Cute blonde chicks in Sweden are a dime a dozen, at least as common as rugby players in NZ, and the NZRU can't hire all of em.. Modelling in fashion is an ultra-competitive industry where females are selected for their looks -- which can include hair colour, hair length, height, skin colour, age & weight -- and a good reason why you don't see many females over 35 employed to big contracts. (Yes fellas, there are some hot lookin' cougars over the age of 40, you'll find out, and not ALL of 'em can get modelling contracts either.) Agencies are under no obligation to employ pretty girls if they can't get them work, for the same reason some good rugby players may not make the ABs. Selectors may have other more suitable preferences, and if the rugby players who miss the cut shoot youtube videos playing the victim-card bellyaching that life isn't fair, let's get out the kleenex box and have a good sniffle. It's tough shit, but I can't feel too sorry for her -- hot 18-year-old chicks have got the world by the balls and seldom hear the word "no," which is probably why she's upset.

This is such a myth. I went to an AC/DC concert in Stockholm and I saw stuff all hot young blondes. Sweden looks like a bunch of middle aged bogans to me.

Memo to aging metalheads... hot 18 year old girls in the year 2015 are just not that into AC/DC. (KInda the way I seldom saw rugby players crowd surfing at Topp Twins gigs in the 1980s.) Yes, I know that's close to a high crime in some parts, and it vexes me tremendously, but it is what it is.

Ha well I randomly went to Sweden's Hultsfred festival in about 2008/9ish, very different from your acdc experience..and even better it turned out the kiwi accent carried a heck of a lot of weight over there!

Not sure if anybody caught the rather awesome Paul McCartney interview in Esquire last month. It's online, definitely worth a read, here's a nice sample:
 
 
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
ESQ: Youâ€ve been knighted. Do you feel part of the Establishment now?
 
PM: No, not really. I donâ€t hang out with many aristocratic people. I just donâ€t know that many. When I was made a Sir, it did come up. I thought to myself, now probably Iâ€ll have to go to banquets with all the other Sirs. But the thing is with me, the women I happen to be attracted to really donâ€t fancy that. Theyâ€re not social aspirants, really. I sometimes say, â€œMaybe we should go! It could be good!â€ But itâ€s like, â€œNah, letâ€s not. Letâ€s go to the pictures.â€ Iâ€ve never really run with that crowd.
 
ESQ: Like it or not, youâ€re a national treasure. That can blunt your edges, it makes you seem cosy and tame.
 
PM: Like Geldof. Got knighted, never sold another record. That was it!
 
ESQ: Exactly. Are you aware of this image of you as this rather cuddly figure?
 
PM: Itâ€s something Iâ€ve not cultivated. But I think when you become a family man, when youâ€ve got grandkids and you openly admire them, that gets cuddly. With the knighthood, you have to consider whether youâ€re going to accept it or not. Someone said, â€œThereâ€s a certain cachet in turning it down, you know?â€ I went [exasperated], â€œI know, Iâ€ve read a bit, you know?â€ I was thinking, â€œOh God, what do you do?â€ Then I saw Bobby Charlton. And his attitude was, â€œIâ€m really proud to be British.â€ And I thought, â€œThatâ€s the one.â€ So, I just said Iâ€m proud to accept it. I like the Queen. When we grew up she was a babe. Oh, yeah. We were like 11, she was 21 and good looking. And she had a figure on her. I shouldnâ€t say this about Her Majesty but we, as schoolboys, we said, â€œLook at the fuckinâ€ heave on her!â€
 
ESQ: Have you taken the opportunity at one of your many meetings with the Queen to tell her this?
 
PM: No! But I say it regularly in the press hoping sheâ€ll read it.
 
ESQ: Flirting by proxyâ€¦
 
PM: Listen, she was a very pretty girl. Look at the old photos. We definitely admired her physical attributes.</blockquote>
 
The whole thing is pretty great, and Her Majesty certainly comes away from the interview looking a whole lot better than Yoko, yeeowch.

It constantly bemuses me that McCartney is often put down in favour of that (admittedly good muso but) pretty despicable person Lennon. Yeah, take that Lennon fanbois. ;)

Despicable might be a bit harsh. Probably would have voted for the greens though.

For some reason that article wouldn't work for me, his music got really cheesy after the Beatles split but as Nepia points out Lennon was a pretty horrible person and undoubtedly a green voter. 
Does the article explain why he married that loon a Heather Mills? I heard they split after he bought her a new artificial leg for Xmas and told her it was a stocking filler.

canefan

Why does anyone marry? I think he is a romantic and was in love. Also explains why he neglected to make her sign a prenup, his biggest mistake

Thanks for posting that. Really bloody enjoyed it.
 
By contrast, I listened to a podcast where Alec Baldwin interviewed Paul Simon (Called 'Here's the Thing') and it was like pulling teeth trying to get insight out of him.

Macca's name came up in relation to a small mining accident in the South African goldfields where there was a cave in. They eventually got the last guy out but he had had one leg crushed by the fall and was likely to lose his job. "Who would want a one legged gold-digger?" he asked.
