Which is why we’re delighted to report on Tanya Hennessy, who hails from Belmont.

Tanya’s been kicking goals in social media land, with her parodies of make-up videos and other comedy skits like “When you know you don't need to go into Kmart but you do anyway”, “Things girls say on their period”, “Songs no one knows the lyrics to” and “When you’re a Christmas pig”.

She’s even been dubbed “the Aussie Amy Schumer”.

Some of you may not have encountered the weird and wonderful world of make-up videos.

It basically involves pretty girls posting YouTube videos of themselves putting on make-up.

Make-up companies dish out a lot of free stuff to these girls, who can earn money through advertising and product placement.

Tanya’s comedic talents show it’s a world that’s ripe for ridicule.

Tanya doesn’t mind poking fun at herself either – as can be seen in her video, What happened with Zac Efron?

Zac’s a big movie star. You remember High School Musical. We know we do. 

Zac’s latest movie is Baywatch. One reviewer labelled the movie “a laughless disaster”. But don’t listen to that. Decide for yourself. That’s what we say.

But back to Tanya. She does weekday breakfast radio in Canberra with Hit104.7 and Saturdays on 2Day FM.

She jagged an interview with Zac at the premiere of Baywatch in Sydney.

“Did I lose the interview footage? Maybe,” Tanya said in the video.

“Was it because I was heavily drinking? Who knows.”

Tanya described her interaction with Zac, saying “this is definitely 100 per cent the truth of how this interview went”.

“He came over and was like ‘hey’. And I was like, ‘oh hey Zac’,” she said in the video.

“And he was like, ‘oh, are you [the actress] Megan Fox?’. And I was like, ‘no I’m not’.

“And he was like, ‘you could be a model, you’re really attractive’. And I was like ‘nah, my name’s Tanya and I just do videos and, you know, I’m chubby’.

“He was like ‘oh wow, could have fooled me, you look like a model’.

“Then we sung a whole bunch of songs from High School Musical, he gave me his number, we kissed a little bit.”

Then, she said, they went for a burger at Oporto.

As this picture shows, it is true that Tanya did interview Zac Efron.

He even gave her a high-five.

The story of that high-five is a tad too X-rated for us to print. 

Topics correspondent Brodie “Brodester” Owen wrote last week about the modern fashion statement of man scarves.

He compared this with the common male attire of thongs, short shorts and a polo shirt.

In response, Steve Smallman dropped us a line.

“As a mid-50s heterosexual male, I’ve been wearing Stubbies since the ‘70s,” Steve said.

“I wore the front-tab pocket Stubbies (which he described as useless) and still mourn the passing of Ruggers for the longer leg. I still love my Stubbies tropical long pants as the most comfortable trousers a man can wear."

Steve also hit back at the fashion elite who, he noted, often have fancy haircuts.

“I'm not rude enough to laugh at your ridiculous haircut – leave my clothes alone,” he said.

He added that the fashion police were a symptom of an unfortunate culture that embraced “form over function”.

“I comply with society's norms of modesty. Be thankful me and my beer gut aren't walking down your street in a mankini.”

While we’re on the subject of men, we noticed the story in the Herald on Monday about the plan to cure the common cold.

Good on those scientists from Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) and University of Melbourne for having a crack at the problem.

However, several people [all females, we should add] have pleaded with these scientists to also have a crack at curing the man flu. One woman complained that the only known treatment for the man flu at present is a bell next to the bed of the poor blokes struck down by the illness.
