The Real News

Must have been a slow news day - maybe nothing else of merit happened elsewhere in the world.



[from sideswipe]



For those who missed TV One's Close Up on Tuesday night, here is a brief account of the item, arguably the second most important event that happened in New Zealand in the previous 48 hours, from John Christiansen of Mt Albert: "Nicky Watson lost her chihuahua. Well, after numerous clips of Nicky nearly falling out of various dresses followed by clips of Nicky wandering around day and night with torch in hand calling out for her little lost pet, the interviewer finally sat down for a little heart-to-heart with Ms Watson. Recounting her tale of woe Nicky, voice strained with overuse and emotion, says, 'I must have called his name a million times', to which the interviewer kindly responds, trying to empathise: 'You're hoarse.' 'No', replies Nicky sadly, 'my dog'."

Oh, I have a dress just like that. Only sluttier.

Fashion is such a fickle beast Jay.

Thank God we have runway models, who can show us the best upcoming fashionable trends.

I mean we'd all wear this to the office Christmas party - right? :)

Oh Mark, you just don't get haute couture, you. It's not about the clothes, it's about "the clothes".

But I do second you on the fact that media reporting these days resembles gossip magazines just a little too closely.

Sorry Manic - but in this shot i just can't agree with you :)
