Getting out of school must<br />
have been the best for you?<br />
Absolutely, I was definitely a<br />
misfit. But I wouldn’t encourage<br />
anyone to just drop out of school<br />
- you have definitely got to have a<br />
plan. Mum said as soon as I had a<br />
plan I could sign out.<br />
How did you come up with the<br />
Losers are Cool idea?<br />
It just stemmed from school.<br />
I thought you look around the<br />
classroom and you have your popular<br />
kids, nerdy kids and out-right<br />
losers. The losers end up being the<br />
ones everyone wants to be around<br />
because they are genuinely the<br />
most successful ones.<br />
Do you think people began to<br />
look at you more positively as<br />
you all got older?<br />
Yes definitely, I have people<br />
messaging me now saying: ‘I<br />
know we didn’t get on at school<br />
but what you are doing is awesome.’<br />
You get the support from<br />
those that influenced you to do<br />
this. It makes you feel a lot better.<br />
It all happened for a reason.<br />
What are your other passions?<br />
I work in hospitality as a bar<br />
tender at The Sideline Sports Bar<br />
in Richmond. I do my clothing<br />
line throughout the day. My job<br />
opened my eyes. I have been at the<br />
bar almost four years. I think being<br />
in the hospitality industry and<br />
seeing people from all walks of life<br />
has opened my eyes to equality<br />
issues in society. Everyone should<br />
be themselves and not be put<br />
down.<br />
What do you think of the<br />
Southbridge community?<br />
I love going to my mum’s in<br />
Southbridge. The people there<br />
are genuinely interested in what<br />
everyone is doing. I know you get<br />
the small town stuff but people are<br />
interested in you going far. I like<br />
that aspect of country life. Everyone<br />
is genuinely happy and they<br />
have been supportive to people of<br />
all ages. One of my mum’s friends<br />
bought my own clothing.<br />
During those tough times at<br />
high school how did you overcome<br />
being bullied?<br />
I still get really bad anxiety. You<br />
have just got to remind yourself<br />
you are going in the right direction.<br />
It is hard at high school,<br />
there is the councillor but people<br />
feel intimidated going there<br />
because it seems like they have got<br />
an issue or weak. You have to find<br />
someone to talk to – even if it is<br />
just a teacher you have a comfortable<br />
relationship with. I am a<br />
pretty outgoing person so I didn’t<br />
find it that hard.<br />
Tell me a bit about your sister<br />
Jayde?<br />
At the start of the year she went<br />
to New York Fashion Week. She is<br />
signed with NZ Models & Talent.<br />
They took a group of girls over<br />
there to Australia to do workshops.<br />
She said it was an amazing<br />
experience and opened her eyes<br />
up to the industry. She has left<br />
school end of year 12 as well and<br />
I suppose she is trying to find her<br />
feet. My brother Tyler is in a band<br />
called Idiio. It is short for idiosyncratic<br />
meaning unique. He used<br />
to be in a band in Christchurch<br />
called the Make Believes. I think<br />
we are all pretty creative.<br />
Are there any other plans you<br />
have for the future?<br />
What I really want to do is be<br />
a wedding planner and with my<br />
clothing line I want to make tom<br />
boy wedding apparel. That is my<br />
end goal. I want to do suits but<br />
tailored to fit women better. I<br />
could go into the dresses. I could<br />
make a dress that is more comfortable.<br />
Have you always had an interest<br />
in weddings?<br />
I have always been fascinated<br />
with love I think. It is amazing<br />
and with all this stuff going on<br />
with the lesbian, gay, bisexual,<br />
and transgender community. I<br />
think it is important to try and<br />
embrace and make people feel<br />
comfortable when it comes to<br />
their super special day in the life.<br />
