Hey girls, Every year when we pick the Fujifilm instax Cover Star winner, I'm always a little nervous about meeting her. What will she be like? Will she be friendly? Will we get along? Well, I should know by now that I don't need to be concerned because It GiRL readers are truly the best and our 2023 winner Siena was no exception! I first met Siena at a dinner with her parents the night before the shoot. Siena was a little shy at first, but that's okay because I think I was too. But it didn't take long for us both to come out of our shells and before you know it we were getting along like old friends. Then, the next day we had so much fun at…

SOFIA IS PROUD OF HER HERITAGE Actress Sofia Wylie talks about what it was like growing up half African-American and half Korean. “I definitely felt very, very different growing up and very isolated because of those differences,” she shared. “All of my friends were blue-eyed and had straight hair, and I was none of those things. And I think it’s really natural to want to change yourself to fit in, because we all want to belong, especially when you’re so young.” Today Sofia knows that her differences are what make her special. “I’ve seen so much more beauty in my differences and how it can be a superpower rather than a weakness.” HALLE REVEALS FAVE SONG FROM THE LITTLE MERMAID When The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey was asked which…

I’m grateful for the people who like me for me, and keep me separated from all the noise and tabloids or what people are saying about me on social media.

MESSY SISTER I was out having lunch with my older brother and two of his friends. One of them is very cute and I always get a bit shy when he’s around. I was trying not to make a mess while I ate, but when I took a bite out of my burger the whole thing fell apart and went all over me! My brother and his mates thought it was hilarious and laughed. I was so embarrassed that I spent a long time cleaning myself up in the girls’ toilets. At least when we got home Mum told my brother off for laughing at me! SIMONA, 13, NSW MUD BATH It was recess and I was walking to the canteen with my friends. One of the boys from my…

When I was filming in Toronto we went to this super cool thrift store in Kensington and we got a bunch of vintage shirts.” “I look at old pictures of my mum and the way she would wear her outfits.

ARRIVAL, ELSEWHERE The murderer arrived by boat. He came gently, with a soft tread and beautifully clean hands. He strode past a group of men and women hauling in a catch of fire-fish, his knife out of sight in his pocket. They glanced round at him, but he only nodded at them, and they forgot him as soon as he passed out of sight, which was as he intended. He was a professional: he had spent years perfecting the careful art of forgettability. His hair was neither long nor short, and his shoes had been polished to exactly the shine that attracts no comment. His eyes, which were as dark and cold as the bottom of the sea, settled on nothing for very long. Until, that fine day, they settled…
