She knew exactly what she was doing then and now, this includes knowing perfectly well that she is moderately attractive, not beautiful.

I know one of her ex-bosses who says she’d have sold her granny for a story.

Fair play though, she got a career lift and it was very funny.

ReadyToMoveIt · 09/04/2022 21:30

I actually think she looks better now than she did then.

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/04/2022 21:30

[quote dfendyr]@diverseopinions.

She has given several contextualised imperically- unimpeachable examples of men finding her beautiful, telling her such, and giving her favours. Men offering to park her car for her; buying her things. She obviously is very attractive, then.

The PP is joking, you muppet

Waxonwaxoff0 · 09/04/2022 21:53

I wouldn't be jealous of her, she's not beautiful to me. She's not unattractive but nothing special that I'd stop and think wow what a stunner.

I’ve read the article and I don’t see what the hate is all about. She is talking about being confident, resilient and happy on the inside and how this makes her feel attractive. Can you imagine if we all felt like this?! I think actually it would be wonderful. She talks about women’s tendency to put each other down and she’s not wrong there either. I see an older woman who refuses to be invisible and is enjoying her life making the best of what she has and I would much rather see that than these women whose faces are full of Botox. Ok her looks might have more to do with being child-free than stewing nettles but she’s right. Instead of moaning about her why don’t we try loving ourselves more and lifting each other up more. Think how powerful women could be if we stopped running ourselves and each other down.

TabithaHazel · 09/04/2022 22:15

She definitely not unattractive- she looks like she could be Emma Bunton’s mum, but I don’t know why she has to compare herself to other women and put them down. I do remember when the first article came out and she talked about her hunky French husband and I was expecting him to be a suave and sophisticated chap, but when there was a follow up article with an interview with him, he looked like one of the hairy biker (before they lost weight)!

Rainbowshit · 09/04/2022 22:27

I think she looks better than she did then too. The hair colour suits her much better. It's all a bit cringe though isn't it?

Would love some of her confidence though and she seems happy so 🤷🏻‍♀️

But she is running all women doing by saying we hate her because she’s beautiful. How can you not see that?

Good for her being an attractive woman: sing it from the rooftops. Don’t knock ALL other women in the process.

tearinghairout · 09/04/2022 22:52

I remember reading the first article and looking for the accompanying picture of this stunner who men were thrusting flowers at and women were jealous of and having a "Wtf?" moment when I realised that the ordinary blonde in the photo WAS this fabled stunner... She is so deluded. She looks OK now - she obviously takes care of herself, but she is deluded. She can't have any female friends if she thinks they're all in competition for male attention. I do hope it's all a big wind-up. If so, it's a bit dull now, but if not, I feel sorry for her.

NurseBernard · 09/04/2022 22:59

It is all a big wind-up - she’s a rent-a-gob who knows she can get some £$€ for saying something controversial.

If she actually was beautiful, as opposed to normally attractive, it wouldn’t have generated anywhere near as much backlash.

CorvusPurpureus · 09/04/2022 23:01

She's the same age as me, & carrying it considerably better.

She's obviously worked really quite hard at preserving her good looks - I'm not sure I totally believe all the guff about mostly surviving off the produce from her garden, & I wouldn't take her word for it that she hasn't had the odd bit of botox done, for example.

I'd say that the difference between this & the 2012 article is that previously she was rather presenting herself as helplessly stricken with gorgeousness, whereas now she's rather more honestly presenting herself as someone who likes looking good, works at it, & enjoys the attention it brings.

Fair play to her. I don't think she's stunningly beautiful, or ever was. & I don't envy or hate her because I've never cared much about my own looks, so I just find the whole thing slightly perplexing, but she's definitely doing a cracking job of looking fabulous for 51.

I quite admire her unapologetic take on celebrating her own confidence, tbh.

Also, we have a mutual friend who reckons she's thoroughly nice & sensible, but whangs out the odd very tongue-in-cheek article like this for the £s & just for fun, basically. Fair enough.

She's the one putting down other women by saying they're "jealous" of her which is nonsense.

Crinkle77 · 09/04/2022 23:18

@IncompleteSenten

I don't understand why she feels the need to attack other women. She thinks she's stunning. Good for her. I'm glad she sees herself that way. It's just a shame she feels the need to put other women down in order to make herself feel better.

Yes I agree. The bit where she talks about going the flea market and that guy eyes her up and down and tells her husband that she's such a catch. I was like

and then saying he ignored 2 girls half her age. I wouldn't appreciate some bloke eying me up like that.

underneaththeash · 09/04/2022 23:23

Who?

BOOTS52 · 09/04/2022 23:26

She has resurfaced and still full of herself. As for that sun photo of that man, he is not what I would call attractive or hot but you gotta love their confidence ha!!

DoctorMarten · 10/04/2022 00:28

She's an acquaintance of mine and she's a sweetheart.
She's not said she's the world's most beautiful woman! Why shouldn't she be happy in her own skin? Us women just can't win.

No, we can’t, when there’s women like SB around, telling us all we’re jealous harpies, apropos of nothing.

Not one person has said she shouldn’t be happy in her own skin.

SirYawnsAlot · 10/04/2022 03:08

I like the article and thought there was a lot of truth in it but you can't claim to champion women and ask why they run each other down and when stating 'I haven't run to fat like so many women my age'

GiantHaystacks2021 · 10/04/2022 04:58

Never saw it myself. She's very ordinary looking, for someone who thinks that there's no-one like herself.
She has a Geri Halliwell nose too, which swings off to her right and she has recessed teeth.
That long hair does nothing for her.

SD1978 · 10/04/2022 05:08

I never had an issue her assumption or perception she was beautiful- it was the half sneering need to put down others with the assumption everywoman was jealous and wanted to be her- it had nothing to do with the assumptions of her own look.
