Now living and faffing about in the UK, former Sydney-sider Christel got thrown into the mix after a cross continental trek ended abruptly in London where she is now based, after only intending to stay for four days.

Christel likes hot air balloons, eggs, foxes, turbans, chong heads, mango apple and peach Rubicon, the swings, colouring in people’s faces and wandering out and about in her pajamas. She likes singing to herself and watching other people sing to themselves when they think no one is looking or listening. She also has a penchant for making terribly inappropriate comments at the most inopportune moments, much to her own snortling amusement.

Christel began to write after a brief rumble with the fashion industry, when she found herself turning to the pen, which she discovered was mightier than the clothes hanger as a weapon of choice. Amongst others, she has worked and/or has written for Wonderland Magazine, Frankie Magazine, Nylon Aus/NZ, Kripy.com, 'Sup Magazine and Dumbo feather Pass It On. Now she joins in the fracas from the front line with all weapons in hand that she still doesn’t know quite what the hell she’s doing with.
