I grew up reading Mills and Boons. I don’t know why I consumed those pamphlets wit such Gusto. I read my first M&B in class 5. An aunt left a Copy lying bout carelessly and I found. And boy did I find. I was hooked, love at first read. So you can imagine what a screwed up teenager/adolescence I was. I was a mini failure at secondary school I really could not be bothered with inter science nay what happened to M&B’. I was a major supplier and knew all the oda suppliers we had a network that im sure Al Capone can’t top. (The evil books were illegal)
I quit reading the ‘evil books’ in 100 level but my mind was all ready messed up. im still paying the price. I had no boyfriend in sec school coz while my reasonable mates were reading the babysitters club I was reading baby boom. I.e. I wanted a rich boy so I shunned all me toasters and opted for a non existent prince charming.
I was a day dreamer who believed in the perfect life no worries evri thin is meant to be rosy etc
University was the same I was looking for that tall dark/or lite handsome rich dude. I had fantasized that he would probably be my boss. I would go for a holiday Job and he would fall hopelessly in love with me. INDEED. Did I even/ever have a holiday job?
I got disillusioned when by final year almost all my friends got hooked and me? Well I wont be writing this if all was well.
Now I am a working class single woman of 27 almost 28(only positive thing in a way). Yes the rich guys eventually came but they all married. Are they tall dark and handsome? No. they are short bleached men having a mid live crisis and most importantly someone’s husband. And now that I am working and “independent” I can’t settle for someone earning less than me.
In conclusion do I have a case against Mills and Boons coz I intend to sue? Any lawyers out there?

lmao unfortunbately u no fit sue.
but i must say i went through that too as a child. I was close with my siseters and being the flirtatious, attractive highesteemed felames that they are, they (Dola, Fierce, Aqua) instilled this belief in me that i was (am?) better than boys my age, and men who arent intelligent/abtitious/"classy".
COnsequently, i started dating older, men with careers, at a young age. I stayed far from men my age and most of them were intimidated by me, some thought i was silly (they'd laugh at my silliness. they thought it was silly that i thought myself better than them), others simply respected me.
Either way, i say...
if you can sue Boons and the likes, maybe i should sue my sisters.lol
oh and about short bleached(eww) men, you're not over reacting in their aspect. You sound to me like you deserve better.
anyway, as you can see i like to ramble. this is almost as long as a damn post.
take care lol
Call me a romantic but I still believe in happy ever afters, there are so many stories out there, I just witnessed one recently so no dont sue just believe, it'll happen.
I am with you on this...lets all go sueing love...they are the cause of my being single as well...my first sexual experience was horrible because of them,when I didnt see the stars I started shouting at the guy and hated him...
Happy ever after????
Is that before you find out he has a wife and kids outside the country?
Or till you find out he tried to shagg your best friend..
Or when he tells you (after a million shaggs) that he doesn't think the relationship can work...
Infact don't make me hate them oh cos I just saw a cute one...Oh me gosh I need to catch his eyes...byyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeee.
I was and still am a Danielle Steel novel reader. All her novels always have an happy ending, despite some of them being teary at d beginning.

M & B are crazy, wish i had a previous tutorials on the content b4 i started reading them.
it got me messed up big time.
Do you know i still act on them?(quit reading them like 5 years ago) i mean when i see a guy i start getting ideas ...will he see his cindarella in moi?
...Will he propose on our first date?
...Will he kiss me senseless?

hahaha, i did the same consumed mills and boon in class 5 then got bored,, i could rewrite the stories word for word... and starting writing some me self and not even knowing how people made love, i just duplicated what i read... thanks for the tip, have done some on ma new blog and thanks for passing by...
this was such a funny post
i love the blog
which cute guy is that again...babes it must have ended before it started cos I am extremely single lol..how have u been?
Sweetie, you no fit sue o! I wish we could because M&B's messed so many teenagers up. I read them for a few years in secondary school too and would hide them under my pillow so my mum would not notice what i was reading, there was always a school book close by to cover up...
Thank God i got rescued quickly when i became born again, only read them for a few years and it took a few years to get them out of mysystem too so i can understand if you say they really affected, would beg any teenager i notice with them to give them up!
My dear, do't worry, your man will come, i believe you have the right mind set now and you're looking out for the right things, VERY soon!
looool girl no case lai lai, infact don't go to court and burn your rep o.
Girl bring your guards down and you'll get a good man, for now forget about him earning less than you because tommorrow might be better for him.
As for m&b, thank goodness i was never hooked.
