Cleo’s mahn of the year
The 30 finalists for this year’s Cleo Bachelor of the Year are an eclectic bunch, with Home and Away, Wonderland and Neighbours actors up against AFL stars, A-League Players, world explorers, and a plumber.
However, the most bizarre pairing to make the final cut could well be Dom and Adrian, the Bondi Hipsters, who are obviously not content with just spruiking Old Spice.
Initially Dr Mumbo thought the clearly joke answers the pair gave to the questions would put off the voters. Then he read some of the other apparently serious profiles, and realised they might actually not be seen as a parody by some of those voting.
However, the pair appear to be taking very different approaches with their profiles, with Dom opting for a motto of “YOLO” (that’s You Only Live Once for anyone over 22 reading this) and Adrian “I exist. I really have to get to the core of absolutely everything that you ask, there’s no point in me saying, ‘Oh, a line that sums me up is that I’m sporty and I like nature’, like that’s really a veneer. Even then you’re only having a human experience, you know what I mean? You’re more of a spirit, so I am. I exist.”
I don’t know ihf I made it clear enough thaht I didn’t enter this competition mysehlf. Someone else muhst hahve totally entered me in it because it wasn’t me… I would nevehr enter this competition, ahnd I hahd nothing to do with it… So don’t pay me out, or anything like thaht… I know what these ad blohgs can be like, sorry bout it… And don’t say thaht I’m not a real person, because thaht actually hurts my feelings… I’m as real as anyone in the Liberal Party… Sorry bout it.
Dom, keep that full sense of creative control mahn, let the hair work you and don’t let you work the hair
