Cory Monteith Meets Fans At Westfield Sydney
Today over 500 Australian Glee fans met Canadian actor and musician Cory Monteith at Westfield Sydney - city store.
Cory was there to promote Glee The Concert on Blu-ray and DVD, which fans snapped up from the JB Hi-Fi pop-up store.
It was wonderful to see Cory speak and get up close with the fans, as its the fans who ultimately tune in and buy merchandise which keeps actors in a gig.
Cory told the crowd that he was looking forward to holding a koala, which has long been a favourite wish of overseas actors while visiting our shores.
Something tells us a few of the young women in the audience might have imagined Cory was a koala, and wanted to cuddle up to him.
Show business bottom line - a lot of Glee DVD's were sold today, so it looks like long trip out here has paid for itself, and then some.
Glee can be seen on pay TV channel Foxtel many times per week, and of course now there's even more opportunities to own some of the Glee franchise on DVD.
A new series of Glee will be hitting Foxtel in 2012.
About Cory Monteith...
Cory Allan Monteith (born May 11, 1982) is a Canadian actor and musician, best known for his role of Finn Hudson on the Fox television series Glee.

Extreme Cabaret Zeta Bar Hilton Halloween Girl - 28th October 2011
Sydney’s Zeta Bar at the Hilton Hotel got a bit of a leg up on the other Halloween themed entertainment tonight as their extreme cabaret unleashed Halloween Girl.
She was unmistakable, as Halloween girl showed off her skeleton er legs, torso et al.
This creation was one that you would not likely find at Luna Park or in a school classroom.
The dancing skeleton stirred up patrons appetite for a drink, nibble and photo opportunities, and there was plenty of tease in the mix.
Model Anastasiya Bakss pulled off the dancing skeleton routine beautifully, and seemed to get right into the spirit of things.
Someone from the crowd was overheard "My Halloween dream has come early. I've got the treat here, not the trick. This is tickling my funny bone".
You wouldn't have guessed, but tonight's creation was made up in only an hour. The creation was a massive hit at the Zeta Bar, and word spread around other floors of the Hilton.
Snatch the opportunity to do Sydney in a naughty and teasing way. Come again to Sydney Hilton next Friday night and experience the new phenom known as 'extreme cabaret'. Trick or treat? You will have to join us to find out.

Elle Macpherson new face of Invisible Zinc Myer Sydney, by Eva Rinaldi - 21st October 2011
Elle Macpherson
Elle Macpherson has scored her latest product endorsement, Invisible Zinc, letting the cat out of the bag at Myer Sydney today.
The famous super model is in Australia for both business and family matters (her father Peter Gow fighting a battle with cancer).
Elle looked great as she appeared in the popular Cosmetics Hall.
Friend Melissa Hoyer interviewed Elle on topics such as beauty products, lifestyle and what's she's learned about Suncare. Yes, of course Invisible Zinc got a mention by name, and the news was all good.
Myer group general manager Judy Coomber was very pleased about how everything went.
Elle, thank you for stopping by and letting us get some great shots, and all the best with your exciting business ventures and family matters in Australia.

Hilton Hotel Sydney Zeta Bar ‘extreme cabaret’ themes red hot, by Eva Rinaldi - 16th September 2011
Sydney’s Zeta Bar at the world famous Hilton Hotel continued to push the extreme cabaret, now a staple of Friday nights in 'Sin City'.
If prohibition and tease are your thing, or vice if you prefer, you have come to the right place, or at least one of them, and you won't find a dirty old man, peeping tom or brown paper bag anywhere in sight from what we can muster.
My Human Statue Bodyart was thrilled to once again deliver a red hot and smoking cabaret presentation.
Cabaret lovers will be delighted to hear that the rumours continue to getting stronger that the 'Extreme Cabaret' theme will continue at Hilton Sydney much longer than the originally forecast 12 weeks. Word is that Hilton Hotels at the Gold Coast, New Zealand and even as far as the United Statues and Amsterdam are keen to incorporate extreme cabaret into their big entertainment nights.
Tonight it was Human Statue model Anastasiya Bakss made up in a bodypainting based black and red number that epitomised tease, burlesque and titillation.
The extreme cabaret performances have pumped blood into the Hilton's Zeta bar, and we know it's been wonderful for business. Downstairs at the Marble Bar has also appeared to have benefited by extra foot traffic and drinkies.
Zeta Bar biz king Grant Collins says of the nights "a late-1800s circus freak show crossed with 1920s-'30s sophistication".
Some of the most popular drinks at the moment include Absinthe (look for the sexy green bottle) and all things liquid nitrogen.
The fun and flirty Friday nights at Sydney Hilton have been one of the key watercooler conversation pieces in offices in and around Sydney's CBD for weeks.
Up to be tantalised in an appropriate cool and sexy fashion? Snatch the opportunity to do 'Sin City' Sydney like it should be done. You can bet that Sydney Hilton will be pumping again next Friday, and its got lots to do about 'extreme cabaret'. Join us and see what all the fuss is about boys and girls. Sweet dreams.

Specsavers continues NSW business expansion via bodypaint, by Eva Rinaldi - 16th September 2011
The ultra popular Australian eyewar retailer Specsavers has continued to show significant vision and daring in its latest campaign incorporating human statues into its marketing and media mix.
No, we're not talking about Alex Perry being the public face and voice of the company either, but rather a more measured media and marketing mix incorporating bodypaint and themed costumes.
It's marketing vision includes standing out from the pack, and they have again ramped up their campaign incorporating sales 101, superior customer service, quality products, and creativity... thanks to the eye catching human statues.
Last week Specsavers launched their Perth store, but today it was time for NSW via the Winston Hills store, following the lead from the Wetherill Park store this past Wednesday.
Specsavers is currently enjoying an Australia wide campaign which has been running like a freight train from NSW to SA, across to WA, and has now come back full circle to NSW via Western Sydney outlets in the heart of "Boganville".
It's been confirmed that countless retail masterminds from across the nation are watching the Specsavers - Human Statue Bodyart campaign closely, with rumblings dozens of other retailers are going to give the statues and bodypainting a go, in order to not be overshadowed by the dynamic and somewhat daring marketing tactics.
Impressive marketing and media tactics shown by Specsavers, or not? The watercooler chat states beancounters will know for certain in a matter of weeks, and early indicators demonstrate the eyewear retailer has shown great vision with the campaign, and that the rewards have far exceeded the risk.
A number of major retail giants such as Westfield's will soon be testing the waters with statues and bodypaint, and some heavyweights in the hotel - casino - resort sector will also be soon following suit, having caught wind of the campaign, with some also seeing human statues in action at a certain Sydney hotel...something about "Hilton" and extreme cabaret.
The retail industry is remaining divided as to if the statues were too "extreme" or not, but daring to be different may be one of the few ways to bring to life campaigns in the struggling retail sector.

Australasian Gaming Expo Report, by Eva Rinaldi - 22nd August 2011
Today was a important day on the Australian gaming industry calendar. It's the third and final day of the 2011 Australasian Gaming Expo, held at Darling Harbour in 'Sin City' Sydney, Australia. The event comes at a time where the spotlight on the Australian gambling industry may have never been brighter or so politically red hot. My company, Human Statue Bodyart, was delighted to be in the thick of the action. Enter the events world of the Gaming Technologies Association...
Australasian Gaming Expo Open Day In Sydney...
Over 150 gaming - gambling exhibitors enjoyed day three at the Australasian Gaming Expo Open at Sydney's Darling Harbour. Dozens of big name brands were there including IGT (and its new 'Sex And The City' slot game), Aristocrat Technologies Australia, Ainsworth, Konami, WMS, ShuffleMaster and Bally.
Most of the exhibitors were making a return appearance from last year. It appeared they're were more exhibitors than "punters".
It's a huge production, with over 15,000 square meters decked out in gambling gear.
While big name companies like IGT somewhat dominated the event, it was impossible not to also recognise some of the smaller operations, as well as a few of IGT's competitors of sorts, thanks to their considerable branding and marketing efforts.
Here's the list of all of entities I was blessed to be able to speak with and photograph:
IGT
Aristocrat Technologies Australia
Ainsworth
Bally
Maxgaming
Keno
Paynter Dixon Hospitality
Tenrod Australia
Rohrig
Choice Paper & Imaging
Allpride Signs & Marketing
Paltronics Australasia
Maximun Light
As you can see from our photographs showcased on our Flickr, a great time was had by all, and the event was largely a success for all involved.
For the record, some of my personal favorite games are 'Sex And The City', 'The Phantom', 'Queen Of The Nile', 'Aussie Gold', 'Rose Tattoo', 'Jaws', 'Wheel Of Fortune' and Keno.
It's going to be interesting to see what poker machine manufacture is the one that will step up to battle with the red hot IGT slot - 'Sex And The City'. Will it be Australia's own Aristocrat or an international entrant.
Good on the organisers for also having coffee and bites on hand. 4.5 stars out of 5 for an excellent event, and we'll look forward to being on hand next year for more of the fun and games that is the Australasian Gaming Expo.

Specsavers Seeing Merit In Human Statues, by Eva Rinaldi - 13th August 2011
It's marketing vision includes standing out from the pack, and they have embarked on a campaign incorporating solid sales material, superior customer service, fantastic products, and creativity... thanks to the eye catching human statues.
The Perth store campaign recently commenced and was a big hit. This was the latest state to employ the tactics in its Australia wide campaign that spread from NSW to SA, and has now hit WA. Melbourne will be next, then back to NSW with Sydney's Parramatta Store makeover.
It's understood that many retail hot-shot masterminds from across the industry are watching the Specsavers - Human Statue Bodyart campaign closely, with rumblings other retailers are going to give the statues and possibly bodypainting a go, in order to not be overshadowed by the dynamic marketing tactics.
Brilliant marketing and media tactics shown by Specsavers, or not? The rumour mill says beancounters will know for certain in less than a month, but early indicators demonstrate the eyewear retailer has shown great vision with the campaign, and that the rewards have far exceeded the risk.
A number of major retail giants will soon be testing the waters with statues and bodypaint, and some leaders in the hotel - casino - resort sector will also be soon following suit, having caught wind of the campaign, with some also seeing some human statues in action at a certain Sydney hotel...something about "Hilton" and cabaret.
The retail industry remains divided as to if the statues were too "extreme" or not, but daring to be different may be one of the few ways to bring to life campaigns in the struggling retail sector.

Sydney's Hilton Hotel brings back Extreme Cabaret By Popular Demand, by Eva Rinaldi - 13th August 2011
Sydney's in-crowd was once again back at The Hilton's Zeta Bar last night for more teasing and titillation by Extreme Cabaret.
Friday's at Zeta have never been hotter than at current thanks to the cabaret and carnival themes.
You're be delighted to hear that the cabaret human statues were back, as were the dancers. Last night saw the debut of little person 'Mini Lady Gaga' who added extra Moulin Rouge energy to the arts collaboration.
The award winning Zeta Bar was going crazy, in a good way, and guys and girls lapped it up. The bar sure did a healthy trade, and we understand a number of last minute accommodation bookings were taken in by the Hilton Hotel, which is always a good sign of a fun and hot night out in Sexy Sin City.
The 8 foot tall (on stilts) ringmaster / MC was back, which acted as quite the conversation piece and ice breaker facilitator for conversations between lads and lassies in attendance.
If you didn't already hear The Hilton's Zeta Bar will be presenting their Extreme Cabaret each Friday till the end of September, already many club goers in Sydney are being influenced into dressing up in Extreme Cabaret garb.
It's all just in time for 'Underbelly Razor' which returns to Channel Nine on Sunday August 21. Ladies, don't be afraid to dress up as vice queens Kate Leigh or Tilly Devine.
The Zeta Bar remains a favourite of many Sydney based celebs, but no one is disclosing the names of who is showing up each and every Friday. You just have to turn up and play "name that celeb". The Extreme Cabaret "dolls" will be back, and they are looking forward to tantalising and titillating you, so don't disappoint them will you darlings.
PS: wondering what to wear? Feathers, black with red and blue and white are in, as are shades of conservative bondage fashion, but don't forget - it's Hilton, not Kings Cross, so if in doubt play it a little safe, and leave it to the performers to show off their skin.
