So our federal sports minister Kate Ellis has gone all girly girl and done a photo shoot for Grazia magazine wearing a leather Karen Millen dress and $1800 8 inch Gucci heels. She’s only done it to promote positive body image in girls of course, she wasn’t in just for the makeover.
“That’s an issue (body image) that we’ve been working really hard on, and if by wearing an outfit I probably wouldn’t ordinarily choose I can help fashion magazines to promote a healthy body image and raise awareness amongst their readers, then that must be a good thing.
“I want women to be able to read their fashion magazine if they so choose, and still have self-esteem and confidence at the other end of it. This is about working with the industry.”
Oh enough of the bullshit. I would just like our politicians to act like politicians. No more pseudo clever arse comedy shows, no more dancing around wearing pink boas, no more fashion shoots. I would have preferred to see Kate in her work attire being all sports ministerial while announcing her overdue findings of the Crawford Report.
The Crawford Report may not mean much to you (or Kate Ellis now) but if it impacts on Australia’s chances of winning future Olympic Gold them Ms Ellis will find herself covered with mud not designer wear.
Anyway from all reports Kate had a great time with the photo shoot having no prior idea that it would be so much fun, and that’s what is really important–our policitians having fun.
“I didn’t want it to stop,” she said.
For goodness sake is she five?
Isn’t that inspiring talk from one of our top politicians, a politician who belongs to the same party as those who pilloried Tony Abbott for taking part in an ironman contest. One man’s iron man contest is another person’s fashion shoot I suppose.
