invite as plus one of current wife susie, who founded and runs the fashion label the vampire's wife (which is popular with various mid-age royals)
He was invited as one of 14 "outstanding Australians". Susie was not there, or if she was then she wasn't with her husband.

What, they managed to find 14 outstanding Australians?

(joke)
Guess Angus Young doesn't count as an Aussie then. Did they have 14 oustanding Scots too?

Never forget:
Rowan Williams- Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations.Complex and with clear Eastern influences, Rowan is the flagship flavour of the Sensations range.

He should have gone the Vicente Fernandez route - let the hair go white but dye the eybrows (and mustache) black.

If Cave had shown up to the coronation dressed in full Chente-swag that would have been an improvement.

i guess where i'm coming from is that as mortal people, we are all vulnerable in that sense ... aging, mortality ... attack the aspects of the person where they aren't, or, something
― sarahell, Saturday, 6 May 2023 20:09 (one year ago) link
if you want to go down that road then even vile politicians and monarchs are vulnerable and life on public messageboards might become very dull
― calzino, Saturday, 6 May 2023 20:14 (one year ago) link
i agree - body shaming or looks shaming or whatever is never good. even if it's aimed at somebody who is worthy of contempt it touches on anybody who's ever had to endure it and it plays to the culture of worth being measured by looks
― contrapuntal aversion (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 May 2023 20:17 (one year ago) link
i understand the point you're making calz but i think that's the underlying issue with mocking aspects of people that aren't their character

we can still hate them for all the horrible things they do and say as a result of their vileness ... there's plenty of material there.

I don't feel like taking the piss out of the vanities of a daft old man goes into that category myself

I don't see body shaming, more like shaming the excessive vanity of the man here
― calzino, Saturday, 6 May 2023 20:20 (one year ago) link
there's a thin line between vanity and the insecurities most of us have tho
― contrapuntal aversion (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 May 2023 20:24 (one year ago) link
i think it also becomes a distraction ... which, yeah, i guess we need our distractions ... but, i just remember all the comedians' jokes about Trump having small hands or being fat, and it's like, ... ok, Comedian, you have all this attention on you where you can criticize this horrible evil man in power, maybe you can say more about the horrible evil things he does and the systems that are complicit and the people that are complicit, because there are certainly jokes to be made there ... idk

lol even my last post sounds bad tbh, but I find it hard to care in this case. I would never be like this with an ordinary citizen.

as a bald man who considered a hair transplant i think it's ok to comment on his hair. i'm a little jealous if truth be told. as a teenager i aped his hair for a fair while and all those industrial quantities of xxxx strength hairspray + crimping + intense backcoming are very likely a contributory factor in my lack of hair now.

granted this is just ilx and we don't have any real power or influence here so it's not a big deal but ... it does make me uncomfortable ... but then i am not being oppressed if I just don't read/participate in this thread so ... whatever, sorry i brought it up

I'll just get my baldie credentials in. I was steadily receding since my 20's but it seemed to slow down and now I've still got more hair than some of the people who took the piss out of me. But ultimately if someone made a baldist comment at me I really don't care. And this creep really deserves to pilloried imo. It doesn't necessarily cause offense to other people taking the piss out of an old vain prick.

This is just funny given how you often seem to refuse to think about things in a structural sense, Sarah.
Anyway, this isn't Trump. Nick Cave gets far more defenses than Trump does, but he will also (unlike Trump) disappear from the news cycle tomorrow.
