Innholdsfortegnelse for September 2016 i Girlfriend Australia

One rainy afternoon this month the GF team were trying to determine which house we would all be in if we went to Hogwarts (yes, this is a legitimate thing that happened). I was sorted into Ravenclaw so yeah, 10 points tothe Girlfriend teamfor not putting me in Slytherin. It was a stressful process because I take my Harry Potter fangirling very seriously and I’d like to think I’m more Padma Patil than Pansy Parkinson (shoutout to the Potterheads, you know the difference). That’s what this issue is about – being a fan of something. It can be anything, as long as it makes your heart beat a little faster. Maybe your fandom has heeeaps of Reddit forums dedicated to it (hello Divergent)or you see them as a kind of…

Everyone from Ashton to Zendaya’s on the socials these days, so their superfans can reach out to each other, and to their idols, around the clock. So how exactly did fandoms work in the days before the internet (can you even imagine living in a world where you can’t bid on half-eaten 1D toast on eBay)? We took a history lesson to find out just who were the original Beliebers, Swifties and Arianators… BEATLEMANIA THE 1960s Before we had Harry, Louis, Niall and Liam, there was John, Paul, George and Ringo of The Beatles. The fan frenzy in the early days of the group’s success was a worldwide phenomenon. In a similar vein to how fans chat over Twitter today, ‘Beatlemanics’ would sign up for the Fab Four’s Official Fan…

“I SNOWBOARD PROFESSIONALLY AND I STUDY!” “I ENTERED HEAPS OF COMPETITIONS – SOME OF THEM EVEN LED TO TRIPS OVERSEAS!" “Ifirst picked up a snowboard when I was six years old, during a family holiday to Falls Creek [Victoria]. I was SO excited, I’d been waiting until I was old enough to start lessons for what felt like YEARS. Because I’d done a bit of skateboarding, I picked it up pretty quickly.My sisters are skiers which helped, but I still fell over a lot! Every holidays we’d hit up the snow with the family and eventually, when I was 13, I decided to get a little more serious about my boarding. I competed in school events and enrolled in a freestyle program at Falls Creek and one at Mount…

FACT: Since I’m big-lipped and a fan of eating, lipstick and I are not really friends. I’ll do a red lip for a spesh occasion, but as soon as dinner arrives, I wipe it off and I never remember to reapply. But when I put on a statement red that I picked up from the inaugural GF Best of Beauty Awards, and my colleague Lucy challenged me to try a new lipstick every day for a week to see if it would change my life, I said “game on”. DAY 1 RED-Y OR NOT THE LIPSTICK: Klara Cosmetics Kiss Proof Lips in Flaming Red. THE FEELS: I see why in times of recession sales of red lippie go up – this lipstick made me feel ~great~, like I was wearing…

Ever caught a whiff of bae and been able to tell what mood they were in? It might seem crazy, but it’s actually not as far-fetched as it sounds. In fact, according to recent studies humans can pick up on emotions like fear, happiness and disgust through our sense of smell. Apparently when we sweat we release chemical signals that change depending on how we feel at any given time. When two people are in a relationship they become familiar with each other’s personal scent and are more likely to be able to detect their partner’s subtle emotional cues. Makes perfect scents, don’t you think?!…

Q Hi Angus! So I’ve got a super confusing sitch I’m hoping you can help me with. My crush and I have been friends for years and he’s good mates with my older brother. It’s pretty obvious he likes me but I’m worried if anything were to happen my brother would get really mad at both of us. How do you think I should make a move without ruining things with my bro? Elizabeth xoxo A Hey Liz, “confusing sitch” indeed! While I’m always of the opinion there’s a million fish in the sea, we can’t control who we’re attracted to. Let me start by saying there’s a chance there may not be a happy ending here, mainly if your brother has any issues with your feelings for his friend.…

WHAT YOUTUBE VIDEO ALWAYS MAKES YOU LAUGH? Probably FailArmy’s videos. There’s something funny about people screwing up. Jaxon Cat videos, every time. Sam Anything by the Game Grumps. Patrick That’s a tough one, but probably the one of that baby panda sneezing from ages ago! Josh WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU UNFOLLOW SOMEONE ON INSTA? If they started posting distasteful images. Jaxon Spamming my feed with photos that I didn’t like or that didn’t interest me. Sam If it was just a random I had followed, probs too many food pictures or other uninteresting stuff. Patrick Posting like 12 times a day about random, boring things like a loaf of bread. Josh WOULD YOU GET CREEPED OUT IF A GIRL LIKED A PIC YOU POSTED AGES AGO? (LIKE 50 WEEKS DEEP…

VIRGO VIRGO September promises new beginnings. Your mission for the month is to be 100 per cent yourself and not mask the true you.

“I USED TO INTERN AT GIRLFRIEND WHEN I WAS 16!” if there’s anyone we fangirl over on the reg at GF, it’s Sarah Ellen. Since appearing on our February 2016 “YouTube Royalty” cover, this home-grown superstar has taken the leap from influencer to actress (no biggie, she just plays KYLIE MINOGUE’S DAUGHTER on Neighbours) and lit up the international fashion scene (no biggie, she just HANGS WITH OLIVIA PALERMO IN PARIS). Pretty epic for a girl who started out uploading funny vids on the ’Tube. Girlfriend editor Tamara caught up with Sarah between shoots to talk about making the move to LA, her best advice for slaying your socials, and what really happened when Justin Bieber hit up her DMs… Tamara: Hi Sarah! Where in the world are you…

WHERE’S YOUR HEAD AT? Head line WHERE? This is the line that stretches diagonally across your palm, starting from the area between your thumb and index finger. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Short line: When it comes to making decisions, your motto is: ‘Ain’t nobody got time for that!’ – you’d rather get straight to the point. Long, straight line: You have a tendency to overthink things a bit, you could do with turning on the chill factor just a little. Split in two: You must be a pretty good friend, coz you’re super sensitive to others, and you like to look at things from other peeps’ perspectives. Long, curved line (heading towards the bottom corner of your palm): You’re quite the creative type who tends to think of a bunch…

“ALTHOUGH MY JOB IS FUN, IT'S ALWAYS HARD SEEING ANIMALS WHO HAVE BEEN MISTREATED." “It’s pretty safe to say that I’m a HUGE animal lover!I’ve had pets my whole life – dogs, cats and guinea pigs! A couple of years ago my family moved from Melbourne to a more rural area, which meant I could get chickens and horses too. Ever since I can remember I’ve wanted to volunteer at the RSPCA (a refuge for cats and dogs without homes). You have to be 15, so for years I was counting down the days until I was old enough. On my 15th birthday I got my resume together and walked down the road to hand it in. My place is on the edge of town, right near the RSPCA, so…

add up the cost of some chic workout wear, an acai bowl and a personal trainer and you’re probs like, “Hell no, I only earn $11 an hour”. But it’s def possible to get fit and healthy, even if your budget’s more op shop* than runway… YOU CAN MAKE IT DIY your own weights: Use cleaned out 2L or 1L plastic milk bottles filled with rice or water. Works just like a dumbbell – you can even do those reps in front of the TV. Don’t have rice or water (eek!)?

Confession: I have a LOT of beauty products. As in overflowing cupboards, drawers, makeup bags and everywhere. It’s got a little to do with my job (#beautyedlife), a LOT to do with my love of skincare stuffs (*mmm toner*) and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that I tend to try a blob of this, a pump of that and then a slick of this and a swipe of that. Yep, basically I’m a serial tube-half-full girl. As in quite literally all the tubes of all the different beauty prods on my top, bottom and everything shelf are half full (or half empty, depending on the mood I’m in). I have friends that swear by the one brand, or even the one product. Every time they hit up Priceline Pharmacy…

What have you been up to since appearing on The X Factor? So much has been happening since then. I got to film music videos in Thailand and LA, I did some modelling, worked with AwesomenessTV on some really cool covers on YouTube, and met a bunch of fans from across the globe! What made you want to go solo from What About Tonight? Two of the other boys left a few weeks before me and I decided to follow, and make my own music as well. It was a sad moment for me because we had so much on the way and I believed in us. I decided it was also my time to part ways and believe in myself a little more, I’m excited for what’s to come.…

She’s got a rad sound. “My musical influences come from two different eras. My parents were children of the ’70s and would always put on Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell and Simon & Garfunkel. My mum would tell me all the stories behind the songs – I feel like that seeped into my brain from a young age, so it’s super important for me to write everything and for my songs to come from my own experiences. At the same time, I was a child of the ’90s and I had lots of exposure to all this ‘in your face’ pop, artists like the Spice Girls and Britney Spears, who I was equally inspired by. With my music I mix those two styles together! I write everything – but I also…

throughout my 20-something years on this planet, I’ve gone through various fandoms – some, admittedly, more awks than others. Luckily for me this was just before the social media explosion, where my obsessions for whatever band/TV show I was fangirling over at the time would have undoubtedly been plastered across my Tumblr, Instagram and Facebook for everyone to find (and remind me of years later when it was totally uncool). However, my fixations du jour were limited to walls adorned with postersI’d pulled from Girlfriend, or pics I’d haphazardly printed off the net to stick to my English workbook. Let’s take a look at some of my throwback celeb obsessions… THE SIMPLE LIFE Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s fish-out-of-water reality series was totally my jam back in the early 2000s.…

Winter is NOT coming (YAAAS), which means catching up with your fun, warmer weather beauty tricks after months of makeup hibernation. We’ve been talking about illuminators since forever, lighting up our cheekbones, cupid’s bow, nose and brow bones erryday. But this spring we’ll be mixing them with our foundations for a deeper, all-over glow!…

MASCARA AND A STATEMENT LIPSTICK Nothing says effortless ‘I woke up like this’ glam like a swipe of mascara, a bold lip and a pretty party dress, which is probably why our makeup bags have been shipping this duo since forever. Deep reds, bright berries and 2016-approved borderline black glosses generally favour a slick of mascara over smoky, bright and glittery lids; eye dramz + lip dramz = too many dramz. FOUNDATION AND PRIMER We’re all about that base, but we’re also all about that base’s base! If you want your foundation/tinted moisturiser/ BB cream to love you long time, setting it up with a primer (#couplegoals) is ALWAYS a good idea. Adding a layer between your skin and coverage not only hydrates, strengthens and ups your complexion’s dewy factor,…

Yep, this babe is doing her own thing – and we love her for it.…
