Nokia nookie


As the Mr Eugenides 'brand' hurtles ever faster towards the tabloid end of the blog market, I am grateful to a correspondent for alerting me to this story, which gives me the opportunity to post more photos of ladies in their skimpies. (Irritated female readers should rest assured I don't plan to do this more than a few times a day.)

This is the Finnish foreign minister, Ilkka Kanerva.

Ilkka Kanerva

Handsome devil, no? No? Just your average guy in a suit, right? And yet:

According to the Finnish tabloid Hymy, Mr Kanerva sent about 200 text messages from his office mobile to the blonde striptease dancer Johanna Tukiainen, one of which demanded to know what she was wearing under her tight dress.

Another message, tapped out between political meetings, suggested a three-in-a-bed arrangement with Johanna, 29, and her sister, Julia, who has worked in the pornography industry.

This is Johanna and Julia Tukiainen:

Ground Force, Finnish-style
Male readers wondering what exactly they are doing with that hose should consider a quick Google image search, which will confirm the closeness of the Tukiainen sisters' relationship. I wouldn't do it from work, though.

Anyway, as ever, Europeans do political scandals so much better than our own. While we seethe at being asked to subsidise our MP's sandwich toasters and standard lamps, Scandinavian politicians are banging entire families of strippers and porn stars. Tracey Temple and Rosie Winterton this ain't.

I've saved my favourite detail, though, for last:

After the text messages appeared in the press, the live-in partners of both women threw them out.

Julia's boyfriend is obviously relaxed about her working in the 'adult' industry; he has presumably learned, at the very least, that the dinner table is not the place to ask her how her day went. And he'll accept the thousand daily indignities that go with dating a porn actress: the knowing smirks on nights out on the town, the thought of raincoated strangers stroking themselves to pictures of his girlfriend, the way her hair always seems to smell of semen. This is clearly a man at ease with his lot in life.

But even he absolutely draws the line at her shagging a politician. Every man has his breaking point.

What time is the next flight to Helsinki?
 
You can tell the Tukiainens have a close relationship: otherwise they wouldn't be happy to be seen wearing identical pairs of shoes.

Clearly a matter of vital public interest. I for one would be very interested to know what she was wearing under her tight dress. It's a better use of public money than pissing it up the wall on tellies from John Lewis, that's for sure.

But even he absolutely draws the line at her shagging a politician. Every man has his breaking point.

A chap has to have standards.
 
he should run for Governor of New York State
