Who'll Be Watching Ja'mie in Private School Girl Tonight?

[icyfroth]

IT'S been described as "confusing" and "possibly illegal" but Ja'mie of Summer Heights High fame has gone ahead and done her first men's mag shoot.

The Private School Girl star has posed in a "world exclusive" for Zoo, raunching it up in her uniform and long socks.

Chris Lilley, the man behind the character says he was shocked at how good the final shots were.

"I didn't know how it would look to be honest," he told news.com.au, "but when I went over and looked at the test shots, I was like 'that is insane'.

"I got a really good reaction from all the staff at the mens mag too - they were really into it, they could not stop laughing."

Without wanting to appear like too much of a professional glamour model, Lilley said he - sorry Ja'mie - nailed the shot in just five minutes and there was very little touching up done to the pictures, with just a bit of armhair being airbrushed out.

"I basically just slipped into the tight-fitting uniform got pre-wet and then sprayed down and oiled up, there was a bit of leg shaving and make-up work before, but I just had to commit to being hot.

"I somehow knew what poses to do and because Ja'mie believes she's hot, it's easy to fall into the illusion of it.

"It must have been all that time practicing her selfies", he said

Well I watched it. It was pretty cringeworthy.

I don't like this character much (and i don't think he hides his dislike of the real thing too well either) but i found the brothers from Dunt in the backblocks of SA well done and accurate (i've lived somewhere just like that) as well as the Juvenile corrections Officer. (i've met them) of course only some are like the character, but its very close.

I find the character repulsive... never watched the show and now have even more reason not to.... 

what kind of men buy mags to view pics of teenage girls???  (and yes we all know that he is not a teenage girl) 

If the story is true and Zoo mag did do this then it says a whole lot about mag dosen't it? 

And if more men try to hit on your teenage daughters don't complain if you think this is ok...

Well that's a fair enough comment, Cat, but I'd be more concerned about the way schoolyard bullying is satirised in the show, if anything.

With regard to men hitting on teenage girls, I think the way some young women behave when they're drunk and the style of clothes they wear would have a large bearing on that as well.

I too find the character repulsive on so many levels I do not know where to start! 

As far as posing for mag and worrying about looking 'too much as a professional glamour model', he cannot be serious; doesn't matter how well he copies some young girls' mannerism there is no escaping the fact he is a 39 years old man in drag.

I did actually watch it, sort of; I do like to know why I hate something; but no way i will watch it again.

What about Dame Edna????

When I went to private school back in the early 60's the girls weren't exactly like this but they were close.

I agree, but certainly not the potty mouth language which got a bit too much for me.

The most appalling thing for me was they way the character spoke to her mother.

It became just too tiresome for me.....never again.  Although I did like the Heroes series.

Yes that shocked me a bit too, but sadly, it's a reflection on today's society.

I live down the road from SCEGGS (Sydney Church of England Girls Grammar School) in Neutral Bay, and also just down the road from McDonalds in Neutral Bay.

You'd be shocked at the provocative behaviour and bad language used by some of the girls (still in school uniform) after school hours, at MacDonald's. With pics taken to be posted on social networks.

I don't like men dressing up as women for entertainment, it just does't do it for me.

I dislike Dame Edna character, Danny La Rue (yes I am that old LOL) and others. I think Danny La Rue was the first one I saw and I can remember asking my mother why is that man dressed as a woman so blame him for my dislike of all men dressing as women to entertain.

ok

I forgot to mention that I did watch the show last night and I didn't find it overly offensive but there were parts of the show that made my cringe, ie the way Ja'mie talked to her mother and the nonsense while driving, but, as I said I already disliked it before I started watching it so it is hard to laugh when you watch with a closed mind.
