Woman dresses like grandma at red carpet event, blames others

Quote:Such a fate befell comedian Sarah Millican at last year's BAFTA Awards, when the Internet viciously attacked her red carpet look for being "disastrous" and "nana"-like. At first, the cruel commentary stung. But rather than stew in silence, Millican has decided to call out her haters in a brilliant essay for Radio Times that pinpoints the absurdity of a woman, yet again, being attacked for her appearance at an event meant to celebrate her completely unrelated accomplishments.

"I'm sorry," Millican writes. "I thought I had been invited to such an illustrious event because I am good at my job."

Naturally, rather than simply put on a nice dress, she wrote an essay about how the media judges women based on how they look.

She also blames the fact she is fat for her inability to find clothes that fit.

Quote:She also comments on how she found her John Lewis dress:

"Fancy expensive designer shops are out for me as I'm a size 18, sometimes 20, and I therefore do not count as a woman to them."

Also... short hair. Tuth was right.

Quote:While the messages Millican received hurt ...

"It was like a pin to my excitable red balloon. Literally thousands of messages from people criticising my appearance. I was fat and ugly as per usual. ... I cried. I cried in the car."

That hurt quickly turned to righteous anger:

"Why does it matter so much what I was wearing? ... I felt wonderful in that dress. And surely that's all that counts."

Proof that she does care what people think of her, and that feminism isn't about equality, but getting daddy men's approval. She could wear that dress all she wanted if she really didn't care what people think.

Quote:Millican, too, points out the inherent sexism of her trolling: "My husband wasn't asked who he was wearing, which disappointed him. Mainly because he was dying to tell ANYONE he was wearing an Asda tux."

There is so much wrong in that sentence. 1) It's not trolling. It's standards. 2) Why is he dressed up, but the woman invited is not? 3) Seems like it isn't sexism but that no one cared about her non-famous +1.

This annoys me, because it actually is a part of your job as an entertainer to dress up at red carpet events. If you were a banker, you'd have to wear a suit everyday, no questions asked. If you're an artist, you get to go to cool parties and style yourself up in creative ways. Show some gratitude, bitch.

RE: Woman dresses like grandma at red carpet event, blames others
No man is gonna care enough to hate on a ugly woman wearing ugly shit. Why dosn't she just keep it real and state the obvious that women are bloodsuckers to each other. It was women and gay men bashing her, and women and gay men likely don't care what dudes where, only females.

I have no idea whom the fuck this women, is nor do I care about her wack ugly self and dress. Literally, zero fucks given.

Women blame all their problems on the media when they consume the most of it and pump the most money into it. The media just gives the people what they want/need and they make money by feeding the vapid nature of women and trolling them.

Lastly, when did comedians get such thin skin? Their job is basically to be mico-critiqued at every step. Most would of flipped this into a joke, to the point even doing it purposely for laughs and continued on giving zero fucks. But no,this comedian breaks down into tears and starts questioning life. What a loser.

Here's her problem. Joan Rivers and Phyllis Diller excluded.

Maybe she should sort that gut and the bingo wings of hers before picking a dress. No excuse to be a fat harpy in todays age when you're in the limelight.
