Veronicas siren stoked on RedHotPie win!

Recently crowned pop-rock goddess Jess Origliasso was thrilled to be named the 2009 RedHotPie Sexy Australian of the Year!

“Thank you! It was a surprise, but a great one to be named number one Sexy Australian by Redhotpie.com.au. To me being a sexy woman has to do with self confidence, independence, the way someone carries themselves, with a strong spirit to stand up, and be heard.

I look up to women like Gwen Stefani, Melissa Etheridge, Angelina Jolie, Dita Von Teese, Tank Girl, k.d. lang, Bettie Page, women who revolutionize the way people think in their different fields. It is also nice to know a 5ft 3, pale, black haired girl from Brisbane can win Sexiest Australian. haha. I know you don't see that happen everyday.

So thank you for the bragging rights, imagine people’s surprise when I tell them I beat Miranda Kerr. haha. Xx”

In 2009 the Veronicas have smashed their way into the American top twenty and it has been announced in the press that Jess will be doing a nude photo shoot in support of PETA - nude sexy fun and admirable social causes!
