Trashy Style

Ava Wainhouse continues to wear too much lipstick and too much rouge. Her clothes are too tight and her hair is dyed…
Alternative

It could be worse. Would you rather she wear a nose ring?
Tattoos!

Wonder if she has a lower back tattoo? I know her boyfriend weatherman Siggy has tats.

Not sure why Non Stop local did not promote Zander Adams or Noel Anderson instead of Ava Wainhouse. Both are better reporters/anchors than Ava. If I were Zander or Noel I would be upset.

You do a great job gal, but I’m not too keen on that red lipstick, try natural?

Hi Ava,
My husband and I are faithful watchers of KHQ news. We think you do a great job and always comment on your hair and wardrobe. Tonight (Saturday) you looked really great. Nice black dress. A little shorter than usual and your hair looked great too. We know it’s good for your career to move up in the market, but we hope you stick around for a while.

Cronkite had a brand, so did Huntley, Brinkley, Mudd and Rudd.

Today’s news reader in a sausage dress or 3 sizes too small sport coat creating a brand is a far cry from Cronkite, Huntley/Brinkley etc. lol But I do get the point.

The focus on selfies, appearance, and “trying to create a brand” can diminish all the educational awards, and journalistic achievements a person can receive.

Wow, not sure what it is but, something very sexy about her!!
Also, good job can see how you’re getting a little more seasoned at work!

As she becomes better at her job, she may also become disillusioned with the pay and work hours. Many journalists are changing careers, moving away from tv news these days.

Respecting peoples’ space in times of sorrow is not something the news media does. They want to get the grief on video and get a sound bite about the pain and sorrow.

Please let Ava know that she is a horrible excuse for a human while sneaking into Kaylee and Maddie’s service. I hope you feel the pain these families have and someone do the same to you. RIH!!!!!

Did that make you feel better? Give her a chance!

Seasoned reporters have overstepped and done some pretty underhanded things in an effort to get the story. It’s sometimes a scuzzy business.

Please let Ava know that her short hairdo looks stunning on her. She looks terrific!
