Sali Hughes #19 When Harry met Sali (I'll have what she's having)

[ThisIsMyDragName]

A family member used to manage a WH Smith’s. They regularly used to send me uncorrected proofs that they got through work. It’s really not that elite a club of people that get to come into possession of such things, you know!

Title suggestion (something that @Curio said upthread):

Sali Hughes #20: Just stick to the good feedback please, the rest makes you a bad person.

 

[Skiddidlydaddle]

Reading a whole proof or galley or whatever she is pretentiously calling it while downing a nice cold bottle of Retsina. Defo no kids there. (Lucky her, sounds like a dream ).

Chin something in my town means you want to nut it (headbutt it). Brighton must be much more civilised.

Her kids are older. They wouldn't require constant supervision

 

[Sheeeet]

Ohh, sha-ZAM!

 

[Skiddidlydaddle]

Yeah, I suppose so but being able to read a whole book and down a whole bottle of wine (i would be somewhat tipsy on a hot day) is pushing it a bit far with under 16's. I don't know! I'm not judging anyone's parenting, but it seems a bit much.

I don't have kids, so don't listen to me

 

[Skiddidlydaddle]

I have a 7 year old and would love to lay about drinking a bottle of wine and reading a whole book between naps. Well jel.

While that's undoubtedly true, in this context I don't think SH minds so much what we think of her, her concern is with what we say.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I'd say it's the same difference though

 

[Skiddidlydaddle]

Ohhhh she definitely cares what people think of her. (Don't we all?)

 

[NotDumbNotBlonde]

Her lip fillers are very obvious in the red lipstick post on IG

Crikey not a good look! And I hope she didn't pay for that haircut - she wuz robbed if she did!

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Yeah hence why you need a thick skin to be a public figure

 

[Skiddidlydaddle]

I just cannot fathom putting my whole life onto social media for an audience of randoms to pick apart. My living room, my days face of makeup, Thursdays outfit, doing my exercise, what I ate for my tea, my husband or kids face. No, no, no, no.

 

[Aude]

I think if we were just mumbling to ourselves in our own little caves I don't think it would cause her much angst.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

But this is our little cave. Sali chooses to come and read here

Agreed, but I meant individually - if we were just individually mumbling to ourselves, rather than conversing with each other.

That's a fantastic image. Mumbling to ourselves in a cave alone about Sali Hughes.

Gossip isn't wholly destructive and is interesting from an anthropological perspective. It did serve a function in human evolution, allowing us to move beyond small tribes into organised societies. Harari writes about it in Sapiens
