Plum Sykes...come on. It's a frigging picket line! How self-absorbed do you have to be to think that you'll only make 'friends' if you're wearing a super outfit? And what's with declining the plastic mac in case it ruins her look? Honestly, get a clue. You have to wonder if the other writers read this stuff and feel tempted to give her a slap.
(Although her outfit did sound super-cute...)

I've always suspected Plum Sykes was retarded, and this article just proves it. Really, Plum. Get a freaking grip.

The sub-title should read "The semiotics of self-absorption." Although I'm surprised she event knows what that word means! -the DCGF

Pfft. I'm never glumly resigned about anything when it comes to my Burberry.

I bet the burberry trench is the one she wrote about having made in Vogue several years back. I was fascinated with the idea of having my name embroidered inside my coat like hers.
I have the memory of an elephant ;-)
