LuckyBitch August 2, 2014 Share August 2, 2014 (edited) I was going to reply that a barrister is just what we would call a lawyer or attorney in the US. But, then I Googled and see that they seem to have various types of lawyers in Australia and it's very different from the US: http://www.foolkit.com.au/sa/public/barristers Edited August 2, 2014 by LuckyBitch Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12181-gina-lianothe-barrister/#findComment-255229

LuckyBitch August 2, 2014 Share August 2, 2014 Gina Liano: Gina LianoGina is a Barrister and a single mom of two boys and her Poodle, Ninja. She is the glue that keeps her family together even though she has personally gone through the struggles of a divorce and beat cancer. Often found in the courtroom representing the underdog, Gina has been in the legal field for 14 years and has represented some of Australia’s highest profile clients. Passionate about fashion, Gina loves to shop, and it’s ‘Versace’ living all the way. As far as she is concerned with her home interiors, she can have nothing less than glamorous. Gina takes great pride in her appearance - she gets a spray tan every week and her hair and nails are always professionally maintained. With a unique and bold style, Gina cannot be judged by her appearance alone as it would only be a glimpse of the complete picture.

Neurochick August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 Shouldn't it be Gino? And with all that shit on her face, she should NEVER think she can outwit anybody. The first thing I'd tell her is, "I can't take you seriously woman; you look like the MAC makeup counter exploded all over your face." And if she didn't believe Jackie's psychic ability, why did she run to Florida to see her "partner?"

jnymph August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 Yeah, actually I didn't understand the whole exchange (literally & figuratively) First she asks for reading. So Jackie gives the reading. Then Gina says she doesn't believe in such things. Then she runs off to Florida (now THAT is a loooong distance relationship) then meets with Jackie to tell her she's reading demons. HUH?

islandgal140 August 10, 2014 Share August 10, 2014 Just watched an episode for the 1st time today. Gina looks like the 1980s had a head on fatal collision with the MAC counter and the worst makeup guru to ever post a video on youtube because the application is just beyond the worst. The jaws of life were employed but yet still there were no survivors. She was wearing an electric blue leather jacket and matching skirt and her eye liner actually matched her blue outfit. To use the much overused HW rhetorical question: Who does that? Gina that is who. That being said, I can't look away from her. I like her the best out of all the Melbourne HWs. She is just fascinating to me. She could be the younger sister of Jackie or Joan Collins. She must have been feeling some kind of way about Jackie's predictions because otherwise she wouldn't have hopped on a plane and flew 30 hours to meet up and then break up with her man. Still on her side on this 'battle' though. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12181-gina-lianothe-barrister/#findComment-278294

Jac August 10, 2014 Share August 10, 2014 (edited) Here is Gina's profile from the Victorian Bar Association, which gives a bit more insight into the type of law she practices. http://www.vicbar.com.au/profile?3303 Also, as a law student in the same Jurisdiction I cannot believe that she gets away with wearing that much makeup for court appearances. The Victorian legal system is spectacularly conservative, especially when it comes to the appearance of women. People have been reprimanded and even been asked to remove themselves from the court room for far less.

And just for the record, the word "tranny" is most definitely not allowed here. It's disparaging to the trans community, and something we consider hate-speech.
