So I’m in makeup getting turned into an Avon Lady to shoot my big two word scene for Stefan Elliot’s Swinging Safari. You know my line. The whole country knows my line. “Avon Calling”. I’ve been learning it all week. Imagine if I stuff it up! I can tell you it’s bloody depressing being turned into a frumpy door-to-door saleswoman when you’re seated beside the glamorous Asher Keddie.
I mean, she got flicks. And a sexy little jumpsuit. I have a zip-up blue uniform. I get the feeling Keddie won’t be swinging with the Avon lady no matter how liberated her character is. We’re both mums. We’re talking about our kids. Asher is interested that I live in Byron Bay because she wants to bring her kids there for a holiday. “Is it safe?” she asks, referring to our recent spate of shark attacks.

I almost wished I’d been born in the 70’s for a second there....
Nostalgia time. I was a 70's mum and I can remember those carefree days when we actually had fun and our kids had fun and they learned resilience and self esteem.
My three adult kids still talk about their great childhood, the BBQ's, holidays at the beach in little holiday houses, (no big flash apartments), and the same families met up every year and the kids had a ball and so did the parents. Happy Days.
(They never had to light my ciggies because I didn't smoke)
