I am a writer, author, blogger, social commentator and journalist. I also Twitter compulsively here.
And a little bit on Facebook here

In a former life, I was a magazine editor.
You can read about that here. And here are a couple of interviews I’ve done about my mag years…

I write a weekly column for Sunday Life magazine which is inserted into the Sun-Herald and Sunday Age. You can read those columns here.

For about five minutes I was a TV executive.
That didn’t work out.
You can read about that in my book (which is in bookstores or you can buy it here) or hear me speak about it a little bit here…..

My Devil-Wears-Prada moment: I once sent a work experience girl out to buy my son a banana. Allegedly. It was scandalous. Allegedly. You can read about that here and here.

I am married with three kids aged 1-11.
We have a dog and two ducks.

I am a passionate advocate for Body Image and I never tire of banging on about the need for media to be more diverse and realistic in their portrayal of women. I chair the National Body Image Advisory Group which advises the federal government on this subject. You can read about thathere.

I have written two books. One is a collection of my columns called The New Black which was published in 2005.

The other is called Mamamia: A Memoir Of Mistakes, Magazines & Motherhood. You can order it online here or find it in a book store. What’s it about, you ask? I did a radio interview with Richard Fidler for The Conversations which you can listen to here which really covers it in depth.

Well, I have done many posts about it which you can see here and I’ve also done a few interviews about it including this one….
