From her Tuesday column:
THE NAKED TRUTH BEATS BURKAS
Wow - maybe Julie will write a new TV show - similar to her excellent Sugar Rush - and base it around Sophie!
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 âĪ10,000 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.
