Gemma Ward

[Faith Akiyama]

Great to see you back acester!

 

[acester]

thanks for a wonderful welcome back

I'm slowly remembering. I'm not sure still...

but, I get my new laptop on Monday, so I will connect my scanner to it soon and I'll be able to scan some really cool photos of her with Amy Finlayson and Jesse Gomes and Nicole Trunfio

OH I REMEMBER NOW!!!!!

I was going through my old Vogues, I found Gemma Hawaii issue from September 2004. I found in the travel section a really small photo of Gemma surfing (she looks so cute!!!) and there's a mention of her encouraging the writer to surf.

unfortunately I left it at my other home

and is this new?

Model Gemma Ward Leaps Around and Gets Naked

Name: Gemma Ward
Age: 19
Job: Model-actress
Neighborhood: East Village, but on the move …

Who's your favorite New Yorker, living or dead, real or fictional?
Bob Dylan.

What's the best meal you've eaten in New York?
I have had my fair share of four-hour lunches at La Bottega at the Maritime Hotel, but it's a great hang and the margherita pizza is fantastic.

In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job?
Drink coffee and read the paper while getting hair, makeup, and nails done, get undressed, get dressed, pose, leap, laugh, get undressed, eat lunch, touch-ups, get dressed, get undressed, get dressed. etc. etc. etc.

Where do you get your coffee?
The Australian cafe Ruby's on Mott Street. You can't beat an Australian flat white.

What's the last thing you saw on Broadway?
The Producers. Very funny.

Do you give money to panhandlers?
Yes, to the local guy who I see every day and I have a soft spot for.

What's your drink?
Vodka anything or rosé at lunch.

How often do you prepare your own meals?
Not often enough.

What's your favorite medication?
Tylenol PM.

What's hanging above your sofa?
A collection of antique mirrors and pictures.

How much is too much to spend on a haircut?
I'm very privileged to not have to pay for haircuts because I get my hair cut by friends who are hairdressers or on set.

When's bedtime?
I don't have much of a say in that as my body is perpetually jet-lagged.

Brunch: pro or con?
Major pro! There's nothing better than a New York Sunday brunch …

What's your thread count?
I don't know. I don't count my threads.

What do you hate most about living in New York?
Sirens and rubbish trucks at five o'clock in the morning.

What's your brand of jeans?
Tsubi.

When's the last time you drove a car?
When I was 16 on a friend's vineyard in Australia, but I nearly drove the thing into a dam so I've given up. I love that I don't need to drive in New York — it's all about walking, cabs, and the subway.

Who should be the next president?
Al Gore.

Times, Post, or Daily News?
I subscribe to the New York Times online so I keep up to date while on the move with updates sent to my phone, but I can't help a little peek of "Page Six" in the Post every now and then!

Yankees or Mets?
No answer. It’s too political.

What makes someone a New Yorker?
If you talk fast, walk fast, eat fast, and have a caffeine and BlackBerry addiction, you're a New Yorker in my books.

WHERE'S WARD?

DON'T expect to see Gemma Ward on the catwalks this season - the supermodel is taking a two-month sabbatical from modelling to star in The Black Balloon, a film set in her native Australia. We told you last September that the 19-year-old was keen to pursue a career in film, after making her debut in 2001's Pink Pyjamas, and it seems her dream is now becoming reality. One of the highest profile models in the world, Ward opened many of the major shows last season and her elfin looks will certainly be missed this year. She plans to bypass every show except for Paris's ready-to-wear collections. The face of numerous campaigns, including Calvin Klein, Prada and Yves Saint Laurent, Ward shot to fame at the age of 16, when she was the youngest chosen to be in a Vogue shoot of nine It-girls of the modelling world, including Daria Werbowy, Gisele Bdchen and Karolina Kurkova. Just months later, British photographer Nick Knight described her as, "one of the very, very few models who look as though they come from another dimension". Speaking of her forthcoming foray into the film world, Ward's spokeswoman told WWD: "She's having a riot as it's a project she's been working on for years and it's an all-Australian crew." The film, directed by Elissa Down and starring Toni Colette, is about an adolescent boy's struggle to deal with his autistic brother. Ward takes on the role of the adolescent's girlfriend, Jackie.
