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.

When hair removal goes public.





Makeup lady: So do you mind if I pluck your eyebrows a bit?




Me: No, that's...fine.




Makeup lady: (starts work) Cool.




Tour guide: (at door) Knock knock...we interrupting anything?




Makeup lady: Not at all, come on in!




Tour guide: Great.




*Enter forty ten-year-old boys in school uniform with wide eyes and awed expressions*




Tour guide: That's right, everyone in. There we go. Now, this is the ABC's makeup room. And can someone tell me what happens here?




Boy 1: People get makeup put on?




Tour guide: Correct! And can everyone see there in the chair where the lady is getting her makeup done?




Class: Yes.




Tour guide: Can someone tell me how long it might take to make up a pretty young lady like this?




*pause*




Tour guide: Anyone?




Boy 2: Two hours?



Boy 3: A year?



Tour guide: (gamely ignoring smart-arse) Two hours? What do you say to that, Tracey?




Makeup lady: Not quite. I'd say about half an hour, forty minutes.




Tour guide: Even when it's such a fine young filly like this? I would have said thirty seconds, AHAHAHAHHAHAHA.




Class: ...................




Boy 1: Makeup is stupid, anyway.




Boy 2: Yeah. And girls are ugly.




Class: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA.





*long pause*




Boy 1: What's she doing to that lady's eyebrows?




Tour guide: (bright) Right! Who wants to go and look at the Playschool studio?





Class: YAAAY!

No smirks from the grown-ups, considering what the future holds for those impressionable young innocents? Tens years from now those same boys will be preoccupied with female hair removal and left only to fantasize what else they might have seen if they had of lingered on that day.

*sigh*

Dave said...
Correct BBK. Sure, now they believe in 'girl cooties' now - but in a few years they'll be behind the shelter sheds ignoring their severe risk of infection. Not to worry Ms Fits, we, your loyal readers would have hung around to see you get your brows plucked. That's just the kind of audience you attract. Scary huh?

Blimey, forty minutes? Who's your makeup lady? Baz Luhrmann?

Yes. He just goes by the name 'Tracey' to bewilder onlookers.

Um, Tracey is a blokes name as well. Unlike, say, Fifi or Juliette. Its not a blokey blokes name but its masculine application has it antecedents.

I don’t see a camera. I see a robot built for mime, with half an orgasm for a head.

ROFL. That tour guide could well have been an old school friend of mine.

Hahahaha. Admittedly at first I wondered why you had a makeup lady in your home. LOL

And rustique I think your camera is very clever, even if it is only half way through its orgasm.

I wish my life was as action-packed and hilarious as yours. If this was my blog, this post would've consisted of "Today I wore pants for 1 hour. Discuss."

Class excursions were the best when I was 10.I would have been a mix of boy 2 & 3 .The smartarse the teacher ignored and the one the kids laughed at. Not much has changed

I'd be interested to hear the boys comments if they toured a female clinic
28Mar15:26
ms fits said...


Tracey may well be a masculine name also BUT SHE IS QUITE CLEARLY REFERRED TO DURING THE POST AS 'MAKEUP LADY'.



That is all.




p.s. Tyler. Stop ruining Monday's richly comedic pants-related post for me.

You’d have to ask yourself, “What would Danny Green do?” After a brief meditation it should be obvious that some brats just need an a$$ whompin’.

Also the entire time I was reading I imagined that it was Mr Kotter and the Sweathogs who burst in. There was laughter in a can.

Tyler. Start your own blog. Going by the smirk tahts still lingering on my face, id enjoy it.

I totally read the heading as:

"When hair removal goes pubic."

Puerile? Me?
28Mar16:56
Ben said...
I must point out that "Tracy" is a man's name. "Tracey" is a woman's name. Duh.

What kind of ten-year-old is interested in Play School?

Imagine the comedic possibilities of hair removal and "You kids! Get off my lawn!"

Oh yeah, Ben?

What about Dick Tracey? Hmmm?

this is a very funny anecdote. were you staring straight ahead with laser eyes boaring into mirror or did you close your eyes, grit your teeth and think of ways to immobolise children?

Was that tour guide attempting to flirt with you?
In front of a class of boys?
While your eyebrows were being plucked?
*cough* Sleaze.

Tyler, I would suggest your life is a rather rich one if you only wore pants for 1 hour. What were you doing for the other 23.

Janine Kennedy said...
Since we can't ask questions anymore can I at least make a suggestion that you write your thoughts on Libby Lenton / Trickett or whatever she is calling herself today. What do you think about the trend of young women being subservient to their partners and giving up their name? I thought those days were over. Interested to hear your thoughts oh wise one.
p.s. you don't need 40 minutes worth of makeup. Some red lippy and you are ready to go.

undies inside out said...
Names dont have correct spelling or gender. Its however mum or dad put it on your birth registration. Kerry/Kerrie, Kris/Chris, Geoff/Jeff. If Tracey's mum has a lisp she could spell it Twathee if she wanted to. If you visit your local primary school you'll see that people seem to be intentionally putting odd spellings into their kids names (or is it a sign of our sms generation illiteracy). You could call your son Mary if that is what you want. Cruel but possible. Probably no worse than hippies calling their kids moon beam etc.

I know a few female Traceys with both spellings

@undiesinsideout

The book Freakanomics has an hilarious analysis of how names and their spellings (d)evolve as they filter downwards from the alphas to the trailerpark. Dannii will always be my favourite.

What is she doing to that lady's eyebrows?

Heh. Lady! I'd like to meet me one of those!

Re 2020 Summit:
Awesome news Ms Fits. How excited are you? And much are you cacking yourself?

I'm confused as to why you need makeup when you're on RADIO......
Isn't the point of radio that you don't have to look pretty, made-up etc?

At least they didn't walk in on you getting a brazilian.

Only 8000 people applied for that gig, what a joke! One in 8 selected, that's better odds than getting a job at Maccas.

You know Ms Fits only got an invite because if she is part of 2020 she can't take the piss out of it.
I suggest you send an imposter Fits.

She's on the teev too anonymous.

She's multitalented our Fits, she can read n write and shit, as well as make the funny's on the wireless.

Ben said...
I should clarify. "Tracy" can be male or female. "Tracey" is only female. If there is a man called Tracey it is because his parents wanted him to be a girl. Don't try to argue, I have millions of years of history on my side.

Marmalade, I know you're joking but the misspelling still burns like sacred fire...
30Mar07:35
richwell said...
So our Ms Fits can represent us at the 2020 conference? Hmm. We need less jokes in parliament and more fun in politics. So ideas for more fun as the point of public life could be a serious suggestion to take to the meet? Oh and I would vote Ms Fits for president in 2020.
30Mar10:51
Marmalade said...
Yeah, my bad, Ben.

On second viewing I realised Dick Tracey was a Dadaist porno, starring a leg of ham from last Christmas and a Galapagos Tortoise wearing fishnets.

Still looked remarkably like Dick Tracy, though.

squib said...
I think eyebrow defining is a private activity. I would be aghast at such an intrusion. Oh thank GOD I'm not famous

Fortunately for everyone I have a 35 000 Baby Name book at hand. Under girl's names we have Tracey but note that its variants include: Trace, Tracee, Tracell (what?), Traci, Tracie, Tracy, Tracice, Trasey, Treesy, Tracia, Tracilee, Tracilyn, Tracilynn (now they're just being silly), Tracina, Traceci, and Treacy

I'd like to suggest that we as a group reintroduce the word 'filly' into mainstream usage.
30Mar17:46
leasypeasylemonsqueezy said...
This is where you went wrong.

When asked "Do you mind if I pluck your eyebrows a bit?" the appropriate response is:

"Sure! As long as you don't mind me twisting your tits hard until they feel like they're about to fall off!"

Not sure why anyone would do put themselves through it. I'd rather go painlessly bushy.

Hell, it's a good thing she didn't have the wax strips out !

leasypeasylemonsqueezy, I guess you're still single. Go watch A Place In The Sun with Elizabeth Taylor and you'll realise why you should pluck them.
