She seems to put no effort into the dreary these days - in the past there were funny elements - but it seems like the MOS will publish uncritically whatever dross she sends in.
I also think that the whole baker storyline has bombed rather badly - I think she thought that after the media frenzy surrounding the fictional *rock star* that a real person would create even more media excitement (even if he was largely playing a role that she defined for him). She thought that she could just dial it in as she did with the RS storyark with alternating themes of
- how much I love him/waiting for proposal
- how insecure I am - am I worthy?
- financial woes in Dulverton. N Yorks, London
- how much I resent him/he does things to annoy me such as show consideration for his own family, friends, children, work commitments etc
- how he doesn't understand the stresses of my job, clothes, animals, staff. family, spending
- the problems of my disability
- veganism - while eating eggs/cheese
Bla bla bla
