or has Kenneth Williams dipped her in a vat of plastic and turned her into a mannequin from “Carry On Screaming”?

Oddly, I thought that was a ‘v’ -as in ‘Evos’.
‘Would a mother name her son Eros?’
-well, maybe, depending on the mother. Some mythologogues reckon his mum was Aphrodite, Lurv Goddess. Others say he was fathered by Poros and his Mum was Penia (ergo: by Plenty, out of Poverty -which sounds OK). These posters are in Italian cafes and pizza bars fucking everywhere.
I think ‘Evos’ was a Mitsubishi model.

It does have that sort of look doesn’t it. A spraying motion. Sort of like the armpit equivelent of spiderman’s wrist web action. Doubtless Erosman sprays his villanous opponents with pheremones inducing sexual confusion. They are thus rendered helpless.

From Wikip
“His success greatly lies beneath his unique voice which could be described as somewhat nasal but yet a bit aggressive at the same time and he always delivers catchy, melodic tunes throughout the refrains of his songs that are passionate autobiographical ballads often rich in soft-rock influence.
He also has the ability to spray female fans from a special gland under his arms, rendering them stupefied.”

Pardon my ignorance, TLA, but I’d never heard of Eros Ramazzotti before today, and I still have no idea what a ghd is, despite their advertising effort, if that’s the word.
Fortunately, Wikipedia http://tinyurl.com/53ng2o has not only come to my rescue once more, it’s done so in a cape with its undies appropriately worn on the outside. Behold.
“His mother has changed his original name into Eros (Greek Love God’s name) to be able to baptize him due to priests’ refusal to baptize those who would carry offensive names resembling suburb rascals.”
Having solved that mystery, it then gets a whole lot better. You might want to sit down for this.
“In his personal life Ramazzotti remains with only few good friends, mostly due to his suspicious personality.” Nothing to do with BO, clearly.
Furthermore, if little has been lost in the translation from German, then this insight into your juxtaposition of his image with ghd’s is offered in this quote from his Stern interview.
“As a child growing up, there were no books in my parents’ home, no suggestions were ever made how to even have a decent conversation, no guidance was provided in search of oneself. The only source of information that I would get from my father was the inappropriate photos of women.”
Speaking of which, the ghd ad looks less like worst photoshopping, http://tinyurl.com/6rv5xf , than one of these. http://tinyurl.com/42kxkr If so, then imho, it’s not so worst.

The ever delightful Michelle Hunzinger finally had the good sense to give up on him after a short marriage.
With her natural wit and intelligence, I suppose that getting involved with him in the first instance can only reasonably attributed to immature naivety, commercial opportunism, too much booze and smoked herring and/or any combination of the above.
I can tell you, she looked real good draped “au naturel” across the rocks on the Emerald Coast of Sardinia in 2002.

It was a quiet week down at Allen Park. Eros (Call me Eros) Ramazzotti dropped by and came with me as I walked the dog down to the the wine dark ocean.
Eros and I have the sort of relationship that doesn’t need words. At first blush his English is shithouse anyway, nasal but aggresive, and totally incomprehensible.
We walked in silence. At the outset I showed him a picture of some tits I had found in the bins behind Swanbourne beach. Without a word he pulled out a copy of a column where I had reviewed Fellini’s La Strada, where I put the question, “What the fuck is a Strada?” I still don’t know. All I do know is that it was no Mamma Mia.
Through a series of nasal whistles and and sprays from his underarm gland, Eros (Call me Eros) made it clear he was not happy with 6PR’s promotion of his concert, particularly the choice of Adrian Barich as MC.
I explained with a mixture of bombast and ignorance that I no longer had any influence at the station.
With an unusual fluency Eros said, “Barich. He fat Aussie Cunt.”

GHD make hairdryers, straighteners, that sort of thing. The ad refers to a ‘ghd IV styler’, whatever that is. It is unclear whether the ‘IV’ refers to ‘four’ or ‘intravenous’.
The latter may go some way to explaining the young lady’s deformed appearance, I guess.

Something like ‘you might’ve been captured by the fashion designer aliens and turned into a plastic shop dummy but you can still have a shiny head of styled curls’? If so, it hasn’t encouraged me to buy the limited edition IV.

Ronn Moss is all man. He does not live with his mother. He appeared live in person for the first time in Australia (at the Burswood theatre!) long before Eros Ramazotti was finally allowed to have a passport. He does not have a ‘limited source of information about everything’. He doesn’t have to raise his arm to exude pheromones.

Mr Cohen,
I believe she is advertising herself. Her real name is Kikuyu and she is an orphon from the Eritrean war. Apparently she was adopted by Liz Taylor’s bodyguard and this photo is over 20 years old. Originally it was used to advertise the size of white peoples brains and why they were deemed best to run Africa. It backfired and now she’s a junkie is Amsterdaam and her enormous head houses several homeless people. Her fingers are artificail but are rumoured to hold the key to where the body of Jesus Christ may be buried.
Of course this is all second hand infomation and I may well be wrong.
