Hollywood women think a Syrian intervention is a new cosmetic procedure

When I read this today, I was immediately taken back to yesterday or possibly the day before that, because Drew in his inimitable fashion wrote to me with regard to Hollywood actors and one in particular. During which rant as only he could , he managed to rip into hollyweird persons in a manner that left no doubt as to his feelings.  So when I saw this I thought, Drew could have written it too.  And maybe even better. Have to give that some thought cos this lady has really nailed it, and I never guessed she had a sense of humor.  But wait.  I don’t think she’s trying to be funny.
She’s a reporter and that’s exactly what she’s doing here. Reporting.

For those of you who may not know, she is married to Piers Morgan, who took over from Larry King at CNN last year.
But more importantly, she is a very smart and accomplished woman and, a new mommy. 
Here’s a taste.  Very interesting background

Save me from the Model Wives with tomatoes for brains

These Hollywood women think a Syrian intervention is a new cosmetic procedure

By Celia Walden

A few days ago, a small item in the New York Times caught my eye. The article was about tomatoes, and why they’ve lost their taste. Turns out that breeders here – intent on giving us the shiniest, reddest tomatoes they can – have latched on to a genetic mutation that has the unfortunate side effect of making the fruit tasteless. “Good Looks,” read the headline, “Equal a Blah Taste.” I might not have noticed the piece had I not spent the previous night in the company of a witty film producer and his model wife. The wife was a Hollywood Tomato: preternaturally plumped out and shiny, with a load of watery mush inside that perfect cranium.

Now I’ve got nothing (aside from the obvious) against models, but while my husband invariably gets to spend dinners making intelligent conversation, I’m forever getting stuck with the Model Wife. These women aren’t genetically stupid, but years of being prized for nothing but their looks have led to a certain amount of decay in the head department. Wit and intellect are like muscles which, left too long unused, wither and die.

Nobody has ever asked the Model Wife what she thinks of Obamacare or contemporary art. These women think a Syrian intervention is a new cosmetic procedure. That’s a little unfair, you say – what about Model Husbands? Well, there aren’t many about, accomplished women being less inclined to marry brainless trophies.

In a bid to limit these painful social occasions, I’ve devised endless signals (the left ear-lobe tug, the sharp kick to the shin) to convey to my husband that I’m throbbing – on occasion hyperventilating – with boredom. They seldom work. He’ll nod distractedly and turn back to his scintillating companion, leaving me to discuss the relative merits of French manicures.

What mystifies me is how these mismatched couples make their relationships work back home. Once she loses her looks, the Tomato Spouse must become markedly less appealing – as confirmed by an agent friend, whose marriage to a former model recently fell apart. “We were reading the papers over breakfast one day,” he explained, “when she sighed and said: ‘I don’t know why these political parties don’t just take it in turns. Then we wouldn’t have to go through this every four years.’” The following morning he filed for divorce.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
