HN: Hi there! I'm Harriet (Hattie for short). I am a content creator, style blogger and a cruelty-free and vegan beauty blogger from Brisbane whose aesthetic is about eclectic fashion, ready to wear thrifted gems, fun, colour and statement pieces. I pair thrifted, vintage, handmade, slow fashion labels and consignment items in unique ways and pair prints and colours together, but it doesn’t stop there. I have a unique style that sets me apart from the crowd, and as a QUT marketing and fashion communications student, I am eager to succeed in the Australian fashion and beauty industry. I am obsessed about all things colourful and fun.

TW: Well, my full name is Tahlee Jade Woodland. I combined 2 parts of my name to form my label Jadewood Design. I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer. Obsessively creative I am all about the detail, designing and handcrafting bold statement earrings, wall art, and other accessories. I have a colourful aesthetic and an experimental approach to design I am currently part of an artist collective in Maroochydore. As an ambassador for ethical fashion, I create limited numbers and one-off pieces out of new, vintage, and repurposed materials. Currently, I am using my skills to curate a collection of other Australian artisan goods to sell in the storefront at Club Creative and to run creative workshops from my studio there.

“PS: Hi! I’m Pearly Tasker and I’m 30 years old. I’m a professional cake decorator and you may have seen me on Zumbo’s Just Desserts S2. I like to go by my moniker Pearly Sprinkles – She’s my badass alter-ego who bakes and kicks anxiety’s butt. I’m also an advocate for raising awareness on mental health because I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)”

“AA: Thanks Suzanne! Well, a bit about me...I wear a few hats, to say the least! I am an Internationally published model, I am a social influencer on Instagram and Tik Tok, I am Director of Brisbane Fashion and I work professionally within the marketing and design space for the last 15 years!“

“HH: I’m Vietnamese Australian, or Australian Vietnamese if you prefer, a mother and a business woman. By profession I’m a Registered Migration Agent and an Education Counsellor. I started my business V Education in 2015 providing education & migration consulting services to international clients who want to study and/or migrate to Australia. I was appointed as a Brisbane International Student Ambassador in 2011 & 2012 too.

In my younger years I used to work as an MC in Vietnam and once the winner of Miss Tourism (Miss Ethnic Vietnam 2011). I also love blogging but so far I can only do it occasionally once in a while when I have time.”

“SD: Can you tell us a little about your art and your background?*

YG: My art is about awareness… I create my abstract eyeballs which I wear on my head as a headband and I also add these eyeballs to all my art works.
Awareness I believe is the most important thing we can do to progress in life. Being aware of ourselves and our surrounds at all times. Being aware at all times is living in the present moment and having control of your mind for a stronger mind… mental toughness. This is something we all have to do on a daily basis in order to live a happy and fulfilled life. If we focus of hardening our minds and control our minds we will live a better life, overcome depression through hard work and doing what we are supposed to do not what we always want to do”

SD: Hi Daniel. Can you please introduce yourself to my readers who don’t know you yet?

DL: I am an artist. I live my life as an artwork.... I think Google has a better introduction then I could give.

“SD: Can you tell us about the process of making your work?

DL: There's no particular process when it comes to working. it would depend if I was making a couture gown for someone else for a costume for the stage. My own artwork for myself is very different to how I work when working on an idea for someone else.”

“BM: Firstly, I just wanted to say thank you so much, Suzanne, for this opportunity, it means a lot to me. I'm a Screenwriter and Actor based in Brisbane.”

“MF: Sure thing! My name is Michelle Fleur and I’m an artist and illustrator, oh and I am madly and deeply in love with whales! I work from my cosy home studio in The Gap with my fuzzy little feline buddy, Frankie, by my side.”

“MI: I am a racing fashion blogger from the Gold Coast. I have been entering Fashions on the Field (FOTF) competitions for 9 years now. I write about all things racing fashion related on my blog www.milanoimai.com. Aside from entering FOTF competitions I have also judged numerous competitions nationally and internationally.”

“LC: Sure. I’m Laura Churchill, I’m a fashion event producer here in Brisbane and I have a couple of large projects I run each year. I’m director of Brisbane Fashion Month, an annual fashion festival each October, and producer of the Ekka Natural Fibres Fashion Parades. I also work as a stylist across some retail and commercial clients and for Channel Seven and have a few other arms to my company. I’ve run my own fashion company for almost 10 years now.”

ML: At the first time, I thought blogging was another form of a diary.

For me it was like a collection of thoughts about anything that my heart desired to share for the world to see. I had no expectations on my blog when I first started but all I aimed for was this space that could be a place where I could inspire people through the content that I shared to the online community. It is simply how I deliver my value as a woman in this modern era. Women should be able to cook, look after their family, keep working hard on achieving their dreams and even be able to pamper themselves, while always being the best version of themselves. I also hope I could share some information to my readers about things that are related to my passion in beauty and fashion.
