    I couldn't be bothered to read the full article - why ON EARTH would she go on holiday to Florida? I s'pose it was another freebie, although she does say in the article that it was a holiday.

    Anyhow, for all her airs and graces she hasn't got much original thought - the decor in the barn conversion has been pretty much copied from the Anglepoise Lamp website!

    As always, such a friend to the sisterhood.

    Be fair! It takes real talent to take lovely, expensive clothes and make them look so dreadful. (And what's with the gipsy fortune teller hair?)

    'Shy and retiring.' Might I recommend permanent retiring.

    Why is she ordering scrambled eggs may I ask when the woman is supposed to be a vegan? :o

    You have to remember that HB is a vegan in the same way that people who only eat white meat consider themselves vegetarians, i.e. when it suits. It's the classic Humpty Dumpty defence - "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

    Also, when I got to the 9th word in this sentence from today's offering - "I road-tested both for price, ease of wear, sexiness and suitability to my age and body shape" - I sprayed tea all over the immediate vicinity. Nice to start the day with a good belly-laugh. :D

    Road-tested for ...
    sexiness
    ? :eek:

    Did LJ send some guy the usual email?
    ..Or did she consult her new (nearsighted) BFF Courtney? :eek:

    As a FM recently pointed out in another thread, we REALLY need an emoticon to indicate hysterical laughter/spitting out tea, etc. ':D' often isn't strong enough for LJ!

    PS - Hoping that Bellagio's Beach Boys research is going well :)
    (Unfortunately I haven't got to grips with Spotify ...yet)

    Toodle pip!

    Thanks, the research is good - just finished 6,300 words about Sunflower, now trying to find a guy who took some photos of the sessions. Fortunately, he was one of the co-founders of Rolling Stone. :D

    BTW, I didn't do the Wikipedia entry... but it is based largely on research I did years ago which was, er 'borrowed' by one of the book cited in the sources. I had to have a sharp legal word about that.

    Two-page lavishly illustrated advertorial for her farm in the London Evening Standard last night ...

    She doesn't seem too worried about her finances - she's off on yet another holiday - after she's finished insulting the beauty salon staff

    This may be the assignation with the Rock Star. Can't help feeling sorry for the poor sap...

    3 comments on that column page so far, all basically saying the same thing..."Another holiday? I thought you're always telling us you're broke?" and expressing horror at her rudeness.

    You've got to wonder why the Mail keep publishing this "Jones moans" column...there doesn't seem to be much evidence that anyone actually agrees with the views she spouts every week!

    She seems to think that by presenting herself as this outspoken, sharp-tongued customer who lashes out at salon/hotel/airline staff, she will somehow win our hearts as a great consumer champion. Or maybe a waspish sitcom type Victor Meldrew character who says what the rest of us wish we had the nerve to say. But she's wrong on all counts. Normal people don't admire someone who insults staff. And we don't find rudeness admirable.

    What does everyone make of her response to the news that the eyelash technician doesn't work on Fridays? Odd.

    Anyone got a link to the Standard advertorial?

    Ummm... not sure you really want to - there's a most unfortunate glimpse of cleavage in one of the shots. Quite put me of m'toast and marmalade, what ? :eek:

    BTW, I've a sneaking feeling that at least two of those comments come from posters here. I know for sure one does... :rolleyes:

    Take that back, she says "somewhere hot": ergo, not Norfolk. :D

    She's playing to the Daily Mail demographic of rude little busy bodies upholding the English way of life against Jobs Worths and other forces of Socialism. Tiresome article and totally unbelievable. La Jones has been having her hair coloured for years in top salons and this is the first she's heard of having a patch test done the day before?

    As for her comment on the girl who doesn't work fridays? Well, that's a new little refinement. Most Daily Mail readers see Muslims as the cause of ALL World Evil so lets get a dig in about them this week. It makes a change from the poor salon girl being chastised for having to look after a child a or husband or being blasted for working part time and not chained to her career.

    ‘I want to make an appointment for this Friday, the 13th,(:D) .... for a Brazilian wax, spray tan, roots retouch, eyelash extensions and a pedicure, and I need to be finished by 5.30pm.’

    Best of British, LJ.
    BTW: I wouldn't recommend being rude to salon staff involved in providing any of the above treatments....

    Hopefully Rock Star still has time to hop on his private jet and get the hell out of town.. :eek:

    The pics in the Standard piece... is it me, or is her face really covered in what looks like grease ?

    And that's one of the few full length shots I've seen of her: never realised the thighs were so (relatively) chunky before. Might be trim, but slim she ain't.

    A tutu? Gold ballet pumps? Earrings? Bracelets? I hate parents who over-decorate their offspring. I can just hear them thinking: ‘Hmm, can’t think of anything else to buy myself . . .’
    Don’t you just know little Sasha is going to grow up a nightmare, all ‘I am a princess. I can achieve anything I want. I am SO special . . . ’ God help her future husband.

    Slagging off a 9 year old little girl? Wow Liz, you tell her you big brave woman you!

    In any case, What exactly is wrong with what she is wearing? Most little girls like to dress up in frilly (and headache inducing!) styles and colours. I assume that Liz was the same when she was that age considering her final sentence...

    I noticed this photo of LJ in the LSE whilst I was browsing the article about her 'Exmoor Pile'.
    She's most peculiarly shaped indeed - lollipop head and no shoulders. And in almost every photo I've seen of her, she's wearing a tight white shirt which gapes & strains. Fashionista my ar*e!

    Funny that... :D
    A great white shirt with stretch - I buy mine a size too small so it doesn't look creased under a jacket

    didn't think she had any cleavage - thought she'd had it all lopped off
