Who is Stella? in 2009
My bio needed updating since 2005… a lot has changed.
I am Stella. I am a 20-something year old girl who grew up in Perth and has been living in New York for the past 1.5 years.
When I was in my early teens, I earned money being on children television shows. A couple years later I posed as an 18 year old (when in actual fact I was very under age) and got a job as a DJ on a radio show. I scored press passes to concerts and after parties and met famous musicians. I was mischievous and brazen and it was some of the best years of my life.
When I was 20, I worked for a magazine publication in New York. Ever read The Devil Wears Prada? Minus the handsome suitors, it was a story I could relate to. The publishing world is harsh.
Today I work for one of the biggest advertising agencies in the world. But after only 4 years of being in this industry, I have decided I have had enough. I want to pursue a life in film production – like a million other people do.
I love life in New York. If I didn’t have my parents or friends living in Perth, I wonder sometimes if there would be any reason to return.
Whilst living in New York I have:
1. Learnt to cook
2. Become a literary junkie
3. Made friends with people I REALLY “click” with
4. Not only saw Lou Reed in a small and intimate concert but also went to a party he attended (and got royally trashed)
5. Learnt to appreciate summer - NY winters are harsh
6. Not had any major heart break - I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing…
7. Last but not least, I have seen my favorite Picasso painting 7 times this year and that is special.
