'Beautiful' people..

This past weekend, I had the privelage  of working at The Crown Towers amongst the busy people from the annual Melbourne Grand Prix. For those of you who don't know - 'Crown' is one of the largest (or is the largest - don't quote me) casino's and five star hotels in Australia. Truly an amazing place! Such intriguing people fill those buildings, every hour of every day. If only I could hear everyone's story. Over the duration of the weekend, I met some very interesting and I must say some heart stopping characters. Some of those people being the heart throbbing Ed Westwick, or as most of you would know him as 'Chuck Bass'.

Yes I know. Amazing. You're riddled with jealously right now. I am terribly sorry *pokes out tongue like three year old*. I must admit I was in hysterics, although a quiet one it was (not by choice). My heart was racing a million miles an hour, and I went a little bit 'gaga' when I came to my senses and realised he was standing 30cm away from me and talking directly at me. The hysterics came rushing back again. I felt as if I were a thirteen year old at a Justin Bieber concert. Oh my.. Totally cringe worthy. After getting over the excitement of meeting 'Chuck' and my heart rate decreasing to its normal speed I was then faced with meeting Dannii Minogue!

Once again for those of you who don't know who she is, or should I say for people that don't live in Australia; she is the talented Kylie Minogue's sister. Once again, you bet it, I was star struck. Dressed in the most beautiful dress, tottering around in THE most divine stilleto's, and clutching a ridiculously expensive, amazing to look at Prada bag. She looked as pretty as a picture! To my next surprise, without even knowing at first I met world re-known Formula one, world champion Michael Shumacher. 

I didn't even know much about him, other than he drove fast cars, well.. umm.. fast. I was still star struck! On the Sunday I met model, Ashley Hart (sister of Seafolly model Jess Hart) who was the embassador for the 2011 Grand Prix. She looked absolutely incredible and chic, whilst being gracefully directed to her private car.

It was only that on Monday I realised that I was being absurd. Quite frankly, not just me but the whole world. It hit me like a ton of bricks when I realised how much we hold 'celebrities' up on a pedestal. It really is ridiculous. What drove me to my turning point was doing a double take at two very hungover Hart sisters, walking into the lobby wearing Crown hotel slippers (you know the one's that we all steal from the hotels we stay at? The ones we take but wouldn't be caught wearing by anyone, let alone in day light in the middle of a very nice hotel lobby. Nah uh. What a shocking fashion faux pas!). The sisters had no make up on, were dressed like normal human beings, had the morning after eye liner smudge under their eyes, and if I put this bluntly - looked terrible. They looked just like you and I after a long night out! It was this that made me realise, other than that the Hart sisters needed some serious scrubbing up to do and a little application of a tinted moisturiser, that actors, models, actresses and 'super stars' are just human! Pat on the back Phoebe for an amazing realisation! This seriously had me thinking all day.. These people seem so beautiful and so immensly talented in our eyes, but when you think about it they have just been given an extra great opportunity, were in the right place at the right time one day, they were 'found' before someone else maybe even better came along. These people have had the help of professionals through out the world, people to work on their hair, stylists, make up artists to make them appear immaculate and flawless. They have been given an opportunity that people out there who simply haven't been in the 'right place at the right time' were.  I feel that I am blabbering on right now, but what I am trying to say is that yes these people are special, and I do look up to them to some degree, but there are so many other talented and naturally beautiful individuals out there in the world that work on striving in life on their own and not with the help of Hollywood professionals and photoshop. Be comfortable in your own skin, and NEVER compare yourself to another.

Welcome, Bula Vinaka, and G'day!

Well here I am, the day has come. I am taking a big scary leap and entering the blogging world! I know a few that will be extremely proud. Yes this is a huge step for yours truly. 
I spent the evening becoming best friends with my ever so trusty aquintance 'Google'. Asking questions such as, "How do I write and publish my first blog entry?", wracking my brain for hours on what to write, whether I have a 'targeted audience' or what my 'chosen topic' is? These questions soon became "what the frick am I going to write about?! Get onto it woman!". I have come to the conclusion (after many hours of driving myself a little bit mental and stalking other blogs) that I am going to write about me. Yes, that simple and to some, that boring. I will write to you about my life, my experiences, how I see the world through my eyes, lessons I have learnt, everyday realisations, the people I love and the things I adore. I hope that will be enough to keep you creeping my blog like I'm sure I do yours, or probably your Facebook most likely.

You will be hearing a lot more from me soon, but until then, I bid you adieu, Moce, and 'catch ya later mate'!
