1:41 PM. Is that you Justine? You gave the game away with your word choice. Write something like this next time: 'I wouldn't kick her out of bed.' Or even state the basic intent: 'I'd like to have sex with her.' They both do the job nicely..

1:35, if Mel had continued to win awards, I'm sure she would not be leaving. Saatchi is no place to rest on laurels.

6:12AM, exactly how many award shows are you saying Mel should have won at since Cannes 2006?

1:35PM, is that you Mel?

She won almost half of their awards at Cannes this year. That's hardly resting on your laurels. And it was on their hardest client.

One woman in, another must go out. You can't have too many females in the one creative department, now can you?

Yes heaven forbid the Saatchi' boys club should have to many females around to cramp their style. It would be far to threatening for the Creative Directors ego

C'mon, there's been many a talented male creative that have missed out jobs because some tart in a low cut top has played the 'bloody oath I'll improve the scenery round here' card.

So stoping whining about gender imbalance and get back to Art Directing your boring Tampon ad. Okay? good girl.

Well, someone is a little insecure about their manhood.

Don't tell me, you're short, balding and drive a porche to overcompensate for your "is it in yet" penis.

While you're down there. Good boy.

From your bitterness, it's clear that you haven't won nearly as many awards as these two talented women. And for the record, I am a male who finds losers like you embarrassing.

Heading down to the strip club tonight?

1:48- There's a lot of talented male creatives who definitely improve the scenery too (in Melbourne at least).

You're clearly not one of them.

Lighten up people, it's a blog.

My point: There's a disproportionate number of female creatives that are attractive. Ugly male creatives? Yes. Ugly female creatives? Hardly any.

Further, given most CDs are viagra chewing middle-aged men susceptible to a bit of eye candy, gives more credence to the theory.

I've heard waaaaay too many stories from people about sleazy CDs...which, again, galvanises the theory.

If it's a 50/50 call over a job. The CD will go for the scenery. Consciously or sub-consciously.

I'm not a sad old chauvinistic twat (Good luck to wotshername...Smiths Crisps TVC was brilliant) just a REALIST who doesn't mind winding up the precious gits out there.

Ugly male creatives? Plenty
Ugly female creatives? Hardly any.

Are most CDs middle-aged viagra chewing men susceptible to female eye candy? Of course.

I'm not a sad old, chauvinistic twat (and certainly not a pom) etc etc, just a REALIST.

It's kind of disturbing how many stories I've heard from young females about sleazy CDs.

If you're an AWARD graduate and had two people of identical ability and personality wanting to work with you, one looking like Jennifer Hawkins and the other looking like he's Bert Newton's disabled love child, who would you pick? Would you decipher who appreciates typography more? Nooooooooo. So there you go.

Once, I stayed in a caravan park in Emu Plains. At a pub the following night, some local kids referred to it as 'the murder park'.

Don't back-track. Now you're blaming the 'viagra-chewing CDs' for your sexist views? I wish I knew your name so I could spit on you.

Mate, if anyone needs any further proof of the aforementioned theory, have a look at Cummins office in Melbourne. Everyone from the tea lady to senior creatives is an absolute stunner. Sean has always been very good at that. And they do decent work too, so it's obviously working....

12.47- the sad old chauvinistic twat- I know lots of female creatives that are 'double baggers' so i really dont know what youre talking about.

I'd like to think no CD would be dumb enough to spend their budget on someone because they look like a tart.

1.48.I don't know where you work, but I don't know any female creatives who even wear low cut tops. Normally they cover themselves up and have to work double as hard because of pigs like you.

Just to clarify for all you dickheads who are approaching this from a position of ignorance: Justine is clever, talented, smart, perceptive, intuitive AND gorgeous.

Who gives a shit if the work comes from a male/ female or a chinese whale saving lesbian/homosexual, as long as it’s bloody good.
I’ve worked with Justine and she is more than capable of producing good creative for clients and award shows.

She is also gorgeous and a very nice person who I am proud to have worked with.

For the record I’m a bloke.

To the sexist dick who I doubt even has a job: you are the sort of person who would accuse a Jewish creative of getting a job because someone in the agency management is also Jewish. In other words, you'll always blame your lack of talent on everyone but yourself. Look in the mirror, mate.
