Great Castrating Skankky

These days the formerly tit-flashing nude-romping flash-it-all-on-screen actress, who was fortunate enough to bed our Vincent and reproduce with him, no longer bares her all on screen so much as uses her voice in radio broadcasts. In the last year or so she has narrated some programmes, and a couple of weeks ago she was one of the named (and often mispronounced!) stars of BBC Radio 4's week-long dramatisation of the late Vasily Grossman's novel Life and Fate, an almost-lost novel from the Soviet era. Kenneth Branagh and David Tennant co-starred.
Now, this week, she is reading the Book of the Week, The Castrato and his Wife, by Helen Berry. Much of the first episode on Monday involved her narrating the process of castrating young boys to preserve their voices. She didn't bat an audible eyelid.
Maybe castrating men is what she's all about. Perhaps that's why, after all this time, she still slags off our Vincent. Luckily he's too much of a man for her to have any effect.

    Personally, methinks she doth 'protest too much' about Vincent; in other words, she still has it bad for him!

  2. Who wouldn't? Have it bad for Vincent that is. I've read the stories and it really is sad that she hasn't been able to move on. My motto--if you've been burnt by love, cry a little, mourn your loss, then suck it up and move on.

  3. Completely agree with you ladies. She never got over him, and the more she talks about him, the more the world realizes just how much she never got over him. Obviously, he's some kind of amazing MAN.

  4. Usually after all this time, people get over breakups. Obviously she's still hung up on him. I also think she's got psychological issues.

  5. Didn't she marry her cousin? Issues indeed.

  6. Very well, and sardonically, written Val! Your description of her really cracks me up. And I agree with you all too. GET OVER IT. Who hasn't had their heart broken? Um, only everyone! She needs therapy in a big way. The one thing that concerns me is how much their daughter has had to listen to her kvetching over the years. "your father this, your father that..."

  7. Vikeau, yes you are right, she did marry her cousin. And they had a son together. I mean, ew. Ew ew ew. There are some boundaries you just don't cross. Marrying a cousin or any relative is one of them.
