GT is a “Foxy lady”
Cats: Uncategorized|Unfortunately, it’s not in the Hendrix sense of the word.
This typist ended up live on Fox News last week while in New York. I was having a drink in the Waldorf (as you do!) when Fox News rolled in to set up one of their yak-yak sessions on the falling markets.
They asked if I wanted to appear on the show.
My first thought: they want me for my searing intelligence and rapier-like wit.
My second thought: they want me for my Angelina Jolie-like good looks?
Their thought: they needed people in the background to make it look like a crowded pub.
In other words, they needed a background prop. So, I was live on Fox News as a background prop.
Probably better than being live on Fox as Fox talking head.

Fox owes you a big thank you for classing up their programming, if even for the few moments you were on camera.

I got a little scared reading this thinking you were a talking head on Fox News. Phew.

FOX knows whatthe rest of us know, you’re a babe.

I disagree. You are the Foxy Lady in the Hendrix sense of the word. It is a pity that these boobs couldn’t see it to, but then discernment doesn’t seem to be a prerequisite for working for Fox. They did take Futurama off the air didn’t they.
Glad to here you had a grand time and the photos are smashing!

I’ll bet they were all like oh my god there’s a nova scotian with a blackberry. You brought that place to its knees, Foxy! Even if you didn’t get to set them straight on geopolitics.

Bubs, thanks, although I rather doubt I left a lasting impression with them…
Allison, I think I blanched on live TV when that thought occurred to me.
Dr., now I can put “background prop” on my resume
Doc, I’ve never been a big fan of Fox but they did do Simpsons.
Is that the Aussie version or the remade-american version. Is it good? I loved the Aussie show.
Barbara, unfortunately they didn’t want me for my devastating intelligence.
