When STM’s first edition hit the streets early in 2004, Rebecca Twigley’s life was sweet and pretty simple. Newly 21, she had just switched degrees to study speech pathology and she was a few months into dating West Coast superstar Chris Judd, after a classic Perth love story involving meeting at Club Bay View and later, a Sunday session kiss at the Cottesloe Beach Hotel. But by the time STM’s first anniversary rolled around, things looked very different— courtesy of a daring, red Ruth Tarvydas dress, worn to the Brownlow Medal later in 2004, as Judd won the AFL’s best-and-fairest award for the first time. Looking back on it, now Bec Judd and juggling a media career with parenting the couple’s four children, it was a sliding doors moment she didn’t see coming. As #STMPerth celebrates its 21st year, Judd flew home to Perth for a special shoot, exclusive interview and to guest edit the magazine, choosing party looks from local designers for fashion and giving her top #WA tips in STM Loves. See all the photos and read the story inside STM this weekend.
