Excuse me, dahrlings, but...

Ice This

 

Honestly, Pumpkins, if there is an easy photo-op, travel types are all over it. Over the years I’ve collected pics of people in poses that would traumatize their therapists. But I’m too principled to post them (as long as the cheques keep coming in...)


Point is, if there’s a camera around, travel folk instinctively snap into position. And the pose du jour is ALS. If Hollywood can endure frigid, so can we! Although they didn’t invite me to witness it, I’m given to understand the orange team engaged in a group ice dunk yesterday. In case you missed the cause célèbre behind the chilly surprise that shrinks some parts and erects others, it’s to raise money for the fight against Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.


It begs the question why men don’t bare their bottoms instead of growing a stash during Movember. Now that’s a picture!


Last night the other dinkette watched yummy new Air New Zealand boy Chris Allison cool off after a heated game of cricket. All for the cause, mind you. Shameless exhibitionism. My goodness, you can see the steam rising from his chest. What a show off. I have ice at home! I know lots of fun games if you like that sort of thing! Call it a fun raiser, if it makes you feel better.

Columnist

Part legend, part myth, all woman: Ivanna Gabbalot is OJ’s gossip columnist and considers herself the industry’s conscience. Equally annoying to Open Jaw management and inflated egos in C-suites everywhere, Ivanna works infrequently, preferring to snipe from the sidelines.
