I've always been a fan of Jeanne since I came over to Australia. She's just so zany and one of a kind anti-celebrity on daytime TV. I remembered being in uni at that time and had certain days where I don't have any classes in the afternoon. I must admit I was actually obsessed with that show, and often rushed home from uni or planned my lunchtime around the show. Which was pretty surprising because most of daytime TV are shit anyway...well, maybe except Jerry Springer (loved the one where the daughter of this guy was sleeping with his truck driver buddy's gay lover.....WAHHH!!!)
She was ridiculously funny, and struck me as someone that didn't take things too seriously. Well, if she believed half of the things that came out of her mouth to be real, there must be something seriously wrong with her. Her dresses are always over the top. One particular one she wore on Beauty that stuck in my mind was the blouse where she had a parrot sitting on her shoulder. She's a straight woman wearing only what drag queens can get away with. I've also heard about her bin liner dresses although I've yet to see her in one myself.....unless that red dress in the pics are made from bin liners.
She also keeps us updated with world events through her extensive reading of News of The World. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/
And I love her voice....I know, its grating, but I love it!!!!
As you can tell from the pictures, we did buy her book. Matt's started on it. I will soon.
I think I'm having blogger block today....words are not flowing....thoughts are not forthcoming...
Doesn't help when I'm having a bloody sore throat which is becoming a cough...
I promise a better entry next time. And I really loved the positive comments left on my last blog entry.
" I see that although you claim to like home grown Austrlaian TV there is no mention of Home & Away. Must I speak with you again about your lack of commitment "
Erm....I think I know who you are, Nena Gong!
" Go back to the gym Fat boy! "
While I was initially taken aback by the frankness and viciousness of this comment, I understood that my loyal fans were merely trying to toughen me up and prepare me for the real celebrity world of New Idea, NW, Famous and Australian Womens' Weekly.....
Till my next blog....sniff...sniff.....
