From what I have noted about women, especially those in my own personal life, this woman has just experienced the natural processes of what folk here have called "growing up".. (A temporary stage usually before they slide back into self-obsessiveness!)

She is my opinion, neither a better or worse person that she was before, she has reacted to her environment and is just as boring and up her own as a "yummy mummy" as she was as a "ladette".. Being a ladette is not something really dreadful, its not like she was rolling in the gutters of the streets dying of liver failure with her knickers round her ankles after a drug-fuelled 5 man train in a strip bar... She just had a few beers, like a "normal" woman of that age, kissed some geezer and got called a slut, hardly what i would define as "rock bottom" and hardly worth the exagerrated media.. But I guess that a womans "feelings" are far more important than sense of realism.. As for drinking enough to kill a rugby team, well, my son has been noted to guzzle a pint of vodka and 20 beers and alcopops in a night with no obvious ill effects, then play a good game the next morning (3 hours later) if you can drink, you can drink.. No need to alert the fucking media.. As John Cleese once said, "if I farted in Regents Street, it would be worth a few lines in the Daily Mirror"..

What made me roll my eyes was that she is failing to recognise the impact that being pregnant, having a child and being in a relationship with a man who cares for her has had on her..

She seems to think that a single moment, a single word, has changed her life..

Hmm! how very feminine! Women are forever seeking to recreate themselves based on minor events..

How many times have I heard women claim they are making "fresh starts"? Seems to be a permanent condition of perpetual "fresh starts" that women go through, forever attempting to throw away their history and re-invent themselves..

I say the natural events of motherhood etc are what really made her change, but of course such obvious things dont make good girlie media..

I look forward to the next predictable phase in the classic post-modern tarts life-cycle..

The divorce..

Once she has sprogged her quota and got bored of the bloke, no doubt another single life-changing little detail will prompt the next phase..

Once a slag, always a slag..

Its like alcoholism and drug addiction, there is always a tendancy to go striaght back there when the things that led you out are no longer working their magic..

Women seem highly likely to go through a "settled" phase, usually in their mid to late 20's.. Many slip back when they have done their pro-creative bit and hubby seems no longer to be suiting their changing "needs"..

Good luck to this "lady.."

Its like Alexie Sale once said about those folk who run to the media with similar stories..

"Look at me, I have stopped sticking my dick in the food liquidiser.. aren't I clever..?"

Stopping doing something stupid, does not make you suddenly smart..

The media obsession with elavating the lives of insignificant folk (usually female) to celebrity is making art of banality..

But it still does not hit me as being quite so relevant to the lives of other people as say, someone discovering a cure for cancer..

"Me Me" culture is alive and kicking.. And still seems to appeal to the predominatley female audience..
