Lisa Armstrong

[randomer]

Mea Culpa, I clicked on the Daily Fail. The poor lady is in her Pj's with her hair scraped back and no make up on.

Can't we get past this nonsense?

I think from the side she actually looks a bit like Ant

Yes she looks a mess but she’s human and we’re all going through it at the minute.

I've never heard of her, but if you're going to be offended by the Daily Mail, maybe don't read it?

Her name and marriage got her the work.

I don't think that is true at all. She sensibly retrained when her band broke up. She worked as a make up artist before they were married. She supported him through his addictions and then he left her. She is entitled to a fair settlement.

Can't we get past this nonsense?

It wasn't even on my radar until you made a thread about it, OP!

YANBU. It's because James Grant Management who look after Ant & Dec and Phillip Schofield, Holly W among others, allegedly have a deal with the Fail and the Sun to portray Lisa Armstrong in a negative light and keep negative stories about their clients hushed up and out of the press. In return they provide 'exclusives'.

It's sickening.

I thought you meant the Daily Telegraph's fashion editor. I've never heard of the woman in the link.

As you were.

Do you stick to Dostoevsky, Meta Philosophy, the works of Henrich Biber or perhaps you prefer to consider how the main character in Timon of Athens resonates with the cultural wasteland of today's society?

Um ... that's the only alternative to bitching about some woman in the Daily Mail online? I must be getting it wrong ...

Tell me oh virtuous ones, have you never had a chat in RL along these lines?

No. Not even close. A quick google indicates she's a makeup artist. I have literally never had a conversation with anyone about any Z list celebrity, let alone because they wear pyjamas.

That does not make me in any way better than OP; I'm just bemused at the number of people who post threads referring to some nobody who had just done something trivial and expect everyone as if it's an event most people would immediately know about from a one line comment.

Can't we get past this nonsense?

I'm also bemused by the faux criticism of something OP is clearly in favour of.

I'll say it - she looks a mess.

I'm more bemused- so what? She was in pyjamas, presumably getting the paper or something, why would it matter that her hair wasn't done up.

I thought she looked relaxed and happy. Plus I liked her pjs.

She looks fine to me.

She’s doing lockdown how I would if I got the chance. She looks like a normal lass and a million times better than the identikit melted altar candles that pass for slebs these days.

When I look at the top photo I see a dog that adores its owner and a lass that loves her dog.

I don’t look at her and think ‘why haven’t you a face on?’

I look at the candles and think ‘what the fuck have you done to your once beautiful face?‘ though.

Bit of an arseholey thread if you ask me. I’m not virtuous. I’m a grade A cow. Hence my comments about people who have fillers for breakfast lunch and tea.

But I’m not going to trash for choosing to live with the face they have and not gussy up for the press who were all to delighted to publish pics of her husband fannying around with another.

Fuck knows what you’d think of my face. But I’ll tell you now it would scare small children and the papers would probably pixelate it.

And yes. She deserved every bit of that settlement and I hope the lass finds happiness.

Good on her. I've clapped outside for the NHS in owl print pj's, hair that's brown, blonde and grey currently. I'm not skinny and at her 42 I'm her age group. Thank god there was no one taking my photo last week.

Seriously that whole article is mean.

That paper is a despicable rag and not fit for guinea pigs to shit on.

Lovely Lisa. I ventured to the bins looking worse earlier.

I think she looks like the sort of person I’d want to be friends with. I love her pyjamas and think she looks lovely and relaxed

You wouldn't want to see me when I accidentally turn the camera on my face when I'm just out of bed. I've a face that would haunt a house.

Imagine waking up to your photo of you in your pjs splashed across a newspaper though of a Wednesday morning. Great way to start the day. I really don't agree with the press papping people unbeknownst to them. I look like Ozzie Osborne most days. Thankfully, I'm not famous or likely to be papped. One of the silver linings of being poor and unrenowned for anything.

I feel sorry for her. And I wish someone would give her really strong advice to stop posting on social media as the wronged wife - which she does a lot. Its a bit sad to keep washing her dirty laundry in public and not afford herself more dignity and privacy. He has definitely moved on and so should she.

None of us would like to be photographed in our PJs with no make up on.

Put it this way - she has more money than the 'fortune' Meghan Markle supposedly has (4m?). So she can look how the hell she feels like!

I like her pyjamas.

Do you honestly think for one single minute that she didn’t know full well that those pictures were going to be taken? Do you think paps just stand outside her house all day waiting for her to appear barefoot in her pyjamas?

She knows the game, and all power to her, but don’t feel sorry for her and don’t think she’s not a willing participant on all this. She’s building a public profile. See the lack of byline in the pictures? That’s usually because they’ve been taken by one of the agencies that sets up shots like this with the person in them, but that person doesn’t want others to know.

I like Lisa. I think she’s a down to earth kind of woman who’s been treated shittily by a rich man and I hope she does really well for herself.

Didn’t she used to be in a girl band?
Before she met “ him off antordec “ ?
I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the group, nor their song, sorry 😐

Tell me oh virtuous ones, have you never had a chat in RL along these lines?

You find it unbelievable that some people don’t spend their time idly slagging off women pictured in PJs and no make up?

I don’t avoid it because I’m virtuous, I avoid it because it’s uninteresting. You realise there is a whole lot of other topics beyond the two extremes you gave?

It's refreshing that just because she's a multi- millionaire she doesn't have to dress up for the shitty tabloids. She looks very ordinary. I hope people aren't slagging her off for this.
