    Anyone see the SINDOs glossy magazine today (sunday) with herself on the cover? The article written by her, no less, - the poster girl for the excesses of the Celtic tiger - was written without a shred of irony. is there something wrong with this woman? Has her powerful Arts educated UCD brain bee replaced with yoghurt? Does she really feel a flush or moral rectitude when aligning herself with the working classes? Does her new found admiration for the virtues of hard work, really have parallels into the modelling industry?

    When will Ireland sink beneath the waves, so no one can remember we ever existed?

    She's a ride with a college degree. I'd say you could replace it with yoghurt, baked beans, cocaine etc... and neither she nor anyone else would give a fiddlers fart.
    Does she really feel a flush or moral rectitude when aligning herself with the working classes? Does her new found admiration for the virtues of hard work, really haver parallels into the modelling industry?

    She grew up in a generation that knew nothing else. She was also a complete babe who ended up winning Ms.World (or was it Universe?) and her dad was one of Ireland's biggest celebrities. I'd say she's suprisingly well-adjusted tbh.
    When will Ireland sink beneath the waves, so no one can remember we ever existed?

    As a whole this is a very strange little rant, but that last question takes the biscuit.

    True, but newspapers as a general rule don't let people with condiments for brains write articles. Ties back to your earlier comment i suppose. You sir, are a genius.

    i almost choked when i saw this and then reading it all i kept thinking is who the **** cares what she thinks she won a beauty pageant she is decent looking fair play since when does this mean she should be commenting on life

    she is like the hills or that show jersey shore show sometimes its nice to look at and entertaining but when they start expressing their opinion like its important they need to be put back in their place

    if she ever does or says anything worth while ill be less harsh

    I didn't even read the article, the pictures were enough to discourage me.

    TBH, don't care what she thinks, says or does. She's a ride, famous etc... but she'll hit her thirties, modelling jobs will dry up for her and she'll end up on RTÉ with a programme.
    OP, there's more to this toilet of a country than models in the SINDO.

    Well it's a shíte paper that sells to a certain audience. But I wouldn't get upset about her, she hasn't done anything wrong, she's been asked to model and she's been asked to write and she's done both.
    We all have to earn a crust and she hasn't hurt anyone. Don't see what the problem is with her

    I'm not upset, I just find the complete lack of irony or self awareness to be hilarious. I had a chuckle at it today.

    Woah! (That's English for stop a horse)

    Who said ANYTHING about the Sindo magazine being a ''newspaper''?

    The Sindo has a long long history of doing such. Be they condiments, drugs. veiled racism or middle-class bigotry, the Sindo strives to find guest journalists who have ANYTHING in their heads besides a brain.
    Ties back to your earlier comment i suppose.

    For some reason this was in the house today for the first time in about a year. Saw her smug face on the cover of that stupid "magazine"- such utter crap. Needless to say I did not read the article. Who really gives a flying f*ck what her opinion on the state of the country is. :mad:

    Rosanna Repents!.........Me arse!

    Quote from her article " I believe that my generation has more or less silently adapted to recession etiquette" Give me an F'in break!!

    Stars' free ride comes to an end as they lose their luxury car deals

    a staff member at Audi has confirmed that in recent months the company has had to ask top model Rosanna Davison for her sexy Audi TT convertible back.

    The stunning brunette was told that that the garage "needed to sell the convertible on" and instead had to downgrade it to a "cheaper vehicle".

    The keys of the Audi TT were taken from the model and an Audi A3 Cabriolet was given to her instead.

    This is March of this year^

    Also Her recent scumbag party?

    Not being a smartarse but if you didn't read it how do you know it was utter crap and that she is smug?

    Fact is if someone offered you x amount of money to write an article you'd do it. The only thing that annoys me about anyones writings is when they patronise or condescend, she did neither. She just wrote about what she was asked to. And got paid. I would love to do the same.

    I admit that I picked up this "magazine" and flicked through it, tired, sunburnt and after a heavy lunch.

    Now, I have no medical training apart from the usual work related first aid, and a short stint as a Lifeguard, but I believe that the Sindo causes mild to severe neurological impairment, akin to brain damage or temporary loss of faculties - upon browsing the magazine, I felt an urge to buy property and write my own article entitled "Why You Should All Do Something or Other because we tell you to"

    fortunately, I stopped reading the magazine, and my prognosis for recovery is good.

    TBH, I actually think she deserves some credit for trying to build a career that doesn't finish once some people think she's too old. She's also written bits with The Dubliner and elsewhere - if editors want to print her, fair enough, and writing is more difficult than smiling while someone takes a picture.

    That article is pants, though.

    The first sounds like a fascist newspaper and the second sounds like a porn star, though I'm aware that it's probably not going to be as exciting as it sounds.
