'I put it on just before I was due to go out on parade, but I felt these sharp pains when something stuck into my back,' she told Sydney's Daily Telegraph.
'I took the top off and found all these pins had been stuck into it.
'I didn't have any injuries or marks, but I didn't have much time to take them out and get it back on because I had to be out there.
'The sabotage was a bit harsh, but you have to laugh at these things and not take it too seriously. And it did give me a story to tell when I got home.'

A Queen Of Fashion..
Kate Moss. Enough said?
This Incredible and Stunning Human being is one of the most amazing and effortless looking models in the history of Fashion. Making every girl want to cry when even thinking about comparing themselves to such a Queen. As a Theme "kingdom come....Queen thy will be done" I thought it only appropriate to boast about one of Fashion's Royalty.
This one puts all fairytales combined to shame as she creates her own fairytale as well as reliving the ones from childhood's in Vogue Fashion shoots featured in the FairyTale Pages of this blog.
Doing it better than Snow White, she is 'Drop Dead' Gorgeous, and much like Cinderella, can make any rag look Fashionable.
It's a Twin thing
The Olsen Twins. With their own style of fashion, they make it look effortless. I envy their taste in clothes and the labels they wear. They know how to dress at every occasion unlike some celebs.
Fashionably Old Fashioned
Sometimes I wish I was born in the old fashioned day's, just so I can wear their clothes.
