By day, Rose is saintly, serene, kind to man and beast, virtually spreading sweetness and light wherever she goes with a bloody great trowel. By night, however – she is arrogant, vain, critical and generally full of shit, a right cow actually. In this blog, she continues to fight the good fight against consistency, boredom, political correctness and especially facts – and to stand up for the right of all women to have and enjoy multiple personalities (at least, in their dreams).
Oh, and she isn’t beautiful. That’s a line from Muriel’s Wedding.
However she DOES have a PhD in relationship advice from Harvard. If you would like to read Rose’s advice to the lovelorn (using examples from her own steamy experiences) see Romancing with Rose.
On the other hand, if you just want to talk to Rose or be on her Facebook page (go on, she doesn’t have nearly enough Friends!), you can email her at englishrose659@hotmail.com or befriend her on her Facebook page, Livinginfairyland.
Love
Rose
Glad I found your blog on the Listful Thinking blog comments! I totally share your mentality of wishing more people would celebrate their failures (aka – you should check out my “about” page…)
Wow Rose, I like what I see.
Came here on the rebound from somewhere else. *wink*
Thanks for reading my post! I like your blog too – you sure have a good time! Rose
Hello there!
I just nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award.
I just realised you quoted Muriel’s Wedding above, which has made me like you even more! Yay!

Thank you very much! As to liking, ditto – I’m glad you recognised it. Great film, isn’t it! It’s my bedtime now and I don’t know what the OLBA is, but I am VERY flattered! I feel I should nominate people too, I’ve read so many good blogs, but I’m not quite that proficient yet..
Hello!
I have nominated you for the Sunshine Blogger Award, details of which can be found on my site: http://carrierubin.com/2012/02/13/the-liebster-who-inspiringly-straddled-the-sunshine/
As you can see from my rather tongue-in-cheek post, I completely understand if you choose not to participate. I only pass it on as a means of letting you know I really enjoy your blog!
Have a great day!
Carrie
You have a nice blog, Thank you for stopping by mine……..
I will be coming back soon 
Thanks for coming by my blog. I’ve been enjoying looking around here. I’ll be back.
Thanks JAnet! See you round then!
you’re smart. i like that. thanx for stopping by my blog. continue…
Thanks, likewise, I love your stuff! But hey, I’m not smart, I’m intelligent. And way, WAY up my own arse, as you can see!
Hey Beautiful Rose, I know you have recieved any an award, but as you are one of my fav blogs ever, i’m launching another your way…I’ve nominated you for the Verstaile Blogger Award, Dawny
http://littlebeut333.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/oh-my-gaaaawd-an-actual-award/#more-2510
Thanks so much, Dawny! I’ll get going on the forwarding! xxx
Thank you for liking a post on my blog.
And thanks ditto!
Lovely “About” page. Makes mine seem lame in comparison ! And you have “multiple personalities” as well.
Awesome.
And I am glad you liked my post.
I liked your whole blog! And thanks for your comment – having multiple personalities is kind of fun.
Well, you rock!
Like you, I fought a great schizophrenic struggle between good and evil. I was constantly torn between right and wrong.
However, I’m proud to say I overcame it… I let evil win.
That’s what YOU think. But Good has a cunning plan. It disguises itself as Evil and then lets you THINK it won. Ha ha! (just kidding – no, you go for it!).
Went to click on your Facebook…it is not there…I am disappoint
It isn’t? But your like showed up there! Anyway thanks so much – I love it when people like me! And I love your blog name!
Yeah I scrolled to the very bottom and found a link that worked!
Thank you, it came to me the day of my first post!
Farts, like most things to do with the rear end, are cause for laughter . . . . . haven’t worked out why, yet, Rose!
PhD eh? You won’t learn what’s in my writings at any Earthly university
Yeah, dunno why! Dogs don’t think they’re funny. But then, they don’t think they’re smelly either.
Any unearthly one, then?
I have often pointed out, with reference to animals, that when a cow in the field farts all the others do not lift their heads and say, ‘WHO did that?’
Maybe they do! But we just don’t know what all the mooing is about..
ye, OK!!
VERY FUNNY!
This looks like a really fun site, and with such a lovely banner pic. Thanks for checking out my blog.
Thank you! The banner pic is actually from my trip to Slovenia – it’s a photo I took myself! Da DA!

True!! It’s a must to have multiple personalities! How else would we survive this mad mad world!
EXACTLY!
Very nice to “meet” you, Rose…quite an interesting, “About” page
I enjoyed it!
anne
Thank you Anne – very nice to meet you too!
You have a wonderful blog. Thank you for liking mine, too. Your prose are refreshing.
Thank you very much! likewise!
I’ve given you the Sunshine Award. Unfortunately I just realised, I am not the first one. You have it already. Ah well, would be nice if you checked out my acceptance speech on http://dedepuppets.com/2012/05/31/sunshine-award/
That’s alright, I don’t mind multiples! Thank you very much indeed! And yes I will check out your acceptance speech!! And I’ll try to pass the award on to people who haven’t got one.
Hey what year did you graduate from Harvard?? Just wondering because I graduated in 1996!
Who me? I didn’t, I graduated from the Australian National University. I think that was a joke. But wow, you must be pretty bright to go there (let alone graduate!).
“LOL”…Thanks you!!
I’ve just nominated you for the Genuine Blog Award and the Reader Appreciation Award as a thanks for all your visits, likes, and comments. The information can be found here: http://postcardfiction.com/2012/06/07/thursday-thanks/. Don’t feel obliged to participate, it’s just my way of saying thanks
Thanks very much indeed, Janet! much appreciated and will get on to it soon!
Thank you for liking my post.
Renee
You don’t have to thank me – I genuinely like it, a lot! Happy blogging, Renee!
I loved watching Muriel’s Wedding – it was SO choice. I recently sent a guy in the US a Kath n Kim video (cheap going, at my local vid store) & he LOVED it. True!! He said he hadn’t even bothered to watch the US version “because us Yanks are always remaking & commercialising) – but he loved the actual. If you want, visit ‘The Heretic’ ( I THINK he’s in my blog roll), & ask him to see his private vid on Vimeo about his reaction to Kath n Kim. I don’t know why he made it private, but anyways, it’s good to watch.
ANY hooooooo you had me at ‘Muriel’s Wedding’! Like your ‘about’. Didn’t imagine you sweet/not. And I’m glad you’re still ‘But I’m Beautiful’ – or maybe I’ve clicked an old link. Anyway, won’t drivel…
Harvard btw ? Excellent shit. Relationships…. hmm. Do you mind me saying, but I think my cat is angry at me….. ??
!
It was a great movie wasn’t it. Ok I’ll see if I can find The HEretic. I heard the US Kath and Kim was pretty woeful. Yes, still Butimbeautiful. I haven’t really been anywhere near Harvard, sadly. But hey – I can give crappy advice as well as the next blogger! Sorry to hear your cat is annoyed – dinner time perhaps?
A little something for you can be found here:

I love your blog. I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award and linked to your blog. http://www.mysticcircle.wordpress.com/2012/06/16/versatile-blogger-award
thank you very much, that is so kind of you! I’ll link back to yours – it just sometimes takes me a while to do the needed things! But very soon!! And thanks again.
An animal loving, multiple personality basket-case. Great! I get the feeling I’m going to enjoy following your site.
I hope so!
I have nominated you for the Sunshine Award. Thank you for following me. You do not need to accept it if you do not want to, but if you don’t, know how much I appreciate your support. If you do want to accept it go to this page to see what you have to do.(http://wp.me/p2eEip-uh) Thanks again!
Love your blog, wish I too could just be my true self. I have haters who scrutinise my blog and pounce on anything they want to twist to cause more family division and strife on the in law side. They mean shit to me but my hubby doesn’t. Wouldn’t be surprised if this comment made it to an email and a phone call followed.
REally? that’s awful. I’d hate it if everything on my blog was scrutinised (actually maybe it is, my ex boyfriend and sisters all read my blog). And that fact does make a little careful about some things. There’s not a lot of point having a blog that you can’t be honest on. Have you thought about something password protected? At least for some posts.
Thanks for visiting as you led me back here! Your writing is incredibly funny, Rose. I will be back especially when I need a mean dose of humor!
Thank you so much, that’s very kind!
