Miranda Otto (above) with Jan Logan at the Perth opening last night
Dateline: PERTH.
Admitting she is a real pearl girl, Miranda Otto, headed west to officially open the latest retail from the filmic-minded jeweller, Jan Logan.
"Maybe it's my complexion, but the lustre of pearls and even colored stones are better on me than diamonds, and white gold'' smiled the ambassadorial actor as she clutched some extra-ordinary strands of the real McCoy.
Surrounded by the cream of Perth society and in an Australian state where pearls (think Broome's Paspaley and Kailis pearls) have a spiritual home, Ms Logan's shop launch (in the Wesley Quarter on Hay Street) was packed full of smart-looking, jewellery-clad woman.
As a calm and cool mother-of-one, Miranda said she is off to the Toronto Film Festival and also to San Sebastian in Spain, where she will be representing her latest film, the Ana Kokkinos-directed 'Blessed' which opens in Australia next month. The film co-stars Frances O'Connor, Deborra-lee Furness and William McInnes.
Miranda's association with Jan Logan is a very good fit indeed, considering the renowned jeweller sponsors the AFI awards and has had a very long history and pure love of the much maligned Australian film industry.
"Business has been tough but we have great neighbours here in Burberry, Emporio Armani and Alannah Hill and it has had a great response so far,'' said Ms Logan.
Loved the fact the 'bling' word has been given the shove too: "We don't call it 'bling' anymore do we?'' Jan smiled. "That's been done to death.''
Still in Perth and have just done a tv interview for ACA about the Michelle Obama fashion and fitness factor, before I'm off to host the first Western Australia 'Swap My Style' event. It's where a Hilton hotel ballroom of chicks 'barter' their (nice) designer clothes by swapping them with something of equal worth.
The same event happens in Sydney and Melbourne over the next few weeks. I'll give you an idea of what treasures turn up after scouring tonight's event.

Melissa, Melissa, Melissa, how can you say that pearls are better than bling.
Sure pearls are great, and have their place, but you can only where them for so long to so many places.
I love my bling, I have always, and will always love my bling, and bling will NEVER be dead!!!
I love mine too!
It will never retreat from my wardrobe . . . as you would usually see me wearing it :)
Miranda looks stunning.
I love to use pearls in my jewellery, but also can't go past a bit of bling!
