Melbourne Muck Up Day Terror!

The staff of the Melbourne office had a lucky escape today as the streets of Melbourne were terrorised by a group of unidentified school girls.

The marauding teenagers, some confusing young children by dressing up as Ronald McDonald, were celebrating annual “muck up day”. Others, dressed as boxes of popcorn chanted "people wanna know...people wanna know, who we are. who we are".

Well we’d like to know who these youngsters parents are. And why they aren’t locked up. Too terrified to leave the office for at least 7 minutes, we managed to catch three exclusive videos from our office window. This is the only one we can publish as the others are just too frightening.

Herald Sun story on Annaleise Smith

Tall order for Annaleise Smith who never dreamed of international fame

Shelley Hadfield From: Herald Sun October 16, 2010

AS A child, Annaleise Smith was self-conscious about her height.

Always the tallest girl in her age group, Annaleise would lean, or hunch her back, to look as short as possible.

Now the rising star of the modelling world parades on the catwalks of Paris, Milan and New York after she caught the eye of a Chadwicks talent scout, who saw her leaving Melbourne Central station with her mum.

Just over a year ago, the 180cm Parkdale beauty had never left Australia and never thought she'd even be able to go to the US. Last month Annaleise was the talk of New York Fashion Week, where she opened for designer Joseph Altuzarra.

She then went to Europe, doing shows for Emporio Armani, Kenzo and Laura Biagiotti, as well as a host of cult labels.

She has also done an intimate show for Zac Posen and work for Monique L'Huillier, Fifth Avenue and Satch, as well as shoots for publications such as Mirage, French Grazia, A and Vice.

"I wouldn't have been able to travel the world if I wasn't this tall," Annaleise says.

For her mum, Kathy, it is almost unbelievable that her daughter could walk a runway.

"She was extremely shy. I can't emphasise that enough. She used to hide behind my legs everywhere we went," Mrs Smith said.

Annaleise recalls her nerve-racking first show in Melbourne three years ago.

"I just remember that was the first time I had someone put makeup on my face," she said. "I probably looked like a deer in the headlights. I was thinking of how I'm supposed to look when I'm doing this."

Speaking from Paris, the unassuming 19-year-old played down her recent success, saying there were so many others doing well.

"It is really nice to know I'm not a struggling model trying to make it. At the same time, there's still going to be rejection," she said.

Annaleise is signed with international agency Women, but says she hasn't set out to be a supermodel.

"It isn't a goal. If I do well it's going to be nice when it happens, but otherwise I'm happy to be here. We'll wait and see I guess," she said.

Chadwicks' Matthew Anderson says Annaleise is on the radar of some powerful people in the fashion industry, with magazine editors and casting agents in Paris and New York clamouring for her.

Her proud mum says she is much more than a pretty face- she's good and honest.

Annaleise says of herself: "I'm very much a homebody. I love staying home and watching a movie or baking."

Annaleise says the slick fashion shows that are beamed across the world are so different from the craziness that happens backstage.

But what has surprised her the most has been the people.

The models are "sweet girls", not like the depictions in shows like America's Next Top Model.

"We are all in the same boat ... Everyone's living away from home, sometimes with a bunch of girls they have never met before. We all know what it's like to be away from what we are familiar with. I have not really had to deal with any bitchiness at all, really," she said.

Annaleise says there is a glamorous side to this world that has swept her up - the outfits, the designers and even celebrities.

But there are also 14-hour days, running between multiple castings, makeup sessions and "getting your hair fried".
