Thanks for watching :)

No Limits update!

No Limits has started! 6.30 pm Monday nights in Australian capital cities.

It is truly a privilege to be a cast member/writer on the show. I have made brilliant friends. I just feel like I fit in with these people. Everytime I see them it's so much fun.

And the messages we put out there are very important. When I see the credits, tears well up - I am so proud to be a part of No Limits.

You can view the website.

And the bio page.

Here is Phin's arm, me, Louis and Elvira on set.

This is a sketch I wrote and acted in. Kate Erin Miller is the other actor. It's based on an actual event.

In the No Limits studio

PS: I am getting lots of sunburn comments and stares now it's summer. My Facebook status was this over the weekend:

To all those fuckers staring at me for looking sunburnt: I'm a TV presenter. And you're not.

A big YAY! I'm a writer!

Just received an official offer as a contracted writer at DiVine. A big YAY!

Back in March, I submitted some writing to DiVine. The editor read it and looked further into my blog and selected a couple of blog entries he thought could be good modified for DiVine. Since then I've written nine articles for them - all of which I'm really proud of. Especially the body image article that has just been published.

It feels so great to be contributing to this website, and making a difference to the disability community (and also educating my friends, family and strangers).

I will still be working my full time job, doing uni until the end of the year, presenting/interviewing on community TV and volunteering at the Children's Hospital, though.

I am going to toot my own horn here - I am so proud of myself for following for my dreams to be a writer and now achieving them.

Also, I think I was far too tired to fully appreciate filming for No Limits on Saturday, but thinking back now, I am really proud of the great job Carrie and I did at the dinner-dance.

Neither of us had been in front of the camera before, and I think we were both in a new environment, but I really feel like we made a difference to the disability community and achieved personal success. It was a great buzz to be directing, interviewing and presenting - challenging yet so much fun!

Wow. I love life!

First filming assignment

Yesterday evening was my first time filming. My first time in front of the camera. Actually, if you count the You Tube video of me with the Rush cast, it was my second time.

While my sketches were postponed again due to bad weather, I was sent on a bit of a reporting job.

I directed, presented and interviewed with the lovely Carrie, my No Limits co-star. Callum and Daniel did a great job as sound and camera guys.

Carrie and I had a lot of fun, and I felt like we were proper journos.

We were at a dinner-dance event for people with disabilities at a town hall. While the event was funded and advertised by the council, planning, decorating and running the event was done by a committee of very talented people with disabilities. This enabled the event not just to be for people with disabilities, but for them to get a say (and develop skills) in how they wanted the event to run. The committee said they felt very valued and included by the council they worked with.

It was so great to chat to the committee on camera - they were very excited! We also danced with and chatted to some of the participants on the dance floor. Carrie and I enjoyed giving the committee members and participants a voice, and they were very appreciative for the opportunity.

Carrie and I spent a lot of time talking to the people we were going to interview on camera before filming began, taking note of names, roles and activities they did leading up to the event.

While I was a bit nervous, feedback from the camera and sound guys, and Carrie, was that I looked and spoke very comfortably in front of the camera. I think my day job as an events planner made me comfortable approaching strangers for a chat, and I did my best in engaging them for the camera.

Here are a few outfit shots from yesterday.

Dress by Temt, jacket by Target, boots by London Rebel, stockings by Myer, necklace by Wiyomu, headband by Diva.

No Limits will air on Channel 31 from December 2010.

Calling for co-stars!

I need some co-stars for my comedy sketches that I am writing and starring in for the No Limits TV show on Channel 31. I am looking for able-bodied males and females.

The sketches will be 10-20 seconds long and are centered around my own chronic illness.

Filming will hopefully be mid August 2010 in Melbourne.

If you are interested, email me for more details.

Thanks!
