Finally a centrefold
So I finally make it to the centre spread of a newspaper and guess what? Instead of a picture of me in my old wedding dress displaying my grey hair and droning on about my new book they have turned me into a cartoon character.
In fact when I first saw the cartoon on the Daily Mail website I thought to myself ‘why have they drawn a picture of some random woman and put her in my article’? Mind you, it was 5am and Bea had decided that was a good time to get up to watch Zoe 101.
Then Rupert said; “That’s supposed to be you.” And now I look at it closer, it is. But with bigger hair and bigger tits, and in fact longer, thinner legs. What’s not to like? They’ve even turned my old wedding dress pink. How did they know that’s my favourite colour?
I think I will get used to life as a cartoon character. I am always smiling, my hair is constantly glossy (never grey), and I can’t empty the dishwasher or do the ironing.
And more crucially than all that, I will never age…..

I thought the cartoon was fabulous!

The cartoon is fabulous! There is one more thing to add to your list of tips for staying young, “Don’t sweat the small stuff; it’s all small stuff!” Works for me!
Mind you, you are obviously drinking something hallucinogenic so that might be it.
It’s a very good cartoon isn’t it..
Oh bum, I’ve just realised it’s a pot of face cream…..
I would be a bit worried about the lack of muscle definition in those calves though!
I am completely lost for words sufficient to pay my awed respect to your cartoon! Bravo!!!
