Maybe we should start a list of women that we genuinely like?

110 replies

For their brains, talent and looks? Just to counteract of increasing list of women that put our backs up? For me I would say Jo Whiley she's bright, attractive and looks great for a mum of four at 45. I love her! (Now I know someone is probably going to put her in our other list!)

I don't always agree with what they say (sometimes I wholeheartedly disagree) but like reading the opinions of Julie Burchill and Janet Street-Porter

Vanessa Feltz - loads of people loathe her but I think she is great, tbh.

Julia Roberts. I just think she is so beautiful.

Camilla Parker Bowles. I think she looks lovely. Plus adore her for saying 'it's wicked' re William and Kate getting engaged.

Shirley Hancock. A strong, clever, funny woman.

Sigourney Weaver. Another intelligent and striking woman.

Thanks
