Our Cate in crocs & Aussie strippers robbed
Always one to keep up with the latest news I feel compelled to defend ‘Our Cate’ against the naysayers complaining about her beach attire.
A rip curl rashie, boardies and some crocs. I mean FFS… you really can’t get much more Aussie than that. I mean, sure I know Cate Blanchett could have donned some rubber thongs and been carrying a stubbie, but jesus, give the sheila a break. She’s in Vanuatu and we all know how dangerous coral cuts can be – flip flops just don’t cut it!
And just as dire is the fact that apparently – at some point in the past – Aussie male strip group Thunder from Down Under (yes, really!) were robbed at gunpoint of their costumes and makeup. Now I don’t want to make light of the fact that the alleged gunman apparently fired his gun narrowly missing one of the stripper’s heads (didn’t he know he didn’t to aim for the larger, densest body mass?!?)… but I can’t believe the Aussie guys weren’t just a tad embarrassed to be reporting that crime to the coppers.
“He took my Calvin Klein g-string and my Revlon rouge Officer!”
I have to admit I’d be a little disappointed if a bunch of buff blokes couldn’t take down a guy compelled to pinch costumes and makeup. One of them surely could have pretended to have had a gun down his trousers. Or something.
In other news, I over-shared yet again yesterday in an interview with the lovely Lisa from Random Acts of Zen. It’s not something I’ll be promoting on my personal Facebook page and the like, but what’s the point in writing if you’re not being honest. Right?
Have any recent news stories tickled your fancy?
Is it just me, or does Cate look great?!

July 9, 2014Ha! Thanks for the early morning giggle!
They were seriously robbed??? ha ha! I guess I shouldn’t be laughing. There was a serious crime committed here!
And as for Cate, I happen to like that she can go from the likes of Prada shoes on the red carpet to a pair of Crocs. I do rate how normal she seems to be.
Happy Wednesday!

July 9, 2014I know – plus she’s sun-safe! What’s not to love!?

July 9, 2014That is hilarious, both Cate and the robbery!!
I have to wear a rashie or I burn so I see no problem with Cate. Although I am not a crocs girl!!
Debbish
July 9, 2014Nah, I don’t own any, but I don’t go in the sea either (but live opposite the beach!). If I did though I’d probably get some surf shoes. We don’t have reefs or coral but there’s the occasional rock etc.

July 9, 2014So the robbers ended up with 8 pairs of jeans, eight belts and a few g-strings? I’m sure the make-up was really what they were after so they can disguise themselves for their next heist.
Debbish
July 9, 2014I think so. Wonder if there’s a detailed police report somewhere re what the would-be-robber planned to take!
Lee-Anne
July 9, 2014Haha! What a juxtaposition – Cate and those muscle-bound strippers! I didn’t recognise Cate at first – it’s refreshing to see Cate looking ‘normal’ – there will probably be a run on crocs now, she’s making them cool!
Debbish
July 9, 2014Probably. And for all we know she just bought them off a street seller in desperation – rather than specifically making a fashion statement!
Sam
July 9, 2014That’s a woman comfortable in her own skin right there… love it
Debbish
July 9, 2014Absolutely!
Bec @ The Plumbette
July 9, 2014I read about Cate in the paper and I was cheering her on because I have the same white skin, not as skinny of course, but what she’s wearing is something I would wear to the beach, minus the crocs cos I don’t own any. As for yesterday’s post, it was fab! You probably felt vulnerable but honestly it was a lovely read. X
Debbish
July 9, 2014Thanks Bec – I was very nervous about sharing it (yesterday’s post that is). Not Cate of course cos I think she looks fabulous!
Min@MinsMash
July 9, 2014I hadn’t heard the fuss over Cate’s attire but I reckon she looks great! Love her pale skin, crocs and skin savers! I mean – God she could wear anything and rock it!! I would not have recognised her though!
Debbish
July 9, 2014No, it’s nice seeing a celeb type dressing appropriately and responsibly for the sun (and comfort!) – not in a teensy bikini with ripped abs in readiness for a trashy magazine’s “Bikini Bodies” feature!

July 9, 2014I must have missed both of these “newsworthy” items but your retelling of both stories had me crying with laughter … too funny!
Debbish
July 10, 2014Hmm… Not so newsworthy in my book! 🙂
Jess
July 9, 2014Best post I have read all day! I laughed out loud at the thunder down under robbery! As for Cate, what a legend, she looks so young for her age too!
Debbish
July 10, 2014I almost want to hate Cate: I mean…. Talented, beautiful and (seemingly) nice! But it’s almost impossible!
Susan Lattwein
July 9, 2014Cate is great, and probably doesn’t care what they say. I hope so. She’s looking after her skin.
🙂
Debbish
July 10, 2014As a freckly child of the 80s who donned coconut oil, I say Yay Cate! x
Lisa@RandomActsOfZen
July 9, 2014How fabulous is our Cate?!! I love how down to earth she seems.
And I really can’t thank you enough for your honest post yesterday Deb. xx
Debbish
July 10, 2014Thanks for letting me share Lisa. xx
Emily @ Have A Laugh On Me
July 10, 2014Fugging hilarious! Can’t say I’m worried if they aren’t wearing much! Poor Cate, I say she’s being sensible!
Debbish
July 10, 2014Poor Cate…. I know! Now if the strippers dressed like that…..
Emma Fahy Davis
July 11, 2014Ha ha ha ha, robbed! That is a classic! As for Cate, looks like the perfect, sensible beach attire given how fair her sun is. Growing up in Australia sure teaches one about the power of the sun and the pain of the burn!
Debbish
July 11, 2014Absolutely…. my dad had some really vicious skin cancers (and maybe what got him in the end), so sun safety is a biggie for me. (Sadly less so when I was in my teens in the 1980s and baking in coconut oil!)
Trish
July 13, 2014Thanks for the giggle. Cate is outstanding …I love my pink sketchers (like crocs but with a heel. $1 at the Salvos.
Debbish
July 14, 2014Am sure they’re gorgeous!
