Monday
A few years ago I did Strut the Streets to help raise money for AIME Mentoring, a really worthwhile charity. Little did I know I’d be snapped and used as their pinup girl.

I went to an Appleton Estate Rum dinner at Riley St Garage on Wednesday. The food and company was great but the highlight of my evening was getting to try some of the 50 year old Appleton. Only 800 bottles are available worldwide, 17 in Australia and it retails for over $5k a bottle. It was damn fine liquid.
