… is that she is anything but too pretty. When I first saw read the caption of her being too pretty to work and I saw the picture, first thing I thought was, not with those eyebrows and wrinkles. If I had to guess her age, I could have never thought of 33. Am I the only one who thinks she looks more like 53 than 33? She has more wrinkles and bags under her eyes than my mom does (and she’s actually older than 33. Shocker, I know).
I did a quick break down — for your reading pleasure, of course. I even put in the equivalent in dollars and naira. Also for your reading pleasure.
Expenses (monthly) |
Laura Fernee’s life while working | Laura Fernee’s life while being too pretty to work |
Rent | We don’t know | £2,000 / $3,034.20 / N476,338 |
Designer clothes & handbags | Who knows? | £1,700 / $2,579.07 / N404,746 |
Hair cuts | Huh? | £700 / $1,061.97 / N166,577 |
Socializing | With who? | £1,000 / $1,057 / N165, 949 |
Gym (weekly) | *yawn* | £80 / $121.07 / N18,997 |
Total | ?????? | £5,480 / $8,313.71 / N1,305,141 |
And this list only calculates the things that were listed in the article. I’m sure there are other things like food, vacations, beauty items, and more. Since her parents are so well off, I don’t think she needed to get a job (if she really didn’t want to work and her parents were obviously willing to take care of her), but what I don’t understand is this too pretty thing.
I think maybe she only did it to gain some publicity because in the world we live in, no publicity is bad publicity, especially since she’s writing a book about being too pretty too work. Fact is, when the book comes out, a lot of us will already know who she is because people like Daily Mail (and me) have written about her.
So what Lil Miss Too-Pretty-To-Work is telling us (and expects us to believe) is that this face we are seeing right now – which seems to have at least three heavy coats of pancake – (also known as foundation by people less exposed) is the reason why too many men are hitting on her and too many women are jealous of her? And is consequently also the reason she has quit her job?
Okay. I’m getting her.
P.S. For all the money that Laura spends, she should be able to afford a make up artist to do her brows. And while she’s at it, a good-fitting bra will be nice, too.
MsDawari says
Looooooooooooooooooooool I’ve been waiting for you.
I think she found it easier to live off her parents. Is the £30,000 per month or per annum? Cos if she quit a £30,000 per annum job, it means she was living on about £2,500 per month, and her total expenses now that she’s not working is £5,480 per month which is a bit over double.
I want to assume she’s talking about £30,000 per month… problem is some people will still buy her book and follow in her footsteps cos if she’s talking about leaving gifts on her desk and guys constantly asking her out on dates, then a thousand other women should have quit their jobs by now.
Problem is she’s not even that pretty; she looks way older than her age and her brows, damn girl, get yourself a truthful mirror!
Vera Ezimora says
Ms. Dawari, I don’t think it’s per month oh. I think it’s annual. Whatever the case may be, I don’t know why she cannot just say she wants to live off her parents because like I said, she’s not the first person to do it. So kini big deal? And lol at waiting for me. Tehehehe. I have become very transparent, huh?
Pendo says
It would have just been easier to say she doesn’t feel like working and wants live off her parents money which they inherited from her granddad so I guess she feels a sense of entitlement to the money. As for her age I honestly thought she was 45! When I was around 26/27 we got an oyinbo female manager in one of the departments who I thought was around 34 and I was being generous ooo she looked way older only to see her personnel file since I worked in HR and had access only to find out that babes was 24 going on 25! Thank God black don’t crack! I have mentioned here before how people always think I am 3-4 years younger than I actually am!
Vera Ezimora says
Pendo, I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees that she looks way older. I was shocked to see she’s 33. 33?????????????????? Wow. Like you rightly said, it would have been easier to just say she wanted a piece of grand daddy’s money.
And yes ooo! Glad that black don’t crack.
Ola says
Nawa oh!!! I have never heard of this kind stupidity before. Like you said, she clearly look older than 33 but since when did 33 become too “old” to work and the face that needs anti-aging things become too “pretty” to work? Wonders shall never end is what I can say.
Vera Ezimora says
That’s why I said that with all the money she has, she should be investing in some kind of anti aging regimen (and better make up) because this her face is very, very misleading.

Lol. Yeye woman.
Dalu says
Some people are actually prettier in real life than in pictures, so let’s give her d reason of doubt hehheheeeee!!!
Vera Ezimora says
Dalu, you sef you’re laughing as you’re writing this, so this has automatically cancelled the seriousness of your comment. Lol. Meanwhile, I don’t think she’s not pretty though. I think she’s pretty, but definitely not too pretty.
Manny says
this is the funniest thing I’ve read all year. to think that she is 33???/
Vera Ezimora says
Well, according to Mark who also commented after you, she’s actually NOT 33. And I find that to be more believable because she does not look anything like 33.
Evee Black says
She should also get a dentist, her teeth needs to be cleaned. She is not serious
Vera Ezimora says
Loool. There seems to be a lot she needs to do with all that money. I bet you she won’t.
Mark says
Laura Fernee (maiden name Laura Elbury) is a fantasist. She is not 33. She was 40 last Christmas. I know because my sister was at University with her. She married a bloke called Mark and they lived in Ipswich for a while. She is seriously a bizarre-o.
Vera Ezimora says
You know, Mark, that does actually make perfect sense because I don’t think I have ever seen a 33 year old (alleged) that looks this much older than 33.
Mark says
I really dont know how she expected to go on national TV and in the press and lie about her age.
Vera Ezimora says
Yeah. Totally doesn’t make sense that she’d lie on national TV. In this day and age, it is very difficult – if not impossible – to get away with lying on TV.
