Its not exactly like that. As in Belle of the Ball. I take your point on the friends thing, however, she has admitted on many occasions of her own insecurity. She is 46 and sees herself as too old, fat, ugly. I constantly reassure her that she is none of these things (which she definitely is not). I know for a fact she doesn't say these things to get compliments. I also feel she gathers 'friends' on social media as a way of feeling wanted if you take my point. Not in a relationship sense, more generally. We all dress to impress, but i think she goes that bit further to try to make herself feel attractive in the way that the media trys to tell us we must be if you see what i mean (thin, pretty, young). Thing is, she looks great without make up.
