Online videos targeting Limerick politician 'a bingo card of misogyny' (Irish Examiner)

Elisa O'Donovan says as 'one of few' speaking out on racism, transphobia, and homophobia, she is a target for extremists.

These people are contacting Ms O'Donovan “upset and distressed” about the online material, she said. “We have to make it safe for women to have a voice online and in local government. I’m working a full-time job as well as being a public representative," she said. If you just remain silent, it’s still up there for everyone to see,” she said. “The video that went up on Christmas Day was over an hour long and had a lot of speculation on my personal, political, and professional life," she said. Limerick Social Democrats councillor Elisa O’Donovan said she was notified by a number of people about the latest video which had been posted online on Christmas Day.

How to lose weight naturally: Australian Idol star Casey Donovan ... (7NEWS.com.au)

The beloved Aussie songstress has transformed her look this year. So how did she do it?

“But nowadays, I’m just ... “As a kid I tried to mousse it down and make it as flat as I could, but I think as you get older and a little bit wiser, it’s just like, you know what? “And sometimes it’s just the little things - parking a bit further away, taking the stairs instead of the lift - doing the ‘accidental’ things can help make it great.” “I was talking to my partner the other night and I said, ‘I can finally get my Pilates socks out of the box and get back onto the Reformer!’,” she said. “I like to focus on one thing at a time, because my life is so manic and I’m doing lots of things all of the time,” she said. “It’s free, you can do it anywhere and you can do it at any time of the day or night - so long as you’re safe.” “So, apart from the food from Jenny Craig and doing the portion control, I have a Jenny Craig ‘coach’ that kinda helps you through these things. I’m happily in love, I’m happily working, I’m doing all of these things, and Jenny Craig is just the icing on the cake, helping me get to where I need to be for the next part of my journey.” “So I like to focus on walking - walking is always good and will always be your best friend. “Jenny Craig is a life-changing, lifestyle thing - you’re not just trying to fit into a dress for a day, you’re trying to fit into that dress forever,” Donovan said. “I like to think at all sizes of my life I’ve always been confident in who I am; I’ve never let weight dictate what I can and cannot do. “For all of my life, I’ve just been trying to be healthy and not rely too much on what my weight is, but how healthy I can be,” Donovan said.
