So yesterday was my first day skiing on the beautiful Whistler Mountain in Canada. Winter PRIDE has had such a vibe on the mountain and the apres have been packed

Aware of my official duties, performing at the Fashion Parade and Final of Mr Gay World, and of course my new FAKE show opening at the Shift on Friday the 13th and the debut of Gentlemen Prefer Bloke, I decided to take the green ski runs down the mountain (they are the beginners ones). I spent about 45 minutes going up the mountain in the gondolas and chair lifts in awe of the stillness and beauty.

I met some lovely fellow Gay Ski Weekers on the Peak to Peak Gondola and they invited me to join them, we were whizzing along on the brisk, fresh snow when I lost sight of them ahead of me. I wasn’t sure if they went right or left, they went right, I went left. Somehow i deviated off the Green trail and onto something a little more treacherous. Aware of the danger I tried to slow down, unfortunately my right ski twisted underneath me and broke my leg. Initially I was sure that it was just a bruise and i would be fine to get up after a few moments rest. Unfortunately that was not so and I was tobogganed on the back of a snow mobile all the way down the hill before being taken to the Whistler Medical Center in an Ambulance.

Once there I got something for the paid and some X-rays which revealed that I had   broken my lower right tibia and fibula. *Ouch*. I was then transported to a bigger hospital in Vancouver when I was operated on today and had metal plates put into my leg. I have managed to spike someone WiFi and am writing this post from my hospital bed. I am hoping that they will let me out on Saturday so I can make it back up to Whistler to fulfil my duties and perform at the final of Mr Gay World… albeit in a wheelchair. Fingers crossed.

The biggest lesson I have learnt from this is:: ALWAYS GET TRAVEL INSURANCE!!! Thank god my Father insisted on me renewing my yearly travel insurance before i went to Europe in July. I would not have bothered if Dad had not repeatedly brought it up. Thank you Dad!

*Warning* This post was written under the influence of Morphine, I will proof it again in the morning!

To prepare for my trip to Canada I thought I would indulge myself in their arts scene and, last Friday, watched Celine in Las Vegas on DVD. That was really to get me in the mood for this Friday (tonight) when Jesse and I had tickets to go to her concert here in Sydney! Unfortunately she got a throat infection and rescheduled to the 5th, when I will be in her home country. I have decided that Celine is to Canada, as Kylie is to Australia.

Vancouvereenies come along to Celebrities on Thursday the 3rd of April (next thursday) for G’day Vancouver’s Surfs Up Sydney Foam Party!You can get your tickets from Little Sisters prior to the event or on the door! There is also the chance to win a trip for two to Sydney Australia! I am still in Australia where it is a pleasant 24 Degrees! I am perplexed by the Surf’s Up theme and the near freezing temperatures you are currently having…. but i survived New York in late November in a piece of beader tule and open toes shoes… I’m a survivor… just like Beyonce!Check out AustraliaWeek.ca for more details!  P.S. Dear Canada, I love that we share the same initials! I heart CA too!
