It’s funny how you sometimes see two people sitting side by side and they are a study in contrast. Today I was captioning a Parkinson show and first there was Sharon Osbourne, looking stunningly beautiful and admitting freely that she has had innumerable plastic surgeries done to her body because she is so insecure about her looks. She very honestly admits that she doesn’t seem to be able to respect the body that she has been given, to the extent that she had botox shots just before appearing on the interview. She was remarkably candid about that aspect of her life.
And then came in model Sophie Dahl, young, drop-dead gorgeous and the first thing she says is that she doesn’t think she is beautiful. With a practiced smile, an affected accent and carefully upturned lips, she says she was a deeply ugly child and she doesn’t know that she is beautiful now either. So, here’s a girl who thought she was ugly and so decided to become a model. How much would you lie to seem modest? I wonder what Osbourne was thinking just then.
