Dawn French Look (and sound) a Like on vh1


(This is a picture of Dawn French - looking great).
.
So there is this horrible, wonderful, terrible show on VH1 called "Tool Academy".
.
It is a show in which girls told their boyfriends that were competing for "Mr. Awesome", but actually they are in a self-help group (TV Style) because they are giant tools.
.
FYI "tool" is current slang speak for "asshole".
.
It is a very funny show, and the guys really are giant tools.
.
But by far the funniest thing on the show is the "Therapist" who is Trina Dolenz (pictured below). She also happens to be Mickey Dolenz (yes, of "The Monkeys") wife.
.
But the best thing about here is the totally faux "concern" for these couples - now of which will last longer than it takes for the show to air in repeats. Trinia looks like and sounds like Dawn French (of "French and Saunders") being her "concerned Doctor Lady" character.
.
If you know Dawn French, you must go to Trinia's Web site and select Media and watch the first clip of Tool Academy Highlights. If you are Lisa or Laura or Jane, you will totally get what I mean.

This is Trinia's site picture. Apparently taken when she was about 30 pounds lighter than she is now, which isn't a good sign for a therapist in my book.

Trinia's husband, Mickey. "Heh, heh it's a Monkey!"
