Jill has dropped the ball and is unable to articulate her thoughts on her great friend, Ellie.<br /><br />Would anyone else like to try ?<br /><br />What is the attraction. the magnet,if you will...that has made so many women "love' and "adore", or "cherish" this woman whom they really do not know? Why are they insistent on ignoring very, very bad behavior to keep the fairy-tale going?<br /><br />ANON:BINGO!<br />You have won the prize. This has been my theory. I think most readers are fascinated with Ellie because they themselves might like her lifestyle, love Paris, like antiques, etc,etc. Also her affiliation with Hollywood, as flimsy as it is, attractive French husband....and on. They feel if they admire her enough, that they can be , somewhat, a part of that too. Even to think of themselves as a personal friend of hers. To speak candidly about Ellie threatens and spoils that narrative for them.<br />So, attack the messenger people. If Ellie thinks and writes so badly about those close to her...you can only imagine what she might say about all of us little people in blogland.<br /><br />Hostess, I got a little giggle when I read that if you were closer, you would bring flowers and a casserole. Hostess, you are so kind....but don't you know from reading Ellie's blog, that she is quite the gormand, and is very particular. Unless your flowers were gorgeous and numerous from the best florist in Paris, she would probably laugh at your flowers, and she would look at, then sniff, your delicious casserole....and dump it in the trash. Then, she and David would laugh.<br /><br />Sorry Hostess, if you don't know this.... you were not reading her blog with much comprehension.

In fact I went back to the beginning, and have read every post. I was curious about the admiration for Ellie so many bloggers were expressing in their posts.<br />What I read was surprising.... and dismaying....but I'll admit it was was a trainwreck I could not stop reading. <br />Most perplexing to me is the admiration and the intimacy of emotion many women express in their fervent defense of this woman....as if they know her in a very personal way.... very curious. the "Me Too" syndrome comes to mind.<br />I seem to be the first person to step up and disagree....if there have been others...good for you. You have my respect. It is not easy. There is ridicule...there is intimidation.<br /><br />PS Hostess...could you just forward this comment to La Contessa and Ms. Bianchi , since you seem to be so tight with them, and please read my comments there about my identity you have speculated about.
