Chef, Hairdresser Fall In Love, Brisbane News Gets Scoop
By Jethro Jake
IT was literally love at first sight for Charity Panini and Justin Wright, according to the Brisbane News.
They fell in love three minutes after meeting and moved in together an hour later.
“I’m just so happy with him,” Charity told the Brisbane News a week later. "He’s my soul mate. We have ice creams together and he is such a good listener.”
The meeting occurred when Charity, owner of Superficial Chix Hair Design at the West End, went to Justin’s Paddington restaurant, La Bella Figura. After tasting a recipe Justin cooked, Charity requested to see the cook and the rest is history.
Charity and Justin said they wouldn’t get married because “it costs too much”. “And as for the divorce, well that costs even more,” said Justin. "This way we can make a commitment without really making a commitment.”
The two outline the history of their relationship in 20 excruciating paragraphs that made several inner-city Brisbane News readers throw up their skinnycinos. One reader laughed so hard, he had to get a new nose job. The reader, Jonno Jones, said “it was worth it because I like to look my best and why shouldn’t I?”
Brisbane News spokesperson John Brummer said it was an unusual response to the article.
“I think people, especially yuppies, love to read about how hairdressers and cooks get together,” he said. “I think it really makes their day knowing that, no matter how dull and pointless their lives are, they could be worse.”
