HAYESY THINKING FROM SEXY SAM


We did the LOL thing when we read this ever so subtle pisstake of Nuz reader Sam Hayes by John Drinnan.


Here's her defending her stance to wear but not eat the good bits of dead things

Hayes, by the way explained in the article about her rationale on leather given she was a vegan saying she was happy to use the byproducts of meat production.

She has standards though.

"I will never wear snake skin. I will never wear alligator.

"I will never wear calf skin," the TV3 environmental reporter told Remix.


If its all about killing things then one has to be consistent. No use of any part of the said dead animal at all. And so apparently she is happy to don a bit of lambskin but not snakeskin.. Again she makes a judgement about what creatures are more deserving of her devotion than another...

No leather, no shoes, no handbags. No wool. No feathers or there is no credibility. Her stance makes here look seriously vaccuous.

Not sure why Sam Hayes is willing to sacrifice her reputation over a bit of tanned hide. Shit the skinny ginga bitch would look fantastic in a hemp sackcloth.

MAU TIPPING THE VELVET

We have been watching the unfolding story of Alison Mau's personal life with half a jaded eye. All ho hum really. So she apparently likes girls.

However, things took an interesting and what we think is a sinister twist today and no - its not the pics of Alison on the front page of Womens Day. that have us worried.

It her use of Breakfast TV and Close Up to fuel her own PR machine.

Celebrities are happy to court the media when they want " their side of the story" published. as Mau did here.

But its not okay when the media write stories they dont want people to see ?

First we get a uppity and outraged Mau giving the mag a broadside about "stalking her." on Breakfast TV .

Then she uses the state broadcaster to take a shot at the boys and girls who make a living out of the gossip of the rich and famous on Close Up.

This is the " top story" on close up tonight - its all about Ali.


Seven minutes of utterly indulgent pap looking at the Seriously Important issue of media divas whining about the apparent injustices metted out to them. Lets just forget about all the stories they have covered about other peoples lives.



There should be a case for Mau to be charged for the teletime she has used to fuel her own PR machine. Bad form and a seriously misuse, no actually abuse of public resources.

wonder what her kids thought of the Santa Kini...








My - my hasn't she come a long way.

Can we have some real news please?
