Gillian Nalletamby is a freelance writer who has written for publications such as Women’s Health and Fitness, Sunday Magazine and the Sydney Morning Herald.
She was born and bred in the western suburbs and lives on what she believes is the right side of the bridge. She is not afraid to use the F word (feminist) in broad daylight and proudly reads glossy magazines, wears makeup, designer clothes and 4” inch heels.
She a 30 something single woman but has called timeout on the biological clock and questions about her love life. She no longer believes that a white knight is coming to rescue her and has started drawing up plans for her own castle.
When Gillian isn’t at the gym, shopping, socialising or listening to other people’s conversations on the train to try and find good story ideas, you can find her writing about fashion, lifestyle and women’s issues on her blog 30isthenewblack.com
