Karly Ashworth Down Under

G’day readers! Well for those of you who don’t already know, I’ve packed up and flown to Australia for some very exciting work commitments!

I really have to declare my love for this city, Melbourne really is one of the most vibrant, fashionable, and educational places I have ever been to. There are endless things to do and see here, the food is great, the city is tremendously stylish and it has a great sense of anyone can be whoever they want to be here – which leads me to comment on how lovely and friendly the people are!

It has been non stop since I landed here and I have to admit, I am loving every single minute of it! These last two weeks have been crazy with events, meetings and talks regarding my upcoming movie role – So its all systems go, and full speed ahead!

I always find it important to stay focused, and when things stand in my way, I cut them off or make my way around them, when it comes to life, I am a great believer in ‘If you want something in life – you can get it’ I remember writing in my yearbook that in 10 years time I see myself being famous, becoming a successful Model and entrepreneur… Now maybe that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it certainly was mine!

Don’t get me wrong though, my ambition wasn’t to be some wannabe WAG, I never aspired to become some rich guys wife, my goal in life was simply to become successful in something I loved and above all, be a independent woman. I enjoyed every minute in the Big Brother house and used my experience and time on the show as a platform for the life I lead now after all; life is what you make of it, and I intend to keep on doing what I love most and keeping myself on the right track!

Obviously, it’s not all work and no play here though, I mean come on, that’s just not me is it?! So, what else have I been up to over here? Well, I spent a few days last week at L’oreal fashion week where I enjoyed many shows including lots from some extremely talented Australian designers.

My favourites were from Carly Hunter (I’m not biased because of the name, honest!) and well known brand, MIMICO, for their fabulous accessories that make an outfit dazzle!  The shows were so inspiring and I also took the time to step into the L’oreal powder room for a makeup and nail makeover and even indulged myself in some aftershow catwalk sales where everything was almost 90% off! Now ladies, if that isn’t heaven, I don’t know what is… well unless there were some of my favourite UK brands there too – I just love Topshop and All Saints when I’m at home!

For me, this week was all about finding my inner confidence again, and what better way to do that than by enjoying a few of the things I love most: Fashion, beauty, and keeping busy!? I’m also working on a few interesting business ideas and know a lot of you lovely ladies have been after some fashion, beauty and shopping tips so with my brand new website almost complete – I have dedicated a whole new section to just that!

If you cant wait till the website is up, As always feel free to tweet me on my official twitter @mskarlyashworth.

Until next time, stay beautiful.

I think I love Big Brother’s Halfwit

I know you’re probably going to hate me for saying this, but you know, I’m becoming increasingly fond of Big Brother’s Halfwit / Freddie… and I just can’t keep a lid on it anymore.

When he first went into the house I thought he was pretty good-looking… I mean, I know he’s not a conventional ‘pretty boy’ like Kris or Rodrigo (who I wouldn’t kick out of bed in a hurry) but there’s just something about him that is really growing on me.

Whether it’s the way he tries so hard (and always fails) to fit in with the group, or the way the housemates make fun of him when he’s not around, but I just want to snuggling him up in my arms and take care of him!

Freddie+bb10

I know I’d probably want to get away from him if I had to spend any long period of time with him, as I imagine he can get pretty tiresome with his posh boy ways and voice, but still I just think he’s lovely.

So come on, are there any other closet Halfwit lovers out there?

Big Brother 2009: Is It Worth It?

Well you’ve heard the reports this year, that Big Brother isn’t doing as well as it has done in previous years, but is it the housemates or the show itself that’s sent ratings crashing?

Let’s be honest, the inmates this year aren’t quite as mental as they have been in the past, in fact, most of them just seem like fame-hungry wannabe’s than the types of people you’d cross the street to avoid.

I mean where’s the annoying Charlie-alike? Or the nasty Nick Character? Or even the token couple like Mario and Lisa? Nothing, just loads of plain housemates, who, for the most part, are only in their for their looks.

To be honest, I’d rather have a bunch of stereotypically ‘ugly’ people in there if it meant we were going to get some real action rather than watching 12 people preening themselves in the mirrors and setting up fake romances to try and hook in a few extra votes.

I’ve got to admit, I love Big Brother, and I’d love to be a contestant, and as much as it’s awful to say “I wish they’d argue” let’s face it, we’d rather see another Chantelle Vs Charlie Vs Ziggy battle all over again than the housemates only arguing about Halfwit making too much salad.

The only really entertainment is watching Sree piss everyone off by coming onto Noirin and telling her that he’s in love with her, telling Karly she dresses too slutty and generally annoying the lads with his lack of social skills.

But what do you think about this year’s lot? Are you still tuning in?

Big Brother: Day 7

Big Brother seems to be taking over my life at the minute, but not as much as the fifteen housemates living in the house I guess. So, what have they been getting up to?

Well, Sree is branded annoying by his housemates, Karly is bored of the show already, Noirin reveals she was bedded on ‘The Real World’ and Sophie chats about her fake boobs. Brilliant.

Sree branded annoying

We al saw in last night’s show that Sree had started to rub his housemates up the wrong way, and in the latest Sree(m), – see what I did there… mixed Sree and scream? – anyway, Marcus AKA Wolverine last night vented his frustrations about Sree to Angel, Lisa and Kris calling him an annoying little brother.

Karly: ‘I’m bored out of my mind’

I would have thought that a piece of dust or a small marble would keep airhead Karly entertained, but it seems that she’s bored already, after just one week in the house!

The glamour girl told wannabe gangsta Cairon about her woes whilst they were in the garden, saying; “I’ve been bored out of my mind today, I keep thinking I could be in New York right now, with my boyfriend or with my family and I’m stuck in this house, bored out of my brains and with people I don’t even like.”

Weirdly though, Karly doesn’t live in New York, and she also told us in her VT before she entered the house that she would like to meet a footballer so she does not have to work.

Erm, is it just me but doesn’t she realise that her boyfriend would have seen that? Talk about a dumb blonde… oh, and you’re bored Karly? Well this is Big Brother 10, how you ever watched the show before?

Noirin Had Sex On ‘The Real World’

Noirin might not be so new to reality TV as she makes out, as it has come to light that she actually appeared on The Real World Sydney in 2007 as Isaac Stout’s girlfriend.

And she didn’t just ‘keep it real’ either, in one of the shows the pair spent quite a while in the hot tub before making their way to the bedroom hours later – I just hope they didn’t have wrinkly fingers and toes.
Sophie Talks About Boobs

Sophie, always wanting to discuss the important things in life, cured her boredom by explaining to her housemates that her breast implants are just “six-months-old”.

During a casual chat over the dinner table, crazy Angel asked Miss Pretty when she has her boobs done, to which she revealed that it had been in December “just gone”. To with her fellow airhead Karly asked, “Are they still healing?”

“Some people say it takes six months for them to properly shape,” Sophie replied, but apparently if she looks after them properly, the implants will last her ten years. Wow, you learn something new every day.

Big Brother Day 6: Karly Thinks She’s The Sexiest Person In The House…. What?!

We knew it wouldn’t be long until people started arguing, sniping and of course bawling out *ahem* crocodile *ahem*  tears

Yes boys and girls, Sree has proven that he’s the man to watch for foot-in-mouth comments after he told Karly that he was worried about how the public would perceive her image on the show after she wore a provocative outfit for a Moulin Rouge theme.

Now, we all can tell that Sree fancies Karly but maybe asking her to cover up before they’ve even been on a date might be a little forward? He told her; “It’s fair enough if you want to show the audience and the public, that’s you. It’s nothing to get upset about,” said Sree. Karly then started crying and sat on his lap for a hug – convenient.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, no need to cry,” he said, all the whilst hoping she’d continue to ball her eyes out and he could enjoy her shaking (due to the crying obviously) on his lap for as long as possible.

However, it wasn’t long before Karly shot down poor old Sree’s advances by pointing out that she wanted to dress for herself and not for others, and insisted she was upset about missing her boyfriend. But clearly not taking the hint, he told her; “I don’t want any idiots talking about you.”

Although, I nearly feel off my chair when Karly replied: “That’s what me and Sophie are about – we’re the sexy girls in the house. We’re masking what our true personality is. I respect that. But I’m crying because I miss my boyfriend,” err, hello, but don’t you think you’re a bit big-headed with that statement love? Personally I think Saffia is much sexier than you.

Big Brother: Day 5

During Day 5 of Big Brother, Kris thought it was time to reveal what he really thought of his housemates whilst Karly and Sophie bragged about being gay porn stars.

Kris Vs. Everyone

First of all, pretty boy Kris went into the Diary Room to chat with Big Brother about his impressions of the other housemates, although, they weren’t all rosy as he labelled some of the “nut jobs.”

The 24-year old gave his opinions on his fellow housemates and said; “There’s a few people I don’t get. It’s a bit shallow to say, but if I bumped into them outside I would have avoided them like the plague.”

Poor old Siavash’s name passed him by, and he begun to call him “teen wolf”, whilst it was Angel to whom he really stuck the knife in, saying; “If Angel came down the street doing her hissing thing at me…she was sucking an egg last night. That’s salmonella, you can catch from that!”

Sree: The Annoying Little Brother

Kris didn’t stop his barrage of his fellow inmates in the diary room though, after he and Marcus (Wolverine) have both agreed that the flirt-tastic Sree is like “an annoying little brother”.

 

During a conversation with Angel and Lisa, the pair went on to pull chunks out of the token foreign housemate, saying; “It’s like you get attached to him and then it’s like, I’d like to humour you but I haven’t got a clue what you’re on about.”

However, Lisa didn’t share the same annoyance towards Sree, instead targeting her rant at Freddie, whom she revealed had an annoying voice. Well, you’re one to talk aren’t you Lisa, we’ll have you know that Freddie has the voice of a true Englishman, not some unemployed bum.

However, Kris did speak favourably of few of the housemates, saying that he’s bonded with Charlie, Saffia and Lisa, and “loves Rodrigo to bits”.

Karly and Sophie: The Lesbians

Elsewhere, Karly and Sophie get the male housemates a little hot under the collar by telling them that they were both bisexual and had slept together… right girls.

 

 

 In fact, the pair claim that they actually worked on a porn movie called She’s the t***, I’m the a*** and were lovers who enjoyed spending all day in bed together… God, some people will do anything for fame! Unfortunately though, (and much to my annoyance) Cairon, Siavash and Freddie were totally sucked in by the pair’s deviance and obviously went to bed with a lot of food for thought.

Oh boys, why are you so gullible? The only film they’ve been in was made by a local lad from their estate.

Big Brother 10: Show 2

So it’s Saturday and we’re on show two of this series, and rthe housemates are thrown into turmoil right away as special forces burst into the house and white noise blasts in whilst the housemates are lined up for interrogation. Wow, you know that Big Brother has really begun now.

The non housemates are lucky enough to just sit in their cosy bedroom and watch the whole debacle play out whilst their fellow inmates are forced to prove their worth by being subjected to all sorts of SAS interrogation tactics… and here they were thinking they were going to have a nice, relaxing summer.

The fully fledged housemates, Lisa, Rodrigo, Norin and Kris then get called to the diary room where they’re treat to a delicious full English breakfast which they are instructed to eat in the bedroom in full view of their starving housemates.

The torment goes on until the second half of the show which see’s the housemates given the chance to win full housemates status and be immune from eviction on Sunday. However the challenges are for two housemates to cross broken glass, whilst one other housemate has to endure thirty seconds of ultimate special force challenge… I mean, Big Brother, broken glass… isn’t that a bit dangerous?

Sophia and Charlie somewhat stupidly decide to take on the glass challenge, which they somehow manage to cross without any serious injuries or severed toes… and achieve full housemate status.. well it was sugar glass after all (clearly the ‘brave’ housemates didn’t know that!) elsewhere Karly decides to take on the Special Forces, I hope she doesn’t think the Barbie Doll persona will force the Special Forces to go easy on her though.


Standing in the garden she’s forced to lay down whilst some bloke on a motor cross drives into the garden and starts revving his engine, although with her face blindfolded she doesn’t realist that some bloke is just rolling a wheel over her belly and pretending to drive over her. So this brave little princess also gets full housemate status. Woo!

So, whilst the latest housemates eat their lash up, the non-housemates have to eat porridge from mess tins it’s almost enjoyable until Freddie comes in and starts warbling on about he is freaked out by Wolverine (aka Marcus) and tells us all how she likes Sophie, who he didn’t think he’d like because he usually goes for ‘brainy’ girls. Right.

We get our first tears from Sophie Who gets upset because her bra is too tight and her knicers are too small. Obviously all the guys flock to make her feels better, secretly hoping they will be able to help her out of them… I do hope these crocodile attention-seeking tears aren’t going to stick with us for the next couple of months.

Luckily for her, Sophie and Freddie are the next ones to be called to the diary room in the hope of being given full housemate status. Their challenge is to change their name, by law in deed poll. Freddie gets the joy of being called halfwit, whilst Sophie is destined for dogface. Clearly they both sign the document. Brilliant.

Later on the ‘real’ housemates get access to their own kitchen complete with crisps and chocolate, that’s actually better than the kitchen in my house…although the fake housemates are subjected to more soup for their meal, but I mean let’s face it, they don’t have to work Monday to Friday and they get all their food made for them… I need to get me some housemate action going on.

The bitching also begins with Sophie talking about Sophia bitching about her, whilst Sophia and Karly are busy talking about how they think Charlie will win and Sophia seems a bit quite, and that they think Sophie actually has a problem with them. Err, hello, we’re only on day two and they’re already sniping behind each other’s back… what’s wrong with saying things to each others’ faces these days?

However, in the living room, Sophie is still banging on about Sophie’s ‘true colours’ and all this stuff, but is it just me or is someone a bit jealous that they have to sleep on the floor?

Beinazir makes it into the diary room for her bitch session, and until now I’d totally forgotten she was actually in the house however, the housemates aren’t so lucky in the bedroom, and Freddie is warbling some bloody song at the top of his lungs, much to everyone’s amusement… oh I knew the madness wouldn’t take long to start.

Big Brother 10: Show One

The first full show of the series watches the housemates enter the house from the inside, and we watch in awe as Freddie baffles people with his bizarre voice and behaviour. But obviously it was Angel who created the most controversy, offering to train the housemates in professional boxing and talking almost non-stop in her thick Russian accent.

Once Sree had entered the house the fun really began, firstly by the fake wolverine, otherwise known as Marcus telling him that he had nothing to worry about and that no-one is planning to kill him. Brilliant! What a way to make someone feel uncomfortable.

Siavash is an instant hit with Angel as he sneakily tells her; “I can see we’re going to get on.” ooh, could this be our first love match of the series?

After the break the housemates are let into the rather un-exciting house and instructed that all of the non-housemates are banned from entering the bedrooms and are forced to wear clothes provided by Big Brother… the only problem is, with the outfits being everything from trousers to underwear, the housemates are forced to lose all inhibitions by completely stripping down and changing their underwear in front of everyone else!

In their private bedroom, Rodrigo and Noirin enjoy champagne and canapés – and just to twist the knife a little more, Big Brother says that any housemate who breaks the rules or doesn’t get full housemate status by Sunday could face eviction in the first eviction of the show on Sunday night. Ooh.

Sophia is a hit with Siavash and Sree, as Sree reads her palm, lavishes her with compliments and basically comes on to her for the duration of part two of the show.

In part three Big Brother rings the house on what I’ve dubbed the ‘bat phone’ and tells Lisa (who answers it) that she and a person of her choice can become the third and fourth housemates. Lisa chooses Kris and they venture into the diary room to tell everyone how they plan on pulling all the women in the house. This could be interesting…

Later on as the housemates start introducing each other, Freddie shares the information that he can be bisexual after; “a few tequlia’s” clearly this goes down well with the group, as he’s available for anyone!

Best at introducing herself has to be Sophia who tells the house about her illness Lupus and explains why she has a ‘real’ women’s body, with stretch marks… oh and she nearly died. Oh, and her sister dies of it too. Wow, she knows how to get the party going doesn’t she? I love her though, she seems so positive and grateful for life.

By the time the bedroom is open for the four fully fledged housemates, the rest of the clan try to conceal their disappointment my trying (and failing) to have a party rather than sleeping on the floor with just a crate for warmth.

Charlie comes to the Diary Room to beg for full housemate status whilst the other guys try and get some shut eye in preparation for their full day in the house… but we never find out what happens to lil ol’ Charlie… so fingers crossed for him and his fellow jail mates and good night.

Wow, one night in and I’m already hooked!
