Woman Who Kind of Looks Like Pennywise's Alky-Baby Mom Kind of Calls Kate Middleton Ugly
— Ace

Eh, I don't care about Kate Middleton, and I certainly don't care about this of a writer, but (redacted, here's the link).

I've actually now skimmed the offending article, which I only previously saw quoted, and I think it's the British tabloid media making a scandal out of nothing.

The essay is a sharp-tongued critique on the image-making apparatus of the royal family (and royals through history) as well as the image-making apparatus of courtiers and media. It's really not about Kate Middleton specifically, though that is a jumping off point for the essay.

Apologies, story retracted, sorry I posted this without reading the essay, which can be found here.

Note the essay is still negative and critical; and yes, she does bring up a lot of Stepford Bride imagery regarding Middleton. But the object is not really Kate Middleton, nor her looks.

Again, not exactly.

It strikes me overall as a perfectly fair essay to write -- bitter and tart, sure, but completely in-the-bounds -- and not one which should be jumped up into some Crime Against the State.

55 From all accounts, Kate Middleton is a perfectly nice woman, who happens to have fallen in love with and married the future King of the United Kingdom. Some people in the UK resent this because they are anti-monarchists. Some fat lonely sweathogs resent this because Kate is easy on the eyes and has a pretty wonderful life.

57 And here are some previous winners and people shortlisted so you have heard of some of them. That was a spiteful thing of Ms. Mantel to say. Her books, however, have been quite well reviewed I am interested in the Tudor period but can't really stomach the idea of Cromwell as a hero-even with flaws so I won't be reading them.

59 On the one hand, I feel bad about her problems and respect her achievements. On the other hand, Kate has to be a public figure, which requires a certain level of plasticness. Plus she's hawt and her sister has a great ass. So I'm a wee, tiny bit conflicted. Also shallow.

84 The woman was unnecessarily venomous. But if you read what she said, she didn't call Kate ugly. At least not in the linked story. And I happen to agree with her points minus the venom. I don't care about the royals and I think monarchy is silly in this day and age (although "democracies" don't seem to be faring much better). But I'm not going to lose sleep over it or go into a rage. (Not that anyone cares what I think.) I guess she could have expressed her thoughts without attacking Kate, who never did anything to anyone and has had this role foisted on her. You will recall that she didn't immediately jump at the chance to be a princess and I think even broke up with William at some point.

88 And this is about the book that won-"Wolf Hall" Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell. Son of a brutal blacksmith, a political genius, a briber, a bully and a charmer, Cromwell has broken all the rules of a rigid society in his rise to power, and is prepared to break some more. Rising from the ashes of personal disaster - the loss of his young family and of Wolsley, his beloved patron - he picks his way deftly through a court where ‘man is wolf to man’. Pitting himself against parliament, the political establishment and the papacy, he is prepared to reshape England to his own and Henry’s desires. From one of our finest living writers, Wolf Hall is that very rare thing: a truly great English novel, one that explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion and suffering and courage.

111 I've always somewhat marveled how relatively uninteresting and unattractive women with an overblown sense of self-importance and, shall we say, over-indulgent lifestyle write tomes from mental institutions defining who is, and who isn't attractive.

It's as if they live in some world that's a creation of their own puny minds and they whimsically create their own version of Utopia, oddly based on their own interpretation of reality and social mores.

By the way, she threw stones at Kate first. So don't feel bad about throwing a few donkey punches. So to speak.

Mitosis? In which 2 identical copies are made from a single individual, both possessing the ability to further divide in the future? That would imply another erg in existence, and that erg might reproduce in the future to an exact copy of itself. For the love of all that is holy, and for the faith of anything close to evolutionary science, I have to believe erg is an anomalous  biological dead end to which neither God nor nature would tolerate additional copies.

I like the other sidebar story better, about the GM profits....

 

On the 'balance sheet' is somthing called 'Goodwill'... its a measurment of things like brand name recognition...

 

GM took a 27 BILLION hit on their 'Goodwill'.... by going bankrupt.... but what sad is that this is considered a Loss... and thus.... a Tax Writeoff.... so although GM says they have a few billion in profit (as Obama likes to tout)... they actualy had a REAL 3 Billion Loss... then a 27 Billion loss of Reputation... for which they get a 30 Billion PLUS tax writeoff.... which they will keep on the books...

 

Ergo... GM paid no Taxes last year.... and will not for years in the future... because of a voluntary hit to their own reputation...

 

I had no idea this was even Possible.... let alone LEGAL under our F'd up Tax law.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 19, 2013 04:58 PM (29+x5) Endometriosis is when the uterine lining begins growing outside the uterus. I believe the effect of the hysterectomy is to stop the hormonal stimulation of those cells so they stop growing. (Caveat -- I did not look this up to confirm accuracy.)

I'm not done with the book yet, but pretty close. As some of the above comments tip you, you have to be open to the idea that Cromwell wasn't the Prot Torquemada.

 

The title really is more characterizing the people around Henry than the doings at Wolf Hall--which were a little fucked up. And the book also has a cast list up front, which I know means I'll have to keep looking back to remind myself which pasty-faced suckup is which.

 

I guess not a full recco, but to keep next to the crapper? Sure. It is very well-written, give her that.

267 I think (constitutional) monarchy is just fine. It may be "irrational," but then, so are most of the things that sweeten life. Like sticking candles into cakes, singing a stupid song, making a wish, and blowing the candles out. Britain has a long history and the royal family line provides a unifying element that ties the present to the past. I like having the head of state and head of government be different. One is ceremonial, one is political. Especially in our modern age when everything is so politicized, it's nice to have a neutral figurehead to admire or to laugh at. And when that leader is born (chosen by pure chance) rather than elected, s/he doesn't represent any particular viewpoint.

Diana was also a stick figure, as Kate now is. Kate was slim but at a healthy weight before. Wonder if she's trying to be like Williams's mom. Pure speculation, sorry. But Kate is pretty still.

295 However, I am of the opinion that Middleton f***ed her way into status, rather like a Kardashian but regrettably without video. Being critical of that isn't the same as being envious.

"I saw Kate becoming a jointed doll on which certain rags are hung," Mantel said in a lecture at the British Museum in London earlier this month in which she spoke about her changing views about the princess.

"She was a shop-window mannequin, with no personality of her own, entirely defined by what she wore. These days she is a mother-to-be, and draped in another set of threadbare attributions."

No, that's envy right there, dressed it up in highfalutin' "look at what an intellectual I am" terms, because she can't admit to herself what a bitch she's being, but envy just the same.

I am of the opinion that your opinion is silly.  There probably hasn't been another woman on the planet whose background was more thoroughly examined than this young woman's.  They don't WANT another Diana. 

 

If she wasn't squeaky clean, she wouldn't be where she is. 

 

By all indications, she's a nice young lady.  Anyone suggesting otherwise without proof, including you and this troll, are merely guilty of useless envy.

She was hospitalized for severe "morning" (all day) sickness.  I wasn't hospitalized, but I lost close to ten lbs. the first trimester, and was already quite slender.  It was scary.  She'll gain more weight further into her second tri.

319 I want to make it clear that I agreed with her assessment of how the whole royalty thingie results in Kate being reduced to a breeder for the royal family and other superficial things. But there was no need to go overboard criticizing Kate herself, who seems to be a nice person. One can criticize royalty without making it person. And yes, I agree that her breeder attack may arise from bitterness about not being able to have kids. I too am childless and think I probably won't ever have kids although I would like to have some. But I'm not going to begrudge other women their celebration of childbearing. In fact I always get excited when someone I know gets pregnant. Because I think it is a beautiful thing.

Not saying that Ace isn't on the money about the proximate cause of Hilary Mantel's critique of Middleton (because it's pretty clear that he is), but there is another, underlying cause - the tremendous envy and resentment towards any type of success/fame/achievement/acclaim that is, and long has been, endemic in the U.K.

 

I suspect it's a legacy of the class system, but it's a very real and pernicious thing over there - and one of the reasons (besides absurd tax burdens) that so many Brit celebrities opt to relocate elsewhere.  It takes a bit of getting used to when one sees it - otherwise very personable and down-to-earth folks getting themselves worked up into a dark rage over one of their fellow Britons having a turn of good luck or attaining some rewarding goal, as if that somehow took something from them.  But it's there, just like the "reading" that goes on when one Brit meets another to determine their place in the social hierarchy and how they are consequently to be treated.

Uncle Leo: "She's alright." Kate's pretty. She's nice. I have no clue as to Mantel's politics, but IIRC she is a very good novelist. A Place Of Greater Safety was good. If she's nuts and a nasty person, she wouldn't be the first writer.

Hilary Mantels books are worth reading; but her looks would melt down a four hour Cialis erection.  OTOH Kate Middleton is a very nice looking lady; and her  younger sister Pippa has a posterior that drooling leering dirty old men in England (I know them--I'm just a drooling leering dirty old man here in the good ol' USA) think is the best ass in Christendom. 

 

So Hilary, I'll read your books--they're well worth reading. But as your opinions about how modern attractive women look, I'll repeat the advice the Italian women gave the Pope about contraception.  "You no playa da game, you no maka the rules!"
