Comments on: If She Were Childfree Would It Still Have All Gone Right? http://thebritgirl.com/2007/08/27/if-she-were-childfree-would-it-still-have-all-gone-right/ The Interests of a Childfree Brit Living in Toronto Fri, 09 Jan 2009 22:09:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: brightfeather http://thebritgirl.com/2007/08/27/if-she-were-childfree-would-it-still-have-all-gone-right/#comment-8839 brightfeather Wed, 29 Aug 2007 17:49:34 +0000 http://thebritgirl.com/2007/08/27/if-she-were-childfree-would-it-still-have-all-gone-right/#comment-8839 I dismissed the whole article as unaltered <strong> shlock </strong>. It made me gag. I conclude that the writer must be one of the "brainwashed" who think children "complete" relationships and who derive an income from tailgating "celebrities". {shaking head in disgust} I dismissed the whole article as unaltered shlock .

I can understand it being in rags like People, Hello or OK Magazine or similar celebrity rags. But talentless, tasteless tottie in - the Times? Is nowhere safe? Feh... lol, I never thought of them having a kid to get more face time on the tabloids. But it's true. Seems all they have to do is pop one out... and not necessarily be even fit to look after it - and they're on the front page of the latest celebrity rag gushing at how "movverhood has changed their lives..." Hard to believe that there's anyone who cares, but apparently people are buying these mags... SM - The even sadder thing is that such an article was in the Time - a supposedly “serious newspaper”.

Of course Heidi Klum et al can have a buttload of kids, and still look great, and still have their fabulous careers, bla bla bla. But that's because they have the best personal trainers and round-the-clock nannies, hell, they barely raise their own kids...the nannies do. Real women are usually forever ruined (body-wise) by pregnancy and have to actually do all the work with the kids, not just play with them until its time for the nanny to change the diaper.

They suck balls, and not in a good way. "Oooohhh...Heidi is so beautiful and skinny after baby! Look, Brit's just like us with her babies and frappachinos. Wow! Who would have thunk Catherine Zeta-Jones could be so beautiful while (or after) pregnant!" Like the talentless crop of busty brunettes and anorexic blonds isn't annoying enough, then they start spooting out children to get MORE FACE TIME on the tabloid covers. Gah, it's all a made up, air brushed illusion of a fake life, then they have to add kids to make it even more annoying...er newsworthy. I hate celebrity moms. They suck balls, and not in a good way.

Yeah, right! Seriously, though, the whole article left me feeling queasy. I bet that if Klum were childfree, the writer would find a way to mention it and imply that her life was lacking as a result. As for her looks, if we all had an army of stylists, makeup artists, hairdressers, personal trainers, etc we'd all look fantastic! I laughed at the hot hubby bit too. Yeah, right!

I am looking for the gorgeous - and I can't see it. It's crazy that already beautiful and perfectly healthy girls are going to aspire to... this. Probably starving themselves in the process. I had to laugh when they wrote that Seal was the hot husband...lol. Strawberry - The thing is.. I am looking for the gorgeous - and I can’t see it.

If she could be any celeb in the world, or meet any celeb in the world, it would be Heidi friggin Klum. And D. (my friend) is already so gorgeous it pisses me off, but as far as she's concerned Heidi is like, THE epitome of human beauty. Whateva. I guess D.'s going way out of her way to emulate Klum because she has a 2 year-old daughter and another one on the way (two kids, two daddies, ahem). Oh well, at least D.'s boytoy is way hotter than Seal. oh my dog, i know the biggest Heidi Klum worshipper EVER.
