Hi. My name is Jo and I worked in a button factory the other day… OK – I didn’t really. BUT when I was in school, my friends sang this song to me and I think the button/fashion thing seeped into my subconscious, because all I wanted was to work at a magazine! Two degrees and a year frolicking overseas later and I was ready to start my dream. After dabbling on the web and trying my luck as a stylist, I’m now settled as lifestyle editor – a job that keeps me entertained, fulfilled and more importantly, happy!

Doesn't get much bigger (or badder) than this

Ok - time for another update from the party circuit. Last night I went to what should have been the most amazing, unforgettable night ever. It turned out to be unforgettable - only not for the reasons one would hope.

It was the latest LG mobile launch - LG always does the most amazing parties, so I went all out preparing for the night – primping, preening and getting 100% psyched. On the way there, I met up with my fellow journo pal Sarah - who said word on the street was Chris Noth was going to be there. You know, Mr Big, A.K.A gorgeous dreamboat from Sex and the City.

The rumour was true and there he was in the flesh - sexier than ever. This is where things took a downward twist. Sarah begged me to fight through the crowds of media and celebs to the front of the stage where he was standing. And I am talking pushing camera crews and reporters out of the way. Hell, I even hip-and-shouldered Jen Hawkins to get to the front.

That’s where everything spiralled out of control. I, CLEO's lifestyle editor, went to take the photo of Sarah and her idol, and accidentally took a photo of myself. Ok - not even me - just my eye.

I know, I know, you're thinking 'what the?'... and so was I. How many photos a week do I take for facebook and yet, at the most important photo moment ever, managed to have this MASSIVE a tech mishap.

So that was last night. It's a full 12 hours later and needless to say Sarah still ain't that happy with me. Actually I am guessing she's not that happy with me because so far she hasn't returned my calls.
