ADELAIDE NORRIS
Hey, Adelaide. What’s been happening today?
Damn, I just got home from work. My body hates me today, so I’m about to take a magnesium bath. Lockdown has been the weirdest six months of my life. For some reason, I’m kinda happy slowing down. I’m going a bit crazy but it’s OK. I feel so privileged being in a country like Australia. It’s crazy out there for a lot of the rest of the world.
You work at Hemley Skate Shop, and word has it that you just got a promotion. How’s your new role going?
It’s pretty fun. I feel like I’m the only one to have gotten a promotion during the pandemic. I’m doing all the design work, social media and stock stuff. It’s a lot more responsibility than I have ever had in any job role. I’m feeling the pressure, but stoked ’cause work goes super quick. I get to finish at 3pm each day, so I can skate after, which is so good.
“I somehow ended up being grabbed by one of the drag queens and enjoyed a slow dance on stage.”
Did you grow up in Melbourne?
Yep, I grew up in a beachside town called Carrum,
