Errrmm

Joide Marsh - Shot to fame in the documentry 'Essex Wives'.
Lives on the estate of her posh parents in the town of Brentwood, Essex.
A former lap dancer, now just a complete slaper, stripping off whenevr possible for personal and professional reasons.
Currently headlining in major newspapers because of a recent rivialary occuring between fellowe slaper Jordan aka Miss Katy Price. Jodie has been dubbed as having 'droopy boobs' and 'a nose like a builders elbow' in recent spurts made by Jordan. She retailed by saying that she is natural and not made of 'plastic'. She is currently winning in the Sun's own Jordan-Jodie b*tch-ometer.
Last week we saw Jodie get more and more of her kit off (in the Sun...again!) as each day progressed, before finally showin her 'droopy boobs'.
And finally, she is renouned for waring the skimpiest of 'outfits' possible, basically making her look like trash.

and that includes my insight to a famous face from Essex.

Errrrmmm...does the Countess of (W)Essex count?!

Loup

Happy to help .

heehee Essex Girls...that topic will cause an uproar .

Ohhhh ok...The Countess of (W)Essex. Errrmmm real name Sophie Wessex, though techinally it should be Windsor, however, the title 'Wessex' was their chosen surname...its a thing these royals can do apparently.
Married a few years ago (anyne know what year? date?) to the youngest son born to our current queen...your majesty. Most people call her that, when really it should be Mrs. Elizabeth Windsor or Liz if you are related closely have have your head up her bottm sot to speak.
Sophie is a former PR, met Edward blah blah blah fell in love got married blah blah blah shortly after she fell pregnant with her 1st child. Unfortunately the pregnancy was etopic and the baby died. This deeply upset the couple who went through a rocky patch shortly after. Despite all the negative the Count and his Tess have recieved, the remain together, apparently going strong, a low public profile.
This may be because Sophie is pregnant or a second time, and wants not pressure on her during this pregnancy...good luck to her and the Count.
Why she married him I don't know, he is apparently a boring fart...and just...well a plain fart (can I use that word?! ). Anyways...she did and that's the story so far

Hi Loup & Xian

Do celebrity cats count?

The original Arthur, the white Kattomeat cat was apparently from Dunton in Essex.

A link for Lakeside if you want it

I posted this on another thread before I saw this one, sorry! Douglas Adams went to school in Essex - the same one that Noel Edmunds and Griff Rhys Jones went to. I think that Cliff Richard went to it to, but I'm not sure if that's right, my mind might be making it up.

hi xian..

Mina.. yep... saw your posting and replied.. that was definitely a great info about Douglas Adams being connected to Essex...
i did get confused a little when i previewed my posting and saw the subject title tho'.. hehe... but doesn't matter: _this_ kind of info is perfect for both threads...
does make this project _even_ more worthwile...

thanks for the other info as well...
