Ms Fits is an irritatingly smug 32 year-old television writer who yearns to be Bob Ellis but will settle for Bob Hart. At least he gets free meals. Pompous nobjockey.

How to get the attention of a relatively famous person through manipulation of the press.






'She isn't concerned that Andy Lee's cohort is an on-air rival – or the little matter of her current boyfriend.

"Hopefully we won't let our professional lives get in the way of our future romance," she said. "I'm still in negotiations with my boyfriend about the Hamish Blake open-relationship thing and Hamish's girlfriend is yet to be consulted, but I'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement."'

“Little” boyfriend. A word all boyfriends love to hear in public.

Always attractive when a fan has heat for you, I prefer when they chest flash me first, I strongly advise this. The H man may have doe eyes for you already toots.

I have observed another that has something for your ideas, and possibly your pigtails and charm. Their man writings definitely reflect reading this blog. The confirming 3rd act borrowing one of the current year’s titles.

I don't know who anyone mentioned in this blog-post is. Should I be proud or ashamed of that?

Thanks to Anthony for putting the link up. When I first read the quote out of context, I thought it was
from that Megan Gale. Hamish and Andy and Megan: now there's a threesome I don't want to see.

Jesus Criminny, you're "on-air rivals" with both Sonia Kruger and Jackie O. Do you think they're aware of your contrasting opinions of them? Maybe you and Kruges should conspire on something that'll make Sandilands explode and take out O as well. Just saying.

You already have a boyfriend, greedyguts! Leave Hamish for the single ladiez (prime case in point: me).

Won't it be awkward sitting across from the woman you've, I don't wanto say it but more or less 'replaced'?

Ben said...
I don't think it will be awkward, given Myf left of her own free will. Of course it will be awkward sitting across from Adam Hills, you know, because...you know.

Should you make Spicks, have all the Hamish you desire. I'll take the dreamy Adam, with cream and a cherry, thanks very much...

Dolly said...
Oh noooooo, Ms Fits, Hamish is mine! That ruffly hair, those teeth, that guilty-yet-proud twinkle in his eye, like a schoolboy who's been sprung with a naughty magazine... I've been lusting for ages!

Please don't take him just because you can!

The Pronunciator said...
Ms Fits, please can I ask an impertinent question about your first name? I'd assumed (based on nothing at all, really) that the last "e" was pronounced. Not a long vowel (rhymes with "freaky"...) -- just a short one, like in "Rebecca". Now you're on the radio, I find I've been mispronouncing it all this time.

But I like my pronunciation better! So, my impertinent question is -- if I asked nicely, would you consider changing it?
16Jan10:25
squib said...
Oh! I like that dress. Where's it from?

(this should worry you because I was raving about pantaloons not so long ago)
16Jan10:38
wag said...
The Pronunciator, I thought so too! I thought she pronounced it the way the Dutch do.

Maybe her parents only ever saw it written down and assumed the "e" was silent?

I know enough Cres-ee-das and Anti-go-nees to know this is not an uncommon problem.

Ah, just another example of The Courier Mail failing to understand a 'tounge in cheek' comment,

or failing to understand anything that is funny in a clever kind of way. Not funny in a ha ha ha, someone just got hurt or has a dog wearing clothing kind of way.

And always nice to have a mention of your Grandad.

that's all a bit desperate isn't it?

I mean I know you wear your annoying characteristics as a badge of honour and for that I do salute you...but publicly begging to be asked onto a TV show....

why do you want to be famous? no seriously...why?

lou said...
oh surprised, please do lighten up...
16Jan14:35
Bec said...
...and anyway, Surprised, getting on Spics & Specs isn't about being famous -- it's about getting a shag (or at least maybe a blush) from young Hamish. You coudn't ask for a nobler reason than that, surely?

Rose said...
I have long been a fan of H.Blake. Remember the 'Almost Tuesday Show' anyone? My affections for him went up to dizzying heights but these days has been reduced to a mild appreciation, mainly due to his substantial increase in popularity. So often you'll fall in love with a person, a band, bar or a restaurant only to be trampled over by Johnny-come-lately bringing up the rear. I'm all for sharing the love in small circles, but not with Fad-boy or Trend-girl who will descend upon my particular affection and tear off chunks and hand it directly to some publicity agent to chew on. I heartily congratulate Blake for what he has achieved, but I don't want what the public has already dined out on countless times before. I'm no talent scout, but I do find my heart is broken by mob-mentality quite often.

Rose, does that mean you'll be discarding Ms Fits soon? Ms Fits, if you want to keep Rose, you better hope your ratings don't get too high!

I know how you feel, but... isn't there a touch of teenage snobbery about dumping something just 'cause it's no longer an exclusive little secret? Do you like things because they're good, or because it's hip to be obscure? To quote someone earlier... just sayin'!

So people here are really more interested in swooning Hame-way than in the prospect of inter-wireless scrag fights? I'm clearly in the wrong place.
16Jan20:01
Rose said...
Let's put it this way, I don't think Hamish is less talented than he was around 4-5 years ago. (Sadly I think Andy Lee is..) However! It is excrutiating torture when some plod informs me that I should listen to 'Hamish & Andy' because they are the best new talent going around and have I heard of this new group called Snow Patrol? I don't deliberately set out to like obscure things, but I find them here and there and I bask in their cult status for a while. Ms Fits I suspect is well known to Melbournians, particularly in the Green Guide, so I'll let her through to the keeper! (Though for the record many of my friends who listen to JJJ were baffled at who she was).

Weekly column in capital city newspaper; Syndicated pieces in same publisher's papers; Writer of cult hit TV series; Regular guest on nationally broadcast TV series; National radio program every weekday morning;

If that's not already famous, colour me surprised.

The Last Scientician said...
Oh, and one other thing, your great aunt was probably better known to 90% of Australians who watched TV or listened to the radio in the 1970s, and yet they always go for the Frank reference.

I reckon you're a lot more Maryesque, personally. Shame swearing on TV doesn't get the notoriety it once did, eh?
16Jan21:59
Gotlieb said...
The great aunt was brilliant... scatty... but brilliant, the Frank reference was for the intellectuals ( in the 70's, those who would/could read).
17Jan11:13
squib said...
This is all very well and good but I fear we are forgetting more important current events

What about THOSE sideburns?
17Jan12:04
The Last Scientician said...
The Frank reference is also for people who watch TV. It was the highest rating series of it's time when it was aired. It was still rating well on the third repeat, apparently. Bloody lefties.

cult hit TV series?

Kudos to fits for getting anything vaguely interesting up on Australian telly... but I think the cult hit tv bit doth go too far.
I think Fits would even agree.

I don't reckon Ms Fits is too concerned about being constantly referenced by her Grandfather.

Dickheads, huh? How can quoting someone directly without commenting on the value of that quote be regarded as lacking humour? Dare say let the words speak for themselves. Read funny to me, which I gather was the intention of the person uttering them.

Fenz said...
hmmm, this working nights thing makes it nigh on impossible for me to be awake at such a ridiculous hour. I hope it's all going well for you Fits

I also have a craving for crumpets now!
18Jan10:34
The Last Scientician said...
I didn't think there was a lower limit on culthood, and there is a reasonable number of viewers who wanted more LMS, and even bought the DVD.

It was either that or "Award winning children's TV writer" but the cult reference sounded cooler.

Bros said...
Annon. - looks ok when you read it on the web. If you had been reading the entire paper and come across it, you would realise that there is NO WAY that the person who wrote it meant it to be funny.

NO WAY.

It was of course highly amusing to the Ms Fits fans and readers of the blog - and to those who have a certain sense of humour - but the journalist would have written it to be an annoying little twerp - and to have a dig at anyone who is associated with JJJ.

(which is still associated in Qld with the ABC and therefore all about fancy book learnin')

If you really want some entertainment, buy the Sunday Mail from Qld next Sunday and play 'spot the relevant and current news stories amid the ads, second rate ripped off celeb stories and funny stories about bottoms and kids getting hit with swings."

I do.

Yep, you look good.

If H isn't in serious negotiations right now with his current partner re some kind of arrangement, i'd be very surprised!

I would just like to offer a few humble words of encouragement to Ms Fits in her quest to attract the attention of Mr Blake. Throughout history (OK, I exaggerate!), even the hardest-hearted and most cynical of men and women have had their curiosity piqued by creative attempts to woo them. From that American dude who made a website to track down this girl he met on the subway (google 'nygirlofmydreams'), to Andrew Hansen's attempt at using song to pick up one of the Veronicas on an old episode of The Chaser, hope is given to anyone who has ever wanted someone they couldn't have. :)

I loved that interplay of the Liberals, can you get it in a neighbour's script for me, God only knows that is challenging stuff? BTW, are you that 45 yo bird with the 13 year old girl pigtails? Mate, it aint an analogy, its an old bag holdin on!
