The dreaded mega-multicultrual news girl trap...

I hate it that news stations believe, most likely because of some ridiculous market testing, that they have to cast a token androgynous mega-multicultural newsgirl. You know exactly what I am talking about. The girl that is uber tan, a brunet, has high cheekbones, and has a ridiculous name.

For example, there is Ms. Aloha Taylor. First off, that name makes me want to tear my hair out. Sure she is beautiful and likely qualified for her position, but it is what she represents that irks me so. Why not keep your Hawaiian last name Ms. Taylor? It would have been fine with your husband and not uncommon in the business to keep your identity connected to your culture. Instead, you did what was likely to get you your position and take the ultra non-threatening, almost comforting, Caucasian last name necessary to work in the SD aria. There is so much more to be said about this practice and I will elaborate more later when there is more time. Meanwhile, let me know what you think.

I know that I rant a ton about names and you can blame it mostly on my job. I have had to do a lot of what the state department calls surname analysis, which is basically trying to determine what someone’s ethnicity is based on their name. It is a bogus practice, but I got to pay them bills somehow.

Yesterdays newscast...

So yesterday Chrissy and Ms. Neville's lead anchor stand-in were clearly having themselves a hot news girl cold war. It was reminiscent of the Jillian Barberie/Dorothy Lucey hot news girl passive aggressive battles I remember from back in LA. Why is it that hot news girls are so darn territorial that they have to attack even the smallest challengers to their hot news girl dominion? The world may never know the answer.

I personally was a Dorothy Lucey supporter and loved that she would interject smart ass comments directed at Steve when Jillian was saying something superficial and annoying. Chrissy, my advice is not to lower yourself to that standard and to be confident that you are clearly the hottest weather girl in SD.

What she is wearing...

Chrissy surely has a stylist or at least has a great since of what looks good on her. My girlfriend (yes, I have a girlfriend) has expressed a liking of/to what Chrissy wears, but as we are both working stiffs with no sense of style, we have no idea what labels she wears.

If there are any style gurus out there in the San Diego area that have that weird ability of being able to recognize labels I would appreciate your expertise on what Chrissy is wearing from time to time. Let me know!

Youtube can suck it right now!

Damn youtube does not allow me to post on Chrissy videos. WTF!

Opps, I forgot to mention...

Arthel Neville is a great name, which lands her in my cool person category. For the most part Ms. Neville keeps it real, but starts to loose my attention whenever she interacts with her co-anchor.

The Chrissy Russo Gazette (Herein after "The CRG") is...

a place where all red blooded Americans can discuss Chrissy Russo's weekday weather reports and all other worthy Chrissy Russo related stories. The CRG also doubles as a place for me to vent about all the annoying, pretentious, and sarcastic crap that Raoul Martinez says and does. For instance, the fact that his name is spelled "Raoul" and not "Raul" or "Raúl."

5 Reasons why Chrissy Russo is a better weather girl then Jillian Barberie.

5. Chrissy is much hotter!

4. Chrissy is not a D-list celeb name dropper.

3. Chrissy never has a s@$t face all morning long.

2. Fox 5 uses that awesome overhead traffic/weather camera angle on Chrissy.

and the number one reason that Chrissy Russo is hands down better then Jillian Barberie is...

Drum roll...

1. Chrissy Russo wears those awesome short skirts/dresses that show off her legs.

God bless you Chrissy!
