So You Need A Typeface

Foxy Update

In an amazing and entirely unexpected turn of events, I had a reply to something I sent to Victoria Coren on Twitter.

And people say they can't see the point of it.

Twitter, that is...

I can confirm that the word "injunction" formed no part of her reply.

Perhaps it was news of me assaying forth to London and back in the following conveyance that did it....

Inside, it was much more tasteful though...

Foxes In Disguise

If, like me, you find the world of celebrity completely off-putting, I invite you to join me in a celebration of a group of women I call “Foxes In Disguise”.

Now, a FiD is not generally lauded in magazines such as Nuts etc, so if you're footballer, look away now. No, your typical FiD has talents beyond mere looks but what distinguishes them all above all is the “In Disguise” bit. These are attractive women who don’t confirm to the societal “norms” of attractiveness, “left-field” if you will, but for those of us in the know, their fox-ness is plainly evident.

Here's a starting list of FiD's that have caught my discerning eye.

Jessica Ransom

 Jessica is a comedienne who has starred in one-woman shows at the Fringe as well as occasional appearances on the Armstrong and Miller show. Clearly a woman then that you could have a jolly good night out with and who wouldn’t require you to tell her jokes. Phew, pressure off then.

Stephanie Flanders

BBC Economics Editor - My heart stops every time she utters the phrase "fiscal deficit". She also wears knee length leather boots on the BBC 10 O'Clock news. Nurse, the screens !!

Kirstie Allsop

Reality TV Person, but I'm assuming she only does that for a bit of an ironic laugh. Soft and warm, you'd never have to worry that your house was anything other than “smashing”. Perhaps some might query a certain mumsiness, but I just have to hear her speak in those rich, posh tones

Nicola Walker

 Ruth from Spooks. Intelligent, smart, brave with a far away wistfulness that demands you to hug and protect her and to offer undying love and support for ever and ever. That Harry Pierce needs to up his game, I think. Plenty of winter walks followed by a bottle of Red whilst curled u in a big jumper, I'd wager.

  

Victoria Coren

Writer, blogger, Porn film Director (yes really) and Poker Player. What's not to like ? Victoria is also presenter of the BBC's brainiest quiz show, Only Connect. And you just know that she's smarter than most of the contestants. I imagine her to be funny, sharp and with a temper not to be trifled with – an excellent mix in my view. Although she has some slightly suspect politics (well, it'd be something to talk about), her mind disguises superior level hotness, barely.

This one almost blew my mind !!!

More FiD's as and when I discover them. Feel free to suggest some others :-) As for any accusations of sexism, I'd just like to say that I bow to no man in my respect, awe and worship of women. I wish they knew...
