IN REAL life, she's known as Charne Louise, but in front of the camera, she becomes Miss Lolita Star and steps back into the 1950s.

AT THE beach a couple of things become clear. Firstly, lots of us have had good Christmases, me included. Secondly, a vast number not only wear a bit of Christmas pud but also tattoos.

When I was a young fellow, tatts were something that indicated a certain type of person. Rough trade, bikies, would-be toughs or bad actors on Homicide had them. People from the other side of the tracks.

Obviously I haven't kept up with social trends. Tatts are everywhere in fact they're all over the tracks.
