yes but hold on, didn't she market pink horse accessories? Grin

GypsyMoth · 22/03/2011 08:24

She does more than reality tv tho. And it provides her a decent living, don't know why that's supposed to be such a surprise

JessicaDrew · 22/03/2011 08:24

and she's not short of assets!Grin

Niceguy2 · 22/03/2011 08:25

I actually think she's quite a shrewd businesswoman. She has put her "name" to loads of stuff, not just reality TV. She's had perfumes, books, horsey stuff. Probably much more I haven't even heard of.

She's made an artform from being famous for no good reason at all.

I still think she's a fruitloop but I do respect her tenacity.

I know ,I know I just find it depressing just how mainstream she has become.

She has done incredibly well for herself it cant be denied......Still a twat though

CaveMum · 22/03/2011 08:28

The woman has more front than Brighton! (and I mean that in every possible sense Wink)

Pancakeflipper · 22/03/2011 08:28

She plays the media game amazinging well. Which is bloody annoying as I find her utterly tedious and irritating. But someone must be watching these reality shows she is in or they wouldn't be commissioned. So whoever it is - stop it. Thank you. And also stop watching Kerry Katona drivel too.

Portofino · 22/03/2011 08:30

I have no time for her but have to admit that she has worked extremely hard at marketing herself and her numerous products, and without getting her baps out too.

GypsyMoth · 22/03/2011 08:30

She's a lone parent now... 3 dc, one who is disabled

She seems more capable than most MNrs really.....

porcupine11 · 22/03/2011 08:31

She's made close to a billion £, surely she is the ultimate businesswoman!

As much as she is an utter chav, famous for having fake tats, she must have plenty of people interested in her or she wouldn't have made all of her money. I think she's worth about 30mill.

squeakytoy · 22/03/2011 08:34

Of course she is a businesswoman. Every move she makes is calculated. That is why she is worth about £50m.

She is also an attention seeking loon who loves all the drama though.

If she's a businesswoman, I'd love to be the accountant processing her expenses! Wink

mamatomany · 22/03/2011 08:40

She hasn't got her tits out for 10 years and yet people know who she is, she must be doing something right.

colditz · 22/03/2011 08:47

of course she's a business woman. She is a marketing expert, such an expert that she can afford to pay other experts to find her something else to do when she doesn't want to do her original 'thing' any more.

Don't be angry at what she does - be angry at a society that has so much salacious interest in what she does that she has made millions and millions of pounds from pretending to be a bit thick.

I do not think for one minute she is as daft as she looks.

scottishmummy · 22/03/2011 08:49

if her business is selling salacious stories and tawdry lifestyle then yes shes an astute business woman

nightowlmostly · 22/03/2011 09:03

I noticed that they introduced her that way as well, wonder if she insisted on it? Sounds like something a publicist would organise to me!

TurkeyBurgerThing · 22/03/2011 09:33

To be fair that is pretty much what she is. Perhaps not in the conventional manner that would spring to mind with that particular phrase, but she does market loads of utter tat products she's created herself. Kids books, perfume, equestrian clothing etc.

She is a dick though. And her equestrian range is completely dire. Overpriced and poor quality! But it sells so I don't think she gives two hoot(er)s.

slowshow · 22/03/2011 09:35

She's SO not a businesswoman. I'm sure she has a large team of people telling her what range of tacky crap she should brand with her name next Confused

Doubt very much she's created any of it herself.

I find it profoundly depressing that young girls think of her as a role model.

FanellaFox · 22/03/2011 09:37

Agree with slowshow - she's more of a 'brand'.
