I saw the bizarre moaning about the period book. It's not like her own books are on the world's most original subjects (cosmetics and the Royal Family...). She just seems paranoid, defensive, and terrified of anyone stealing her "crown", mixed with a strange self-important anger if anyone has another point of view. No understanding of how to debate, no critical thinking - classic case of someone with a chip on their shoulder about not going to university. Decided she knew it all and then brought down the intellectual shutters. It's a bad move though, because being a beauty writer gets harder as women get older (nature of the youth-obsessed industry she's complicit in), and because her writing is becoming so repetitive, with no sense of investigative thinking or intellectual openness, it's likely the 'serious' journalism will dry up as well. I don't see much evidence of her doing those kind of articles since The Pool bombed tbh, and she only got so much coverage there because her mate ran it. She just seems like a deluded rent-a-gob nowadays.
