Who's this Zoë bird?
Zoë Foster was raised by three nuns and a congenial wolf in Nashville, Tennessee. On her third birthday she found her parents (they were next door all along! Imagine that!) and began what would become her life long passion - catching live rattlesnakes with her bare hands and helping her father, Jimmy 'Mad Dog' Foster make bespoke cowboy boots for Karl Lagerfeld.
Okay. You've got me. I can't back that up. Everyone knows Karl prefers cobra boots.
Okay.
Zoë Foster grew up in the Southern Highlands of NSW and while completing her schooling enjoyed wearing green slacks and manning the McDonalds drive through. She studied Media and Communications at UNSW, fell down three sets of steps during 0-week and failed the only subject she genuinely enjoyed (children's literature) because she felt it was ‘sacrilege’ to ‘brazenly deconstruct’ her favourite childhood texts. This arrogance continues to this day.
Zoë began her magazine career in 2002 at Mania magazine, where she reviewed Xbox games and pretended to care about DragonBall Z, before moving to Smash Hits and interviewing shithouse boy bands on a fortnightly basis.
Next was her role at Cosmopolitan, where she stayed as Beauty and Lifestyle Editor for three years, a time when she began her beauty blog, fruitybeauty, and started writing her first novel, Air Kisses. From there it was over to Harper’s BAZAAR to be the Beauty Director, where she learned it was entirely appropriate to spend $800 on a pair of shoes, and that it was also immensely enjoyable.
In 2008 Zoë popped on her lycra unitard and set off for the future, also known as ‘online,’ where she helped develop primped.com.au, a web 2.0 Beauty website she currently edits. She is also currently the beauty columnist for The Sunday Telegraph, and the dating columnist for Cosmopolitan magazine.
Zoë published her second book, Textbook Romance, which she wrote with Hamish Blake, in 2009. Her third book, a novel titled Playing The Field will be on sale early 2010, and her fourth, an expose of the underground rattlesnake boot trade is due for publication in 2011.
