I am in the Diamond Valley Leader.
That's my home town.
In the photograph, I am jump-starting a gum tree, with jumper leads and (these are the photographer's words) "crazy eyes".
If you are a Diamond Valley resident who maybe went to school with me or something, please understand that I was not in a serious accident impeding my intellectual or physical abilities, but merely am a victim of the media machine.
While we're at it, why is it that if you're a woman you're instructed by press photographers to "stop looking pretty - we want to see whacky. You're a comedian".
Why can't I be pretty too?
You are always pretty too :)
Oh lovey, you simply must read this months Vanity Fair. I quoteth.
"It used to be that women were not funny. Then they couldn’t be funny if they were pretty. Now a female comedian has to be pretty—even sexy—to get a laugh."
It's just another one of those boring as batshit "Comedians Without Penii, Funny or Nay?" articles that springs up once a year or so. But it's worth seeking out for the behind the scenes photo shoot with Annie "Can You Say Cheese" Leibovitz (who better not die before she photographs me). Of course, the two funniest are the two who are most ready to go for the joke, rather than the glamour. Mind you, those two don't exactly bark at cars for a living...
