Well, WE won a Logie, but it sounds more amazing when I say I won a Logie – and why not? Ha!
What a crazy few days I’ve had! But I want to start with a huge thank you to Helen Manuell who made our gorgeous dresses. I have never felt so special in all my life.
I have a thousand photos from the day/night. I know this post will be photo heavy!
Here is my red carpet fun! My eyes were darting all over. I told Josh and Jenna I could not talk to them because I couldn’t concentrate on a thing they were saying. There was waaaaay too much to look at! I was supposed to be looking all gracious, but I spent most of the time squealing and pointing. The Block’s producer Julian Cress was following me with his camera because I was entertaining him with my antics. Josh said “this is so much more enjoyable with you Katrina because you keep getting hysterical and it’s funny!” Waz kept asking me if I needed a paper bag.
This is what happened when I spotted Delta Goodrem!
I have never seen Rod move so fast. He turned around to see me with Delta and he bolted to be in that shot!
The girls.
The view from the top at the very end of the red carpet before we went into the Palladium.
The table.
The event card!
Jen Hawkins. Do I look slightly excited? Ummm and how tall is she? She’s talking with Claire from Woman’s Day and Jen looks like a giant! Well she is a giant! And gorgeous – like really really gorgeous.
One Direction!
So I was squeezing through some chairs and rubbed my bum against someone… I turned and apologised and realised it was One Direction. I then grabbed my camera and managed to get this (below). It wasn’t easy! There was security everywhere. There were big guys crouching on the ground all around them and I had to ask them could I take this. It was only that Zayn (I had to google to find out what this little fella’s name was!) said to his security that he was ok to take this shot. Please don’t hate me all you young girls. And yes, they are adorable and so cute and fresh!
There they are performing. They were good too.
This is me dancing to One Direction.
Here we are! You’ll have to buy TV Week next week to see our shots all together. I can’t believe we won.
Who would have thought hey. 12 months ago my life was totally different. I am so grateful.
PS. We’re not knuckle-heads and I know there are new contestants now and I can’t wait to see them in action, but it was the 8 contestants from 2011 who have set the bar. Life is what you make it. Everyone starts with nothing…
I had a ball and would do it all again in a heartbeat.
