From her Tuesday column:

THE NAKED TRUTH BEATS BURKAS

quote:
There are lots of reasons why the burka strikes sensible people as being vile - it's a straightjacket, it's a shroud and most important of all it prevents one from being an equal opportunities looky-lou when it comes to leching



But one of the more philosophical is that it seeks both to define and to impose goodness in a way which is strikingly simple-minded - babyish even. Women who revel in their 'right' to stagger through sweltering streets dressed as parrots in cloth-covered cages think that the act of keeping one's ankles covered means they are in possession of virtue, decency and honour.



But how affecting and true is decency which comes as a surprise - or more specifically in the silicone shape of Big Brother's Sophie Dogface. A 30GG glamour model who has already done Playboy by the age of 20, how adorable was it when it turned out that she'd slept with fewer people in her life than most of the female columnists who deride both glamour girls and BB housemates as promiscuous slappers get through before brunch on an average day?



Surely, Kris's confusion at his squeeze's outrageous chastity, and his subsequent inability to process the information in an affectionate, or respectful way, was one of the things that did for him come eviction night?



'The truth loves to go naked,' said some old fancy-pants philosopher, and in the sweet-natured Dogface, we see this is the case - or at least goes topless.



The girl who was too scared of heights to become an air stewardess but somehow found the nerve to jump out of a plane to raise â‚Ī10,000 for wounded soldiers has more decency, honour and virtue in one cosmetically assisted nipple than a dozen burka-wearing hate-mongers screaming at homecoming servicemen have in their entire bodies.



Wow - maybe Julie will write a new TV show - similar to her excellent Sugar Rush - and base it around Sophie! Wink

but thats her job...but good points indeed.


I'm searching for the right words here. What I was trying to say is that it seemed to come far too naturally to her rather than something she was attempting to act out for the video. I don't think it was something she learned to do as part of her job.

Wow! The logical leap is mental athleticism at least! Eeker

She's good at that, ask Tony Parsons.


Lots of mental lycra involved! Laugh

Smiler

Not really, but then I can't ever imagine La Burchill championing a slighty dweeby posh bloke. Not allowed in her universe of cool, which is set somewhere between The Face circa 1980, and one of Martin Amis's novels about exciting "common" types.

Plastic tits - worn by women in certain countries, because that's what some men like them to do, and when combined with chastity is usually because of social pressure from men not to be a slapper because they want them only to have sex with them and not everyone else


Am I alone in seeing more similarities than differences Confused....
