Asha Tanna

August 12, 2007

So every once in a while you’re watching TV and an unfamiliar face leaps out at me. All my ‘new man’ pretences fall away, my mouth drops to the floor and I’m transfixed. It’s a gorgeous person reading the news. My first instinct is to ogle. Once she leaves my screen (note how I’m personalising it – She’s being broadcast to a million screens, but she’s on mine…) my second instinct kicks in – Time to Google her…

Of course the internet has spawned many a news readers ogle fest fan club. The most famous of which is the intellectual and gorgeous French newsreader Melissa Theriault

So today I found myself watching the Sharks and Nazis fest that is Channel 5 in the UK. The news bulletin was presented by a lady called Asha Tanna. And let me tell you, there are none so gorgeous. It’s her smouldering eyes that do it. Better still, she’s so new to TV that there’s no internet campaign, array of YouTube vids, topless on the beach paparazzi shots or porn listing domain squatters. Yet. She’s more than welcome to enjoy a cup of tea round at my bachelor pad, any time of the day or night.
