A new beginning for Gin Wigmore
Twenty-five-year-old Gin Wigmore has been wondering if she's become a little boring in the past two years.
New Zealand's favourite feisty blonde singer has bought a house in Sydney, and is getting all domestically blissed out making a wee nest for herself.
"I've been thinking, 'Am I lame now?' I'm doing home improvements and stuff. I've been doing things like going to Bunnings to buy screws, and going, 'ah, I'm such a loser', but then get home and go, well I actually f***ing need those screws. And I've put in a vege patch, and been doing some gardening which is hilarious. Definitely not getting married or having kids any time soon though, having a house is enough."
It is an odd picture - the raucous, and often hilarious party girl enjoying some quiet pottering in the garden; one that's a million miles from the image of her as a single-minded recording artist working in a Venice Beach studio, or an adventurous soul travelling Mississippi and Alabama looking for inspiration.

Hudson’s Hardware in Garner is thinking pink this fall as they gear up to a Breast Cancer Awareness Trail Ride on Oct. 1 at Buckhorn Reservoir in Wilson. The event is one of more than 50 events taking place across the United States this October as part of Purina’s second annual “Pink 50™ Campaign,” an effort to unite animal lovers everywhere and raise awareness and support for breast cancer research through the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
