to wonder if this was meant to be an April Fool?

Women hate me for being this beautiful

I mean, WTF? I clicked on the article in interest, fully expecting to see someone genuinely beautiful. However, this woman appears to be ever so slightly deluded. She has wonky eyes, a piggy nose, ugly teeth and an overly large forehead. I am not prone to judging other women for their looks, except, as in this case, when they are judging themselves unfairly.

Do you think the Daily Mail published this article 2 days too late?

She looks Ok to me! Not beautiful or wow but Ok and fairly average. She certainly isnt a complete mong though.

Takes some balls or delusion to get you pic attached to an article like that though!!

Alltheseboys · 03/04/2012 09:25

I know. The pictures weren't loading on my phone. When I did see one I couldn't believe how normal she looked.Hmm

AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/04/2012 09:39

Meh she's nothing amazing

All this talk about fares being paid and flowers and alcohol bought...

I'd give her a £1 bunch of daffs off the market, a half bottle of lambrini and a backie on me pushbike.

You realise that if she read this she would think we are all 'just jealous' don't you? :)

HexagonalQueenOfTheSummer · 03/04/2012 09:41

That is exactly it, bumbley! People like her seem to live in their own little bubble where they think they are gorgeous and that everyone that doesn't think they are gorgeous is jealous

MargueritaaPracatan · 03/04/2012 09:43

She hasn't seen us though, bumbly. I think she may be the envious one if she did! Wink

MargueritaaPracatan · 03/04/2012 09:46

She's gotta be on MN. There are people like her here.

BalloonSlayer · 03/04/2012 09:48

She's nice looking but not beautiful.

I'd have thought it obvious that if strange men send over bottles of champagne to you having only looked at you, they are after something they think they can buy with a bottle of champagne . . . and somehow your looks have led them to believe that's a possibility.

BalloonSlayer · 03/04/2012 09:51

Gosh that article from August 2011 had her wearing all the same clothes as the April 2012 ones.

ScrambledSmegs · 03/04/2012 09:52

Hmm... she looks fine, quite pretty, although definitely dresses far older than her years. I assume she's not in her fifties, anyway?

But the attitude is probably what causes her these 'problems'. At least, if we're really supposed to take her seriously, and this isn't totally made up just for the article.

MargueritaaPracatan · 03/04/2012 09:54

Let's face it; that article was written with MN in mind, we're all just rising to the bait.

SarahDoctorIndyHouse · 03/04/2012 09:57

I'm enjoying this.

With reference to her opening lines in the first article, I was once given a bottle of champagne (and a pack of playing cards!!!) by the cabin crew on a flight back from NY, and I'm mingin'.

Haven't read the thread in close detail (yet: am saving it for later!) but can I be the only one who thinks that although it goes without saying that the DM is an odious rag, I am sure they just print this sort of bilge water for a laugh and run a book on which of them gets the most outraged comments on their forums (and on MN!!!)

SarahDoctorIndyHouse · 03/04/2012 09:58

Marguerita

Exactly! But it's good fun

Hammy02 · 03/04/2012 09:58

I scrolled down the article looking for the beautiful woman. I didn't find one. Then realised! She's not unattractive. Just fairly ordinary looking.

MargueritaaPracatan · 03/04/2012 10:00

Oh I know! Not knocking it at all!

bumbleymummy · 03/04/2012 10:08

Very true Marguerita. Although I am absolutely gorgeous. (well, DH thinks so anyway! ) :)

diddl · 03/04/2012 10:18

Actually, these random men buying drinks-sending drinks over-why would they do that??!!

Sewilma · 03/04/2012 10:27

Her husband's "gimlet eye" gets a lot of mentions. More like Dead-behind-the-eyes...

Sootie · 03/04/2012 12:33

The model in the second article is pretty.

ModernToss · 03/04/2012 13:28

She is all over twitter and other newspapers now.

This is her website: www.samanthabrick.com/

rosycheeksmum · 03/04/2012 13:38

I feel sorry for her as she is clearly deluded, if she is so socially inept that she thinks it's ok to publish an article like this then she is possibly not quite 'all there' and has been exploited - it's very obvious that she is fairly ordinary looking with a pretty ordinary looking husband but believes otherwise - she seems like someone who is totally disconnected from the real world.

"By the age of 30 I had a three-quarter-of-a-million-pound house, a Mercedes convertible (and a Mercedes estate for when I took my dogs out), a walk-in dressing room crammed with clothes that Carrie Bradshaw would be envious of ? oh, and I had a generous six-figure salary and a high-ranking position in my chosen industry. "
Quote from one of the links

She is pretty but not beautiful. Judging by her articles her 'beauty' is definitely only skin deep.
She is deluded if she thinks people dislike her because she is pretty. I dislike her because of her attitude.

Dawndonna · 03/04/2012 13:43

Based on the grammar and sentence structure of her Biography on the website, I wouldn't employ her.
She would say it's because I'm a woman. No, it's because you can't bloody write and why the DM is paying you for publishing this trite mularky is beyond me!

villagegossip · 03/04/2012 14:05

She's so beautiful that she only wants the same 3 photos used in 3 articles over 2 years Wink

And if i'd denied myself wine and chocolate and took myself THAT seriously, i'd want to look a fuck site better than she does!

If my DP told me to wear any of those hideous outfits, his gimlet eye would be the least of his worries Shock

Griblet · 03/04/2012 14:23

hmm, well shes prettier than me, but I still think she looks like a dogs dinner, with jowls to match (guess that makes me the dogs arse, oh well)

BTW love the reason no-one wants you as a bridesmaid is because you are a knobhead who would probably get pissed and tell everyone the groom wants to shag you because he once grimaced smiled in your general direction.
