Ripple Effect

I am so excited to be writing my first blog in the new ‘Actor’ section of my website. I actually designed my website when I was in hospital in the middle of my chemotherapy. I knew I was about to lose my left leg to bone cancer and that my life was about to become unrecognisable so I spent time with my mum figuring out what my new life might look like. In a way I guess we designed a new dream.

I’d always wanted to be a sportswoman so we added an Amputee Athlete section. I’d always wanted to be a model so we added a Diversity Model section, and I’d always loved to travel so we added a Travel Blogger section. The whole process gave me hope, and my website was actually up and ready to go while I was still fighting for my life. Looking back I realise how clever my mum was. She’d just decided that I was going to survive and she’d decided I was going to have an incredible future, and I believed her, and that’s what’s happened.

I won the Golden Boot at the World Cup in Colombia. I became a para swimmer. I walked London Fashion Week. I modelled for Primark. I travelled the world looking for the best ski destination. I did indeed achieve all of those initial dreams and more. And as much as I’ve enjoyed the past few years saying yes to absolutely everything and grabbing every new opportunity that came my way, I’ve started to realise my heart is being pulled in one direction over all of the others.

I think it started when I performed at Eurovision in front of 180 million viewers. I found the whole thing so magical. Everything that went on behind the scenes. All of the rehearsals. All of the notes you’d get about your performance that needed perfecting. The buzz. The extravagance. The literal razzle dazzle of it all.

Being with like-minded people who want to give the performance of a lifetime. I just felt like I belonged. And there were no nerves. Knowing we were going live to 180 million viewers didn’t scare me at all, I just couldn’t wait to perform.

I felt exactly the same way when I was going live on BBC Breakfast talking about the World Cup and when I was a guest on Channel 4’s New Year’s Eve Last Leg Programme. I loved the buzz of it all. In fact every time I have been in front of a camera I’ve loved it more and more. I think maybe, with the actual acting side of things, it’s the idea that I can live many different lives. Having almost lost my own life I want to squeeze as much living out of my time on this planet as I possible can, so what a wonderful way to do that by living the lives of many different people on screen.

I spoke to my wonderful agency ZBD Talent about moving the focus from modelling into acting and they’ve been so incredibly supportive. They told me to take as many lessons as I could and ensure my American Accent was top notch. So that’s what I’ve been doing. And I’ve been loving it. I’m currently having two acting lessons a week and American Accent coaching when I have an American script come in… and the variety of self tapes ZBD have secured for me is just brilliant!!

Now, I must be doing something right as I am currently under NDA for a mind-blowingly sensational series that’s coming out in December this year. Yes I have 4 words. Yes my screentime is about 4 seconds. But I’m in it! I was on set! I was in hair and makeup next to the main characters! There were food trucks! I had my own trailer! I was picked up by a Mercedes S-Class every morning! And that’s all I can say for now, but it absolutely confirmed to me that this is what I want to do with my life. I want to be an actor.

I want to be an actor.

So here is the new section of my website: ‘Actor.’ And the first acting job that I can tell you about is the Chase Bank Commercial that I filmed in May:

Now the wonderful director Billy Boyd Cape has given me permission to share the audition process and my audition tape. So the way it works is like this. You get an email from your agency with a self-tape request and instructions on what you have to film. This one said:

We would love to request a self-tape please: Role: JO

SELF-TAPE DETAILS:

Film in a medium close-up – waist to head – so we can clearly see your face and upper body.

INTRODUCTION

Begin with a short introduction to camera: Tell us your name and where you’re based.

SCENE:

We would then like you to film / improvise the following scene.

Jo is gathering their things from the locker room after their football match has finished.

Leaving the locker room spotless – collecting bottles, brushing down surfaces and bagging spare bibs.

They are wearing their muddy kit still.

They leave the room; slinging their bags over their shoulder.

We see from their attitude that they are lively and jovial.

On the way out of the building Jo sees their mate Ryan who has been playing in another match…

Ryan is weighed down by one too many bags.

Jo quickly steps forward saying “I got you”.

Jo takes one of the bags off Ryan without being asked.

Jo flicks the light switch off with their elbow as they leave.

AND THAT’S IT!

Now anyone who has an agent will know, you get tons and tons of self-tapes and it’s really hard to know how long to spend on them. Obviously you try your very best to give a flavour of what you can do, but on average it’s suggested that:

Newer actors: Often 50–100+ auditions/self-tapes per booking.
Experienced actors: Closer to 1 booking per 20–50 auditions.
Seasoned pros: Sometimes 1 in 10.

So when you flick the light switch at the end of the scene and the lights turn on instead of off you need to decide if it warrants a re-take.

Now I’d already filmed this twice with my mum tripping over herself as she tried to walk backwards to get me in shot, so when the lights flicked on instead of off, I left it. It was good enough. And it must have been, as a week later I got an in-person call back in Manchester. The difference with in-person call backs is that they’re paid, so you know you’re in with an actual chance.

I took myself off to Manchester (no I didn’t, my mum drove, she drives me everywhere, unfortunately not in a Mercedes S-Class) but off to Manchester we went where I met Billy Boyd Cape himself and various other people from production and Chase Bank.

I had to re-enact my self tape but with more actual direction. I acted alongside a male character called Ryan and we were asked to chat about our football matches as we cleared away the changing rooms. And that was it, they said I’d hear shortly.

Now the thing that happens next is you either get ‘pencilled’ or ‘optioned’ (they mean the same thing) or you get released. If you’re pencilled it means they really like you and you need to hold the shoot dates and can’t book any other jobs until you’re either confirmed or released.

Two days after my recall I was pencilled and five days after that I was booked… and when you get that email from your agent saying you’re booked the only thing you can do is email back a big: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Now that’s what I do with my agent. I have no clue if that’s professional or the done thing, but I do it as it really is a WOOOOOOOO moment! And then you wait for details.

My part in the advert was shot over an 8 hour day on-set. Again there were food trucks and trailers and massive cameras everywhere. Again, I felt that absolute buzz that this is where I belong. Everyone was so lovely, supportive and friendly and then to see the advert playing between World Cup Matches and in the IMAX before The Odyssey, is literally the craziest thing ever.

So thank you so much to Billy Boyd Cape and everyone at Chase Bank for the opportunity. I’ve loved every second of it.

I can also announce that I’ve been booked for another show filming in September that I am so excited for – a very small part and a modelling focus, but tons of fun, and I’m waiting to hear about a Netflix series that will absolutely launch my career if I get it!

I guess I’m just having the time of my life, and if I do have a successful acting career I’ll be having the time of so many different lives, which after what I’ve been through, is a total and utter miracle. So thank you to all of the people who continue to clap for me. I see you and I’ll remember you when I’m on that red carpet.

Chase your dreams, people, they might just come true.

Rhodes – Greece

On my quest to find travel destinations that are easy for amputees, I have found somewhere sensational! The Mitsis Faliraki is a 5 star, all-inclusive resort that has everything you could possibly need within a really walkable distance.

If you book directly with the hotel (definitely recommend as EasyJet flights are so cheap) they provide you with a free transfer to and from the airport… and it’s not just any old taxi, it’s a gorgeous SUV – think the type of thing you’d get to travel to your Primary School prom!

I’d advise you choose a sea-view room as the balcony gets sun throughout the day and the views are just spectacular. Plus the distance from the lifts to all of the sea-view rooms is absolutely fine.

The hotel itself is quite small, which is perfect. The walk to the beach from the pool take less than 1 minute, as does the walk around the pool to the bar and the pancake / ice cream stands. This video gives a good insight into what the hotel has to offer:

Now the cool bit. Faliraki is right on your doorstep. I mean, literally steps away. We walked down the main strip most evenings and took the little train a couple of times if we wanted to go further afield.

So for anyone wanting great nightlife, tacky shops, tons of fast-food eateries, then the location is perfect.

But likewise, anyone wanting traditional Rhodes with gorgeous trips to beautiful bays and old towns then this location is also just as perfect. Peter’s Watersports, located right on the beach at the hotel have so many wonderful trips. We hired a speedboat and visited many of the bays along the coast. Anthony Quinn was my favourite.

I’ve been working so hard recently and had so much on, that this break was exactly what I needed to just relax and refresh, and I will definitely be back. 10/10 for the Mitsis Faliraki!

I was busy sunning myself on holiday in Rhodes when I got an email notification: Annabel Kiki, I am delighted to let you know that you’ve been recognised in the RAISE Power 100 in Women’s Sport 2026: a list of individuals shaping the future of the women’s sport industry.

Annabel Kiki in the RAISE Power 100 in Women’s Sport

Like what??!!! I scanned the list, the likes of Serena Williams, Emma Hayes, Ian Wright and Karen Carney were on there. What an absolute honour! They’d said I was a powerful voice for inclusion and accessibility in sport and that I was inspiring a new generation to challenge barriers, embrace resilience and believe that sport should be accessible to everyone.

I put down my Shirely Temple and literally did a one legged bomb into the pool with my family! For some reason I found it really funny that little old me was on a list with such epic epic epic people. I am certainly not as important or influential as any of the big names, but I guess it shows that I must be doing something right!

Even just parading around the holiday pool in my bikini with my prosthetic leg on show, then taking it off to proudly bomb in the pool, or showing people on the beach that I too can ride the banana boat, or frantically pedal a pedalo over the waves.

Plus my family did remind me that I’d won the Golden Boot at the very first women’s amputee football World Cup in Colombia and that I’d just got two silver medals at a National Para Swim competition after becoming the County and Regional Champion, not to mention being the only person globally who skies on their Genium X 3 prosthetic leg, so maybe I am indeed playing my part in raising the profile of women’s sport.

Either way I’m incredibly proud of the recognition and I just hope my continued visibility encourages young girls and women to be proud of who they are and to grab every opportunity they’re given.

I truly believe in the idea of; “If you can see it, you can be it.”

Annabel Kiki – Dare to Dream Winner

A couple of months ago I heard I was a finalist in the 2026 Children of Courage Awards. My gorgeous friends Lily and Jess had seen some footage of the previous year’s ceremony and decided to nominate me in the ‘Dare to Dream’ category.

Annabel Kiki with her friends Jess and Lily.

I thought it was such a sweet gesture and it really made me smile, but if I’m honest, I’ve not felt like a child for a very long time. In fact my childhood ended age 13 when I heard the words: “You have cancer. You’re going to lose your leg.”

If I’m honest, I’ve not felt like a child for a very long time.

It took my mum saying to me: “But you are still a child, Annabel, you’re only 17,” for me to feel comfortable enough to accept the nomination. I guess I’ve never viewed myself as a courageous child. I think I just accepted that my childhood ended abruptly one random Monday morning 4 years ago. And yes, in those 4 years I’ve managed to survive, A LOT, but I had no choice.

Anyway, I attended the awards excited to support all of the children who’d shown greater courage than I had. I had no speech planned, I was just there to enjoy the red carpet, the gorgeous three course meal and the extravagant raffle!

The hosts asked everyone nominated to come to the stage and I was the tallest by far, even amongst the adult chaperones!

And then came the results. There were some truly wonderful finalists in the ‘Dare to Dream’ category and I was so honoured to stand beside them… and I honestly couldn’t believe it when they called my name. Annabel Kiki winner of the 2026 Children of Courage Award!

In that moment I think I accepted that maybe I had shown some courage, and maybe the courage I’d shown could inspire other children to do the same. I knew I wanted to say something along those lines, and I think my words actually came out quite coherently!

The evening really did mean so much to me. I’ve had to be so tough and it’s been such a long journey. I’m just so grateful that I’ve had such wonderful friends and family to support me along the way.

I want to give a massive shout out to everyone involved with the awards, especially all of the finalists and winners. Life can be so tough, but with a bit of courage we’ll get there.

I had so much fun modelling over 30 different outfits for Primark!

Annabel Kiki Models for Primark

And it wasn’t even a dedicated adaptive shoot, as I also modelled many outfits that hid my leg:

Primark are simply a brand who want to represent everyone and be inclusive of everything. Booking an amputee model with a prosthetic leg is quite a big statement, unless it’s not a statement at all.

Booking an amputee model with a prosthetic leg is quite a big statement, unless it’s not a statement at all.

I simply got booked because I’m a model and I appear on the Primark website alongside all the other models, and this is exactly how it should be done. Primark are getting it right. This is how inclusive fashion works.

Primark are getting it right. This is how inclusive fashion works.

The day was a total blast and the people were so much fun. A big shoutout to Kirsty McNulty the photographer, Victoria Mercer the makeup artist, who also made my hair look really cool, Lucy Hallard the Stylist and Nick Simpson the creative director.

Primark Model Annabel Kiki

Things I must remember for next time, just like I always wear my best knickers to shoots, I need to remember to wear my best little leg liner! I was on auto pilot that morning and just yanked on my leg, not quite realising my bottom… and my slightly raggidy prosthetic leg liner would soon be all over the internet. Some careful hand placement hid the rip though!

Prosthetic Leg Primark Model Annabel Kiki

All of the outfits I modelled were totally gorgeous and I’ll definitely be taking some of the looks away with me next week to Rhodes. There are too many to post here but these shots give you a flavour of the fashion I was lucky enough to model:

I am so grateful to be represented by ZBD Talent, the world’s leading inclusive talent agency who are helping brands create work that is genuinely inclusive. Primark got it right with this shoot and I am beyond honoured to have been selected as one of their models.

Well, since my last blog on swimming classification things have moved fast!! I entered the Staffordshire County Swimming Championships and won Gold in the 100m back, 100m free, 50m back and 50m free, all with new personal bests!

I was then invited onto Sam Fletcher’s wonderful BBC Sport Radio Show where we discussed how much fun I was having in this new world of swimming:

…and something must have sparked the interest of BBC TV because the next thing I knew I was being filmed for a news segment! If I’m honest it wasn’t really about my swimming prowess (I’m still just a novice) but more about how I’m moving from the very top of one sport – Golden Boot Winner at the Women’s Amputee Football World Cup – to the bottom of another – para swimming.

I then made my way to my first big para swim event at the Welsh National Pool in Swansea… and what an eye opener that was! I actually found myself in the fastest heat for the 50m Free alongside the current World Record Holder Callie-Ann Warrington S10, and other Paralympic medalists – all of them had the proper speed swimsuits and racing hats and I was just there in my swimming cossie from Amazon! But I think I did okay? I didn’t get a PB but I was the 4th fastest S9 swimmer which isn’t bad given the fact I’ve only been classified for 4 months!

However, what I am quickly learning is that you don’t get to race against people in your classification, until you compete internationally! I assumed I’d go to these para meets and swim in a race with all of the other S9 swimmers and have the challenge of moving from 4th best S9 swimmer into a medal position… but it doesn’t work like that at all!

You race against people with a similar time to you, so you could be in a race with an S10, an S7, an S14 e.t.c and your time is then converted into para points. The closer you are the to World Record in your classification the more para points you get. So I could lose the race but win the medal… stay with me!

Here’s an example: If I swam closer to the S9 World Record than the faster S10 swimmer who beat me in our race, but wasn’t as close to the S10 World Record… I would get more para points – confusing I know!! But it essentially means I am not in competition with the other S9 swimmers, I am in competition with ALL the other para swimmers regardless of their classification! I assumed Swim GB would take the best swimmers from each classification S1-S14 to international competitions, but they don’t, they rightly take the ones who are closest to the World Record, the ones who have the most para points.

So if I did want to take my swimming journey further, then SERIOUS work needs to be done. But I’m currently just enjoying the fun of the adventure and as I explained to the inspirational Xavier Wiggins: I’m learning it’s okay to be happy where you are in sport, it’s okay not to be the best and not to want to be the best, to just enjoy the journey.

I’m learning it’s okay to be happy where you are in sport, it’s okay not to be the best and not to want to be the best, to just enjoy the journey.

Have I got what it takes to get to the top in swimming, maybe? But have I got the time at the moment, absolutely not! I have such huge respect for all of these para swimmers and it’s been so wonderful dipping my toe into their world, but they’re there because of the hours they put in, because it’s their lifelong dream, because they’re dedicated and committed and focused… whereas I’m still figuring out who I am and in what direction I want to take my life – there’s just so much fun to be had and so many opportunities keep coming my way! I’m obviously still going to sign up to all the competitions and keep trying to improve my PB, but training more than 3 times a week just isn’t possible at the moment.

I do, however, love the fact my story is inspiring others to just live life and say yes to adventure. I was actually eating breakfast in a gorgeous Hilton Hotel the morning of my first day on set as an actor (I’ve had to sign an NDA so no spoilers here) when BBC Breakfast ran the piece nationally and I just smiled and thought: what a crazy life I live!

… and an update from 4th May 2026: I AM NOW THE REGIONAL CHAMPION!!! I won Gold and got a new personal best in the 50m free!

The PERFECT ski resort

Well, it’s taken 4 years, and 4 ski blogs: Snowdome, Bulgaria, Les Deux Alpes, and Alpe d’Huez, but I’ve done it! I’ve finally found the PERFECT ski resort for anyone who loses their leg and needs to re-learn to ski! I’ve also found the perfect ski resort for anyone who just loves long, wide, greens and blues, everyone who loves luxury, and anyone who wants an actual taste of heaven! Les Arcs 2000 is EVERYTHING!!

I’m going to start with the hotel. Book this once and you will never book anywhere else ever again! Literally, it is that phenomenal! The Taj-I Mah is the most spectacular ski hotel I have ever stayed in.

The Taj-I Mah is the most spectacular ski hotel I have ever stayed in.

Genuine ski-in, ski-out, a ski hire shop inside the hotel that have your skis ready outside for you each morning, stunning rooms, a gorgeous spa, an alpine bar with open fires, a delicious restaurant, shops and restaurants right outside, a free gondola down to 1950 that stays open late, and the friendliest of owners with the biggest of smiles on their faces.

Here are a few clips that I’ve put together so you can get a feel for the hotel:

And the lady behind the magic who had us checked in early and was on hand for any help we needed was the fabulous Karine Gasparyan, a true credit to the Les Etincelles brand:

Now, onto the skiing… IT IS PERFECT!! I can’t stress this enough… IT IS PERFECT!! The Paradiski area is massive (and this is just half of it):

…and if you spot Arc 2000 on the left where I was staying, and then look at Vallandry 1600 on the right of the map, you’ll be able to see just how far I could get with one leg! No longer am I simply trying to find a couple of runs that work for me, I’m back skiing exactly as I was before, and that’s due to the incredible network of wide, gentle blues that connect the whole area. It felt magical and I felt truly free:

There were so many activities that I was looking forward to doing in Les Arcs – the two luge runs at Arc 2000 and Arc 1800, the massive zip wire, the crystal caves, but I just didn’t have time as I was too busy skiing. I really felt ‘back.’ My family and I were able to ski as we used to – plan the route at breakfast and stay out all day… and I even managed a couple of red sections!

I think this might be my last ski blog as I know I’ll be coming back here for many years. But I’ve done it. I’ve found somewhere I can ski like I used to, where having a prosthetic leg makes no difference to me or my family whatsoever. No words will ever be able to describe what that feels like.

I feel truly blessed to have been taught to ski at 3, a bit annoyed that I lost my leg at 13, but I guess it’s all worked out in the end, and I’ll always, always, always be grateful for the positives in my life… and finding Les Arc 2000 and the Taj-I Mah is one of them!

For Children’s Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza

I debated where to put this blog on my website and decided it was more modelling (role modelling) than travelling or sports – it’s not a perfect fit, but I wanted to chart this really cool part of my life.

Bridget Phillipson, Annabel Kiki and Dame Rachel de Souza

Back in Nov 2024 Dame Rachel de Souza, the Children’s Commissioner for England, happened to be watching BBC Breakfast when a segment on me winning the Golden Boot at the World Cup in Colombia was played:

She said she saw me talking with such passion and such hope that she just had to meet me! So I was invited to the Department for Education in Dec 2024 and we met for the first time:

I must have made a good impression, despite being caught in a massive rain storm moments before I entered the building, because she invited me to apply to be one of her Youth Ambassadors… and by Jan 2025 I was in position!

Children’s Commissioner Youth Ambassadors

The job so far has been incredible and I’ve felt so privileged on so many different occasions… and I do actually feel like I’ve managed to make a difference to children’s lives already. Whether that be through talking on a panel with Andy Burnham and Baroness Cass, ensuring – through my own personal testimony – that all schools support the needs of all students:

Or hosting a podcast with Ali Oliver from Youth Sport Trust about the importance of inclusion in sport:

Or talking to Josh Pelled the CEO of Bright Futures UK what children need to stay connected to their education when they’re away from school due to long-term illness:

But I think my favourite moment so far has been hosting a podcast with Lord Nash about the proposed social media ban for Under 16’s. If you’re going to give one of the podcasts a listen I’d definitely make it this one as it’s such an important area for everyone to get right:

I think this podcast really highlighted why it’s so important to include children in discussions about their future… and that’s what being a Youth Ambassador to the Children’s Commissioner enables… our voices are heard at the very top level of decision making.

That’s what being a Youth Ambassador to the Children’s Commissioner enables… our voices are heard at the very top level of decision making.

On a superficial level I’ve loved whizzing around London to meetings on my Lime scooter and the commute has thankfully always been easy:

Another element I enjoyed was recording video content about the various research reports that were being published. The idea was so visual learners didn’t have to sift through lots of paperwork to find out what was going on… but for some reason the videos were never used, so I’ll put one below simply because it took me ages to learn the lines and get right in one take! Great practice for my acting career though so no harm done! This video was due to run alongside the research report that made clear the urgent need to protect children from the harms of online pornography:

I’ve taken part in ministerial round tables with people like Minister Gould, discussing how schools can work better for children with additional needs, I’ve been involved in SEND panels, Big Conversation conversations, discussions about the assisted dying bill… there’s simply too much to list here – but how wonderful that it’s been so busy and so full on – exactly how I like to live my life!

Thank you to Dame Rachel de Souza for including me in her wonderful Youth Ambassadors Programme. It’s a real honour.

Finally classified!

I am thrilled to announce I have finally been classified in para swimming. From my first para training camp on 7th Jan 2024 I’ve filled in forms, shown I can swim (on numerous camps), gone to land training and medicals and competed in a para gala where I was finally classified as an S9 swimmer. Now, I could have told you back on Jan 7th 2024, that I’d very likely be an S9 swimmer as most above-knee-amputees tend to be S9 swimmers, and I was pretty confident that my leg wasn’t going to grow back… but I followed the process anyway and here I am.

If I’m honest I think one of my forms must have got lost on someone’s desk back in early 2024 as the actual classification day (once I finally managed to get it booked in) was so quick and easy. I had my little leg measured to see what percent was missing, I was then watched in the pool for about 20 minutes and that was it… S9.

I’ve also been categorised as S8 in breaststroke but I can’t stand the breaststroke and very much doubt I’ll race it competitively… it’s impossible to do the frog leg kick with only one leg! But following my observation in the pool I took part in my first para gala that afternoon:

Since then I have competed in two mainstream galas with my swimming club and won 4 more Gold medals! (Still nothing for the breaststroke!)

I’m really enjoying the training and competing… but oh my goodness it’s a whole new world!!!! Who knew you could only wear FINA approved swimsuits? Who knew Crocs were such a fashion statement poolside (literally everyone has them and the coolest swimmers have the most Croc charms!) Who knew you needed camp chairs and dryrobes, and what’s with all the slapping of the skin and banging on the dive boards??? I do feel very out-of-my-depth (wink) and it’s all so different from the football pitch, but I seem to be doing okay and rising up the para S9 swim rankings.

Will I be at the 2028 LA Olympics? I very much doubt it… but Brisbane 2032, you betcha!

2025 modelling job highlights

Where is the time going? As we end another year I thought I’d blog about a couple of my favourite modelling jobs from 2025. Obviously my very first London Fashion Week walking the runway for Hengi Wang was a massive highlight, as was Birmingham Fashion Week and all of those stairs… but I never imagined I’d end up in Vogue Italia, but that’s where I found myself at the end of 2025!

I was lucky enough to be selected by Zebedee Talent (my agency) for an editorial shoot they hoped would confront the recent Sydney Sweeney ‘great jeans’ controversy. The original advert had the tagline: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans” (meaning both denim and genetics). The visuals were Sydney, known for her “American” look (blonde hair, blue eyes), modelling the jeans. Some people suggested that there was a double meaning, that the ad used her appearance to imply her “genes” (beauty) are as good as her jeans, while also suggesting the jeans are great.

Now, if I’m totally honest I think she looks incredible and I think it was potentially just a pun that wasn’t properly thought through… but I was honoured that I could be part of the response with my tagline: “When are brands going to realise that perfection is overrated? Resilience is the real flex. Great jeans aren’t about your DNA, they’re about owning your story. I have one leg and I can still make denim my runway.”

True diversity in fashion definitely doesn’t exist yet and we have such a long way to go, but I feel so proud to be part of an agency and team of wonderful models who are pushing for change, and what a sensational photographer we had: Sam Binstead.

Another highlight this year was working with Steve Madden. I was invited to his London Loft Party where I had SO MUCH FUN! He’d sent me a pair of boots before the evening that I wore on the night…

…and I received another pair of shoes on the evening that I had tattooed with a personal logo. I am now also appearing in a lot of his online Christmas commercials from footage that was filmed throughout the party. Here’s a link to my BTS fun:

It really was a wild experience!

I am so excited to see what 2026 brings! Bring on the adventure!
