The Harsh Light of Day

And so it was decided that just over a year ago, there would be venting, there would be nastiness, and there would be mocking of all people's fashion choices – especially the Young Divas.

That’s right people, it’s a year since I began Harsh Lighting people and boy, the fun just hasn’t stopped. From small beginnings of an email to friends, to hate mail, celebrity mail and Tiffani Wood, it’s been awesome.

Year Two hopes to be bigger (not really because that would require work) and better (not on the spelling and grammar checking part). The major goal this year is to get Melbourne Spring Racing invitations. That’s right kiddies, Mummy wants to go out – spread the word that you’d love to read my blog direct from Spring Races and hopefully some major marquee will sponsor me (shut up, I can dream). Come on people I think we can make it happen – remember it’s not what you know, it’s who you know and how you use them!


Emily Barclay

We haven’t seen Miss Barclay for sometime here at Harsh Light – that may have something to do with her excessive use of black tights. Maybe she went to tights rehab and like Lindsay Lohan didn’t quite learn from her rehab, as I don’t think Emily has really truly commited to lessen her use of black tights. Say it with me Emily, ‘we first must admit we have a problem and then take the steps to face the problem.’


Erika Heynatz

Admittedly I’m not the hugest fan of Erika’s choices. She’s got the absolute complete package with which she could make a very pretty picture. Most times she finishes her pictures and then ruins it by splattering stuff all over it. Tonight however, I’m suitably impressed by Erika. The dress could only work on some one with her height but work it does, the shoes match and the hair is soft and lovely – so much so I think Pantene might be on the phone Erika.


Isabel Lucas

Izzy’s back! Wherever she went, she has returned from and so have the Jesus sandals. Listen Izzy darling, I’m all for comfort, it’s my primary goal when dressing, but we’re not talking about me (we should though, as we have very similar tastes in men). The point is, Jesus was a great man, wine into water, that’s some good party tricks but Izzy, the last I heard, you didn’t have that number up your sleeve. So maybe until you’ve mastered that, maybe step out of Jesus’ sandals.


Krystal Forscutt

What I love about this girl is absolutely nothing. I think she’s a vain, untalented waste of space. What’s even more exciting is, now thanks to her phone-sex renditions of songs on Singing with Celebrities, she will be appearing on red carpets more often and will therefore be bringing that quality slutty quota to each event. She is our lovely equivalent of the Page Six girls in the UK and while that’s a compliment to her, for most it’s not.


Kit Willessee

I’m all for marching to sound of your own drummer, dancing to your own beat and all those empowering euphemisms for being a sad loner. There comes a time though, when you realise you’ve wandered so far from the pack that you are Miranda in the drag queen reworking of Picnic at Hanging Rock.


Lisa Hensley

It’s hard, it’s so hard because there’s nothing particularly offensive about this outfit at all. The boots are fine, the tights are very in, the jacket is okay and the hair is standard. But it’s all a bit mumsy for me, it’s all bit too much Parent Teacher Interview Night Planning Session. Hey Lisa, I’ve got the scones sorted, can you bring the coffee and tea?


Libby Richmond

Okay Libby you’re cold? You’re hot? What’s going on here. We’ve got a sleeveless one shoulder dress and belt but then we’ve got riding boots, scarf and leather jacket. Unless you’re about to head off on The Amazing Race and you’re preparing for all climates, you need to make a strong decision. Hot or cold, pick one and stick with it.


Maria Venuti

So the story goes that even though her show wasn’t nominated and she would have no reasons to be there, Mrs Venuti was a little miffed that she and her heaving bossom weren’t just invited for good times. Well join the club Maria, I’m still waiting for my invite! I get the feeling that this outfit was the Logie dress reused. And surprisingly for Maria, the rack is actually quite demure (in regards to what it normally would be!), of course it could be the angle and the fact she’s wearing Plucka Duck’s cousin.


Pia Miranda

Good lord this girl does so well. Every six months she just appears, wearing a delightfully trendy, very flattering, very cool, hip outfit. It’s the kind of outfit I envy and then of course, stupidly try and imitate and end up looking like a Giant Purple People Eater threw up on me. Still, Pia the sign of great fashion choices is when the masses try and copy and fail. Makes you look better and also garners more respect from the triers.


Tara Moss

Giant improvements from Miss Moss who let the leather fetish go and turned up looking sexy without looking whorey. The colour is quite interesting and the fit is snug but sexy. It gives her a fantastic J-Lo ass, and if we learn anything from J-Lo, it’s all about the ass.
