and the juxtaposition with Saluki's rather nice post immediately previous makes it look all the more berk-ish

Aw, feels sad that a lady full of life felt she had to try to stay young and ended up like that.

There's a world of difference between poking a bit of fun at someone's odd hairstyle and that other post
Me, me, me, me, me please sir!
Those nip and tucks are fine for now Rocky, but you wait a few years. Mark my words.
There is, a much better obituary, not hard really, it is the Daily Mail we're comparing it too, of María del Rosario Cayetana Paloma Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Fernanda Teresa Francisca de Paula Lourdes Antonia Josefa Fausta Rita Castor Dorotea Santa Esperanza Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva Falcó y Gurtubay, here

She reminds me of that very excellent poem, When I am old.
http://www.barbados.org/poetry/wheniam.htm
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
And I shall spend my pension
on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals,
and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,
And run my stick along the public railings,
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens,
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat,
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go,
Or only bread and pickle for a week,
And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats
and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
And pay our rent and not swear in the street,
And set a good example for the children.
We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me
are not too shocked and surprised,
When suddenly I am old
and start to wear purple!
But hey in the meantime we can all follow the Daily Mail's agenda of dumbed down judgement to make us all feel we're better somehow.
