When I first expressed an interest in the mag world, a friend who worked in the industry suggested I not even try – because it was way too hard to break in. I scored a job four weeks later. In a way it was fate. My mum worked in fashion, I loved writing and was obsessed with beauty products. Working at CLEO is amazing. Once a year we travel to an exotic location to shoot summer beauty, plus I get to see every beauty product before they hit the stores and meet the inspirational people behind the brands.

Who, what, where: by CLEO beauty editor Rachael Mannell
The who: Selected beauty editors were invited to meet the new face of Dove, Aussie tennis hunk, Mr Patrick Rafter (who looked as hot as he did when he won the US Open in 1997 and 1998)
The what: Pat launched the new Dove Men+Care range including deodorant, body and face wash, body and face bars and facial cleansers (we think the combined face and body products will do well ‘cause we know guys don’t like complicated beauty regimens!)
The where: The private dining room in the Press Club, Melbourne (made famous by MasterChef judge George Calomaris)
Highlights: Watching Eddy Maguire’s jaw drop as 20 beauty eds walked into The Press Club (which should probably be called The Boys Club), getting up close and personal to have my photo taken with a buffed up Pat Rafter and feasting on Tuna with feta brined watermelon, wasabi, whitebait and ouzo onion. Yum.
Lowlight: When Pat wouldn’t let me have my photo taken on my ‘good side’. Apparently his good side is the same as mine!
