I debated whether to put this under the Come Here So I Can Smack You heading, but I decided it was too sad. Like many of you, I am shaped a lot like my mother. And I am OK with that. It is who I am. Thank God I am not famous enough to have paparazzi and the attention of The Daily Mail. I always felt sorry for Sarah Ferguson. I was once the fat daughter-in-law (my former sister-in-law was a former model and ballerina) and it was never fun to be the ugly duckling in comparison to the beautiful swan. I thought I understood how she might have felt when she got crap for not being as perfect as Diana.
So, now, here we are, a generation later, and it is Sarah’s daughter who gets the crap. Very sad that we can’t let people decide for themselves whether they are happy with their body.
