WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL

The Woman's Own columnist has her say on frogs, witches and imperfections

It's sad to hear that Dawn French thinks she has 'flaws'

I had a dawning realisation today. And it's this: that women who are naturally extremely beautiful always tell us how much they love embracing their flaws.

I'm always suspicious that they've spelt the word 'flaws' wrong and mean 'floors' instead. As in, they love their new shag pile or kitchen tiles or something...

The latest to this band of gorgeous girls saying that perfection is impossible is someone I've had a total girl crush on since we got locked in the loos of a private members' club together back in the late 80s. It's a long story, but suffice to say we bonded over the fact we not only shared an interesting predicament, but also a name. A not very common one at that.
