The Land Before Judgment: T-Rex

Hello everyone, my name is Judgey Fox and I am a judgmentaholic.

I judge people on their looks, their mannerisms, their way of talking, their way of eating, their way of not-eating, their way of over-eating, their way of talking while eating etc etc. Judgment is naturally unfounded and just one's delightful opinion about another person/animal/dragon's demeanor. So, when a golden opportunity to judge lays it self out in front of me like a hooker aching for a fix, who am I to metaphorically, flush it's stash?
Today's subject, Tituba (not literally Tituba the slave that was first accused of being a witch during the Salem witch trials, that Tituba got her judgment strong and true)

I can't decide if this is racist or not?
Tituba is the name Foxy has given to one of my University tutors, her name sounds strangely similar to Tituba even though she is neither black nor a slave, the jury is still out on whether she's a witch though. In his spare time Foxy also likes to call her T-Rex due to her tiny arms and sly-eyes. Her eyes are a real problem for me, not only are they small and slitty, Voldermort-style, but she insists on outlining them in the biggest, blackest, smudgiest eyeliner she can find on sale in Priceline (I'm taking some artistic license here in assuming she'd only buy things an sale, being a frugal economics tutor).  Now for those of you who don't know what boldly outlining something small does, it makes it look even smaller. Congratulations Tit on making your beady little eyes look even beadier. 

Squirrels, always going too heavy on the eyeliner.
Now, one would think that being a tutor one would realise that all eyes will be on you as you answer questions and draw diagrams up on the whiteboard. One would also assume that as a tutor you would not wear clothing that when viewed from behind or from a low angle would facilitate cringe-worthy feelings of nausea from your students. 

NB: It may have been only me having these feelings. 

For example; thin, tighty-whitey short shorts should not be worn with a thin black tighty-whitey (blacky didn't really fit and JF didn't want to make two racial slurs in one post) g-string when reaching up to the top corner of the board to label axes. Nor should they be worn in the presence of anybody, when one has accidentally on purpose purchased a size too small (face it Tituba you're a easy 12 down below).

To be honest, I do have a morbid fascination as to what outfit Tit will choose to wear to our weekly classes. My favourite so far is the Gaudy Grecian Goddess: a mustard coloured maxi dress, gold strappy sandals, ones that once the subject is sitting can be seen snaking up the leg ballet dancer style, matching gold headband, drop earrings, bangles, necklace and rings. First of all, mustard should only be seen in one place and that's on my sandwiches, second of all gold snaking straps barely look good on ballet dancers and let's face it Tit, your dream of dancing Tchaikovsky went out the window when you discovered Cheezels and double choc Tim Tams. Finally matchy matchy accessories really only work when they don't look like they've fallen out of a cracker you pulled with your creepy Uncle Ben at family Christmas.  

I've considered calling Trinny and Susannah about Tit's imaginative style and many times tried to take a cheeky photo of her mega muffin-tops on my phone, but in the end I just couldn't be arsed and to put it candidly (my favourite way of putting things) Tituba is a total bitch.

  1. I'm curious, Foxy, as to which tutor this is and for which subject. Also, her clothing doesn't make her a bitch, why don't you like her? I feel as if you're not telling us something.

    Regards,

  2. I once went to interview Trinny and Susannah, but half-way through their show at Whitford fucking City shopping centre I realised I had my top on inside out. SO I left, claiming the PR people wouldn't let me near them. This is a true story. Then another journo went to interview them and she got slightly sexually harassed, told she was a "vase" shape, recommended spanx underwear and told her work outfit was shit.
    Can JF provide pics of Tituba? Enquiring minds want to know...

  3. I feel like this could be directed at me as I
    (1) love and often do matchy matchy (lesbian brown coloured shoes/bag/coat);
    (2) have never considered the appearance of my lower thigh cellulite when reaching up to the top corners of the board in my courtroom;
    (3) did in fact play Tituba in an English class remake of the infamous confession scene with Reverend Hale.

    Something you wanna tell me Captain?

  4. Pika - She is a bitch and her clothes merely compliment this, they don't fund my reasoning.

    L - I feel like that would be T + S's answer to everything, as the song goes:

    Move 'em on, head 'em up,
    Head 'em up, move 'em out,
    Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!

    I feel like that song epitomizes what Spanks do to your hindquarters

    Vulpes - why so many parts to your question.
    (a) lesbian bag/shoes did not come out of a cracker
    (b) when did i mention lower leg wobbly bits?
    (c) it was a fantastic rendition, your voodoo twanged voice haunts me to this very day

    Over and Out
