Liz Jones is Credit Crunched in the end.....

lostinrates that is such an accurate (and hilarious) summary!:rotfl:

Ladies really do go through some stuff in the name of vanity.

This article writing woman may do all this stuff to herself. Doesn't change the fact that she still looks like she's been set on fire & put out with a bent cricket bat after falling out of the ugly tree hitting every branch on the way down...

Her lack of inner beauty manifests itself in her appearance. It is the equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig.

I guess like the writers version of Katie Price? Only room for one or 2 of them.

How much of it do you think is true and how much embellished?

it depends what you mean by 'true'. i think we are all guilty of selective memory and interpretation. i don't think she actually makes stuff up deliberately. you know how some people always sound like they have interesting lives and make an amusing anecdote over a trip to the shop - well, i think liz is that sort of person. sees things differently to others. notices things others don't.

like the dog dying stuff. if that happened to some people they'd just say their dog had been kicked in the head by a horse and killed and then probably go on to say how upset they felt about it. liz however starts her tale earlier, with emotional build and set-up and ends with the dog being killed and no mention of her grief afterwards. she allows us to read in so much more than is actually written. what is left out is as important as what is left in.

it's actually not as easy as it comes across to do that stuff.

I do want her job though. I'd love the freebie beauty treatments and womens' issue and lifestyle writings. I'm no fussed about the celeb interviews. A lot of how she looks is made worse by her health/eating issues I think. The picture with the horse where she looks more relaxed and less.....cross, is much nicer, don't you think?

rofl. I'm going to wait. I've got stuff to use up and I'm not sure its for me. I tried some on the beck of my hand and tbh felt none of the amazing smoothness etc that people are saying they got from first use...

I think there is a pellet you can take for that...

LJ, I really do think she looks better in that picture. Beside which, if she doesn't....not everyone can be beautiful of face, so its not her looks that really make her ''ugly'' to me. and there are a number of techniclly ugly people who are still remarkably attrative. Beauty, visual human beauty is transient (usually, I know a cuple of extraordinarily beautiful elderly women) and fragile and ...both precious yet unimportant.

I think ninky has got it exactly right .

in that in this sort of writing ''truth'' is...movable. Conversations get dramatised, events moved around to make better copy and feelings, literary ideas can carry an artistic truth of their own not entirely relating to the factual relay of events. A columnist would be pretty boring if they gave a totally factual to do and what they think list.

''got up, brushed teeth, decided this shower cleaner doesn't work as well as the last, sure there is limescale...fed the horse, same old same old. Went to the supermarket, passed niceties with people''...its all a bit dull. So if compounding a week into a weekly column I'd expect a few inconsistencies, and Liz compounds her whole ''life'' into one: I'd expect a lot of inconsistencies. The thing for me is none of that its:

not a very good image of anyone to try and portray for them selves for their own view of the world, OR to give others a glimse of the world through their eyes.

love space nk

Out of interest lir, how do you think it compares to other products on the market? I love Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair and swear by it and its sister products and with their TIme Zone and Idealist products you see smooth skin and wrinkles fade. I seem to remember you use some of these too. Wondered how they stack up. Can't see how SpaceNK can be £250 better.
