Pamela Kerr INDEPENDENT BRA FITTER INTIMO LINGERIE
AKA: The Irish Bra Fairy. I’m renowned for: Lifting and supporting a woman’s best assets! The song that describes me best is: Diamonds by Rhianna. My Intimo team is called the Diamonds, we are strong women shining bright whilst achieving our dreams. We empower women everyday by sharing the Intimo business with them and professionally fitting them in fabulous, supportive lingerie. If I had a superpower it would it be: Ability to teleport myself and others. Imagine the craic. Don’t panic, craic is fun in Irish! Right now I wish I was...able to teleport my family and friends to beautiful Townsville and eat gelato on the Strand. My favourite day is: Everyday. The sun is shining, I love my life and my Intimo business and I am grateful for every breath I take. I am, at last, living the dream.

One thing I can’t live without is: My dogs Ruby and Max, Irish Cavalier King Charles. I brought them from Ireland where I was a Police Sergeant and if those dogs could talk! Last gift I gave someone was: The gift of a good, well fitting, supportive bra... priceless. Best advice I’ve been given: The master has failed more times than the apprentice has tried. The best day of my life (so far): The day me and my husband Dave arrived in Australia two years ago. The sun was shining! Two celebrities I’d like to dine with: Prince and Marilyn Monroe, the best musician and songwriter ever! Marilyn because I am an impersonator and singer and I would love some tips on my performance! The motto I live by: A day without laughter is a day wasted.

AKA: Andy or the “HEP C Man” most commonly known around the Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation centres through out Townsville. I’m renowned for: Working for Queensland Injectors Health Network (QuIHN), an organisation committed to providing a holistic response to the health and well-being of people who use illicit drugs in Queensland, including the treatment and support Program (TIDE Project) for people living with chronic Hepatitis C. As a child I always… wanted to be an All Black, unfortunately this did not come to fruition. If I had a superpower it would be: Time manipulation, now that would be awesome. When I’m alone in my car I think about: Chilling in Bora Bora in a hammock or surfing a barrel in Tahiti. One thing I can’t live without is: My children. In five years from now I
hope I’m… continuing to significantly reduce the burden and transmission rates of the Hepatitis C Virus and ensuring that people who inject drugs are supported in a society that values respect and compassion over stigma and discrimination. Last gift I gave someone was: My time and support. Best advice I’ve been given: Work hard, stay humble. The best day of my life (so far): Without a doubt would be the birth of my children, nothing can top that. Two celebrities I’d like to dine with: All Black Richie Macaw because of his dedication, determination, resilience, tireless work ethic, cool head under pressure and strong team focus. And surfing legend Kelly Slater, because he just keeps reinventing himself to stay at the top of his game; he is, in my opinion, the greatest surfer of all time.
