The bad news? I slept in my car on Wednesday night. The good news is because I'd planned to, I'd had the car cleaned for the first time since 1996. When I picked the kids up from school they thought I'd bought a new car.

I slept in my car alongside dozens of others, by choice, in an event organised by WISHIN (Women's Information, Support and Housing In The North) to raise awareness about the escalating rise in homeless women and the shameful lack of resources. Particularly for older single women with no history of mental illness or addiction.

So, writer, photojournalist and beautiful man Chris Beck made this TV pilot using me as a guinea pig late 2007 with Renegade (the producers of Rockwiz). "It's in part arts show, talk show, celebrity interview and creation of a powerful new portrait."  Chris's words.  Not mine.  So anyway this was shot late 2007 at my place with my kids and their dad after I'd just launched my first book. I hate my eyebrows and am looking a bit chunky but I thought you guys might like to have a squiz.  I think the show is a great concept. Love the show.  Hate myself. As you do.  Send Chris some love and tell him what you reckon or book him for work at www.chrisbeck.com.au.

My firm belief as a professional in the area of "What I reckon based on no evidence or qualifications whatsoever" is that AM TV turns brains into lumps of ash coloured phlegm that smell like Laurie Oakes' crack. Let's not call it a belief but a hypothesis shall we? And while you're at it you can call me Professor.
