Media ladies prefer to be ‘stripped down’
SEPANG: The women working at the Formula One paddock prefer to go naked under the intense heat –neck up that is.
French journalist Anne Laure Bonnet, 30, said she doesn’t wear much make-up because it would run in the heat and leaves streaks on her face.
“I only put a bit on before we go ‘live’ to look a little more fresh.
“I put on some MAC powder and Benefit lip gloss, and that’s it. Elsewhere, I would wear a bit of blush as well, but not here. It’s just too hot,” she said when met at the paddock here yesterday.
The TV commentator for Sky Italy also swears by a special cream she bought in France to keep her legs feeling cool.
Ferrari press officer Stefania Bocchi, 40, who sports a healthy tan too, prefers to keep her make up to a minimum.
“I wear sun block in the morning, and that’s about it. We’re also very busy here, so we don’t really have time to touch up our make-up, so it’s best to keep it natural,” she said.

Now this is an article that appeared in the Malaysian Star newspaper today which was the second most read article of the day. When I read the headline I too was intrigued by the news story (for obvious reasons), but was sorely letdown when I read the rest of the article. What a fizzer. What an anti climax. How can the writer and editor resort to such deceitful tactics to get people to read his nothing article? How do you even go naked face up? Maybe the writer is being tongue in cheek, but it borders on a sexism, not that I'm a great advocate of anti-sexism but I don't condone sexism either, especially when done in such a suggestive way. Don't you agree that the article is basically crap, describing ladies and their make up or lack of it and fear of it running streaks along their faces. Blah! Get a life! Second most read article in the Star for the 6th April 2009. Must be a very slow news day.
