How do you feel about being this month’s MAXIM cover girls?
ELLIE (E): To be on the cover for the third time, especially with two of my favourite girls joining me for such a sexy issue… I am absolutely blown away! MAXIM is a big part of my life, as are its readers, and I am very blessed to have such amazing support.
RENEE (R): It’s such an honour to be on the cover of my favourite Aussie men’s mag, especially with two of Australia’s most beautiful women! I’m so excited.
SHERIDYN (S): Ditto. I had so much fun at this photo shoot. Thank you for having us!
This shoot has a classy, backyard, summer theme. What do you usually wear when you’re hanging out in your backyard?
E: It depends: if I’m by the pool I’m, of course, in my bikinis. If I’m playing with my puppy Daisy I’m in my cut-off denim shorts, a pair of Cons, my hat – backwards – and a loose tee.
S: Usually my soccer shorts and a shirt, if I’m playing with my dogs, or a bikini if I am laying out.
R: My backyard and pool area is very private. Have you ever noticed I don’t sport any tan lines?
What was the best part of the shoot?
S: It’s always my favourite part when it’s us three around! Renee and Ellie are incredible friends and we always have so much fun together.
R: At the end of the day, when we all dove into the pool and mucked around. The Instagram videos were very popular.
E: Being with these two, they absolutely light up my life, and it’s never a dull moment when we are together. We’re a very full-on bunch of girls and if people met us for the first time during this shoot they’d think we were insane.
How long have you girls known each other?
R: We met while working on a campaign shoot, right?
E: Yeah, we all met through work about three years ago. Our personalities are so similar and we just clicked straight away.
S: I think it’s almost four years ago now? Ellie and I actually met at a Playboy event but we also all became friends because we are fellow herbivores.
If you don’t eat meat, what’s on your barbie during the Aussie summer?
R: There are so many delicious, vegan, mock-meat alternatives. They look, taste, and smell exactly like the real thing. There is nothing more gratifying than tricking a meat-eater with my vegan sausages, hamburgers, or southern-style chicken burgers. They are genuinely shocked.
E: Yes, there are so many options! When I take them to a BBQ people always ask to have some of my food because it tastes and looks yummier! It’s also a kinder, healthier way to eat.
What’s the best way to celebrate Australia Day?
R: In a green and gold bikini, of course!
E: On the beach or by the pool in my bikinis with friends.
S: All of the above!
What’s your favourite thing about our fine country?
R: The amazing beaches, laidback lifestyle, Vegemite, wombats, and, of course, the hot women. I also appreciate that you can be bikini clad all year round.
E: The women and the beaches.
S: Yep, can’t go past the beaches.
