And they are LOVING this - the Samantha Brick story has made them at least £100k so far. And every time you click, you make them more money!<br /><br />As for Samantha Brick's point about how she is treated due to looks, well I have a very beautiful friend, and it's incredible how men react to her. They drop everything to run around trying to help her out; you never have to wait at a bar or in a shop - help is always at hand.

Because if you believe you are the most beautiful woman in the room, others(esp. men) will too. I have seen this work with many people before, and in Samantha Brick's case, her inflated ego would suffice instead of confidence.<br /><br />At first I thought this article was a way for Samantha to monopolize on the media attention towards the degradation of women as of late. The media frenzy that ensued when Ashley Judd called us out for perpetuating female stereotypes should make us all ashamed to berate a woman so clearly delusional. "That women are joining in the ongoing disassembling of my appearance is salient. Patriarchy is not men. Patriarchy is a system in which both women and men participate."-The Daily Beast<br /><br />But as I read on to the second article in the Daily Mail, it is clear that this woman has an inflated sense of ego regarding her appearance, nurtured by a sociopath of a father. His misogynistic tendencies not only distorted her sense of reality (apparently every time she looks in the mirror), but left her with a sense of worth and value that is almost negligible. <br /><br />She was taught that her appearance was the most valuable possession she could have, and her distorted dysfunctional relationship with her father perpetuates her vying for attention from other men. <br /><br />This grab for her 15 minutes of fame is clearly an attempt to re-establish some attention that she is no doubt losing as she ages. She most likely doesn't receive the attention from men as she did as she was in her 20's, and is panicking about the aging process. It's clear that she doesn't have much going on beyond "her looks".<br /><br />Samantha doesn't anger me as much as she makes me sad. I know a lot of you out there are attacking her for her appearance, and if I had to be honest, I chuckled a bit when I thought that this was a joke. I mean, she isn't the ugliest person, and I'm sure if she had a sparkling personality people would even say she was about average, or maybe even more. <br /><br />But Jen is right, it has to stop. Her fucked up father has turned her in to a sociopath with nothing better to do than push her insecurities on everyone else. Bashing her and calling her ugly just feeds in to this person's warped sense of self.Kim-Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992376667206578249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-56619738390899690372012-04-19T19:15:22.817-05:002012-04-19T19:15:22.817-05:00haha zing!haha zing!Marcellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06226147036129520367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-73447347343727298022012-04-19T15:50:26.124-05:002012-04-19T15:50:26.124-05:00Loved your closing rant on what girls really need ...Loved your closing rant on what girls really need to hear.
