Yes guys and gals! Bee is definitely, absolutely, stupendously fabulous. She is one of our great friends - a pure creative, a daredevil who's just gone skydiving, and just one all-round beautiful human being.
We've been lucky enough to get some time up to chat with her and ask her a couple of questions to share with you all. She loves our gear and is rocking around everywhere with it!

Q. What's your name?
I am Bee Cruse. The Fabulous.
Q. Age?
I am infinite!
Q. What traffic light are you?
Green... for sure! My fav colour... and totally single!
Q. How would you like to be identified as eg. Bi, Trans, FTM, MTF, Asexual, No gender?
When people ask about my gender/ sexuality... I just say that I'm Fabulous! I'm me. No social box necessary :D
Q. Where are you from or where can people see you regularly?
I like to think I'm an alien... but I come the The West (of Sydney that is)
Q. What are you looking forward to this year?
I'm looking forward to all the new friends ill be making whilst travelling for work... I think work will pick up this year! I'm a storyteller and I work in documentary making and film and theatre. Im just an all round artist i guess... and Im looking forward to where that will take me.
Q. Perfect date?
Hmmm, I like surprises! So if I'm surprised on a date and doing something new, then Ill be happy :D
Q. Who is your role model, and why?
I guess Madiba, Nelson Mandela. He left such a beautiful legacy and brought together an amazing nation! I love his story, I love his legacy and how he was as a person... I guess he is someone that I strive to be like. But in saying that, I have many role models in life whom I strive to be like, for so many different reasons! My mum is the one person who'd I love to be! She's unbelievably strong and powerful in her own mind, and nothing can ever stray her from her path... but that's also a trait that I had passed down to me... some call it stubbornness haha.
Q. What do you like doing in your spare time?
Spending time with family is the best for me! We always go to the beach, or bush walking or exploring... we're very close. But When I'm not with them; I'm writing, surfing, more writing or hanging out with friends or chilling out at the many galleries of Sydney... I get up to a lot I guess.
Q. What has been your best/worst date?
Nothing really comes to mind right now....
Q. What's your one biggest pet peeve?
Hmm... bad drivers!?
my life's motto is "Fuck Shit Up!"
Q. Favourite band/song?
Love Song by The Cure... my all time fav band!
Q. Are you a bathroom singer?
My shower head continually compliments me on my skills!
Q. Where would you like to visit?
I've always wanted to go to Canada & Alaska for the beautiful landscape and to learn about the beautiful First Nation culture they have. And I'd also like to go to the Californian Mountains, where my family name comes from. My great great grandfather was American Indian, and I think that's where he comes from... I'd love to go there and see.
Q. If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be and why?
I think I am a wolf. A lone wolf most of the time... but I often describe my family as a wolf pack. You see, from the outside we look scary, vicious and hash... but take a closer look and understand our combined spirits and you have my beautiful family! My mumma, she is the Alpha wolf! Once you're in the pack, you're apart of the family... but as soon as you do something to a cub or a family member... the alpha will munch yo' ass! I have my mummy's spirit! A fighters spirit.
Q. If you could have one superhero power, what would it be and why?
I think I've always wanted to be telekinetic; that is be able to move/ manipulate things with my mind. I've always had dreams that I was able to move things just by thinking about it... apart from reading my sister's mind a few times, Ive never been able to successfully move anything with my mind hahaha!
Q. Are you socially media inclined or what?
I personally suck at social media and really use it to vent and catch up with family and the news, but I work in the industry how/ why peeps use it... so I guess. Be real. If anything, be different, be bold! Use it to your advantage and how ever you can get your message out there... that's what is was designed for wasn't it?
Q. Anything else you might want to share?
So i have this kind of motto to life and it came from my understanding of how I like to get myself into systems and just blow them up! I see how systems rarely benefit the people they were designed to help, but instead, they help the powers who put them in place! So my life's motto is "Fuck Shit Up!" ...that's why I gave up my job in politics because no one would take a little black duck from Western Sydney seriously... that's why I'm an artist. I want to create social change that helps the people!
Q. Special quote you live by?
Bee the light you want to see in the world!
Q. Advice or message for audience?
I've always lived in the 'left of centre' kind of field in life... being different is sweet as! Be yourself! That allows others to be themselves! Trust me, I know xx
