I still can't get over how great everyone looks.
It was such a great experience to be part of the Lovers Campaign, Jakk and I still reminisce about it!
Emma asked how we won - I sent in a photo of us from Las Vegas, with a short description of why our love rocks.
Cos it does.

Boom - we were one of the lucky couples!
I'll be honest and say I didn't think we had a chance, we're a butch/femme dyke couple and I don't look like a typical Mimco model (plus-sized and tattoos).
The Mimco people were an amazing bunch, and it turned out they were looking for diverse representations of women for their campaign - yep, we're pretty diverse!
Part of the prize included being put up in The Olsen Art Hotel in South Yarra, Melbourne (fancy), getting hair and makeup done everyday for the shoots and a $2000 voucher to spend on Mimco stuff.
I liked Mimco before - but their company's approach towards their customers has made me huge fan!
I hope you got a giggle out of the photos too,

You guys look incredible and I think its fantastic that Mimco have gone for diversity and picked real people for there models!
Aww thanks Moxie!
Yay! I just got the email from Mimco and squealed when I saw you two! The other thing I really loved about this campaign was that there was no back-patting - you know, "look how diverse and tolerant we are" like some companies do. It's just recognizing the spread that exists in society. Loved it.
Gorgeous photos! Congrats.
Those pics are awesome! It's nice to see real women portrayed as powerful and sexy in a culture that glorifies unhealthy and improbable bodies.
INCREDIBLE! You guys look amazing!! Seriously, total drool-worthy photo set. What an amazing experience!
I absolutely agree! You and Jakk look awsome! Congrats on winning!
