Half-Deaf Mute
29 July 2009, 18:26
The Good:
McG’s work’s annual ball - the seasonal “Christmas in July”. Everyone dressed up, my dress in particular had a particularly special red bow for Christmas effect. Hey, someone had to do it. Plenty of sparkling wine (to offset acute hunger pains at waiting until 10pm for our mains… just a small gripe you understand), making superb new friends. Apple Strudel. Nom-central.
Look, I’m already deaf in one ear, but the other ear got a severe pounding at post-ball Karaoke at K-Box in Lonsdale Street. K-Box was such a find. Piles of individual karaoke rooms, a bit of a rarity in Melbourne. 16 of us crammed into 2 rooms. One a death-metal room, the other a room for a more friendly Gen-X tone (Madonna, Kenny Loggins, you get the drift). My ears are still ringing with a post Bohemian Rhapsody aural hangover. Nice.
and the Mute:
Laryngitis. Self-inflicted. I don’t expect any sympathy.

Kinki Discovers the "Comb-Under"

Spotted: One very saucy “Comb-Under” entering the building.
From this…
To this…
This post-craniotomy “in-between style” can be achieved in 3 Simple Steps:
Step 1: Comb bum-fluffed fringe straight to the side.
Step 2: Plaster bum-fluff down to scalp with brylcr… erm, styling product. We used Kevin Murphy’s Anti-Gravity.
Step 3: Brush main part of hair over comb-under letting it fall gently over face.
Who the Hell said bar-codes couldn’t be sexy???
