I could not even finish reading the article, what a prat.

But the question is do you like your friends to be not as pretty as you?

I can't say I have ever given it any thought.

I used to know someone very much like this. She really was the most insufferable, self-absorbed person I have ever met, she was incredibly vain and manipulative (especially with men) and yet she had a pathetic victim mentality as well. I really think she was bordering on having some mind of narcissistic personality disorder.

kind of

Liz Jones in today's Mail states she is turning into Kate Middleton - I really think the Mail need to get a grip of these female ' journalists' - journalist term used very loosely.

Another poor deluded cow . The DM is creating it's very own version of Bedlam - let's all laugh at the mad people. Who would voluntarily put themselves in the firing line for that? Even for £1k?

OK this is an elaborate wind-up. There's now another article on the website featuring a 'stunning photoshoot' of Brick and her husband.
In all the pictures she's seen wearing too-tight jeans and vests, all the while proudly displaying a muffin top big enough to rival her husband's.

Also considering her husband (as per previsous articles) had thrown away all her teenage floaty vest-y 'inappropriate' outfits it appears they've made a stunning comeback.

It's getting cruel.
I'm beginning to feel sorry for the stupid cow.
Not too sorry, mind you...

I agree coffee, whilst this may have started out as the DM being its usual uncaring, misogynistic, tabloid chip wrapper, it has spiralled out of control into pure vitriol. However much money this woman make from this story, and I hope it is a fair bit, it will not make up for the sad truth that she will be spending the rest of her life as 'that woman that thinks she's sooooo beautiful'.

Can any of us imagine what it must be like to be faced with that burden, the catcalls in the street, the snide remarks, the sniggers. She has gone from someone who is moderately attractive and therefore had an easier life than many, to an object of ridicule. It's easy to say she brought it on herself, but the DM will be loving the fact it's gone viral and will be encouraging the story to keep going.

I feel very sorry for her.

I had to laugh at the part about the woman who had blanked her as she walked the dog... no chance that the woman's mind could have been on something else as she drove to work that morning, eh?

I know a girl who is a bit like this... fairly pretty but not stunningly so, who has the most incredible amount of self absorbtion confidence. She demands attention from men by fixing them with a big smile and speaking to them as if they were very, very important to her. She is less enthusiastic with womenfolk... and they with her. It's not rocket science is it?

I don't.

She was writing ridiculous cliche-ridden demeaning articles about other women, the French, fat children etc way before this tosh.
Of course she knew what she was getting herself into.

Liz Jones must be dying with jealousy.

Well, now I've listened to her - she has been used by the DM.
But frankly, I do feel less sorry for her now.
She comes across as incredibly deluded and silly.

Are you sure this woman isn't just a plant, acting the part?

I remember the outrage of another lady in the dm who claimed she was poor because her kids couldn't go private any more and how rhe recession had tirn their lifes apart.Transpired she had a live in house keeper and £2000 rent and so on.

However after reading all her articles I realised she claimed to have grown up in a different country in each article

I think she was just an "actress" or a plant generated to get dm more hits and of course, money.

Are we sure this isn't this isn't the same?

This whole thing is making me think though - I'm actually grateful I was never a stunning beauty.
Makes getting older a lot easier.
I'm afraid she's genuine - just an arrogant sorry cow.

Yep, definitely thinking this is some kind of wind-up or April Fools joke now.

Well I watched some of her comments and and feel even less sorry for her still. She's playing the victim and blaming her 'troubles' on British negativity and women's bitchiness.
And in person she's decidedly average btw. Baring in mind she was professionally made up she looked rather blah. Not an attractive profile at all.

Haven't read the whole thread, but lol at the assumption that if someone blanks you as you drive past it is becasue they are jealous of your beauty! Most of my friends would beleive that on that basis as I never notice cars and couldn't tell you what any of my friends drive.
I would be only too delighted to travel with friends who get offered free bottles of champagne.

I don't understand why she thinks this is a British thing.

In her follow up article the quotes criticising her at the end are from people all over the world- new Zealand, America etc

The British thing?
She's just found somentig to say that sounds vaguely plausible to her and keeps repeating it.
"British thing", "I live in France", "women are arrogant".
Use as required.

Well she needs to read the comments under her own article, to see, no Samantha the whole world thinks the same.

No doubt the whole world is wrong.

I've just watched a bit of her on This Morning in case she was one of those women who don't photograph well but is stunning in moving pictures/real life. I am very happy to report that I am more beautiful than she is, and I will now be expecting a bottle of champagne everytime I fly. Do you think that all of the beautiful ladies should phone up and warn the airlines beforehand so that there is always enough champagne for everyone?

I just had a look at her on catch up tv and she is very attractive but why she had to start all this I don't know. She does do other women a disservice though and am not sure why.

I do wonder if she has a point though when she asked if a man would suffer the same ridicule?

I'm trying to imagine a man writing that article seriously... How would we react?

The point is no man would ever write an article like that.

She criticises women for being envious and bitchy but she's the one who's lowering the debate- she's used her looks to further her career and now finds that she has no friends and her husband married her because she was tall and blonde.

Now that she's getting older she must be freaking out. Hence the article.

I think if an average looking man wrote a similar article I would be equally amused.

I dont know much about the daily mail - in fact I read the article via a different website but from what you say it is possible the whole thing is just a wind up. The photo of her with her husband in camoflague was HILARIOUS, surely that cannot be real - it reminded me of a humour book I was looking at yesterday called "awkward family photos" what a candidate.

Look there is a whole website of them here

I dont quite understand the vitriol she has generated but my assessment is she is misguided about how attractive she is and not particularly bright to have written this and not realised the reaction it would get (or perhaps she did and any attention is better than none)

I find if you look at a man and treat him like he is very interesting then generally you get a good reaction, not always but more often than not, I dont do it because I cant be bothered to am just not that manipulative.

To be honest, if genuinely was getting all this male attention, I think it's pretty clear it wasnt due to her jaw dropping looks.

Sometimes people just radiate this attention seeking vibe, giving the I impression they are very much up for some attention and make it quite easy to get approached...
