Chicken boarders

[patsylabrador]

There is a woman in the news today who is apparently so gorgeous that men lose their minds around her and women are so jealous that she can no longer work. She has been forced into living an incredibly expensive lifestyle at her parents' expense. The world can be so cruel!

DD says she too is too pretty to work. Unfortunately for her we are neither rich nor stupid.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Sorry, but I was too nosy not to seek this story out .

 

The photos and the description of her lifestyle say it all really . Is it just me or does she look like she's had the wrong parents photoshopped either side of her?

[bluekarin]

I don't now she can survive *sigh* Really, some people. And her parents are really not helping matters.

[Olly]

Publicity stunt. She works as a part-time model ... she's just hoping to boost her career.

[merlina]

Feels like we got a time capsule back to the 1970s.

I'm can't believe she's bright enough to have a PhD and too stupid to be able to deal with some unwanted advances

It's also interesting that the women who say this stuff seem to be averagely attractive at best

 

As Olly says, this has to be a publicity stunt.

 

But as a certain Mr Ratner found out - there *is* such a thing as bad publicity

[Cinnamon]

I looked at the article & was really surprised that it wasn't Samantha Brick who had written it

[Willow]

Don't worry love at 33 you only have 10-15 years tops before men stop noticing you problem solved

 

Why is it always the women who are trying too hard to look glam that think they have this problem, she is attractive but not beautiful

[Egluntyne]

Just goes to show - beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

[Alis girls]

Meee- how - badly applied tan - can see the line on the thigh. yup dont worry sweetie when you reach 51 the only men who "come on to you" are 80+ and you are lucky if they have their own hair and teeth. Mwah mwah - at least we all have a sense of humour.

[Couperwife]

I wish my parents were that daft...I could have got away with all sorts

[sadietoo]

i don't think it's her looks which are keeping her out of work...it's her low self esteem......

Quite, she's not all that.

[majorbloodnock]

Most of us, I think, feel a degree of sympathy for someone when we find life hasn't dealt them a perfect hand. However, as I get older, I find that somewhere in everyone's past is an obstacle that I wouldn't personally like to have had to deal with. In other words, we all have our own pet millstone around our necks, and it's just a matter of what we choose to do about it.

 

This young lady may well be right. Physical beauty certainly colours how others perceive someone, and not always positively. However, she has chosen to use it as an excuse rather than adopt a more positive attitude. That's a shame. Nonetheless, if she has the choice to not work and live of inheritance instead, I won't begrudge her making use of that position, although I'd prefer not to have it rammed down my throat. In the end, though, I suspect that if she doesn't start using the time to better herself then she'll end up in later life feeling much less fulfilled and not in a good position to do much about it.

 

As stated by Tom Lehrer, "Life is like a sewer; what you get out of it depends on what you put in."

Her being the beholder

[The Dogmother]

I have absolutely no sympathy for self-pitying badge-wearers. She needs to get real and thanks her lucky stars for what she does have, then people might like her more.

[Plum]

Not anything to do with her body language, make up and length of skirt then

[Space Chick]

I reckon if she had gone to work with no make up, her hair tied in ponytail and sensible trousers and tops with a lab coat on top she would have been fine and dandy!!

 

But we all know this isn't the point, she's obviously a model wannabe who can coast through life on her parents cash cow..... Nice work if you can get it, and beats the rigours of 9-5

[Goosey Lucy]

I have decided I work too hard to be pretty

[Lavenders_Blue]

This thread has been a real inspiration to me. I've decided I can't take the bullying and persecution any longer. It's demeaning. I'm downing tools and going on strike today. I've erected a large banner outside my office stating 'ON STRIKE - TOO PRETTY TO WORK'. I'm heading off to the spa with hubby's credit card to help me get over the stress of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh hang on, I work at home by myself. And I've still got my pyjamas on. I'm not going to get away with it am I? Shucks....

[Ain't Nobody Here]

[The Dogmother]

*snorts*

 

I suspect she'd get short shrift working here with all the blokes; they'd send her off to muck out the pigs

[Looney]

I doubt she's tried very hard to make friends, from her quotes it sounds like she's the sort of person that would go around work talking about how gorgeous she is and how much her outfit cost. More likely that would cause people to not like her than the fact she is attractive looking. I wouldn't want to invite her for lunch or drinks

[Chucky Mama]

I think that you are all being very unfair. I suffer from the same problem. Being so beautiful I have to wear unflattering clothes, no makeup and have unruly hair just to get through the day. Life is hard

[Goosey Lucy]

 

Life is a series of hardships, isn't it

[The Dogmother]

 

Reminds me of what my grandma used to say - something along the lines of beauty being a 'genetic accident' and 'pretty is as pretty does'.
