It’s a beautiful life - for some

WHAT KATI DID NEXT:

I was flicking through a Sunday supplement this week when I came across the most astonishing pictures.

A young lady of, well, let’s call her beautiful extraction, was painted entirely silver.

Then another picture of her with an intricate tattoo across her entire body and lastly a very beautiful close up of her and her enormous eyes and lips.

She was, I think it would be safe to say, stunningly beautiful.

She very clearly fell off the pretty tree, hit every branch on the way down and pushed the majority of us off into the mud.

She is of course a model and she is at the forefront of many a designer’s campaign this year.

That is her job, to look attractive and that is very much what she does.

She is about to take a lead role in a new American blockbuster and she seems very pleased to be doing so.

She also seems rather happy in her relationship “She won’t confirm him by name, but she does admit she’s ‘so in love.’”

“I’m very happy,” she said, so that’s nice for her.

All of this is well and good and you know, I’m not one to bear a grudge, so all right, she’s good looking and yes, she’s had a fabulous career as a model and about to embark on a new one as an actress and fair enough she seems to be extremely happy in her partnership, oh and she’s still only 27, but, well, hey, that’s fine with me.

No, what caught my eye about this story were the quotes at the end of it. “The less you’re concerned with beauty, the more beautiful you are.

“Vanity is the most unattractive quality. I’m much too eager to live life to be concerned with that sort of rubbish.”

So says an immensely stunning, incredibly lucky, young lady.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be attractive and successful enough to quote such balderdash in magazines?

How about the fact that because she is beautiful this has opened doors for her in ways that “normal” women will never have.

We “normal” women will probably never even get invited up the drive to see the doors that aren’t being opened for us.

I don’t mind women being beautiful, successful and happy but let’s call it what it is.

A real stroke of good genes and a huge barrel of luck.
