She bought a gold dress that “didn’t fit in any way shape or form” and then bought a gold table runner from Kmart with plans to wrap it around her body, but it ended up being the perfect gold carpet for her shoot.
When Servante finally arrived at the billboard at Cottesloe beach she had to recruit strangers’ help.
“I didn’t have any friends so I had to get some random people to take the photo,” she laughed.
All that effort was not even the hardest part.
When she was announced as a finalist, Servante, who said she didn’t even know what a hashtag was before the competition, had to somehow get enough public support to win.
“I campaigned through Facebook and Instagram, through all my friends … I went down to the local skate park [and said] ‘Make me go viral’ to the teenagers – and it worked,” she said.
Servante will head on her first international holiday since the Covid pandemic broke out soon without spending a cent on flights.
She is going to Tokyo with her husband, two children and sister.
“We were supposed to go to Thailand just as Covid hit so the kids are very excited,” she said.
She is also planning a girls’ trip for her birthday, and hopes to visit Fiji with her husband.
