Dear Diary :: October 2003

Hello All,

Excuse my tardiness with updating my Diary, the last few months have been a joy ride but a hectic journey at that!

I returned from promoting If You Want Me in the U.K not too long ago now. Wow what an adventure that was. I attended the Top of The Pops birthday bash, had a full on schedule of radio and T.V to promote the single, managed to squeeze in two photo shoots, some studio time to write and record some new material for my up coming album project and went to a few clubs to check out the local scene. I arrived at the airport to a proper London papparattzi greeting; thank god I remembered to brush my hair before I got off the plane. It was a full on flight and I believe I learnt the true meaning of Jet lag at both ends of the trip.

Before heading off to the U.K I shot July's cover story for FHM in a studio in the inner city suburbs with a great photographer Rodney Evans. Now some of you may have noticed that my image had a few changes for this shoot. After being lucky enough to appear in both Ralph and FHM magazines here in oz so many times I thought it was time we pushed the penny a little further and gave you readers something different. We decided on a Rock Chic theme and I hope that those of you who picked up the mag were happy with the results. We had a lot of fun on the shoot and the editor John Bastick dropped in to say hi. We have video footage for our members that we will be posting on the site really soon, just to give you a behind the scenes insight and look at what goes on these shoots, I trust you will get a few laughs and enjoy the footage.

I have been out and about a fair bit this month, I attended the National Blondes Day Breakfast to promote legally Blonde two, and sat with the stunning Fiona Mills and the super talented and equally gorgeous Amity Dry. It was an early start seeing us all picked up in Audi T.T’s at 8am. It was a fun morning and I must confess to having a breakfast Champaign with the girls. A blonde and Bubbly breakfast.

I also attended the re launch of Inside Sport magazine and let me tell you the room was wall to wall with stunning models. Followed by the Guess Watches international Model search where I was again greeted with wall to wall beauties and my favourite female radio host Bianca Dye.

This week I spent a day shooting for Ralph magazine. It was a shoot to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I think this is a fantastic move by Ralph Magazine to support such an important cause. The photographer was Anna Bertalli who has previously shot me for my first appearance in Black and White Magazine. I was joined by Jo Ashton from Big Brother and someone who is a favourite Blonde star of mine Melissa Tkutz. It was strange to think that in high school I watched Melissa on E.Street and adored her and then there we were in front of the camera together, half my luck wedged between these two girls. That night all three of us attended a Ralph Party, which saw Jo make a grand entrance on horseback. I had a great time and met all the latest Big Brother housemates and we exchanged house stories. Big Brother really is such an amazing experience, I had the time of my life when I was in Celebrity Big Brother and it sounds like these guys did to. I adore Reggie and I’m so glad that a chic finally won.

This coming month I will be shooting with Hollywood director Brett Leonard. I scored a role in is latest film which is a Marvel Comics film called “ManThing”. I play the role of Sarah, a young southern gal. As you can imagine I am over the moon about this and can’t wait to hit the set in the next few weeks.

Front magazine in the U.K have me on the cover this month which is a fabulous surprise for me. They decided to run me as a cover after receiving a huge response to my last two features. So a big thanks to all who wrote in with support to the mag.

So what’s next for me? Well I am putting together my album material and looking forward to embarking on the next stages of my music career. I hope that I will be well received in the marvel comic’s film and perhaps some more acting work will flow from that. I am back in Australia till the end of the year and will be working with my favourite photographers on some new shoots. The sky’s the limit I guess, I just keep working hard and I am happy that thanks to the support of you guys I continue to get to do what I love.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended my launch (if You Want Me Michael Woods feat. Imogen Bailey) and birthday party at the Sass and Bentley Bar here in Sydney and thank you to everyone who came to my in store signings at HMV for If You Want Me. Thank you also for your support with the release of the single.

Much Love

Lunch with Imogen

So where does Australia's sexiest model meet for an interview over lunch? On this particular occasion it was a typical sydney pub on oxford street, with a private room so we could chat without interruptions (and without embarassing the old guy at the next table with our sometimes naughty conversations).

We got right down to it with beer and questions (I had the beer, Imogen stuck with the soft stuff) ... the first questions for this section were sent in by fanclub members ... we'd love nothing more than to ask Imogen to lunch every month to get to the juicy details you're really looking for. So if you'd like to ask a question, email us!

Q What were you feeling the first time you did a nude shoot? Were you nervous or confident with the experience?
A I believe that the human form is a wonderful creation. I felt confident , I always follow my heart and my instinct when I decide to do a shoot. Any nudity that I have choosen to do has always been beautiful and tasteful.

Q Tell us about the most embarassing moment you have had while doing a photoshoot ...
A I will give you a recent one, I was in Dubai shooting for M8 Magazine and Schu magazine U.K., I was having my make up done when a gorgeous blonde walked in the room. I assumed she was another model and proceeded to ask her how she felt about us going to the desert and being shot in the heat and wind, whoops she then said she didn’t mind at all as she was infact the photographer.

Q Did your mother ever give you a piece of advice that you've actually used?
A Do whatever it is in life that makes you happy and don’t listen to anybody that is negative about your choices, gravitate towards people that beliveve in you. It’s a piece of advise I follow and it’s very true - positive vibes and encouragement are important to everybody.

Q What do you think makes someone beautiful?
A I can't give you any specifics, if we are speaking aesthetically well it varies from person to person. What I find beautiful may be very different to the person next to me. I am drawn to striking looks, unique looks, features of difference, a perfect example is Nicole Kidman - I find her beautiful for her striking red hair, her milky skin and dainty features. As far as a person being beautiful from within - a good heart, a kind nature and again, it varies from one person to the next.

Q Have you ever dated anyone famous?
A No, I’ll keep you posted.

Q Which of your 'assets' do you think contributed most to being where you are today?
A I found my niche market as a petite model. However it was in fact my brain that was the asset responsible for that find.

Q Which part of a guy's body do you find the sexiest?
A The V ... the V is on each hip, it’s a little dent that can be seen with long slung jeans. A tanned V - now that’s sexy.
