Andy Warhol and me

Thank you to the many fans I have around the planet who have put me into the Andy Warhol Hall of Fame. Don't bother voting for me any more, though I could easily win a second time if I ran. I am content to be in the Hall of fame just once as a sign of my deep and broad relationship with Andy.

Check out the popularity contest and give someone less famous than me a go.

I'll tell you a little bit about me and Andy Warhol.
I tried to keep the relationship between myself and Andy a secret, thank heavens it didn't get out when he was still alive, God bless his soul. All those young boys he had hanging around him always got jealous when I modelled for him in his New York factory. They would have exploded if they knew what was really going on when Andy sent them to the supermarket to buy another tin of Campbell's soup. Andy didn't really think much about the soup but he had to keep painting the damn things to justify sending his boys to the supermarket. But that worked out O.K. for him in the end, I told him it would when I thought of it - but he didn't believe me until the money started rolling in. Andy didn't have much business sense when I first met him. He wasn't so slow on the pick-up though when I suggested that it would be good for his career to paint Marilyn Monroe. I should of kept my mouth shut though. Once he started painting that bitch I didn't model for him so much any more and we drifted apart. I'm sure those young boys had something to do with it too.

Anyway, I've said too much already,

Till next time,
Aunty April

Aunty April's Bio


Aunty April was born sometime early last century, by a creek bed in the desert. She has no birth certificate nobody knows how old she is but every Christmas day she celebrates her 40th birthday.

Aunty April, born April Myrtle Munday is the eldest of 14 children, a mother of 7, grandmother to 21 and great grandmother to 6 (so far). Once Aunty April's children had grown up she married Urnie Phool. She kept her maiden name.

In 1985 Uncle Urnie passed away in his sleep in the back of a kombi van at Noosa, waiting for Aunty April to compete in the Australian surf championships. Aunty April won her heat of the competition and qualified to represent Australia at the 1986 Hawaii world championships. However since that day Aunty April has never returned to the surf.


In 2000 Aunty April became an intern at Kirrabilly house, the Sydney home of Prime Minister John Howard. She took responsibility for providing hospitality to visiting V.I.P.s who dined with the Prime Minister and his family. Because of some unfortunate misunderstandings stemming from an Olympic opening ceremony after party the federal opposition raised some sordid accusations in parliament about the relationship between the Prime Minister and Aunty April. As you may remember, the Prime minister was forced to give a television address to the nation where he insisted his innocence and proclaimed "I did not sleep with Aunty April" Fortunately everyone believed him and that issue was forgotten.
Since that time Aunty April has enjoyed a special parliamentary colleagues pension and superannuation scheme, allowing her to travel the world, from Palm Island to Broken Hill, as an honorary Ambassador for Australia.

In 2003 Aunty April became a major figure in the Australian art world. - Queensland painter, Richard Bell's brilliant Warhole-esque screen-print entitled "Nude Aunty April" was excluded from the archibald prize as it was considered that a full frontal painting could not be considered "portrature". A mass debate developed in the art community about the whole issue, climaxing in a controversy around the T-shirt that Aunty April wore to the Archibald Prize ceremony "White Men Can't Hump". Inspired by this T-shirt Richard Bell made his own.

Later in 2003 Aunty April was rumoured to be romantically involved with Peter Garret, though both denied it. Rolling stone magazine reported that Aunty April was the inspiration behind the song "Beds are burning" Aunty April responded with an Angry letter to the editor of R.S. insisting "that is none of your business". Garret, when asked by journalists about their relationship insisted "The rumours are false, Aunty April has been employed as spiritual advisor and masseusse to Midnight Oil, She is a great help to us all on tour, but we are just good friends"

As the relationship between Garret and Aunty April developed, whatever it was, it caused great friction with the other members of Midnight Oil. Aunty Aprils constant presence in the recording studio and her obvious influence on Garrett, especially her insistence that one day he could be a brilliant politician was often the cause of arguments amongst the band. Some commentators believe Aunty April was the real reason for Midnight Oil breaking up.

Aunty April's New Year Message

How is all the people out there in Aunty's world?

Time is moving right along and now its a new year again, so my new year resolution is to make the most out of life and that's why were having our annual get together. The benefit concert for the Pitta Pitta mob's welcome back to land appeal. As we got too much relations, me and the old people, we have to raise money for fares, accommodation and food - so no one starves of malnutrition when we're out in the desert, long way for waterhole you know .

And I'm looking forward to lots of things this year, rumour has it that John Horward is going to apologize to all us Aboriginal mob at the "Stolen-wealth games" this year. I'll be in the party if that's the case and i'm lookin forward to meeting the Queen, as the last we meet was the after party of the Brisbane commonwealth games opening. She can't hold her drink like I can and there were all sorts of problems. Anyway, as I was invited to sit in her royal box at the games this year, I should remind her what we did the last time us two old bags got together, just in case there's a repeat.

Anyway, this internet thingy will give me the chance to tell you, not now - later - all about Queen Lizzy and what she gets up to behind the scenes, as well as all the other V.I.P.s who keep inviting me to their parties.

More Soon,
love to you all

Aunty April
