Alis girls Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Many years ago I was pretty till the hard work took its toll, now years later I am a bitter twisted old broad of 51. So frankly I would say dont work love or you'll end up looking like me and if any guys want to leave a box of chocs. bunch of flowers or some nice bling on my desk - pm me and I;ll give you my address Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I am so thankful I am plain, it sounds like a terrible life being pretty BTW, what's with the strange camera angle for that shot though?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Me too Claire, I'm not sure I could live with the burden of being beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 The advantage of being a Plain Jane when getting older is that I don't miss what I never had. I was never defined by my looks so my world doesn't tilt on it's axis as I change. I guess that now she's in her thirties, maintaining things is taking more effort and maybe she's panicking a bit.

The Dogmother Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I wonder if she was hoping for a boost to her modelling career - she's probably made more enemies with that article though - misfired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Me too Claire, I'm not sure I could live with the burden of being beautiful Oh, I've learnt to cope over the years. I just budget an extra half an hour for my journey from Reception to my desk so that being accosted by adoring women doesn't disrupt my normal working routine. Admittedly I have to keep a spare shirt in the car in case of rippages, but overall it's pretty manageable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I wasn't aware at the time but I now realise getting fat was a serious personal sacrifice for my career so I wasn't 'too pretty' too work. Wish I'd realised at the time I could have felt virtuous whilst I was eating that extra cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I can name at least 4 girls at my place of work who are prettier & much more natural that this lady. There is certainly nothing about our work environment that stops them working! One girl is a stunning drop dead beauty, yet she still manages to come to work & do her job. Odd that this woman can't.

The Dogmother Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Is this unwelcome attention causing you distress at work - to the extent that you can't face going in to the office? Sorry, nearly choked on my cuppa there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
