Sit up straight. You call this clean? What have you done with your hair? I’m always here. I said no and that’s final. What were you thinking? Close your mouth when you chew. You’re not going dressed like that. Don’t be a baby. You’re not old enough yet. Not until you’ve earned it. You tried [...]

mum magic

By Phoebe Gazal | Published: April 25, 2011
“I am often asked what it was like to have a famous mother.  I always answer that I really don’t know.  I know her first as my mother and then as my best friend.  Only after that did I understand that she was an actress and, with time, that she was a truly exceptional actress.” [...]

hop to it!

Anyone who knows me well will tell you one of the things I love more than anything is celebrating life with friends. With Easter, one of the calendar’s biggest celebrations, just days away, I’ve made sure I’m as organised – all I do is organise – as possible. Not so very long ago when I [...]

unpublished Harper’s Bazaar

By Phoebe Gazal | Published: September 27, 2010
I have had a number of moments in the spotlight, albeit brief, I am still very grateful. You have to admit it is great for business and profile and all that marketing stuff. It is also wonderful to be treated to hair and makeup and have a wardrobe like Sarah Jessica’s Parkers to choose from. [...]

By Phoebe Gazal | Published: April 17, 2010

strike a pose in paper

By Phoebe Gazal | Published: March 25, 2010
It has been a long time between blogs and it is really time to get more diligent so I have decided to make them short and very very sweet. If you wander the streets of Double Bay at the moment you will encounter over 80 mannequins painted, decorated and embellished by local artists. It is [...]

a different perspective

By Phoebe Gazal | Published: September 28, 2009
Isn’t it amazing how different people have different perspectives. So when one person looks at something, another person is looking at it in a totally different way.

if I was running the country…

By Phoebe Gazal | Published: August 1, 2009
…it would look something like this! the parks would be full of topiary like in Edward Scissorhands’ back yard – ballerinas, animals and lots of beautiful shapes • lots of art on the streets and I would ban beige and apricot and pastel houses…it’s that simple. Let’s keep life fun!
