Hey Girl Powerettes!
Somedays what you put on in the morning can totally transform your mood. For instance, I woke up this morning feeling a bit tired and grumpy. Solution? A brightly coloured tee, my fave denim shorts, tights and a dash of perfume. I felt instantly better!
In her song ‘Fashion’ kooky dresser Lady Gaga sings “Fashion, I am anyone you want me to be.” Although we’re not as brave with our own fashion choices, we totally agree with Gaga. Fashion is fun!
On that note, I had a ball at our fashion shoot this month! From ’80s party looks to pretty party dresses and snuggly winter boots, looks like we’ll be rocking some pretty cool looks this winter!
These were some of my fave pieces this month:
How cute is this Piping Hot jumper? Stripes and brights – my fave trend combo!
I’m in love with these Sudo ballet flats! Dress them up with a girlie dress, and dress them down with skinny jeans.
I think this Cath Kidston spotted bag would be uber cute with leggings, boots and an oversized cardi!
And last but not least, this Diva bracelet would glam up any outfit!
Hope you heart this month’s fashion as much as I do! Write in and let us know which piece you like best!

Good morning!
We are getting so excited here in the Girl Power office because Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam is set for release in only a few short months. In this super sequel the cute Camp Rock kids return for another summer of fun, only to find that a very fancy rival camp, Camp Star, has opened just across the lake. The trouble is Camp Star has lured heaps of cool campers and instructors away from Camp Rock! The only way to settle this dispute is, of course, with a big battle of the bands.
Meanwhile, there is more than just music on the campers’ minds. Love is in the air when Nate (Nick Jonas) totally falls for Dana (Chloe Bridges), the daughter of Camp Star’s owner. This little crush makes everything even more complicated!
Demi Lovato, who resumes her role as Mitchie, recently gave a few hints about what to expect from the latest flick. “There’s more drama, there’s more romance, there’s more dancing, more music. It’s more of a musical this time around, than it was the first time,” she spilled. “I think that’s what it needed. There’s you know, 50 dancers as opposed to 15, and it’s just bigger and more awesome.” Well Demi, awesome is what we want!
We also wanna make the wait for the latest film a little easier for one of our readers, by giving away a Camp Rock prize pack! Included in the stash is a Camp Rock activity book with rock wristband, Camp Rock scrapbook, The Jonas Brothers’ book “Burning Up” which tells all about their tour, and (my fave!) a Shane doll with cute accessories!
To win this awesome prize pack, tell us what song YOU would sing if you had to take part in a musical showdown! Email your answer to girlpower@nextmedia.com.au with the subject line Camp Rock Comp. Don’t forget to include your address so we can send you the prizes if you’re the lucky winner!
Rock out girls!

Hey Girl Powerettes!
I’m super smiley this morning! I’ve had an AWESOME week filled with some fab interviews that I can’t wait to share with you in our upcoming issues!
It’s not just me smiling either… In our office we recently celebrated Nat’s birthday and this weekend is full of birthdays in the celeb world too!
Suite Life on Deck darling Brenda Song celebrates her 22nd birthday on Sat. She had a big b’day bash last year so I wonder if she’ll try and top it, or just make it low key?
Brenda shares her birthday with Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas! She’d sure have no problem hitting the high note in the “Happy Birthday” tune! Everyone always seems to struggle with that one don’t they!?
Speaking of musical birthdays… It’s the one and only Lady Gaga’s birthday on Sunday. She has given herself a pretty wacky early birthday pressie too! Gold teeth! That’s right… She tweeted to her fans this week that she’s wanted gold caps for her teeth for ages, so she went off and bought some for her b’day. Maybe they’ll shine like the gold on her microphone in the pic!
Most importantly girls, we still want to know what YOUR coolest birthday was so we can feature you in the mag! Send us a photo too, so we can have your smiling self gracing our pages. Send your story and pic to girlpower@nextmedia.com.au with the subject “My Best Birthday”.
Can’t wait to hear from you! It’s one more reason I’m smiling today!

I’m super stoked to celebrate my b-day with the GP team this year. Not only do I get super spoilt with lovely pressies, but check out these delicious Red Velvet cupcakes AMY baked specially for me!
Notice how there’s one missing? It was DELICIOUS!
There’s nothing as special as being spoilt on your birthday. so tell us Powerrettes, what’s been your favourite birthday experience? Send an email to: girlpower@nextmedia.com.au and let us know! Plus, send in a pic for your chance to be featured in the mag!

Hi there!
It seems like someone has dropped a bucket load of truth serum over our fave celebs lately! Two on-screen couples have turned fiction into reality and revealed they are dating in real life!
Yesterday Camp Rock cuties Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas confirmed they are the latest Disney darlings to pair up. When Demi was asked on a TV interview if she was dating Joe she gushed, “Yeah, he is my best friend and he is incredible. He’s a complete gentleman. He takes me to the most amazing places…. He’s perfect!” Aww… we think so too!
The pair spends loads of time together already. They both star in Camp Rock 2, which is set to hit the small screen in July. They also just released a duet together called, “Make a Wave” for Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green. It helps conservation projects all around the world. This couple is cute and environmentally conscious… what a combo!
Another couple that’s finally come clean is Twilight sweethearts Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. When asked if they were together Rob finally admitted, “It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy!”
Wow! I wonder if these superstar sweethearts feel like a load has been lifted off them now they have revealed their romances? Or will this just amplify the attention on these pretty pairs? What do you think?

You’ve all probably heard this lovely charity song “WE ARE THE WORLD” directed by Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones. It was recorded in the same studio Michael Jackson did the original 25 years ago and helps raise money to those affected by the devastating disaster in Haiti. I can’t stop playing this song because I love hearing the unique blending of all the different sounds and voices each artist has in this song. It also reminds me that in such suffering times, everyone around the world unites to help out – even celebs. It features over 80 artists and performers. Here are the ones I spotted: Justin Bieber, Fergie, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion, Adam Levine(Maroon 5), Black Eyed Peas, Pink, Jamie Foxx, Usher, Nicole Scherzinger, Mark J. Blige, Carlos Santana, Jason Mraz, Jordin Sparks, Joel Madden and many MORE!
Can you spot the Jonas Brothers?

Hey Powerettes!
“Last night I had the strangest dream!” How often does someone tell you that? After being transported to the weird and wacky world of Alice in Wonderland last week, I did actually have some very strange dreams!
But what are dreams, and do they mean anything? Scientists have argues that our dreams reveal our deepest secrets and fears! I found this really interesting, and decided to investigate further…
Ever had a dream about someone you barely know and you had no idea why? Maybe it was an old teacher or a celebrity, but dreams about people might symbols for other people. For instance dreaming about a famous dad in a movie could be a symbol for your dad. Dreaming about celebs might means that they play a part in your daydreams or symbolise things and places that you want to go to.
Food- Dreams about food stand for new ideas and beliefs. For instance, dreaming about apples is meant to represent knowledge. Or dreaming about cake stands for all your achievements!
Keys: dreaming about keys means you have the solution to a problem- that’s handy!
Bed: your body is craving rest or healing
Cars: you strive towards your goals and want to achieve something
Apparently, dreaming about animals’ means you’ve been neglecting your true feelings and wishes! Have a read on to find out what certain animals symbolise
- Monkeys: Jokes or playfulness
- Crocodile: Something is on your mind
- Bird: You’re waiting for something good to happen
- Butterflies: Your life will change for the better
- Dog: Boundaries, trust and happiness are important to you
- Cat: You’re feeling independent and mysterious today
So now you have a bit of a clue as to what your weird dreams actually mean! Still stumped? Let us know what weird dreams you’ve been having and maybe we can help!

Did you know that March 27th is Brother & Sister day? It’s a day to celebrate our siblings – those special people in our lives we too often take for granted.
This got me thinking about the unique bond I have with my twin sister. We share clothes, secrets and sometimes even dreams! I’ve always thought that having a twin is pretty special and weird. So here’s some twin-tastic facts I’ve dug up to convince you too!
What do Ashton Kutcher, Scarlet Johansson and Benji Madden all have in common? They’re all twins! That’s right, Scarlett shares her birthday with twin brother Hunter, who’s also an actor. Ashton and his fraternal twin Michael are so close, Ashton was really upset when Michael fell ill in 1991. He even contemplated becoming a doctor to help heal his bro! And rockers Benji and Joel Madden are lucky enough to have true twin-talent…. the pair are better known as the frontmen for Good Charlotte!
Identical twins share 100% of their DNA! But they’re also pretty rare – the chance of being a twin is about 1 in 285! The word twin comes from the German word ‘twine’, which means two together and the largest gathering of twins took place in a twin festival in Twinsburg, Ohio – over 2025 sets of twins attended! Wow!
At Twins restaurant in New York, they will only hire staff if they’re twins! Twin sisters Debbie and Lisa Ganz own the restaurant and they employ 37 sets of twins. Every day at least 10 sets of twins or multiples visit the restaurant for dinner. All twins get two-for-one drinks and then head off to sign the twin book of fame!
When GP had the chance to interview both The Veronicas and The Olsen twins we got them to square off, twin to twin!
We also got to hear some juicy twin tidbits. For instance, Mary-Kate and Ash share a spooky connection where they can read each other’s minds! The Veronicas on the other hand loved to play tricks on their teachers at school. Being so alike earned them the nickname ‘LJ’ because their teachers couldn’t tell them apart!
