Ita from The block
Ita Buttrose is of course a magazine legend.
So much so that the ABC will soon be airing a drama about the early years of her career working for Kerry Packer.
You’d think it would be almost impossible for her to do anything that could harm her credibility and dignity.
You might think wrong.

WTF??? There is so much wrong with that. However strangely enough, I watched the whole thing….

Umm…ok… ‘Hey there Ita, I’m….” Nah..not sure it deserve the effort of a rap back..but I’m sure someone more dedicated than I will offer one. It’s all a tad…errr..”soft” but..kind of ok…except for “ita from the block”. Which block? I live fairly close the ‘the block’ at Redfern and I don’t recall seeing ita ever hanging here. Is there a ‘block’ in Vaucluse? 🙂 Did smile at the knife and fork next to plate. That was inching towards nanna speak (and I’m in same age bracket) 🙂

We work with Ita in various other areas so have a little bit of biased insight but was thrilled to see her take this approach for her new book. The greatest thing about this clip is that they are usually produced internally by publishers to motivate sales teams, book sellers and to intro a new title. Not many make it into the media. A niche title/product getting mainstream media coverage and widespread consumer interest? Yes please.
Put your manners back in people.

Go Ita! She gave me my first job in Australia so I’m backing her. She’s always been a hoot.

HOLY CRAP, ITA BUTTROSE IS STILL ALIVE? – and what’s MORE shocking is she thinks she’s at “the forefront of Australian culture” I haven’t even heard her name in more than a DECADE!
