Julianne made her acting debut as the fiery and sassy Ariel in the 2011 remake of FootLoose.

Her natural talent for acting was obvious with her amazing honest performance. She followed this with her performance in Rock of Ages as Sherrie Christian. In 2011 she was awarded the Rising Star of 2011.

GLAMOUR GAL: Morgan Pelt

Morgan Pelt 

GLAMOUR GAL Autumn 2013

This season sassy Glamour Gal is Morgan Pelt. In our exclusive interview Morgan she  discusses her skincare brand Minerva and why being an animal advocate is so important to her. 

Congratulations Morgan you're our Autumn 2013 Glamour Gal. What makes you feel most glamorous? 
Morgan: For me, feeling glamorous is as much as looking great, as it is to be happy and full of confidence. Life can be crazy so for me it’s important to do at least one thing I find luxurious each day which instantaneously makes me feel a little more glamorous.


Can you please share with our readers more about your brand Minerva skincare? 
Morgan: I created Minerva Skin Care in early 2012, as I was shocked at all the toxic chemicals that were going into my skin each day. Many of those chemicals were harmful carcinogens and endocrine (hormone) disruptors. All Minerva products are handmade with the highest quality natural and organic ingredients making them a truly luxurious treat for your skin. I currently sell them at some markets around Brisbane. (website coming soon.)

If you could share one beauty secret with us - what would it be? 
Morgan: Other than using products that are free of toxic chemicals there is always one product that seems to skip nearly every woman’s daily skin care routine – Sunscreen. Many products claim to have an SPF in them but it’s such a small portion that more often than not they are completely inadequate against UVA and UVB rays. Sun damage is the number one extrinsic factor of premature ageing so prevention is key. Applying a thin layer over your face and décolletage everyday can greatly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the long run.  

I personally use ‘John Masters Organics Natural Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30’ under my makeup each day then wait a couple of minutes before I put on my primer and foundation.

What type of exercise motivates you the most?  
Morgan: Most often I am exercising with a friend. It’s a great way to work out as you can motivate and keep each other accountable. I’m a fan of running as it’s great for leaning out and clearing the mind.

Morgan is a wildlife conservationist, it's her life's passion. She cares so deeply about our planet and animal protection, Morgan enjoys being an inspirational animal advocate. 

We know that animals mean so much to you. Can you explain more about your work being an animal advocate.
Morgan:  My life passion is wildlife conservation and being a voice for the environment. Growing up in the Whitsundays with 74 islands and the Great Barrier Reef as my playground I was constantly surrounded by the beauty of nature and learnt to appreciate it from a very young age.

After volunteering with the RSPCA helping with the rehabilitation of the black tags (cruelty cases) I wanted to get more involved with raising awareness of the plight of the environment and wildlife around the world. This led me to travel to South Africa through the African Conservation Experience and volunteering at the world renowned Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Mpumalanga. Seeing first hand the problems that the environment currently faces and hand raising one of the few baby black rhinos left in the world was an incredible privilege. Opportunities like this are available to everyone so if you are interested look at the great range of independent projects at the African Conservation Experience.    

Finally do you have a life motto or quote that best describes you? 

 “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ H. Jackson Brown Jnr 

Morgan: This is my all time favourite quote. It inspires me to take chances and seize the day, but most of all it reminds me of how great life is and to relish in the opportunities that are available to me as a young woman.

We hope this interview inspired you and gave you an insight into Morgan's world. Follow Morgan's inspiring life journey online via instagram and twitter.

ECO ANGEL: Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson 

ECO ANGEL November 2012

When you think of a celebrity vegan and animal rights ambassador, it's likely that Pamela Anderson is the first person that comes to mind. She maybe most famous for her Baywatch days and numerous Playboy magazine covers, but these days it's being a down to earth mother of two boys that really counts. 

Did you know Pamela has actually appeared on the cover of Playboy more times than anyone else - her first cover was back in 1989! This sassy 45 year old is uses her fame to make a positive change as one of the world's leading animal-rights ambassadors. Pamela's inner beauty, her vegan lifestyle and endless devotion to animal-rights makes truly beautiful. 

This former Baywatch babe uses her sultry sex appeal to grab your attention in her various PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) campaigns. Her most popular PETA ad promotes Vegetarianism. Pamela became a vegetarian in her early teen and says "Eating vegetarian helps me stay slim and healthy, and it gives me the energy to keep up with my kids, work and travel."   ~ Pamela 

As an adult she became a Vegan and in 2010 Pamela launched her Millions of Milkshakes Vegan Shake made with vegan ice cream, pineapple, coconut and banana. (Yum!) 

 

In 2003 Pamela participated in PETA's anti fur campaign being one of the first celebrities to appear in their famous "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" advertising campaign. 

"It's terrible because people see stars like JLo and Beyonce wearing fur and they don't think about the cruelty that goes into it." ~ Pamela 

Pamela joined forces with PETA once again in 2006 to campaign against Canada's annual seal slaughter. This Canadian born blonde posed in a "Save the Seals" t-shirt for PETA's advertising campaign to help bring awareness to this shameful slaughter. 

Ms Anderson partnered with M.A.C Cosmetics becoming an official spokeswomen in 2005 for their MAC Aids Fund. Appearing in their Viva Glam campaign with 100% of the proceeds going to help people affected by HIV and AIDS. 

Most recently she appeared once again as a contestant on America's Dancing with the Stars. She also appeared on Big Brother including three days in the Australian Big Brother house back in 2008.  And who could forget those sexy "V.I.P" days as glamorous Vallery Irons. She began her TV days as the sexy Tool Time chick on Home Improvement. 

From Playboy centrefold to Vegan to PETA Ambassador to yummy mummy. Pamela's most devoted role is Motherhood and being a positive role model for her two boys. 

Whether she is protesting with PETA, gracing the cover of a magazine or encourage us to support one of her worthwhile causes, Pamela Anderson is a positive, caring Eco Angel. We love her sexy and sassy approach to life!
