Michelle Leslie, Back On The Catwalk

August 17th 2006 08:19
Some people were lucky enough to attend the Myer VIP Spring/Summer Fashion Parade last night. Others, well, we had to just watch snippets of it on the news. But boy did it look spectacular! All those glorious colours and glistening golden bodies…

And if you looked very closely, you may have even noticed a familiar face on the catwalk.

I’m talking about that girl we’ve dubbed the Bali Drug Model, Michelle Leslie. She was all smiles and elegance as she paraded down the runway and she looked AMAZING! Was I expecting her to look tired and old, wearing an orange jump suit and a chain around her ankles? Well, yes, I guess I was. Afterall, this time last year things were very different…

Michelle Leslie - the mug shot


On 21st August 2005, the former Antz Pantz model was arrested by police after two pills were found in her hand bag at an open-air dance party in Bali. After testing of the substances and a urine analysis, it was found Miss Leslie had both consumed and been in possession of ecstasy tablets. She was facing a possible 15 years in prison.

Her trial began on 28 October 2005 and several weeks later, the Denpasar District Court found Miss Leslie guilty of possession. She was sentenced to three months in prison, but having already served that time in police custody, she was released. And that was the end of that.

Of course, somewhere in between it all, there was some controversy about whether or not Miss Leslie had converted to Islam and whether or not her lawyers had bribed the authorities to ensure her freedom.

Whatever happened, it doesn’t matter now. The girl is free and she’s on the catwalk looking better than ever!

Money, Bribes, corruption, scandal! She is one very very lucky girl.

Yeah, she really is. I was sort of hoping she would come out of this and become a spokesperson for an anti-drug campaign or something, saying she had learnt her lesson the hard way and blah blah blah...

The only lesson she learnt was that money can buy pretty much anything -- and to hide your drugs better.

So true. She admitted in one of her interviews, I think it was on 60 minutes, that her family paid the authorities to give her some 'perks' while she was in custody. Not quite sure what those perks were but I'm guessing it meant better conditions/food/treatment. She was very lucky to get out of there so soon.
