WONDER WOMAN: Gal Gadot

Gal Gadot 

WONDER WOMAN 

Our August cover girl is Wonder Woman herself Gal Gadot. In this cover story we delve into the life of a female Superhero, being a role model for her daughter and how she got her big break in Hollywood. 

Gal Gadot was born in Israel in 1985 and by the age of 18 she was crowned Miss Israel. As a beauty queen she competed in the 2004 Miss Universe pageant - the same year Aussie Angel Jennifer Hawkins was crowned as the winner.  

Gal means "wave" in Hebrew and her life has been quite a roller coaster! From model to Miss Universe, military to motherhood, actress to action hero. Gadot is strong, sassy and stunning! 

Throughout her career as a model Gal appeared in campaigns for Gucci fragrances, Erroca eyewear, Jaguar cars and Italian fashion brand Miss Sixty.

Gadot made her feature film debut in the 2009 action flick Fast & Furious as the badass Gisele Yashar. Her time in the military before modelling combined with her weapons knowledge helped Gadot land her breakout role as Gisele.

Gal: "I think the main reason was that the director Justin Lin really like that I was in the military and he wanted to use my knowledge of weapons." 

The exotic beauty went onto star in two additional films from the fast saga; Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6.  She performed her own stunts in all three Fast films and even owns her own 2006 Black Ducati motorbike.  

Gal Gadot as Gisele in Fast Five

Gal: "There aren't enough good roles for strong women. I wish we had more female writers Most of the female characters you see in films today are "the poor heartbroken girl". That's why I am so proud of the Fast movies. I feel like Gisele is an empowering woman."

Gal really shot to fame when she was cast as the iconic DC Comics character Wonder Woman. She first appear in the role last year in the film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. 

Gal: "You know Wonder Woman; she's amazing. I love everything that she represents and everything that she stands for. She's all about love and compassion and truth and justice and equality, and she's a whole lot of woman. For me, it was important that people can relate to her. In this movie you get a glimpse of who Wonder Woman is - she's being introduced into this DC Comics universe." 

"It is so important for girls and boys to have a female, strong, superhero to look up to." - Gal Gadot

Gadot is perfect in the role as Diana Prince (aka Wonder Woman) and with the success of her first DC film, Batman v Superman she scored her own feature film Wonder Woman. This box office blockbuster raked in $821 million worldwide and catapulted Gal to Hollywood royalty. She was even invited to become a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - known for the annual Academy Awards. 


Gal: "And now I feel like I'm the luckiest girl in the world." 

Gadget kicks butt as Wonder Woman. Her 2 years of service in the Israel Defence Force as a Combat Instructor gave her the skills to play such a strong and powerful character! Gal said she learned discipline and respect serving. She trained for her role with lessons in Swordmanship, Kung Fu, Kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu. Gal was pregnant with her second child when she was filming Wonder Woman. 

Gal loved playing Wonder Woman because she had the opportunity to play "dress up" and transform into such a strong female empowered role, for her 4 year old daughter. 


Gal: "It made me feel really good about playing Wonder Woman. Boys always had Batman and Superman and Spiderman etc. And girls has the princesses. And Now [they have Wonder Woman]. It is so important for girls and boys to have a female, strong, superhero to look up to." 

Gal: "In real life I'm the type of girl who doesn't take herself too seriously. I'm very serious when it comes to work, but I like to make jokes and have a good laugh and make fun of myself." 


Later this year Gal will reprise her career defining role and team up with Batman (Ben Affleck) to star in her third DC movie instalment; Justice League - out November 17th. This highly anticipated Warner Bros movie was filmed last year on location in London, Scotland, Iceland and Los Angeles. 

In 2019 she will also return for the sequel Wonder Woman 2. 

Gal is an incredible actress, loving mother of two beautiful girls, inspiring woman and kick ass Superhero - we're convinced she is a real life Wonder Woman!

WONDER WOMAN: Hollie Piper

HOLLIE PIPER Zealous Swimwear 

WONDER WOMAN April 2017

Every once in a while we are inspired by a kick-ass female with business super powers who is strong and successful. She is fearless, confident and doesn't take no for an answer. Hollie Piper, founder of Zealous Swimwear is one super Girl Boss and our newest Wonder Woman. 

In this exclusive interview with Eco Glamazine, business babe Hollie Piper shares her passion for Zealous Swimwear and her secret to staying motivated in business.  

Hollie Piper is a born and bred Queenslander, wife and mother of two. She is super creative and began her working career at the age of 18 as an Internationally commissioned Illustrator. Growing up the sunshine state Hollie loved water sports and took full advantage of the swimming culture and Queensland lifestyle. 

Hollie combined her skills in pencil illustration, digital graphics and conceptual art with her love of sports and swimming to create Zealous Swimwear; a brand that truly reflects her beliefs and creative style. 

Zealous Swimwear was established in 2012 with the dream to inspire young athletes to be the best they can be. Passion, drive and the will to succeed is that Zealous is all about. 

This unique Aussie brand was developed with a team (lead by Hollie) of Australian elite athletes, designers, textile specialist and machinists. Zealous aims to provide a garment that allows athletes to be themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin. 

Sounds pretty impressive huh? We think so!

What does “Zealous” mean?

ZEAL·OUS / ‘zeles / adj: To be consumed by intense enthusiasm or zeal. inspired by an active interest or passion

The Zealous brand concept "strength, courage, inspire" is the inspiration behind every garment. Zealous swimsuits are produced with high grade polyester fabric and designed by Hollie using unique, vibrant and colourful artwork. 

As the woman behind the brand, can you tell us more about Zealous Swimwear? 

Hollie: I created Zealous Swimwear with the dream to inspire young athletes to be the best they can be. I developed my unique brand using an expert team of Australian elite athletes, designers, textile specialists, and machinists.

I wanted the brand to embody the notion of passion, drive and the will to succeed in all endeavours. As a brand, Zealous aims to provide a garment that allows athletes to be themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin. We seek to inspire greatness and confidence in athletes around the world by providing an active swimsuit that is durable, fashionable and 100% Australian owned.

Every Zealous Swimsuit is high quality, Australian made, long lasting and designed with training and pro athletes in mind. Zealous is designed and produced for the sole purpose of frequent training in chlorinated and salt water, and designed specifically for an athletic figure. For this reason it's the swimwear choice of Australia's best athletes including Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Pan Pacific Games and World Championship Swimmers.

As the key Designer of Zealous Swimwear, what inspires you to create your unique and vibrant designs? 

Hollie: I draw my inspiration from everything around me. From where I've travel to my favourite movies, music or dream destinations. I love exploring new themes, colours and print textures each season. 

Hollie, what's a typical work day like?

Hollie: I always start my day with coffee, while I check all social accounts and browse my email. I usually settle into work around 7:30 and start by knocking off any admin required, such as processing orders and accounts. Then I start on emails and get any quotes, customer service emails and general enquiries covered off. From there I usually split my days between doing team wear, stock management and social media.

Hollie Piper, Zealous Swimwear owner 

Running a successful brand is a full time job... Add in motherhood and marriage, life can get pretty busy. So what's Hollie's secret to staying on top of her mommy duties and balancing work? The "4am hustle" of course and "no work after 6pm".   

How do you stay motivated and on track everyday? 

Hollie: I'm a list maker and I have a lot of apps and plugins for my computer and phone to help me stay on track with follow-ups, tasks, production and social media. I also work in bulk, which basically means instead of doing one of something I'll bank up several at a time. For example, I'll do a week to a months worth of social media posts in one hit, instead of just scheduling the posts for that day. I'm also partial to the 4am hustle which helps me cover off more work per week.

Being a wife, mother, and business owner - how do you balance work and family? 

Hollie: Up until recently, I was a FIFO wife which meant I had to stay on track with my time on the weeks my husband would be away. This is also why I get up at 4 some mornings to get those hours in that I'll miss while I'm running the kids school and sports. It means I can enjoy watching them do their activity and we aren't so rushed at pick up/drop off times. We try to meal prep for the week ahead so it saves me time in the evenings, which is very helpful, plus I don't really like cooking. I have a no work rule after 6pm and Friday's is my "down day" which is basically my day to do as I choose. I usually just do emails that day and do some cleaning, groceries, and laundry. Then my weekend is somewhat free to relax with my family and get ready for the next busy week.

What’s your best business tip for women running their own business? 

Hollie: Spend more time on your business rather than in your business. Don't get caught up with the running of day to day things, spend time on improving and growing your business. 

Hollie Piper | Stephanie Bowers Photography

Being the founder, managing director and textile designer behind Zealous, Hollie has created one of Australia's best Swimwear brands. Not only does she design each piece of Zealous Swimwear, she runs a successful online store (shopzealous.com) and manages the brand's social media channels. When it comes to business Hollie is organised, driven, motivated and most of all passionate about inspiring athletes to be the best they can be with Zealous Swimwear.

DEMI LOVATO: Confident

DEMI LOVATO Confident 

Way back when (our very first Eco Glamazine issue to be exact) we featured pop princess Demi Lovato and her transition from Disney to Diva. This story is our #2 most read article on Eco Glamazine. 

Five years later Demi is still one of pop music's most popular singer, songwriters with over 56 million Instagram followers and 37 million Facebook fans! This Wonder Woman has transformed from a child star to a beautiful and confident young woman. 

Her latest studio album, the Grammy nominated Confident is available now and features her anthem Cool for the Summer and the edgy title track Confident. 

Her new found self confidence comes from Demi's body acceptance and self-love after suffering many years ago from depression and body issues.

"Feeling better than I've ever felt. It's all about self love. Tell yourself you're beautiful daily. Be gentle with yourself. Eat carbs without guilt and remember that life is too short to worry about what others think!"  

Demi is a body positivity and mental health advocate and has struggled with self-harm, eating disorders and bipolar. Ms Lovato floods her social media with self love and positive body images to encourage others to love their bodies just the way they are. 

"Every day you have the chance to turn it all around. Take care of your body and mind, and it will take care of you back." 

Demi uses her fame as an opportunity to speak out about living with mental health. 

"So many of my fans are dealing with mental illness, whether it's depression or bipolar disorder or even schizophrenia. I have fans that deal with all sorts of mental illness, so this is very important to them. If you know someone or if you're dealing with it yourself, just know that it is possible to live well. It's not something where you see a therapist once or you see your psychiatrist once, it's something you maintain to make sure that you want to live with mental illness. You have to take care of yourself." 

"I think that women who know they are, are beautiful." 

Not only is Demi a positive role model to her fans she was recently included in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2017. 

Arianna Huffington explains why Demi landed on this year's list: 

Arianna: "It seems like Demi Lovato has already led many lives. The singer, songwriter, actor and activist, who made her acting debut at age 8, has done so much, and been through so much, that it’s hard to believe she’s still only 24. But she hasn’t just grown up—she has grown in wisdom. Now Demi is using her hard-won wisdom to benefit others. After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, instead of hiding it she partnered with Be Vocal, a campaign devoted to getting people to speak up about mental illness and the stigma around it. She has also been a public role model, unashamedly chronicling her struggles with substance abuse (she is now five years sober) and eating disorders. And having been bullied as a child, Demi has taken up the cause to protect other children. Demi Lovato is a remarkably talented artist and performer. But her courage, honesty and willingness to use her own experiences to help others are what make her a true star."

Last year Demi told Allure magazine that she feels confident in her own skin. 

"I've never felt as confident in my skin as I do today. A year ago, on tour, almost every inch of my body was covered by clothing, and it was because I was hiding behind so many layers. Once I started feeling better about myself, I felt better about showing more skin." 

Demi Lovato recently shared some #nomakeup moments with her followers, including this fresh faced photo which she simply captioned "No makeup, just freckles." 

No makeup, just freckles. 

So, what's Demi's solution for naturally clear skin? Her own skincare brand DEVONNE by Demi. DEVONNE skin care line created by Demi and her team of beauty experts brings out the best possible version of your skin with natural botanicals and marine extracts. 

For Demi, skincare is self-care and priming her freckles is just as nourishing for her mind as it is her body. It is an act of self-worthiness and a vehicle on the road to longterm love. 

Demi knows the importance of a good skincare routine and it's the secret to her beautiful clear complexion. She co-created the Lovato Treatment Scholarship which covers expenses for people struggling with mental health and/or addiction issues. A percentage of DEVONNE by Demi profits is donated to support this important cause because Demi is a strong minded woman and she puts her money where her mouth is.

So gals, let's take a leaf out of Demi's book. Let's be more positive about our bodies. Let's be confident and embrace our curves. Let's eat carbs without guilt. It's all about self-love and taking care of yourself, everyday.
