Caption : Secret’s out! (And I’m a week behind with technology as per usual because I was floating around in North American volcanic wilderness… sorrrryyy 🌈🌞) I’m so, so insanely privileged to have had a chance to step into the “sluttypants” belonging to young Cheryl West. Thank you to the disgustingly talented and wildly wonderful cast and crew behind ‘Westside’! That set is so unique and special because of every individual member who contributes beyond the confines of their jobs with such passion and kinship. I also know that much of this energy is radiated from the legendary ‘Outrageous Fortune’, and I am so grateful to be a part of this family. Thank you for welcoming me into it, and though I will never be the same version of (the ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! Genuinely obsessed with and so empowered by this woman…) Robyn Malcolm’s “Cheryl”, I did my best to honour her in the time that I had whilst serving the story during Rita’s reign! Hope you enjoy tonight’s shenanigans… we promise lots of Lycra, some bristling oestrogen and, most importantly… pie. Of the fish variety. 8:30pm on @threenewzealand

Caption : Whenever I’m doing press I try to subvert the high glamour focus to one of sustainable creativity. Here’s to the brilliant artisans who have ploughed their fields to locate and create incredible, earth-friendly alternatives! Hair- @liztaw (glorious human! Eco real deal! Superwoman du monde!! 🌳⚡️👊) used her homemade zero waste flax gel, and finished with @randcobleu Optical Illusion smoothing oil and Lifestyler volume and texture spray. Swipe right for the most cringe slo-mo of my liiiife- but with proof that the hair functions normally and not like crunchy mi goreng 👌👌👌 Makeup- beauteous @francescabrazzo used @ereperezcosmetics on skin and cheeks, @rmsbeauty on my eyes and @officialmanasi7 on my lips 💚 Styling- by the sublime @lucywarrenstyle ! Styling fairy and soul soother 💗✨ Dress- (which can be worn 3 ways!) by beauteous @peoplesofallnations who are making steps by working with a family-run, artisanal factory and preventing waste with their “handmade” approach in pattern cutting, reinterpreting stock, as well as creatively reworking leftover fabrics from the industry. ❤️🔥 Shoes- by my DREAM @rey_rey_official . It is SO hard to find truly sustainable shoes so I always end up using vintage. But these folks are legit… ONLY using animal skin that is the bi-product of the food industry, vegetable tanning processes using 💯 carbon free energy production, upcycled fabrics, creatively reusing “waste”, recycled paper shoe boxes, ethically made, woman-owned. It goes on and on. I’m not sponsored by them or anything. Just in love with what they do 🖤 📸 and videos by @francescabrazzo @tristanfewings and @gettyimages . Thank you for capturing 💚💚💚

Caption : I call this: “How I feel about Adani (whilst wearing #nonewthings for sustainability magazine @thefrontlash).” Also y’all don’t click on my photos unless it’s of my face and I have something really important I want you to read! These poignant words by @_sarahwilson_ : “I have spent the past few months interviewing leading climate scientists and psychologists around the world. Things are bad, worse than they predicted, in fact. This is an emergency, and they want us to panic. One scientist said science has done all it can. The only thing that can work now…and every single expert I spoke to said the same… is… ACTIVISM Activism works. Dear friends, don’t doubt this. It’s not the time to doubt ourselves. For, the emergency is NOW. The UN has revised the deadline from 12 years to 17 months from now for EVERY COUNTRY to act. Australia faces “apocalyptic crisis” (EVEN NEWS.COM USED THIS LANGUAGE THIS WEEK) by… January. None of this is not true. BUT… ….here’s where I find hope: * Every solution to the climate crisis already exists. This is an astonishing truth. * We ONLY have to convince governments, business and finance, to enact them. * Governments currently listen to Big Business. * They will listen to ALL OF US if we become convincing enough – if we ALL rally together. So will Big Business…and probably faster. * EVERY time 3.5% of any population has mobilised in activism, the change happened. This is an astonishing truth. * And so ABSOLUTELY, 100 PER CENT if you are worried and want things to change, THIS FRIDAY is THE opportunity. * And ABSOLUTELY, 100 PER CENT your part will count. The opportunity is right there in front of us. How lucky are we that the PERFECT THING has arrived at the most perfect time. Now! It will be BIG. But let’s make sure it WORKS. It could be our last opportunity.” Go to strikewithus.org to find a strike near you!

It was taken at the @australiansinfilm 5th annual awards in LA, and I was so touched to be included in this series of portraits amongst some of my most admired Aussie creatives! Check out Vogue Australia out now to see all the other talented folk featured! Thank you so much, Vogue, for using your platform to support our industry, and to AiF for being such a comforting buttress for those of us transitioning to life in the states! And mega gratitude to Julie Adams alongside her talented team of windblowers and skin perfecters. Thanks for telling me where to put my limbs and which direction to look so I could appear to be an elegant and coordinated, real-life grown up! #definitelyDIDNOTwakeuplikethis…

To protest systemic racism and the deaths of people like George Floyd and David Dungay Jr who both said in their final moments, “I can’t breathe” to police, mask up, keep 1.5m apart and use your voice! I’ll be joining you in spirit ❤️💛🖤 Remember: Black, Indigenous and POC communities are disproportionately affected by the virus so please take ALL precautions so we don’t perpetuate the injustices we’re fighting. Repost from @pedestriantv • Protests in support of George Floyd, #BlackLivesMatter and Indigenous deaths in custody are being organised around the country – here’s where to find them.

Caption : A very merry birthday to my all time gal pal and papa. I don’t have a photo of us right now, but here’s one that you took of me on a mighty special afternoon. Thank you for seeing me in my entirety, for seeing the world through your beautiful and truly unique lens (the world is crazily more enlightened because of it and your unparalleled talent for storytelling) and for teaching me how to do so as well. Thank you for welcoming me into yours and @twirlingwolf ‘s magical family – I love being a part of it more than I will ever be able to articulate! Can’t wait to plait your beard and gossip about (i.e. delve deeply into the psychological depths of) Connor McGregor/Kim Kardashian whilst listening to heavy metal tunez again. Love you loads and miss you hard! Love big sis 🌥xx

Caption : Canines are everything and I challenge you to tell me otherwise. It’s National Adoption Weekend and our commitment is fairly strong. (/neurotic). We drove through the night and set up camp at approx 3:30am as Google said there would be a line but there was not. We couldn’t find any hypoallergenic doggos but I saw my first chinchilla (not a Mexican food). Unclear if they are hypoallergenic but very clear that they are the most superior of fauna our world has to offer. (So pls don’t make them a pet unless they are rescued/unable to survive on the streetz) Here are some “neutral names” for a (rescued) chinchilla as listed by hairy whiskers.com. We haven’t slept for days. We’re seeing canines in the clouds. 49 Neutral Chinchilla names: Sweet Potato Digger Poof Whiskers Nutmeg Susan Dusk Gray Onyx Teddy Bear Nibbles Sunshine Pepper Ash Chilly Piper Farrell Twig Squeak Cedar Carrot Yogurt Mist Zip Brownie Pat Squeak Pika Hershey Apple Pip Odessey Mocha Marble Ghost Peanut Pastry Granite Silver Mosaic Prune Scavenger Bubbles Hershey Royal Chip Happy Pellet Rocky Aztec #ADOPTDONTSHOP #nationaladoptionweekend Note: I don’t endorse large chain pet stores (or the selling of pets commercially at all – rescues only! And do the research because some puppy mills pose as or sell to shelters!) @petsmartcharities were simply hosting the event for national adoption weekend. Thank you also to @kkellsss for pointing out that Petsmart uses industrial dryers to groom pets which has resulted in many animal deaths.

Caption : The “lungs of our earth” are on fire. If our earth can’t breathe, neither can we. Did you know this ecosystem ALONE provides 20% of the oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere & 10% of all known species? It is vital to ALL life on Earth. Swipe right to find out ways you can help… like reducing your consumption of animal products (most of these fires were initially lit to clear land for cattle) or even go plant-based (but check your soy and almond sources)! And support indigenous communities who are at the forefront of this fight (they’re fighting for ALL of us! See tags below)… Know that your voices & actions really do matter – on both an individual & political scale 💚 @guajajarasonia @coiabamazonia @amazonwatch @amazonconservationteam @amazonfrontlines @greenpeacebrasil @ConservationOrg #PeopleNeedNature Excerpts from an array of literature on the matter… (not my words!) Wildfires often occur in the dry season in Brazil, but this year has been worse than normal. Fires are deliberately started in efforts to illegally deforest land for cattle ranching. 72,000 fires have been detected between January and August & more than 9,500 forest fires since Thursday, mostly in the Amazon region. In comparison, there were fewer than 40,000 in the whole of 2018. So the two scariest numbers for understanding the fires are this: There are 80 percent more fires this year than there were last summer, according to the Brazilian government. This surge in burning has accompanied a spike in deforestation. More than 1,330 square miles of the Amazon rainforest have been lost since January, a 39% increase over the same period last year, according to The New York Times. Why are these figures so important? Because Brazil’s political leadership has changed in the past year. On January 1, Jair Bolsonaro, a far-right populist who has openly pined for his country’s authoritarian past, was sworn in as president. During his campaign, he promised to weaken the Amazon’s environmental protections—which have been effective at reducing deforestation for the past two decades—and open up the rainforest to economic development.
