Putting the squeeze on Victoria’s movers, shakers and headline makers.
Bronzing king Shaun Wilson got two monumental “I do’s” in the past 24 hours.
Wilson, co-CEO of self-tanning brand Bondi Sands popped the question to his influencer girlfriend and Melbourne model Tess Shanahan.
The proposal was full-tilt Byron Bay, with a picturesque backdrop, DIY marquee, and an avalanche of flowers.
“My forever,” Shananhan posted on Insta, while flaunting her sparkling engagement ring.
Wilson’s next proposal was a business deal with Tokyo-based beauty brand Kao Corporation, which bought Bondi Sands for $450 million.
Wilson and Shanahan’s happy couple post shows they didn’t need a bronzer top-up.
Their glow was from within.
Influencer photographer lifts the lid
A photographer to Melbourne’s influencers has lifted the lid on the ugly side of making Insta-celebs look beautiful.
Eugene Canty, director of boutique creative agency Northbrook, revealed the lengths some go to these days for the perfect social media shot.
In a classic case of ‘does the carpet match the drapes’, Canty lugged his own ruby rug and curtains to the Logies to get Insta-impressive snaps of Rebecca Harding and Andy Lee.
Canty credited Harding and Chaddy stylist Elliott Garnau with the plan, which would definitely have breached Jetstar’s 7kg carry-on weight limit.
“From sewing the curtain myself to flying from Melb to Syd and back with square metres of red carpet,” Canty said on Instagram, with shots of the unglamorous cargo.
“Loved every bloody moment.”
Oh dear.
Victorian MP misses first sitting week for first time in 20 years
Victorian Nationals leader Peter Walsh is missing from parliament for the first time in more than two decades.
Walsh had never missed a sitting week since becoming an MP in 2002.
Then, his achilles tendon snapped earlier this month.
Walsh went under the knife overnight.
“Fortunately my super surgeon Will Edwards discovered the damage wasn’t quite as extensive as feared once he opened up my ankle,” he said.
“But he has made it very clear to me – in the strongest possible terms – I will be in bed for the next two weeks minimum, and then there is a long rehab road ahead.
Walsh faces eight weeks or more in plaster. But those close to him reckon it will be tough keeping him down.
He carried a strained tendon into a recent Kokoda trek and thought an anti-inflammatory injection and some painkillers would do the trick.
A blistered Walsh made it to the end, and it seems he’s now paying the price.
Melbourne florist unimpressed with uninvited deliveries
The Source is quietly confident that our late Queen would not have been amused by public displays of regurgitation.
So, can you imagine how the folk at a CBD store named in her honour might react to such behaviour?
A sign at the front of Her Majesty’s Florist in the legal district suggests that someone has recently brought up the day’s takings.
“Do not vomit on our property or your glory photo will be displayed,” it warns.
It could be assumed that means management will take images from their CCTV and display them to all and sundry.
HMF promises worldwide deliveries.
Yet it’s clear they are not impressed by uninvited deliveries on their premises.
