MISS BONDI 2011 :: The interview

 
Here's a little interview with Miss Bondi 2011 winner Sophie Don, she's sassy, sexy and savvy and she rides a BBC Trex lowrider can she be anymore badass? enjoy RP.

RP: Hell yeah, you’ve just taken out the title for Miss Bondi 2011, congrats! How are you feeling about it all and what’s the aftermath1. been like?

SD: Thank you! I still can’t believe it to be honest. I actually entered on a dare from a mate from work and most people were pretty shocked when they found out. To find myself up on that stage and taking the title is pretty crazy to me! Afterwards on Sunday I had lots of random high fives and people wanting photos, it was so weird. I kept thinking “Who, me?!”

RP: Well you know you’re the envy of every girl and the fantasy of every young impressionable boy right now, what are you gonna do with all that power??

SD: Run for president? Do you think I get a sash for that?

RP: Vote 1 Miss Bondi! Ok it’s time to get serious.. how many free beers did you get at the after party and do you remember what happened that night?

SD: Dude I get free beer anyway, but I definitely think it’s safe to say I lost count that night! There wasn’t so much an after party but I was wandering around afterwards still kind of in a daze and lots of people coming up and congratulating me. Then we had staffies afterwards and one of the managers made a really beautiful toast to me which was so sweet of him!

RP: I saw that your Mum was there to cheer you on, that must have been awesome! What does she have to say about your win?

SD: Man my Mum is the best person in the entire world. She’s always been so encouraging and we have a really similar sense of humor so she was actually the one who helped me come up with some of my answers (that I’m sure have made the rounds on the quoting circuit). She’s just the best. She has however suggested that we keep the news of my win from my Grandma.

RP: So when you’re not up on a catwalk kicking ass in competitions, what are some of your favorite things to do in Bondi?

SD: Kicking ass on the ground! I work 4 days a week (babysitting alcoholics and tourists) but when I’m not there I like to run along the promenade and then head to the Organic Bakery and buy a few Almond sticks, they’re my favourite! I’m also a really big fan of the Crossing, my trainer works up there so it’s good to head in to visit him. Whatever I do, I make sure to stay away from White Revolting.

RP: Don't we all. You purchased a Trex Lowrider from us a while back and we heard everyone has been frothing over it (and you) when you ride it down to work, do you think that the bike contributed to your win?

SD: I loved it from the minute I got on it and rode it (…ok that sounded bad). Every time I’ve ridden it down to work I’ve had people asking me where I got it from and some of the older Bondi locals telling me how it looks exactly like the bike they had when they were younger. I love the colour, red is my favourite and I’m a bit of a tomboy at heart so I reckon it makes me a little badass. It definitely would’ve contributed to my win, riding it around the place is such good exercise and especially for your legs so they looked tip top for when I had to strut in front of that pub full of people in a bikini and heels!

RP: This is a question from all the guys in Bondi, are you spoken for at the moment? And if not, what kind of gentleman would catch your eye and how would he go about winning you over?

SD: At the moment I’m a free agent, I’ve never really managed to hold onto a guy but I promise I’m not crazy! I think it’s probably because often I end up just becoming one of the boys. But if I was going to say what kind of guy, I don’t really have a physical type. Preferably someone with a brain and a bit of a dark sense of humour so I don’t offend them every time I open my mouth and definitely no moustache, Movember is over people!! If he wanted to win me over? Definitely be original. I’m not a fan of bullshit and small talk, also – no man cleavage. Put. That. Shit. Away.

RP: Well there you have it boys, keep those man nipples hidden if you want a shot with Miss Bondi! What’s the plan now? Miss Universe?

SD: I think it’s safe to say I’ll be hanging up my heels and my sash and going on being a normal Bondi girl. I’m glad I did it but I think it’s definitely safe to say that beyond the familiarity of 2026, the pageant business isn’t really my thing!

Bondi - World Record holders, Thong Challenge its on again

 It seems our "mates" from across the Nullarbor are already gearing themselves to try and beat us this time around in the Havaianas Australia Day thong challenge in 2012. Its reported by the West Australian that Cottesloe beach will once again host the Aussie day thong challenge and organisers are already urging people in WA to show their support for their state and take out the title in 2012.

Well maybe I need to remind them what happened last year when even a thick mist didn't stop 2068 people showing their support in Bondi Beach to pip the title from Cottesloe beach 1947 to become the World record holders for the longest line of giant inflatable thongs joined in the water. And especially with this un-Australian weather Bondi has been having if there is any sign of blue sky come January 26th that record doesn't stand a chance.

Here's some photos for us to reminisce on that glorious day, the last one is from the future. enjoy Res

Bicycle Animation

I had to watch this twice to work out if it was real or not. Maybe we should try this on some BBC bikes

BONDI to BRONTE a lifestyle captured

Bondi to Bronte from Simon Lister on Vimeo.

Almost everyone on the planet that knows Bondi rarely see this side of her, the quiet, the still, the reflective, the community, where things are simple and small things are cherished. This short film is the true representation on the Bondi lifestyle.

Enjoy Res.

Crushing on this vid!

HERE COMES THE NEIGHBOURHOOD - Street Art

HCTN EPISODE 1 : INTRODUCING THE WALLS from Here Comes the Neighborhood on Vimeo.

We love everything creative, colourful and inspiring and this little clip of an urban project/experiment is the perfect example of those three attributes. Here comes the neighborhood is a documentary of the Wynwood arts project in Miami, this bland secluded town was revitalised by street art with many of the blank factory walls transformed with murals by some of the worlds leading street artist, most of which carry a reflection of the times we live in and the issues we face. Gone are the days where its is considered graffiti and vandalism, this project shows that with organisation and collective vision, creative individuals can make all the difference.

Enjoy Res.

Avalon Markets

We'll be heading over the bridge this Saturday 19 November to set up shop at the annual Avalon Market Day.


More of a festival than a market, this community day will feature music, food, clowns, a petting zoo, circus workshop and the famous dog show hosted by David Koch.


It'll be fun for the whole family and of course you can get your hands on a brand new Bondi Beach Cruiser!!

If IRONMAN rode a bike this could be it! AMAZING!

British Architect/Designer Ron Arad, put his psychedelic design brain from his futuristic architectural sculptural buildings to the humble two wheeled bike as a part of the WOW bikes charity auctions, and decided to do what most of us would never think of and reinvented the wheel (the man's a genius). Like all great inventions and breakthrough it was meet with laughs and disbelieve, with many questioning if the bike can be ridden. And so comes this video, again genius.

Sculpture By The Sea

The 15th annual Bondi Sculpture By The Sea exhibition officially starts today. OK so the weather is not playing nice today but temps look to hit 27 degrees this Sunday so get out there and enjoy some art beachside. It's on until Sunday 20 November.

We thought we'd take a look back at some awesome sculptures of previous years. Enjoy....

Single Fin Classic

At Bondi Beach Cruisers we LOVE all things classic, which is why we're especially pumped about the Single Fin Classic. If your'e keen to get involved grab your entry form here, otherwise just head down to Bondi Beach on November 5 to catch all the action and enjoy some tunes aswell.

Wheel Decks - Music on wheels.. literally

The Dutch is always on the front of the bicycling world, they love their bike so much that these dutch designers fitted a record player on the wheels of a bike.

Designers Merel Slootheer, Pieter Frank de Jong and Liat Azulay says:

Simple alterations to the bike’s structure makes it easy to change records, and a few tweaks to the “crank of the bike and the chain” ensures records don’t skip. The record screws onto the bike frame with a small cap, and the needle is spring-loaded to keep it steady. To allow (or force?) pedestrians to hear your tunes as you zoom by, the designers installed a megaphone-style amplifier made out of plumbing materials.

 Although its not quite perfect yet (The difficulty of getting the right speed to play the record needs to be solved) can't wait for the tune up so I can stroll down the beach listening to old school tunes!!
