BobblyGussets - your fine hubby sounds very distinguished! Go on, post a pic. Promise not to sexually objectify him :o

So are the women she is alluding to, who allegedly resent her, French?

This gets weirder. The Daily Mail xenophobia agenda meets the Daily Mail women agenda. Somebody may have actually come on the features desk.

I'm on leave today, so I've had another trawl through. One of her blog entires is about how her husband told her she was over dressed for the school run and how she started wearing jeans and shirts, then the son went to another school and she was under dressed so she started getting dressed up again - she has been in France for teh last two years in a part of the country where she says no one gets dressed up - it doesn't make sense.

LineRunner · 04/04/2012 18:37

Biggle, so it's just a bit all made up? (technical term)

AdornMeWithSparkle · 04/04/2012 18:39

Higgle and LineRunner - looking through her article history, I would concur that she has to be making some of it up. And I guess living in France she doesn't have to face the backlash quite as badly so might be happily laughing away at the Daily Mail paying her for hideous/ridiculous articles inspiring massive backlashes and selling papers while she sits not all that pretty over there?

emsyj · 04/04/2012 18:43

I pointed out that she was making it up and her 'articles' weren't consistent with each other a page ago, but I guess not being a MN cliquey means my posts don't count.

Sad
Stratters · 04/04/2012 18:47

Sometimes I post threads and nobody else posts on them.

It's got nothing to do with being 'cliquey'. I've no idea who half the posters are on here.

emsyj · 04/04/2012 18:50

I know the real reason - I'm just too beautiful....

AdornMeWithSparkle · 04/04/2012 18:50

Emsy, have never heard of Higgle before, LineRunner seems vaguely familiar, I am not on here that much apart from the last few days and certainly don't think anyone "knows" me. I haven't read this whole thread wasted enough time on it yesterday so missed your pointing out her inconsistencies!

TiggyD · 04/04/2012 19:27

I make some women jealous of my looks. It's a curse. We shouldn't mock Poor Miss Brick. She might bite. And bearing in mind she has a lower jaw like a piranha fish...

"Has anyone else read the back catalogue of previous 'articles' by this woman and noticed that they all contradict each other? One minute she dresses to please her male bosses, the next she says it had 'never occurred' to her to dress for anyone but herself. It rather smacks of making it up as you go along..."

Yes, you pointed all the 'making it up' milarky ages ago. Sorry. I guess it was Higgle (whom I called Biggle for dubious reasons to do with a lingering obsession no doubt with not being a boy and Capt W E Johns etc) who caught my attention because of her 'I'm On Leave' excuse post.

You are beautiful, emsyj. No matter what they say. Words can't bring you down. Today. Mmmmm. Mmmmm.

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2012 19:33

On Thursday's show
10:35 News review
10.50 Crime FIle
11:00 Kate O'Mara
11:15 Being Beautiful
11:30 Julie Bushby
11:45 Matt Lucas
12:00 Cookery with Phil Vickery
12:15 Danny Miller

This is from This Morning's website. Is she the 11.15 guest do you think? Why isn't she named I wonder?

LineRunner · 04/04/2012 19:35

Are we all available at 11.15 tomorrow for a zeitgeist 101 debate?

emsyj, are you in?

emsyj · 04/04/2012 19:41

Is there really a listing for 'Being Beautiful' on This Morning tomorrow???? Hell yeah, I'll be watching!

LineRunner · 04/04/2012 19:43

I expect they are still trying to book her on a flight where the captain doesn't keep blocking the aisle next to her with champagne.

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2012 19:43

I am a bit Confused that they haven't put her name in. I wonder whether they are thinking she may not show? If you watch at 10.30 when it starts they give a rundown of who is on.

Doesn't look like a riveting show does it?

LineRunner · 04/04/2012 19:45

The rivets are all in Eamonn's delivery, Sparkling (in my world, at any rate).

Stratters · 04/04/2012 19:50

God help anyone who disturbs me tomorrow morning. Me, my pot of coffee and the biscuit tin shall not be moved.

I was going to post: The Daily Mail hates women. Do not read it.
However, Hadley Freeman does it better in The Guardian:

"The Daily Mail uses its female writers in precisely the same way it uses its female readers and celebrities: frequently, centrally and, always, cruelly. Like an abusive husband, the Daily Mail courts women and needs women, but will always turn around and punch them in the face. Because the Daily Mail hates women."

Tintinsginga · 04/04/2012 20:24

Don't watch, don't watch, don't watch - this woman has had more than enough publicity, she'll be all over Ok mag next.

LineRunner · 04/04/2012 20:46

Keep blaming the Daily Mail.

LineRunner · 04/04/2012 20:47

I fucking hate the Daily Mail.
