Several years ago, I wrote a column praising a sweet and talented Welsh girl named Charlotte Church. A singer of arias and sacred songs, she possessed an uncommon sense of modesty and decorum in the skin-baring age of Britney Spears. Charlotte had the face and voice of an angel. Her signature piece was "Pie Jesu" (Blessed Jesus). Her favorite keepsake was a rosary blessed by the pope.
Or so she said at the time. Now, alas, the once-charming Charlotte is the new face of skankdom. And you won't believe what she's saying about the pope.
The 20-year-old entertainer has rebelled against the wholesome image that brought her fame, fortune and worldwide respect as a rare role model for young girls. She has traded in "Pie Jesu" for "Crazy Chick" a lousy pop anthem even Ashlee Simpson wouldn't be caught performing. Charlotte's gone from pure-hearted to pure crap. These days, she drinks, she smokes, she curses, she fights, she parties, and she tries very, very hard to shock and offend like a trashier Lindsay Lohan, only with better pipes.
Charlotte has a new talk show in England, where she plays a profanity-spewing hostess who is part Rosie O'Donnell, part Keith Olbermann (she has bashed President Bush as "clueless" and a "twat") and completely unhinged. The pilot episode featured Charlotte calling Pope Benedict XVI a Nazi, dressing as a nun and pretending to hallucinate while eating communion wafers imprinted with smiley faces (symbolizing the drug Ecstasy). The Catholic News Service reported last month that the pilot also showed Church smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary to reveal a can of fortified wine. To top off her anti-Catholic snit, she stuck chewing gum on a statue of the child Jesus.

Hey, and she's a Kentucky woman, Toby. You know what Neil Diamond said about them. :-)
That's it. If the Divine Intervention is there it will happen. If it isn't, well the relationship probably won't work out anyway.
All men say that want a nice girl, one who hasn't slept around, has great values, etc. but I don't believe it. Most men will gravitate directly to the loud, half-dressed gals because they are more "fun". I don't think men (in general) want a nice girl; they want to have a good time.
"...good girl in public, real bad girl in private,..."
FYI that's what most of us girls were taught long ago by our wise mothers: "Be a lady in the parlor, Betty Crocker in the kitchen, and a 'very, very bad girl' in the bedroom." Works for most of us.
I'm not sure how or where to meet someone! Any suggestions? If you don't hang out at bars, and you don't have mutual friends, it just might be impossible!
am I the only one thats happy about this...
Yep.
Julia Child reportedly referred to the 3 F's that make a good marriage. Two were food and flattery.
So turn off the TV, ignore popular movies and view only classics, no video games, no popular music, buy Breyer horses instead of Barbie dolls, visit science museums, get involved in sports, limit time with peers and increase time with family, homeschool, be a good role model for your kids, have friends of your own who are good role models, and you will have no problems.
Got that right.
Musically, she is. It's very sad that the rest has rotted so quickly.
Try going to Home Depot. You'll meet women there who aren't feminist and yet do their own "honey dews." OR, try going to a cooking school. Lot of women there who are honing their skills to get an apreciative man..."the way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
Revolting and sad.
Good point
Loved Julia. Actually there are four f's. Add fishing and/or fly tying. Women like that are----priceless.
There's a few of those around.
