Because it's fashion week here at Slapdash Mama I'm broadening the net even wider to encompass some fashion world news as well as my usual in-depth current affairs coverage!
- According to the latest polls, Tony Abbott is preferred PM again. Oh no, hang on, it's Julia Gillard again. Oops! Now it's Tony again - no, hang on, it's Julia! Tony! Julia! Tony! OMG. Lucky we only have 6 more months to go. SO ACCURATE! Gah! Stop the polls I wanna get OFF!
- A group of high spirited and enthusiastic members of the public disrupted proceedings during Federal Parliament this week. It was hard to make out but I've been lead to believe they were shouting words of encouragement to the Prime Minister. I'm no lip reader but I'm pretty sure they were saying something like "Julia Gillard we support you in your ROLE!" or "Julia Gillard you are funnier than Kylie MOLE!" It's just so fantastic to see people taking an active interest in our noble parliamentary democracy!

| Got this from Tumblr. Don't know where it's from originally. Please don't sue me. |
- Miranda Kerr had a car accident and is wearing a neck brace. Everyone remain calm. She's going to be OK. Also, she still looks hot. I know. Phew. Told you I would include fashion news!
- The House of Representatives has passed the National Disability Insurance Scheme Legislation. Still has to go to the Senate. It will mean we have a social insurance system for assisting people with a disability and their carers that all taxpayers contribute to.
- There's trouble afoot in the Australian cricket team (look, I try to care about sporting issues). Some blonde guy called Michael Clarke who is apparently the captain asked some other players to fill out their client service feedback forms and they said "Um, NUH!" and he became enraged and they got in t-ROUBLE and some other blonde guy called Shane
WarneI mean Watson (why are they ALL CALLED SHANE?) chucked a mental and went home to his lady. Pretty sure that's accurate.
- Sigh, urgh, more SPORT drama. The Cronulla Sharks have been having calf blood injected into their faces in a sort of new youth giving facial treatment. Or was that Kim Kardashian? God knows.
- In a break from tradition, the Catholic Church has elected a gay black woman with 5 kids as the next Pope! (I've written this part of the report in advance and just went with the MOST LIKELY scenario to be on the safe side!!)
There you go chaps, a little from column A, a little from column B. It's been a big week policy wise but I've only got so much space and time. I'm a busy and important woman, people! Time is money! And so forth.
Oh, I've gotten a bit sick of the OOTD stuff. But I haven't given up totally.
Here's a picture of me in my yoga outfit from last night.

| Earth mother. Excuse the pot belly. I am not actually 5 months pregnant, I just ate a big bowl of spaghetti and drank a glass of wine. What, isn't that what everyone does before their evening yoga class? |

| Check it. Tree pose. I think. Maybe I should do a yoga video? |
Don't do anything I wouldn't do. Like, exercise or go to the beach. Actually, ignore that. Do EVERYTHING I wouldn't do.

How do they even do the polls these days SDM? Can you do a post on it? Do they just ask people who are on a milk bread and magnum dash up at the local IGA?

I have no idea K. Maybe they just ask their mum? Mine always has her finger on the pulse...
DeleteThis poll is trooly excellent, like really sick, you just go you just go you just, like, go. About time for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, though :)
ReplyDeleteIt is good re NDIS. Seems to be getting limited media!
DeletePretty impressive all round, yoga and news ! did do to the beach today though well drove down there had a look and came back
ReplyDeleteThat's more than I did smr!!! Yes I am such a yogi!
DeleteSo that's why you're always so calm and centred and radiating ripples of serenity - yoga! Do we now call you Yogi-Mac? Your yoga outfit is my version of 'really making an effort today'.
ReplyDeleteYou could call me Yogi Bear? Pika nick basket! Serenity now!!!!!
DeleteI'm just worried that now we'll ALL have to be wearing a neck brace next season, and hospital beige does nothing for my skin tone.
ReplyDeleteBeige is the new black...
DeleteI am seething with rage at how good Miranda looks even wearing a neck brace. I would look more like that pharmacist character in Doc Martin...
D'you think cat shit would work in place of calfs blood and could I rub it in rather than inject it?
ReplyDeleteStill haven't got around to the PJ OOTD for your FB page but I'll post my Yogi Mac one instead ;)
Sarah! Step AWAY from the cat poo! Away I tell you! No good will come of it...
DeleteI will check out your OOTD right away and let you know whether it is HOT or NOT!!
but I have a plentiful supply of cat poo ....
DeleteThanks for taking time out of your busy schedule for that important update, Yogi Mac.
ReplyDelete6 more MONTHS?! Shoot me now. And I can't tell the difference between a footballer or Kim Kardashian either, I glaze over when either is on telly.
Hilarious! xo
I live to give Ness! Yes it is a long drawn out caper this election campaign. Long indeed.
DeleteAfter I posted that, I glanced over and realised you have me on your blog roll. I'm not very observant. Ahem. Anyway, THANKS!!
ReplyDeleteYou are WELCOME!
DeleteI am so over politics.... I think I'll just bury my head in a god book or 10 and then come up for air at election time. Waldo, I pressed that you managed to stay in tree pose while someone took your photo... Because when someone walks in front of me while I'm in tree it totally throws my balance off!
ReplyDeleteA god book? And who is this Waldo you speak of? Is he rich?
DeleteYes I am an impressive tree. Very trunk like.
Dammit that Miranda is wearing a neckbrace in a sneaky beauty technique they're using now to elongate necks, isn't she? I really don't want to have to do that. But I will, because I'm a sheep.
ReplyDeleteI really like your decorative yoga mat artfully placed on the kitchen bench. You should be, like, an interior decorator or somethink.
I know I am just so creative, practically Martha like! Stewart I mean. Obvs.
DeleteYes, maybe it is like that thing where people go to Russia and get their legs broken to make them longer? CRAY!
Hey, where did you get that school photo of me?
ReplyDeleteVeggie Mama the resemblance is STRIKING! Striking I tell you. Thank you for commenting!!
