She started modelling her look on Barbie when she was 15.

Charlotte Poole became so obsessed, she dressed herself in figure-hugging corsets, dyed her hair platinum blonde and even enhanced her breasts to a curvy 34F.

The style prompted a string of cruel comments from women who saw her as nothing more than a ?brainless bimbo?.

But Miss Poole is living proof that appearances can be very deceptive.

Rather than being the ?stupid airhead? she is often labelled, she has a law degree and masters with distinction.

The 22-year-old, who has spent thousands on her looks over the years, said: ?If I?m out with a corset on I will get attention from people saying horrible things to me as you would expect, saying I?m stupid or a slag. But because I know I?m not it makes me laugh.

?People are pretty surprised when they find out that I have a masters degree.

'I don?t make a point in telling people but if they find out it?s so funny to see their reaction.?

The graduate actually had her breast implants within two weeks of beginning her BA in law and psychology.

Since then she has gone on to attain a masters in fashion marketing, also from Nottingham University, and secure a high-flying job as a social media coordinator for a fashion company.

Miss Poole, who also boasts 12 GCSEs and 3 A Levels on her CV, began modelling herself on Barbie because she was insecure about her own looks. :pinch:

I was about to say...if I see one single picture of reese withoutherspoon, I'll gladly jump out in front of traffic. No, I didn't read the article. I hate Reese that much. Literally. Wanna kill me? Get Fleese Tetherball to rape me. I'd kill myself before I let that happen, lol!

Heh, I think it's kind of cool. It's not my thing, but if she feels sexy that way, who are we to judge? She doesn't look unhealthily thin or anything that would normally make me cringe.

I personally *love* Dita von Teese and like to wear things that make me look/feel kind of like her. It's unfortunate that people are so shallow they can't get past physical appearances and see people for who they really are. The way a person chooses to look is just one small facet of their overall person.

If she's happy with the way she looks, she's miles ahead of most people.

People need to also apply this type of thinking to themselves, and be happy with who they are and how they look without thinking they need to cover up their natural appearance.

Its clear from the article that she started doing this because she was concerned with how she looked:

"I worried about the way I looked so I started wearing make-up and dressing up. I couldn?t even go to the corner shop without wearing full make-up and it just went on from there."

That really isn't miles ahead of most people. She

Which didn't really need to even be said, imo. In general I think its naive to think that any desire to look/feel sexy isn't based on insecurity. It doesn't mean you can't be smart, but it doesn't make it good, either.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
    • Wonder how much of this it related to them using something like Mythos. It seems everybody is releasing large numbers of updates in the last few weeks.
