TV stylist Gok Wan mingled with the crowd attending Hikoi on Heels at Auckland's Family Bar last night. The celebrity was incredibly approachable, happily speaking with bar-goers and posing for a picture for GayNZ.com. Wan says he is the country as he is "filming" from Monday to Friday. He is believed to be involved in the new season of New Zealand's Next Top Model and giggled to GayNZ.com that he was "working hard" as he sipped a beer. The bespectacled fashionista is also here to be head judge at the inaugural Specsavers Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2010 awards. During a visit to New Zealand in 2009 Wan made gossip headlines when he confessed a mancrush on Tamati Coffey from Dancing With The Stars and TVNZ's Breakfast. The pair then met for an innocent lunch and shopping 'date'. Hikoi on Heels drew a buoyant crowd to Family last night. It will next pull into Hamilton's Shine Bar on 7 August, then Christchurch's Cruz Bar on 14 August and finally Wellington's Club Ivy on 21 August. It's raising money for the 2010 Hui Takatapui, which will focus on the health and wellbeing of Maori and youth.
