STARS

I was listening to interviews with ballet dancers (as you do) and this strategy applied to their careers too. It's hard to move from the corps de ballet to a position as a soloist, for example, but if the dancers were ultra prepared and gained a reputation for being reliable then more opportunities followed. Dependable is the key word.Re: the bib. Watching Josie talking on IACGMOOH last night was interesting. For years after big brother she kept applying to tv and getting nowhere. Eventually got a tiny shot on This Morning, then a bigger slot, then a bigger and eventually when everyone else had been ill (or sacked) she got a call to host.
That's how you do it. You show up prepared, do the work and build it in to a career.
This all flies in the face of someone with a supposed crippling lack of self confidence.
A few months ago, in Paris, a French guy in a shop said to me ‘you look like XXXXX’ (a 1960s French singer). I looked her up and thought she was really attractive. I was flattered inside, and though I thought she was much more attractive than me, I could see what he was getting at although I didn’t see it myself.
NEVER would I ever say to anyone ‘someone said I look like XXXXX’ for fear of seeming to be vain or bragging. Id also never say I was channeling someone for the same reason, unless I was being self deprecating and saying someone like Bella Emberg (no dis to Bella) if that makes sense.
Just went looking for these two especially for you who haven’t gazed upon them.
not sure why she’s blurred out her fandan as if t’were a priceless Tiffany earring in that first one, either.
What are we betting then, cabal? Will Jack-
1. LEAVE and never Tweet again
2. Say something dull like Merry Christmas and wait for the comments club to shower her in love
3. Complain about alcohol in mince pies and vaguely allude to how she’s struggling with sobriety at this time of year
4. Ask comments club their favourite festive treat for a nice timeline cleanse
5. S*ic*de attempt recently due to evil trolls
6. I’m back, I was advised not to Tweet due to my stalker
7. Lukewarm take on current media / politics issue
8. Retweet of charity post / MH quote
9. Awful square pic of the sky with some cheesy quote or poetry
10. Sneaky reply to someone else’s Tweet
Place your bets! Winner gets a black Friday copy of Grifty Kitchen, a mop and some matured tumble dryer water in an old Schweppes lemonade bottle. Second place gets the fluff for their fire pit.

I’m going for a mix of 5&6
Exactly! And not even that she had to take them (which many in my industry have had to due to declining work opportunities) just that she had to APPLY.
The Guardian just interviewed this very well respected documentary director who had to join Royal Mail and become a postman. There's no shame in it. My Dad did it for 45 years. The only thing those of us who have to switch are mourning..... is the loss of our creativity and potentially having to abandon our careers for good.
She has no idea what smart resourceful people will do without fuss because she is neither smart nor resourceful.
I wonder what she does all day as an unemployed sole occupant.
What the duck are these… thanks dearest Vali for bringing back some absolute crackers from the archives.
The headband - just what
The cords - filtered so much they’ve gone kind of squiffy and make my eyes funny
The facial expression in the second one - I actually can’t deal with it
How can you say you are being exactly who you are then filter the duck out of the photos? LJC.
You know the headband’s made out of her actual hair, right? It’s the big long bit she kept at the front when she shaved the rest.What the duck are these… thanks dearest Vali for bringing back some absolute crackers from the archives.

As Jack might say, if chickens were stars and stars chickens, we’d all have headbands made out of our own hair.

6 but leaves the reason for not being able to tweet as a mystery for maximum attention. Maybe with a hint of 5 for good measure.

Her actual hair that was falling out by the handful.

Do the newer frauen know the tale of the Peeky Mink?
Before my time, but an absolute banger, involves a nefarious LJC.

Pray tell?
I can’t remember if it was @Veronicaaa who spotted it, but in lockdown 1, after DKL but before SHE LEFT the twitter account of one “peekymink“ was interacting with LJC and others, merrily tweeting about their Ocado delivery…whilst Jack was gnashing and wailing about her poverty. After writing about it here, it mysteriously stopped tweeting…
