Ann Summers bowls Bitch over
Bitch must say that Ann Summers knows how to get her male contemporaries to a lingerie event. First, send out an invitation that promises a free private screening of the new ad, which debuted on Bitch's favourite show The Only Way is Essex (Towie), and second, promise a Champagne reception at a model search competition, where the 10 finalists will be chosen for the campaign, to be screened on ITV2.
As you can see from the picture, the guests gathered at Shoreditch House and clamoured to get a better look of the ad, which was placed by Omnicom agency Goodstuff (didn't you boys and girls?)
If that wasn't enough, Bitch's spys tell her that the event, which took place in the Pin Room at the venue complete with bowling alley, spontaneously broke out between the models to see who could knock over the most pins.
A strange thing to knock over - a lot of wood standing to attention, but Bitch wouldn't like to suggest anything Freudian in that.
Oz or bust
Bitch would like to say au revoir to one of her favourite outdoor men (for the time being) as Clear Channel's new interim CEO for Australia Rob Atkinson, who by now should have touched down in the land of Koala Bears and golden sands.
However, Bitch hears that Rob used the Media Week Awards as his unofficial send off, before he caught his plane on the 31st of last month, taking his family to their new life of sun, sea and surf.
Apparently, Bitch hears, he had arranged a quiet affair with a few contacts to see him off on the night after the awards (the Friday), but felt so worse for wear he had to cancel out of the whole proceedings after getting back in the small hours.
Bitch is sure some of you naughty types can empathise, especially those of you who were standing outside the Grosvenor trying to hail cabs at 3.30am in the morning, or the even naughtier types who headed to the Met Bar to join Stephen Miron and Mike Gordon from Global Radio as they pushed on with their staff following their triumph.
Hairy Rock
Bitch has always liked slightly grungy men in leathers, and no more than the crew at Malcolm Bluemel's Planet Rock radio station.
The boys are set to become even more raaawwwk, with Zapata moustaches galore as they partake in the annual Movember event to raise funds for research into prostate and testicular cancer.
Jonathan Arendt, managing director of the station, sent around this note, which said: "All of us at Planet Rock are donating our top lips to the cause for 30 days in an effort to help change the face of men's health. My Mo (six days in) is already generating a mixture of laughter and general horror…"
Well, Bitch always likes to provide her loyal readers with a good laugh, and a bit of general horror, so here is a picture of Jonathan and his valiant attempt to sprout upper lip facial hair (so not an attractive look, darling, but it's for charity, so Bitch forgives you).
Good luck to the boys at Planet Rock (and Bitch would never discount the girls, who inadvertently may not have waxed for a couple of days). So, because Jonathan bravely gave in to the "no tache, no link" blackmail from Bitch's friends at Media Week, here's the link to his page
Until next time you naughty boys and girls.
