In one of those freak hate-fests that social media now regularly throw up, a 41-year-old blonde called Samantha Brick last week became one of the most talked-about women in Britain. She lamented,Jewellery and replicalvhandbag stolen in Framlingham. in the Daily Mail, the fact that her “lovely looks”, which turned men to putty, awakened so much female hostility. The article, clearly intended as a red rag fluttered towards a dozing bull,List of affordable Breitling prices for used and authentic Breitling in womencanadagoosecoats. worked alarmingly well: the Twitter-bull awoke, snorted, charged and trampled Brick with immense ferocity. The gist of the criticism was that she was arrogant, deluded and not pretty enough to justify her self-praise.
Now, it must be said that there is something a little odd about Brick's world-view. As her past articles have indicated, she left a career in television in England to live in rural France with an older, worryingly bossy French husband, who monitors her weight and selects her clothes, and who threatened yesterday to “intervene violently” to “protect” his wife. She was,Most miumiureplicahandbags can ship the same day FREE via Ground shipping. she says, a plain child who grew into an attractive woman, and has evidently fixated on the politics of appearance ever since.The great selection of wholesale BurberryHandbags at TradeTang. It is her firm belief that women are automatically hostile to other good-looking women. She frequently cites instances of female unreasonableness based on jealousy, although – confusingly – she also insists she has a large group of female friends who aren't like that at all.
It's all a bit mixed-up and silly, and might be worthy of some mickey-taking. But it appears to have triggered great waves of rage, a mass, pop-eyed choleric explosion of “How dare she!”
On Thursday, Brick appeared on This Morning with Eamonn Holmes and his wife Ruth Langsford, and I couldn't help feeling that President Assad of Syria would have had more congenial treatment. As the armchair drubbing went on, augmented by calls from angry viewers, I felt a bit sorry for Brick, who seemed nicer and more fragile on television. Still she stuck to her guns and suggested that all this hostility was just the price she paid for being beautiful.
It was increasingly evident that Brick, with her blithely bragging article, had outraged some powerful modern taboo. The human race has always been obsessed by physical beauty, but never as relentlessly as in this age, in which we are constantly bombarded with fresh images of physical perfection. These are often of models, who are not only extraordinarily pretty but also extremely young, who have been elaborately coiffed and made up by experts,How do internet users feel about pradahandbags001? shot in the most flattering poses and light, and then had their images digitally retouched to erase any lingering imperfections. The prevalence of such pictures – in magazines, on the internet, on billboards, television and public transport – ensures that artful images of the tiny minority who have won the genetic lottery are almost as frequently before our eyes as the faces of family or colleagues.
