It's Raining Men


Joel & his Great Gastby look
The Sydney Opera House-splendid in the sunshine, gloomy in the rain. It bucketed down tonight at GQ’s Men Of The Year Awards.  We didn’t let that stop us attending yet another red carpet shindig where nice statuettes are handed out at another excuse for a celebrity turn out.

Maybe not quite as celeb heavy as the UK awards in October with Johnny Depp, Keith Richard, Duran Duran and Bradley Cooper, or the LA awards with winner Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, and Michael Fassbender.
We did have Jack Thompson, Alex O’Loughlin, Rachel Taylor and this year’s Man Of The Year-Joel Edgerton who is currently filming in Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby (in glorious 3D) around Sydney.

Speaking of which-I wish Baz would choose his dates better when filming around Centennial Park (which is standing in for Long Island in the movie). Last Saturday, trying to get to Paspaley Pearl’s Polo In the Park was a nightmare with streets blocked off and hundreds of sightseers hoping to glimpse Leo DiCaprio (he was only there on Thursday but you can catch him bike riding through Centennial Park in the afternoons. But not in 3D)

Age & Beauty

Anthony Minichielo, Terri Biviano, Yasmin Le Bon
Gail & Yasmin


They've been friends for years so supermodel Yasmin Le Bon jumped at the chance to model for her good pal Gail Elliott in her Little Joe range yesterday at the Sydney Fashion Week.
Le Bon, who is married to Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran and Elliott have been friends from years of working in the international fashion world. Yasmin who is 48 doesn't look a day over 30 and with 3 children she's a shining example of a working mum.

Elliott started her label in 2002 in New York and it's a runaway success. Having moved back to Sydney she produces her clothes locally and sells throughout Europe and the USA.
A bunch of pals joined Gail and Yasmin for a celebatory lunch after the parade at the Sake Restaurant in The Rocks
