Yes, I’m late posting today. There is an excellent reason why.
Yesterday, we slipped into the city for my auditioning for another game-show. It’s a brand new one and from what the Producers were saying I don’t think I’m allowed to say too much about it. But that’s okay, I wasn’t going to.
I was, in fact, going to say how I stuffed it up big time.
Imagine getting up in front of about, oh, 60? 70? people? That’s not a problem for me. Saying something about yourself for 30 seconds? Fine with that. And so I did.
No – the mortifying part, the absolute pits, comes in the lift when you’re leaving and you catch sight of yourself in the mirrors and discover somehow your skirt zipper had come undone and the entire room could’ve seen your thigh muscles cellulite and granny-knickers!
Dear Sweet Jesus and all the Saints, what have I done this week to displease thee?
I got back to our hotel room, and Adam met me at the door: “Wow you shoulda been here the kids were a pest — don’t do this don’t do that don’t ring reception don’t play ‘ghosts’ in the curtains don’t get in the minibar don’t turn the radio on don’t play on the balcony and fall to your bloody death don’t play on the steps don’t play in the shower just don’t don’t don’t!”
And I say, “At least you weren’t doing a Britney in front of a room of strangers.”
*Sigh*

Well mum’s always say, don’t leave the house unless you’re wearing a clean pair of knickers, you might be squished in a car accident and then where will you be!
So as long as your Granny knickers were clean I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
You may be the number one blogger in Australia but you could be the number one blogger in the world if you didn’t insist on using this teeny tiny font. My face is so close the screen my nose is almost touching. Ooo? What’s that smell? You did say clean knickers right?
Cheers
Oh, I know it’s small, isn’t it? If I knew how to change it I would.
Wordpress people – some help here!?!
Can’t help with the font thing. Go to the support forums, they are a god send.
You beat me on the embarrassment metre. I went out with my fly undone on black pants wearing bright blue lacy knickers. But I wasn’t on TV. Unless it was ‘Mummies go wild in Safeway’……
This is the universe telling you to throw out the granny knickers!!!!!
No idea with the font. I changed mine in blogger by trial and error, but have no idea how to fix wordpress.
Perhaps the knickers could work in your favour, make you more memorable.
As for your font size, you can edit it in your style sheet. If you scroll down to the body section, and change the font-size: .9em; to a size or 2 bigger.
At least you were wearing some! It could have been a lot worse!
how embarrassing – I would have been mortified but that doesn’t make you feel better . I hope you wing it in anyway. Goodluck.
