The fashion show, complete with monkeys in miniature versions of the outfits! Rosalind Russell knitting! Rosalind Russell doing just about anything! What's not to love?), does nothing to endear her to me. I love how she's always (rightly) slagging off the Mail, as in that piece, without saying that she had a column for the Mail on Sunday for years during the '80s (where she fit right in, the reactionary old bag, and where she still would). Almost all her columns can be summed up like so: "Despite living in a vast mansion in Brighton, I am and always will be the most working-class person in the world. The Irish and all continental Europeans are stupid and funny. Romanies are all thieves and beggars. Muslims are all terrorists. I am the greatest writer ever. I was once the most gorgeous woman in the country. I am a genius and always right, even though I contradict myself constantly and am a huge hypocrite. In conclusion, hooray for me! The end." I do love the Burchill generator, though.
