Bucket babe: Tamzin Elliott

Its been a week of miserable weather across the country but here at the Bucket we're going to heat things up for you! Today's model hails from the East Coast, and was former Sharks flasher girl, so here's wishing our boys in black and white all the best for tomorrows final.  The Durban beauty was a former Miss Earth finalist and is the Brutal fruit Goddess of Glam 2012. The lady has got good taste in music and cars and has achieved a lot over the years but I'll let her tell you more.

Tamzin Elliott

I studied a BSc in Biological Sciences at UKZN where I specialised in Ecology, particularly of big cats... they are my passion. I currently work as a Project manager in telecommunications and love to break away to the bush whenever I can! Hailing from Durban and now living in JHB its difficult to be away from the coast for too long! Go the Sharks!! Yes, I was previously a proud Sharks Flasher girl!

I'm an absolute adrenaline junkie! give me roller coasters and bungee jumps any day, I'm up for the challenge!

I love to gym and take part in adventure sports, as well as travel to new and exciting places! Try everything once - or it might not be there to experience again!

Ive just won the 2012 Brutal Fruit Goddess of Glam search, a really amazing competition where I was mentored by the likes of Bonang Matheba, Gert Johan Coetzee and Ntatho Mashishi

Last year I was a finalist in the Miss Earth South Africa Pageant and I'm Currently competing in Miss Pretoria. Beauty Pageants are a hobby of mine, they're fun and Ive done a few before, previously winning Miss Heritage KZN, Miss Umhlanga Beach, Princess in Miss Suncoast, Top 5 Miss South Coast... and such...
