Cynical question: do these vigils happen if we remove social media? Would so many be attending if they couldn't narcissistically post about it online?

Any of you old buggers remember anything like this happening before? The reaction seems way OTT given we never get vigils for, say, the innocent children that are regularly killed in domestic violence incidents.

(Edited but probably too late for anyone to take this post seriously now)

Nope . I don’t remember there being grief olympics held before social media .

Some parts of the outpouring around Princess Diana's death are the closest I can think of pre-social media.

Yeah I have fairly vague memories of that but can remember it seeming to be a massive deal at the time. Difference there is people actually knew who she was and many were fans already.

@booboo yeah I think you're right. Also I see one of the vigils was organised by Alison Mau and a womans rights group and talked about "NZs attitude towards women" etc so they seem to have jumped at the chance to push their message.

Alison Mau is an older ,less hot, more intelligent version of Lizzie Marvelly.

Good call , that was utterly bizarre.

Yep, that was bizzarre. Seeing normally sensible people that you know well, acting out some high level grief for someone they've never met but they held in high esteem just because her husband fancied some other ugly bird. Totally nuts.

The upside was there were some fantastic jokes doing the rounds afterwards.

Must have been a great time to be a florist too,

There’s been rumours online that our narcissist in chief was personally linked to the Czech scumbag and national have been grilling her over it .

The way the father has handled this and the things he’s said are incredible. Under the same circumstances I wouldn’t be able to act with the sort of dignity he has.

Elle was great in Sirens with Kate Fischer.

Do not check out what Kate looks like now, remember as she was before she apparently started mainlining lard.

My sister bumped into her in CDG airport years ago. Got a selfie and everything. Was more beautiful in person by all accounts

Worked on this chicks apartment, not a let down lookswise in real life but a cow of epic proportions to my boss.

Who is that?

Tina Arena aussie singer who was mildly popular a while back.

This photo reminds me of a well endowed friend of mine taking a huge wave to the chest that had a similar effect on her togs we was blissfully unaware of. While we stood on the beach with jaws agape she frolicked in the surf until my mates daughter took the water and told her what had happened . When the girl came back to the beach my mate told her she was grounded indefinitely , dad of the year right there.
