FIVE COUGARS, THANKS

Shelly Horton, a friend of this site, appeared on the ABC’s Glasshouse program last week wearing a dress that, if Shelly wasn’t already a friend of this site, would make her a sordid focus of leering, degenerate perversion of this site.

Viewers liked it too:

"i loved Shelly's dress and would like to know where to get one. was really nice and had good effect on the men"

"Shelly Horton, what a babe !!! Where has she been hiding?"

"WOW! How good did Shelly Horton look on last night's show? SHWING!!"

"is there any reason Dave spent most of the episode staring at Shelly's tits?"

"Just wanted to say that I think the guest Shelly Horton on this evening's show is really gorgeous!"

"I want to know where Shelley Horton got that killer dress"

I happen to know from whom Shelly borrowed that dress, and I would like to remind the owner of that dress that she is forbidden to wear that dress in public. Now put your burqa back on and make me some tabouli!

(By the way, if you scroll far enough through the viewer comments, you’ll find this: "You guys should replace that boffin from the media watch program.")

A description of the dress in question would be nice...

Thank you.

A profound lowness (and upness, and outness) was observed in the, er, chestal region, Richard.

it is now only 00:45, yet Tim supposedly made this posting at 01:14. Tim is in New Zealand?

Is it possible to get a screen shot, please?

Please?

Am I repeating myself?

Ahhh, now I see, my 00:46 comment is labelled as 01:46. ONE HOUR, perhaps we are all in New Zealand? Or Norfolk Island, or somewhere? Gosh, can't wait to inform media watch of this. Tim Blair has clock problem. nyeh nyeh nyeh.

But such a dress would be offensive to our Muslim cousins!

I bet the ABC has had to schedule in a few more anti-Bush "documentaries" in order to make up for that one...

What the? When I do a google search looking for this Shelly Horton person, the closest thing I can find is this.

Certainly, this isn't the person wearing a leopard print dress that you are referring too?

After the Dan Rathers episode I'm afraid you'll have to provide some documentation to prove your story, Tim. We need screenshots! And not Shelly Horton's face pasted on Pamela Anderson's body either. There are plenty of Photoshop experts out there in the blogosphere who can spot a fake. Fair warning, Tim.

Ohh damm! After all that quoting I was expecting something special when I clicked that link. But boy!! -- was I disappointed! Damm thats the grammar again. Please upgrade to MT 6.11. I hear it corrects bad style and grammar. LOLOL

Sleeping in the den with the dog tonight, eh, Tim?

Forget the dress, Shelley Horton is one cool chick. I should know - she interviewed me last week for a segment on Mondo Thingo this Thursdee nite, ABC. I asked her to marry me, but she said I had no good prospects. I'm shattered...

You made that last bit up. The reason no-one has ever seen the dress is that you keep it for yourself, but are never brave enough to wear it in public, isn't that right?

Posted by: TimT at September 21, 2004 at 08:22 AM

I am disappointed, Tim. Disappointed that you are appealing to the prurientinterests of your readers, disappointed that you are dealing with Ms. Horton in an objectifying rather than respectful manner, but mainly disappointed that you haven't shown us the dress in question.

Please post a picture immediately so your readers can see what shameful women are parading around in these days.

Tim, getting us (well er, half of us, er, whatever) all worked up about a killer babe in a dress and then not showing us an image amounts to what our American cousins call "cruel and unusual", to say nothing of the Geneva Convention. For God's sake, if you don't care about me, think of the women: they want to see the damn dress! And don't forget the shoes.

I have it on good authority that if you don't post a picture of this babe in the subject dress IMMEDIATELY, a Special Operations Command task force will invade Australia for the express purpose of bringing you to justice, Tim.

You mean there has been someone on The Glass House who is pleasant to look at, has something intellegent and amusing to say, and who doesn't bray like Muffin the Mule at every idiotic utterance the regular panel produce? The show must be going to be axed.

Posted by: Habib at September 21, 2004 at 12:02 PM

Come on, Tim. She can't be a friend of your site AND a guest panelist on The Glasshouse. Talk about incompatibility!

Between this and you admitting that you encountered David Marr without inflicting any grevious wounds, I'm begining to worry about you sense of committment...

Posted by: Andrew D. at September 21, 2004 at 01:19 PM

A revealing dress is all the inducement you can offer! At the very least, I would expect to see a2m if I was to endure the unbearable awfulness that is the Glasshouse. I'd rather buy and read a Phatty Adams collection.

I kinda always had a thing for Virginia Hausseger myself...
