In a curious way we find ourselves deeply entertained by
Cactus's nomination for the Madame Cliqout business woman of the year. We spent most of yesterday with the previous winner Julie Christie, who was out flatmate and classmate of the 1979 Wellington Polytechnic Journalism Course. She was New
Zealands inaugural winner of the award and she surely deserved it.
However our bright flower of youth has surely wilted, as last night some of our class, who had not seen each other for 30 years, mistook the
glamourous Julie for me.
Ahh those wasted wanton nights of the past have taken their toll on Busted
Blondes fair countenance. Where as hard work, and its rewards now shine from Julies. Dam it.
And today Christie herself is in the news.
It is a prestigious awardAnyway, we are delighted that
Cactus nominated Lisa Lewis for the award. We have always been fans of legalised prostitution. It provides a safety valve in society.
And
Lewis has
glamourised the profession and has willingly
promoted herself and her work earning top dollar for her services as well. She knows the value in looking after her assets and is prepared to invest some capital in plant renewal. AKA a bit of gravity defying silicon in her rack. And knows the value of maintenance - keeping everything in top order with a exercise regime that requires considerable discipline.
More over, Lewis has taken the shame away for her job, she has helped give it a friendly face. She has turned
prostitution into another suburban service like a dairy.
You go to the dairy to get milk. You go to Lisa to get milked.
Lewis also understands and uses marketing to great effect. She seizes every opportunity she can to promote her product.
Seriously though whats the difference in the way Lewis uses her assets as compared to someone like Nicky Watson or Charlotte Dawson?
We say that she is an admirable choice. So we salute Cactus for taking the initiative to nominate her and we salute Lisa for being a good nominee.
