What I don't understand is why all this attention on JR and her daughter , and so little has been said about AK and her very lovely normal daughter Lucy, she did two hours with her mum, and imho she was a pleasure to watch.
I saw the Lucy thread and commented.
I think a thread negatively (I know you infer the term 'equine' isn't derogatory but I have to differ with you on that one) commenting on a young girls looks is cruel and akin to bullying. However I realise that's only my opinion and others obviously disagree. Tbh I get really fed up with the female presenters looks being discussed and dissected in such minute detail. Personalities ~ great go for it! But looks ~ no. Whether Julia, Alison or poor Anne (who has come in for some particularly unkind remarks) are attractive or not is of no interest to me, nor does it have a bearing on how good a presenter they are.
As I said previously, I feel women's self esteem (especially young women and girls) really suffers from all the continuous criticism that's bomarded at them and it's especially galling when it's often other women that are the biggest critics.
I suppose I also feel for Julia. If my beloved, beautiful daughter was termed horsey I'd be so hurt I'd explode!
I don't think I napalmed your thread BFT ~ just tried put my views on it across :smile:
Sophie is no longer young,she is a woman who has sought the spotlight and is in the spotlight.
We will have to agree to disagree that this is akin to bullying.
However,just to deflect some of the attention away from Sophie for a few minutes,I would like to point you int he direction of this cracking website,there are some excellent photos on here,which did make me laugh out loud when it was sent to me about a year ago.
It may make you laugh too,depending on your sense of humour,or it could just make those of you who are angry,angrier.
I'm willing to take that risk.
Regarde.
