Slightly OT, but I read an article by Samantha Brick in the Daily Mail earlier this week (I know, I know...) where she was talking about her "honesty policy".
Basically, if someone says "Samantha, does this dress make my bum look big?", she will be brutally honest and say "No, you being obese makes your bum look big".
Real example from the article - Samantha Brick's response to a gym instructor who wanted to know why Samantha had stoppped going to her classes:
"I told her the classes were boring, no longer a challenge and for someone who does this for a living she was in surprisingly bad shape herself. In fact, I said, my 87-year-old gran was more supple than she was.
My bluntness was rewarded with a death stare that could have melted the polar ice cap.
I?m sure she thought I was unspeakably rude. I disagree. I was honestly answering a question she had posed. If she isn?t any good at what she?s doing, am I not right to let her know?"
I think her honesty policy may be more of a problem than her beauty, in regard to other people hating her....
