Jule’s Jewels Again (April24)

Online those fabulous ear-rings disappear in the thumbnail pics. I’ve been missing out. 7:30, Q & A and all the rest prob. set her off just nice—low lights, no close-ups, she chooses her best side. Good looking b-friend you can understand why she don’t like leaving at home with Gina Rhino and then all those award-winning cougar journos circling. Has the guy bin offered featured soaps and dramas. He must be making plenty knocking back reality TV/adventure isle carrots. Even mag. spreads would be plenty juicy. I hope they don’t find any texts or recordings. Just saw her in a pic with the Chin Foreign Min, shining newly cleaned choppers. Poor dud beside her not a hope in the world, hardly a blimp of wattage. Hard to make out the pendants though, you’d have to go to her Fbook page. Seems she has some of the crust followin her purely for fashion hints. Nice red dress in this China thing, respecting the NY, good canny diplomacy...Just tried enlarging the item see if there was a hint of canine in the form, hard to tell. Chin dude was putting shit on the new Quad grouping, pissed being cut outta the action, Oz, India, JP and.... someone else. Yeah, the US. Still couldn’t make out the shape of the pendants. A kind of blue tint in ice or glass-like material, some special dig somewhere in WA. She’d have a fair wardrobe allowance wouldn’t she, tax deduction whatever, stands to reason advancing the country’s interests tirelessly. ‘Parently the Abbott hates her guts, the knifing by the Deputy unforgivable. Exercises, running, fit, in nice tailored apparel again. She mighta bin a little itsy bit of a looker thirty-five years ago, but nuthin like this splashy attention, back in those days nothin like that smooth boy she’s got tangled now. I’m just drafting a piece on a Minister here tackling the problem of all the plastic the island generates. This little thing is almost precisely Jules’ age, but in Asia the boys & girls go much harder at age & death-defy. Must remember to count the undyed next time the Peoples’ Committee meeting in Beijing or the show here. Hand it to him, here the PM sits easy in his grey mop, nicely shaped design, only the top stylists pull off that kinda bunched number he sports. There will be pictures of John in the files circa 1965-6 maybe carrying the same, a layered and gathered affair with foreshortening on the outer edges. In this house-share currently three Chin uncles with young foreign wives are dyed; one younger Malay has chosen reddy tint and not too sure about two others upstairs. (One young office lad looked like mother bought him his clobber, mailed from HK.) Must confess, force of circs I’ve bin using an Indo charcoal conditioner couple times a week thinkin it might perhaps over time give subtle jet. Nuthin thus far 2 - 3 months. With proper dye bout three weeks good wearing, after which you’re best go again. Woeful some of the streaking and patches, people tryin to stretch it out can’t afford more. Do-it-yourself isn’t expensive, $6 - 7 a sachet.

NB. A friend in Melbourne preoccupied about the upcoming Batman by-election hasn’t been able to let go the Australian Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop. Numerous exchanges, of which this another.
