JUNKYARD ANGEL, York, says: ‘The captain gave her a bottle of champers for being beautiful . . . Thank God I wasn’t on the plane, his eyesight must be shot!!!!’ JAY, Leeds, says: ‘No love, they don’t hate you because you’re beautiful (which you aren’t really), they hate you because you’re a smug, self-satisfied, deluded, vacuous idiot.’ BURTIE B says: ‘So lovely, so charming and witty and yet all she managed to attract was a fat Frenchman — says it all really!’ KATE, London, says: ‘I couldn’t get to the end of the article because her massive ego was in the way.’ NOT IMPRESSED says: ‘To all those saying this poor woman is no oil painting — I think she is. A Picasso.’ PHILIP, London, says: ‘There’s more than a passing resemblance to a young Les Dawson in the picture.’ MICHELLE, Ireland, says: ‘I’ve seen better heads on a pint of Guinness.’ RUSS, North Yorkshire, says: ‘I’m not a violent man, but a stick of TNT strapped to her mouth sounds like a magnificent idea!’ VICKY, Cornwall: ‘Is this an April fool or am I missing something? Not sure the camera has captured her beauty or “lovely looks”!’ WHITE NOISE, London: ‘If she were a cake, she’d eat herself .’ LOUISE, Kentucky, says: ‘Miss Piggy comes to mind. Except Miss Piggy isn’t completely deluded!!’ KEIKO, Toronto, says: ‘If the woman in this article is so plagued by the burden of her looks, tell her to wear a burka. Problem solved.’ DIVASUE says: ‘If anyone ever needed any psychiatric help it’s this woman. I feel rather sorry for her.’ DAMIAN WANSTALL, Brighton, says: ‘Dear DM, sorry but you have obviously printed the wrong pictures for this article. Please can you amend this immediately and upload the pictures of the beautiful woman this article refers to.’ ANNIE, Toronto, says: ‘I don’t normally write comments but this article was so outrageous, I just had to. I don’t judge on looks, but this writer seems so deluded, I thought perhaps she needed a reality check. Sorry if this sounds mean, but the writer is not that attractive. In fact, she is only marginally OK- looking. Her arrogance, however, is breathtaking. Perhaps the reason other women don’t like her is because she comes across as an unlikable, self-obsessed narcissist?’ GINA HEARN, Prague, says: ‘I was going to say I am obviously missing something here, and that I think Ms Brick is only moderately pretty and I just cannot believe some of her story. But she will probably just say I’m just jealous so I won’t bother.’ MARYANN, New Zealand, says: ‘OMG is this woman for real? Who does she think she is? I know and have seen much more attractive women then her. Her ego is huge. Get over yourself, love. You are not going to win Miss World any time soon!’ ALAN, New York, says: ‘So who’s going to be first to say it . . .?’ MARY MILLAR, Perth, Australia, says: ‘I get the impression she thinks she’s gorgeous. I’m afraid I’m missing something here.’ KJG, Tallahassee, Florida, says: ‘ If she is beautiful, then I’m Miss Universe.’ EVA, Norway, says: ‘Wow, she really is the centre of her own attention! She’s moderately attractive on the outside, but must be a bore to spend time with.’ TIGER’S EYE, USA, says: ‘I kept looking at the title to this story and then back at the picture, to try to make the two match. They don’t. She is not attractive at all. But I guess her sense of selfimportance is what opens and closes doors for her.’ CHRISTINA, Phoenix, Arizona, says: ‘Sorry, but the author here only seems to suffer from an over-inflated sense of self.’ LEFLEUR, Ireland, says: ‘She has a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp!’ SOPHIE, Amsterdam, says: ‘This woman is so average-looking it’s funny. She looks like a middle-aged mum! With this attitude, she must be painful to work with or be around and only men find her OK because she flirts with them to inflate their egos, too! Madness!’ JAMES TY, New York City, says: ‘Wow, you Brits sure have a lousy definition of “pretty”.’ SIMON, Cape Town, South Africa, says: ‘Beautiful? Errrrr . . . No! You don’t even have straight teeth! As a straight man I wouldn’t give you second glance!’ AMANDA, Zurich, says: ‘ “Once, a well-dressed chap bought my train ticket when I was standing behind him in the queue” . . . and how did he know where she was going? I would suggest porky pies seem to be a bit of a problem here, but would hate to be suspected of being among the “jealous ones”.’
