Glass Slipper Ball
Had the most special time hosting and performing at Glass Slipper Ball at Esplanade Hotel Fremantle (Perth) to raise funds for the Children’s Leukaemia and Cancer Research Foundation.
Thanks to everyone who donated, more than $20,000 was raised – what a result!
Extra special thanks to Kasey Carr for producing an event that was not only excellent, but had so much heart. I couldn’t be more grateful and proud to be part of it.

Rarotonga Adventure
I recently spent a week in Rarotonga with some of my best friends, to do a show and also celebrate my friend, Vince Harder’s, bucks week.
Having never been to Raro before, I had no idea what to expect at all. Little did I know this trip would go down as one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had.
Huge thanks to all our sponsors for making it happen and for taking such good care of us. Here’s some pics and a highlight video below, courtesy of Varo Media…
Our Rarotonga arrival had us greeted by some beautiful local people & cruising across the island aboard this party bus. You just knew the week ahead was about to be unforgettable.
Chatting to Pacific TV about our upcoming show before boarding a Koka Lagoon Cruise with all the boys.
Raro chill with some of the boys.
Snorkeling is my new favorite thing. Physically relaxing, visually stunning…
Arriving at Muri Beach with the crew. Absolute paradise…
At the coconut opening show, was awesome. This dude’s the man. Make sure you check out a Koka Lagoon Cruise if you’re ever in Rarotonga.
With some of the Reefside Rarotonga crew in Rarotonga. These guys are so cool & helped make our stay extra amazing. Thanks to Sharon for the pic.
Stelfie (aka stage selfie) with the two best background vocalists a guy coulda hoped for, my Jireh brothers Turanga & Nate. Thank you for absolutely killing it & adding so much to my set, love you boys.
So cool meeting the mantis, Temuera Morrison, at the show. Really appreciate the kind words sir & have great respect for your work.
Battle Tag on our bro Vince’s big stag day. Fun as!
Deep-sea fishing trip with Akura Fishing Charters. Such a good hang with the bros out on the ocean…
Everything about the food, set-up & ambience epitomised “on point”, but beyond that us boys had the best time celebrating with our brother.
View from my room at Edgewater Resort & Spa. Wowsers. Absolutely stunning…
Take me back…

Being a massive childhood fan of the franchise, I had so much fun attending the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premiere at Fox Studios in Sydney recently.

VOGUE Fashion’s Night Out
TONI & GUY got the party started for VOGUE Fashion’s Night Out in Sydney earlier this month.
A vintage, red London Double Decker Bus was set up in Martin Place – the lower level decked out like a salon where people got their hair styled and the top deck reserved for people to enjoy a complimentary Bondi Road spritzer.
As brand ambassador, I greeted people and took pics with them in the TONI & GUY photo booth. The rain didn’t keep too many people away either! It was a great night all round and had a lot of fun. A few snaps from the night…
Such a good crew on deck. Worked hard to get the word out.
With The Face Australia’s Yaya Deng.
A pleasure meeting the lovely Anna Heinrich.
Bit of an X-Factor sandwich :p. YMS, Angel Tairua of Trill and Nada-Lee Nassar of XOX.

Eight Weeks Off Sugar
So I recently did the I Quit Sugar 8-Week Program. Not gonna lie, it wasn’t easy. But the benefits far outweighed the struggle.
Watch my video, where I talk about the experience and my overall thoughts on the white stuff.
Thanks for having me, Sarah Wilson.

I guess Dannii Minogue & team having me chop the fro off on The X-Factor wasn’t so bad after all! :p

Keep Being YOU
Don’t let the haters discourage you.
Naysayers have been around since the beginning and will continue to be around. You know, when anyone ever has an issue with you shining, it’s always a reflection of their own insecurities.
Basically, it means you’re doing an awesome job of being everything you were created to be!
Never dim down your light or shrink back to please people. Keep being you.

Benefiting From Revisiting
A lot of people don’t know, but back in the day I was pretty handy with a pencil and paper. I loved to draw.
As a kid I would design things – people, weapons, houses, whatever. As a teenager I went to a short-course in animation, and even contributed art to my high school’s monthly comic book. Then, for whatever reason, I just stopped.
And I’m not sure that it’s because I’m under the weather right now and around the house, but today was the first time in what feels like several lifetimes that I decided, “I’m gonna draw something…”.
So I dug the sketch pad that my baby brother, Andre, bought me out of hiding, and – not even knowing where to start – I just started drawing. And it felt good. Pretty rusty, but still got it.
Funny how revisiting a creative part of yourself like that can be almost therapeutic. Pretty cool. Think I might just have to start doing it some more.

Pinctada Cable Beach Polo 2014
Last weekend I had the pleasure & privliedge of performing at the Pinctada Cable Beach Polo 2014.
From the ace opening night, to heading out on the Paspaley IV mother ship, to performing at the Polo, to Dinner Under The Stars on Cable Beach, man… I was constantly pinching myself. Honestly felt like I wasn’t even in Australia.
Special thanks to Marilynne for having me out there & making me feel like a king, I absolutely loved it.
Some video/pic highlights…
With the lovely Samantha Harris on opening night.
Office for the past few days. Not mad at it.
An education on pearls & tasting pearl meat for the first time. Awesome.
Upstairs aboard the Paspaley IV mother ship, the chef hooked up this killer spread for us. Wowsers. Hungry anyone?
Saturday attire. Wearing Nana Judy.
With this crazy cat, our resident celebrity DJ for the weekend, Daimon Downey. South Africans represent!
After an ace first day of Cable Beach Polo, I had the privilege of being one of 160 guests invited to attend the Dinner Under The Stars, set on Cable Beach, just metres from the water.
Guest chef, C. Barklay Dodge, flew in from Aspen (Colorado) to create an incredible 5-course menu that was nothing short of world-class. Wowsers.
I’ve been blessed to travel the world & experience a lot of great things, but nothing quite like last night. Exquisite.
One of my favorite moments of the past few days. These kids right here worked so hard, volunteering their time & cleaning up after the polo horses in the heat. I wanted to do something fun for these little unsung heroes, so I had them join me on stage spur-of-moment for my last song. I literally choreographed them live, during the the actual performance & they absolutely smashed it! So good. The experience made their day, which makes me so happy. It’s a small thing, but yet another reminder (for myself more than anyone) that when you just step out & take risks – especially when it involves lifting up others – you can’t go wrong. – Photo by Yane Sotiroski
Congrats to the GPG Group team of Paul Webb, Ross Ainsley & Sam Hopkinson for taking home honors & the Paspaley International Cup! – Photo by Yane Sotiroski
