The Winner of April's GGG is.....MEOW MEOW!!!!


Name: MEOW MEOW
Home: Australia
Reason for Award: For crowd surfing through her audience whilst singing in French, this Australian cabaret star is something to behold. From her ridiculously funny entrance (during which she had members of the audience dress her) to her meloncholy departure (using a flash light as her own spotlight), we don't think we have ever been as equally amused and touched by a performer in the history of Hi-Gloss. Look out for the video, soon to appear in our 'film' section.

The Winner of March's GGG is.......The Anholts!!!


Name: Catherine and Laurence Anholt
Home: Lyme Regis, southwest England
Reason for Award: They are one of the world’s most successful children's author/illustrator teams. Catherine and Laurence Anholt have produced more than 100 children's titles which are published in dozens of languages around the world. Their books have won numerous awards including the prestigious Nestlé Smarties Gold Award on two occasions.
We met the Anholts on a wonderfully sunny afternoon in Dorset, whilst filming for the government run initiative, 'Bookstart' and they proved to be two of the loveliest people we have ever had the honour to film. Speaking in depth about their frustrating experiences as children and as penniless parents, the pair are a real inspiration to creative individuals everywhere. The film will be released on DVD as well as feature on the Bookstart website as soon as completed.
