A more common term for ladettes is 'fucking fat minging slapper".
And, yes, they are all bitches.
To my post: http://www.ubersite.com/cgi-bin/message_get.cgi?message=1061482218825026886

Hmmm... No, this, in England would be a classic "Geezer Bird" (or Manly Minger).
There appears to be some confusion so, lets clear this up:
Ladette
(also less frequent laddette)
/lædet/ noun (BrE, informal)
a young woman who behaves in a confident and noisy way, and who drinks alcohol and enjoys sport or other activities that are traditionally enjoyed by men:
Thats official (its in the dictionary).
Does it mention "must be fat and/or ugly"? Lets check again... erm, no - it doesn't does it? So what does this mean?
It doesnt say it in the description, but thats not really evidence to say that they aren't fat and minging.
With this in mind, I'd like to put forth a few pictures of confirmed famous ladettes to support my argument (and also give you something pretty to look at whilst you consider your verdict).
Firstly, confirmed Essex Girl Ladette Denise Van Outen:

and
Secondly, Sarah Cox from "The North":

Fat, ugly women? Hardly.
Stupid, dim witted bimbos? Erm, possibly, but doubtful. Both have been off the cuff presenters of fast paced television programmes which have made entertaining viewing. Use of sarcasm and quick thinking is evident which goes some way to show they have at least some intelligence.
Me personally, I like sex, but I dont shag about. I am not stupid enough to have 3 kids with different surnames... Ive got a job and can support myself. I brought my first home and paid off my mortgage in a year and six months. I drink, I smoke and I have in the past done some class A happy pills. I work in a mainly male environment but hold my own and have never been either passed over or given a promotion because of my breasts.
Because of all this Im automatically fat and ugly?
Well, Ive never had any trouble pulling, and Ive had my fair share of Gucci Handbag Blokes (thats a guy thats lovely on the outside but cant afford to fill up the inside) so that cant be right either.
Maybe we've all got the Ugly Duckling Syndrome (when a person is not that lovely as a child but grows up to be alright but had to develop a personality in the mean time). I dont know - its a possibility...
Maybe the men complaining out there need to stop going after the girls in pink fluff at the mall and start looking for dates at the football field or bar.
Whatever you do, and however you go about finding that special someone - I just hope you get to say what the great Homer said:
"She's like my best friend... and she lets me feel her boobs!"

I was thinking that Ladettes WERE in fact "fucking fat minging slapper(s)".
Thanks for clearing it up.

I dont normally tell people anything about that... but what the heck - none of you are going to meet me!
I really have got to admit that it was more down to luck than anything else... that and not being able to afford anything that was already finished.
Im praying to God that I can do it a few more times and retire at 35! but I doubt very much that's going to happen (unless my sperm antidepressant takes off).

*smiles* Ok the post is half tongue in cheek...
As for the mortgage, Im not going to get all vulgar about how much everything was, but:
I got a very nice bonus from a company and I added it to some savings I had so that I could buy some land just after I bought my home. I had to clear all five acres of poisonous plants and rubble and old tyres. I converted an old building on the land into stables with very VERY little money and the help of a few friends - to say thank you I threw a massive party at the field.
I charged five pounds under the going rate for stables in the area and paid all the money I got from that onto the mortgage. I figured that if I ever needed it I would take a mortgage holiday or get an equity release loan. I knew if I kept it I would waste it on stupid things.
I ended up with a friend practically giving me a horse they had essentially fucked up. I worked with her for a couple of months and eventually sold her on because she was too small for me to ride making a nice little sum along the way. I kept on doing this with a total of seven horses being retrained and resold in the process (and Im not heartless - Ive got first refusal if they're ever sold again and get photos regularly of how theyre doing, I also visit when I can).
I wanted to move to the midlands and decided to sell the land because I wasnt going to be there to make sure it was looked after... and it was hard work. At that point the market was nicely going up and up and I got a lot of money for it as it was practically a business...
I didnt want to sell my house because its in an area thats being redeveloped and its value is going up stupid amounts, so I had to pay off the mortgage to be able to rent as I didnt want to buy to let.
It was hard work. I worked full time, I did *almost* everything myself. I had a few blips along the way and I was VERY VERY lucky with the property market going up and up and up when I brought both.
Im still not rich but Ive got something I can either live in or sell if Im desperate.
I figure its a good idea considering what I seen happen to peoples ISA's and pensions in recent years. In fact as soon as the market starts to dip, Im putting the old house on the market to get whatever I can for it.
My next move is to do the same with the house Im in now... I just need to find some land that the right price.
And yeah, its a bit of a boast... but fuck it! I worked hard to be in this position and got off my arse and made it happen! There is no way on this planet that Im going to *have* to work after 40 years old.

Well, the fat minging part pretty much automatically comes along with being an English girl. The exagerated brashness, alcoholism, football obsession, and being a presenter of a trashy TV show are just optional extras.
Note to our American readers: "to ming" is to be disgusting or ugly, hence "that's minging!", "she mings!", "what a fucking minger!" http://www.mingers.com. "football" is a game that involves kicking a ball with your foot.

Good post. However I'm not that fond of the term 'ladettes' although I probably am one, because it infers that it is a good thing for a woman to be more like a man (as if). May I ask what male dominated activity Denise Van Outen partakes in? That's supposed to be one of the criteria but as far as I know all she has done is present dumbed-down TV programmes and appear in muscials.
"I brought my first home and paid off my mortgage in a year and six months." Er, how did you manage that - you must have had a massive 'deposit' or paid for around 90% of your home upfront and how many people can afford to do that with their first place? I'm not attacking you I just think it's odd you would boast about it when it sounds like you got a hand out from mummy and daddy or came into some inheritence/winnings.
