She was born into an upper-middle class family, the first of four children. Her parents divorced when she was fourteen, and she adopted the surname Macpherson when her mother remaried shortly after.

- Emma Balfour
Emma Balfour was the bad girl of fashion. The grunge queen. The waif. The outspoken campaigner against the fashion industry's heroin and anorexia epidemic.
So it's incongruous, though refreshing, that this Australian model, so ambivalent towards fashion, is now the face of the conservative label Jacqui E.
Balfour, 28, and jaded after 10 years of residing in London, has retired from modelling and moved to Bondi. But her exclusive contract with Jacqui E has kept her from straying too far from the industry that, she said, ``sometimes weirded me out''.
She has worked for blue-ribbon labels such as Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace and Calvin Klein.
Now that she's put modelling on the back-burner, Balfour is concentrating on a new phase in her career: writing. While in London she co-edited a literary newspaper called Ape, and on her return to Australia she's enrolled in a creative writing course.

- Emma Harrison
At the tender age of 15, New Zealand born, Australian raised, Emma Harrison began modelling when she was spotted in the audience of a beauty contest with her mother where she was immediately signed with a local agency. She began her career with several television commercials including Palmolive Soap, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Kemps Milk. For the quiet, shy Emma, it was the first step in a career that made her a household name in more than 52 countries worldwide.
Developing her talents Emma expanded her interest to the stage where she began to flourish. Her gift in Dance became apparent and she was offered placement at The Australian National Ballet School.
Her career continued steadily until age 17. Shortly after Emma left for college in pursuit of a degree in Business Commerce at Bond University. However, she could not escape the eye of several casting agents who persuaded her to embark on an acting career. It was not long before her striking looks caught the attention of seasoned directors and she began to rapidly secure jobs in the competitive world of acting. Landing parts in the productions of Time Trax, Mission Impossible and the film Street Fighter starring Jean Claude Van Damme and fellow Neighbours star Kylie Minogue, Emma felt she was ready for her next level of success and thus decided to make the move to Sydney.
It was at this point in her career that she was discovered by the casting director of "Neighbours". The team behind the number one rated television show was so taken with her talent, charisma and sensational looks that they decided to write a part exclusively for her. For the following three years, Emma was to be known as her TV alter ego Joanna Hartman, which resulted in a nomination for Best New Talent at the Australian Logie Awards.
Upon conquering the Australian market Emma traveled to the U.K. where unbeknown to her she was already a star. Utilizing her marketability she began to appear on the covers of large distribution magazines such as FHM, Loaded, Maxim, Inside Sport UK, Inside Sport Australia, Australian Playboy and Black + White Magazine.

- Emma Tom
Emma Tom was born in November, 1969, and grew up in the unfashionable western suburbs of Sydney followed by the equally unfashionable rural suburban haven of coastal NSW.
After a spectacularly fidgety career as a life drawing model, she completed a cadetship on a rural newspaper (where her main job was to insert the dollar signs in fruit and vegetable reports).
She then relocated to the city, spending eight years at The Sydney Morning Herald attracting law suits and generally making a nuisance of herself. During this time, she also conducted a nude interview with American porn star Annie Sprinkle, became a cheerleader for a month and entered the Moscow Circus's infamous Globe of Death on a dare.
Our fearless girl reporter now writes a weekly humour column in The Weekend Australian where her specialties include subjects as diverse as female fungal disorders, the word "dipolar" and Belgian porn star Lolo Ferrari's international travel-restricting breast augmentations. She has also written for numerous women's motorcycling magazines as well as appearing briefly as a men's sex advice columnist in Max.
In 1997, Miss Tom won the Henry Lawson Award for Journalism which was awarded for a story on do-it-yourself funerals. Her first novel, Deadset (a slapstick crime story narrated by a dead schoolgirl) won the Best First Novel section of the 1998 Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Asia and the South Pacific.
Miss Tom was named as one of Australia's best young writers during the 1997 and 1998 Sydney Writers Festivals. She has also twice been listed as one of Australia's most successful women under 30 by Cosmopolitan magazine. She can be heard regularly on Australian radio, has made appearances on Nine's Midday Show, ABC-TV's Good News Week, Ten's Good Morning Australia, Foxtel's The Graveyard Shift and Channel V's The Joint and delivered a paper at the 1998 Commonwealth Writers Seminar in Kuala Lumpur. Most recently she appeared as a reporter and presenter on Seven's The Late Report.

- Eszter Matheson
Eszter bounced into the world on February 11, 1970, and grew up in various bits of Sydney, with a slight detour to the Central Coast during her high-school years.
Although she loves her home, Eszter has done the big overseas trips, including Europe, India, Egypt and Indonesia. Her first job was tossing pizza dough in a pizza parlour. But now Eszter combines being our live this design guru with working with her sister at their groovy inner-Sydney cafe.
"I wasn't thinking about a career in television when the live this job came up," she reveals with typical Eszter honesty. "But after trying a few different things out I think I've finally found my calling in design."

- Emily Perry
Ex co-host of Studio D and has appeared on the tv series Breakers.

If it hadn't been for a bout of glandular fever at the age of 13, Emily might well have been a star athlete by now instead of an actor. The illness, however, meant she had to have so much time away from training, she went back to her first love of acting instead.
She signed up with an agent in Year 10 for some extra cash « "I didn't want to get a part-time job!" she explains « and soon found herself loving the work more than school. When she was then offered the role of Terri in Breakers, she had to decide whether to leave school before the last term of Year 11 or turn down the job.
"It wasn't a very hard decision at all!" she laughs. "I can go back to school in two years time and finish off. Jobs like this don't come around very often."
Emily adores the challenge of playing Terri, a girl she describes as only a year younger than herself, but many years less mature. "She's so noisy at times and can be a bit over the top. She likes to get involved in everyone's lives. I like to know what's going on around me too, but I like to think I know where to draw the line!"
