Buxom wenches kick ass in Christchurch

Shame on you Christchurch Casino: Christchurch Casino says it is reviewing its dress code and was already doing so when it received a complaint from a woman who says she was "humiliated" after being asked to cover her ample breasts..

As an ample gal myself I feel her pain. What next? Will gents with combovers be expelled from their hallowed gambling halls? It just ain't cricket. Why are big boobs only acceptable if they are silicone and leering from some men's mag?

Silly old Campbell Live on TV3 is choosing to deal with the story by talking to Nicky Watson. Jeez they're fake!

Ironically President Hugo Chavez railed against a new trend in beauty-conscious Venezuela, giving girls breast implants for their 15th birthday. "Now some people think, 'My daughter's turning 15, let's give her breast enlargements.' That's horrible.

The other story Campbell is covering tonight; "We meet a woman who has set herself a most unusual challenge. At 21 years old she's decided to have eleven babies to eleven different fathers. Find out how she's gone about it and more importantly, why she's doing it."

Ah bless, investigative journalism at its best. Al Jazeera rip your heart out.

The cartoon Drawn Together has been wowing us on Prime TV. Filthy good fun, and I'd like to say you'd like it if you like Family Guy. But they don't tend to shit on pizzas there. Anyhoo, while the Pokemon-alike character Ling Ling is my fave, I am a bit of a Toot Braunstein I think.

The news has been dominated by the tragic story of Pumpkin.Here are some other things that have been in the news or out on the interweb:

Our boob-job warriors: ADF defends breast enlargements: The Australian Defence Force has denied paying for breast enlargements so that female sailors could look sexy and said taxpayers only footed the bill if the surgery was needed for psychological reasons. The navy paid $10,000 each for the sailors, aged 25 and 32, to have cosmetic breast enlargements, newspapers have reported.

Ahoy mateys - have fun with generation. Might I recommend the Marie Suzette generator - instantly create an obnoxiously romantic original character.
The red-gold-haired, ultramarine-eyed beauty known only as Marguerite has a secret: not only is she a notorious courtesan, she is General Lamarque's daughter! Her feathery angel wings and a talent for languages set her apart from others

I was at the LIANZA library conference - pics here. And we was on TV3.

Anyone who has been near my desk at work will have noticed this rather fetching image on a postcard on the wall. The artist is John Currin and his paintings are quite freaky.
