India's sole source of self-worth is that she has been and currently is, married. To a man. Any man. She thinks being married to a man - even a gay man like her first husband, who left her for another man, or her latest catch, a man who is a foul, convicted child pron user and a major alcoholic with a record of violence - validates her as a superior being who meets some default standard of attractiveness and femininity. It's so, so obvious how she inserts this agenda into her writing and her commentary. She manages to try to insert it into that awful bitchy conversation above - single women may be 'odd looking', just like women with 'no friends'. It's all projection from a place of deep and obvious insecurity. She's typical of her class and background though in that she feels perfectly confident in farting out this stuff and expecting to be listened to and admired and her useless advice read.
The weird thing with that panel is them all talking as if they're all basically middle aged Jennifer Anistons on their way to being Helen Mirrens when even under studio lighting and full make-up they are clearly just a bunch of average to averagely ropey looking middle aged women, despite all the wretched 'tweaks' and interventions they're so fond of. None of them look any younger than they are, all of them look like average people you'd see in the street.
India's opinion of herself as some great ageing/cosmetics guru and deserved judger of women's appearances is just comical because in reality she is nothing more than a wealthy but stout middle aged woman in what looks like a floral housedress with dirty trainers on. She looks like a monied version of the older working class women I grew up with, who were similarly stout and wore cheap floral dresses and aprons and flat shoes out of necessity, having lives composed of a lot of housework, child raising, husband-wrangling and no help from anyone to do any of it, nor much money to spend on themselves. Although none of them would have been seen dead in sports shoes back then, it was proper shoes all the way. All that's missing is the permed, set hair which has been replaced with a modern 'do' that probably cost her a couple of hundred, and a full face pro make-up job for camera. beyond that, there is zero to seperate her from the common herd even 40 years ago, despite what she likes to think. Frankly, she hasn't aged well, looking at her old photos.
Caroline actually looks pretty messy and ungroomed in that shot and absolutely her age and certainly nobody anyone is looking up to wondering how she stays so young-looking.
Sali just looks like a typical overpaid and very groomed media type who is a bit younger and a lot thinner than the rest, and quite pleased about it and the other woman just looks averagely middle aged, same as anyone else. None of them look like some amazing examples of how to age better than thou or deserving of lecturing others on their faces and outfits. Not that anyone should do that anyway without being asked for advice. If I went to dinner with a mate and she apropos told me I had a new wrinkle and implied it was disgusting and told me to get botox, I'd never speak to her again. It's total mean girls behaviour and sickening in women in their forties and fifties, tbqh. What a nasty bunch of jumped-up idiots.

. She went on the wireless to tell the nation this. Poor old shakin' Becky was dredged up again. (Sali is certainly extracting her money's worth from that encounter isn't she?).
long time lurker here. Just popping my head in to say it gives me such a giggle to see how much Lisa Eldridge gets mentioned here 
' in her IG comments).
