Going through life as a "tall, slim, blonde" woman is harder than it looks, according to British columnist Samantha Brick, who has become the focus of criticism and ridicule for writing that her life as a beautiful woman has been especially difficult.
Brick, 41, published a column in the Daily Mail on Tuesday entitled, "'There are downsides to looking this pretty': Why women hate me for being beautiful."
Brick bemoaned having to go through life as a beautiful woman, constantly receiving free champagne and wine from suitors, flirting with male bosses, and angering female friends and co-workers with her looks.
Now Brick had become the center of a Twitter campaign aiming to take her down a few notches for her perceived vanity. Some of the jokes so far include: "James Blunt wrote You're Beautiful after he briefly caught sight of Samantha Brick in a crowded place."
"Samantha Brick was originally cast in the title role in Pretty Woman but Richard Gere vetoed it because she was too pretty."
