Is it hard being pretty?
Have you seen this? I dont want to be mean, but I just dont see it.
Re: Is it hard being pretty?
Sigh, yes. It's something that I struggle with daily. I feel that it has really limited me.
Mind you, in all seriousness, I'd love to ask this question of Callatini or whatever the hell her nest name is. She lives in London and is seriously fecking gorgeous.
Chronically hilarious - you'll split your stitches!
I wrote a book! Bucket list CHECK!

Yep, she's not that pretty. Not a complete eyesore but definitely not hate-worthy.
(not that I would hate anyone for their looks or other)
yeah, she's not really that pretty. I'm not sure what's so hard for her.
callatini (or whatever her name is) - I haven't seen her in person, but I always get the feeling that she looks like Kate Middleton. (And though I doubt there are any KM haters out there, I mean that as a huge compliment.)
I don't think she looks like Kate, there's just something about Callatini that is just absolutely stunning.
No, I don't have a girl-crush on Callatini. But she just looks so effortlessly gorgeous and she has that really light skin with dark hair, a killer smile and really gorgeous eyes. Seriously super model kind of beauty.
Very unfair.

Yeah, I think it's totally about the vibe you put out there. And that lady definitely gives off the "I need men to like me for my own validation," hence the attention.
I don't think she's as pretty as she thinks she is.
I do have a friend from HS who is stunning. Ridiculously beautiful. At least once a day someone tells her on FB how beautiful she is. I always wonder how rough can that be? Really? Because if she ever wants to trade I'd be happy to suffer her trials.
I think she is either insanely intelligent (look at all the publicity it has gotten her all over the world) or a nutjob! Fine line I know!
If it is not a PR stunt then she needs a wake up call from someone like Carla Bruni or Elle McPherson- seriously beautiful women who have let nothing hold them back and are succesful but aren't bitches or conceited.
Potato Pie: Good point. I wonder if she considered herself ugly when she was younger.
I mean, I AM that gorgeous, and you don't see me complaining about the flowers and champagne. It's just part of life, you know. Everyone has their trials and tribulations, and those are mine.
Ha. Ok, now seriously,
I was thinking the exact same thing - if you want to get www attention, that's the way to do it.
I read a similar article this morning, and am with everyone else who says that's she's pretty but not beautiful enough to be saying things along the lines of "zomg, just think of all the flowers and bottles of champagne I have to clear off my front step every morning before I leave for work." And that women probably don't like her because she's so conceited.
I also agree with whoever said that beautiful women can have problems being taken seriously in the workplace, but that's not what she was complaining about. She was complaining about all the date offers and jealous, hateful women.
My two cents would be it's her attitude that troubling her sisterhood connections more than her looks.
I have a couple casual friends who give the same line, 'oh I have so few female friends, b/c all women are jealous.' Is it true? I don't know, I guess it could be, but I'd tend to think the attitude is more annoying than the beauty.
As for me personally, I don't have a problem having friends who are prettier (or for that matter smarter) than me... You know the party's in trouble if I'm truly the most engaging person in the room. Really though... I can hold my own, but I prefer to aspire rather than lead the pack.
I described her to my H as not-repulsive.
Their talking about this on P&CE. There's a follow-up article where she says that the negative reaction she's received just proves her point.
aaaand there's a follow up...

She isn't anything special IMO and I suspect her attitude is to blame rather than her looks wrt women not liking her.
One of my best friends is absolutely stunning (dark hair/pale skin snow white type classical beauty) & because she is genuinely friendly and not completely full of herself she has never had that issue.
Also totally agree re Callatini: gorgeous!
Wow. I truly couldn't get past the part where she talks about how she flirts to get ahead.
I mean, good for her - sounds like she works for her figure and eats properly and takes care of herself. But I've seen prettier people out there.
And I don't think her looks are the problem with having women friends - if she's constantly talking about how jealous everyone is of her, that's really not the start to a friendship!

Wow I missed that bit- no wonder women hate her if that is the strategy she uses to get ahead! The lady has problems!
Uuuhhhh... How delusional is she? If she's getting personal greetings from the freaking pilot, then I want to know where I can pick mine up.
I kind of do want to be mean, but I am super pregnant, super hormonal and my motherfecking in laws are here and making me nuts. So, like, I get to be mean, right?
