A message on a mobile billboard being driven around one of Australia’s wealthiest areas has been met with a mix of outrage, humour and bemusement.
The billboard spotted in Mosman on Sydney’s exclusive lower north shore, features a young blonde woman in her underwear with a short message.
‘Are you rich, old and lonely? I’m looking for a sugar daddy,’ it says, followed by a phone number and the name Shianne Foxx.
‘Did anyone see this going up and down Military Rd? Totally unacceptable that this is allowed,’ a furious woman posted on the Mosman Living Facebook page.
‘My seven year old read it out loud and then asked me what it meant. What has this world come to!! Can anyone advise if there’s a way to report this to the council?’
But other commenters dismissed the concerns and laughed it off.
‘Well done for giving her a wider audience reach that she’d have otherwise,’ wrote one.
‘Meals on wheels?’ another said, referring to the fact that Mosman has one of the country’s oldest age profiles.

Others referred to how well off Mosman is, being the 11th wealthiest suburb in the country, with an average taxable income of $266,050 per year.
‘I suppose they chose their target area with some thought,’ one joker wrote.
Another person having a laugh posted: ‘I can’t quite make out the number… can anyone help.’
The woman behind the billboard also calls herself the Bikini Tradie, and recently called out the double standards between men who can work shirtless on building sites on hot days and women like her who can’t.
She works as a landscaper in Sydney and slammed her boss for saying it would be a ‘distraction’ for her to work topless on very hot days.
Ms Foxx said this was an unfair ‘double standard’ that needed to be addressed in the industry.
She expressed her views in a short TikTok video on the way home from work.
‘It’s a f***ing 40 degree day today and I’m the one who has to wear my shirt. All the boys on the site don’t have to wear theirs,’ Ms Foxx said.

‘It’s a double standard, it’s sexist and I’m actually really over it.
‘I just want to be topless like the boys but no, I will “distract them”.’
Most of the comments on the video supported her, with many telling her to take it up with the boss.
‘It ain’t the lads you work with that would be complaining, direct the hate towards those running the show,’ one person wrote.
‘Sure there’d be comments and looks for a week or so but then it really wouldn’t matter.’
But some others feared workplace injuries would go ‘through the roof’ if too many of her co-workers got distracted in that first week should the rules change.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ms Foxx for comment.
