about one, a car had hit a young woman while she pushed her baby in the pram, the baby had broken bones and was allowed to go home but the mother was in a coma and in a critical condition. I’m sure you all know the story, it was so heartbreaking and I remember watching the footage and thinking about that poor man with his two little loves in danger, I wondered how TheGamer would cope. Hell, I wondered how I’d cope (badly, I suspect) [...]
