Rewind to early 2015 and I’d only been in Melbourne a few weeks and things got off to a promising start when I was asked to model for the Barba party gay club night for beardy weirdies. Hooray for trivial hirsute.
By the end of the year I was getting my kit off for Treasure Island Media once again…. and going all inflatable doll-like for the infamous men’s night, Trough. Laugh? I nearly choked on my apparatus.
