Kind of like how in guys magazines there's always 'WOMEN TELL US THEIR FANTASIES, OMG THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!' and it's just guys writing stuff they know other guys want to hear. Not that I have tons of experience but by and large the guys that actually do work in the fashion industry tend to be hugely effeminate and are more worried about which designers shoes they might be treading on then giving an honest opinion. I actually wouldn't mind a gig like that, judging clothing... you don't have to be Kyle Sandilands 'YOU'RE AS FAT AS A BARN!' harsh but if something is crap it's not that hard to say so, and explain why. I wouldn't take too much offense, better to be naturally skinny then fat. Yeah but are they actually guys or just women pretending to be guys?

Read here!" and they've a bunch of guys on the judging panel dishing out advises, which I never read, because the dudes always end up wrinkling their nose at some skinny chick and call her anorexic. All PC-ness. And I am seriously offended with that sorta statement, because I'm a natural size 6. I mean Cosmopolitan’s always publishing things like “What guys honestly think about your clothes.

I'm all for suffering for your art and everything (stone massage therapy was borderline) but that's a little bit on the too gay side for me. Then there's the problem of how to go about "research". 'excuse me sir.' 'oh Hi. I was just looking at womens' dres-uh... I mean hey so uh what's with-no don't call security honest I was just doing research. No wait that came out wrong ARGHHH STOP HITTING ME DAMN YOU INTERNET PEOPLE!'

There's an interesting <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Edelsten" rel="nofollow">wikipedia article</a> on the guy which refreshed my memory. Kind of makes you wonder if his 24 hr super clinics were succesful why nobody else carried it on. Hiring dodgies to do laser surgery and hiring hitmen aside it seems that at least his medical practice model was a success. Sounds better then the drab clinics I've gone too on the odd visit. It also says Gordon is 25... WHAT? I thought she was forty something! I vaguely remember the pink stuff. There’s an interesting wikipedia article on the guy which refreshed my memory.

Also spent a year in jail for hiring Chris Flannery to assault a former patient.Bought the Sydney Swans for his then wife...I think this was all in the late 80's etc.. Still deregistered from the Medical Board, but apparently "runs" medical centres. All class!!

I assume he's got lots of money and has something to do with football? Either way I think there's a bit of golddigging going on there, she's built like a Russian tank and he looks quite frail. Definately above his weight in the looks department but probably not in the brains. In her defense though, looking at some of the other 'couples' she's not the only one going out with a lifestyle rather then a person. <blockquote>I assumed the carpet was blue because the medal itself is blue – sort of a tie in thing.</blockquote> Would they recarpet the room it's in though just for the event? Crown has a blue/white logo so I just figured it's the normal decor. I do vaguely remember the normal casino area havin a multicoloured horrible carpet pattern - maybe the blue is designated for the more 'important' areas.

I always thought Geoffrey Edelston was punching above his weight with Brynne Gordon…

It's a shame the night is now more about the ridiculous fashions and drunken revelry that our poor excuse for media slather everywhere than it is about who won and who polled well for the season.
