“Ugh, you’re too skinny AND too fat”

The British tabloids really are unparalleled at this sort of thing. Who’d be a female celebrity these days? (Well, quite a lot of wannabes, as it happens…) It’s the use of the word unsightly that gets me.

  1. Good Lord, you’re reading a lot of Daily Mail articles these days!!

  2. My shameful secret: I read the Daily Mail every day (online, obviously)! I sort of have to, for work, but it’s also one of my guiltiest pleasures.

  3. I understand totally! My dad buys it every day for the sudoku; when my parents visit I always complain bitterly about him bringing it into MY house - then I find myself pilfering it! I read it avidly then complain even louder about it. It’s such a bizarre mishmash of stuff - I’ve followed a couple of your posted links, then spent an hour futtering about on their site with other interesting stories.

    Mind you, first thing I do on a Sunday is check the NOTW and Sunday Mirror sites, and I would NEVER buy those in real life…
