Don't bother if you are not a celebrity.

Two back to back pieces in the news bulletin this morning brings out the perfect mood and state of our current society. It’s an interesting snapshot reminder of how far we have come….. And what a distance it is.
A woman who had been stalked for seven years and her life totally dictated by this lunatic won the case against her stalker (well, if you call that winning that is). The stalker gets a whole five months in lock up. Absolutely fitting, for the slow process of terrifying this young girl who will probably take longer than seven years to trust anyone on the street.
But, to cheer you up let me inform you that the posh fashion magazine InStyle was celebrating its birthday. And in great style, it was the red carpet event to kill for. All the famous dresses worn by some movie stars could be purchased at the auction (of course CSR was in place and the money being donated to charities etc etc etc …. You get the point). But, allegedly these frocks were sooo ridiculously expensive that they each had a LIVE bodyguard to guard it all times.
So, we have a young girl who is stalked for years and no protection was or is available to her, even though we make this farce of calling experts on our news programs to discuss the psychological implications of stalking. But, the dress worn by Julia Roberts or what’s that bond girl’s name …Halle Berry should be protected by tough looking huge guys, just in case a size 6 starlet runs away with one of them. Those are the only ones that will perhaps fit into those frocks.
