10 things Essex girls are sick of hearing
Being an Essex girl in the East Midlands, here's a few things I've heard over the last three years that I am SICK of hearing!
1. We’re sick of you asking us if we’ve ever met anyone from TOWIE. Chances are we probably have, but it really isn’t a big deal
2. No, we are not all dumb blondes. Actually, there are some really great schools in Essex, just like the rest of the country.
3. We do not only use vocabulary like, ‘shut up’ and ‘oh my god babe.’ Most of us do not even own a pair of white stilettos and quite frankly, we’re sick of the stereotype.
4. Most of us do not even own a pair of white stilettos and quite frankly, we’re sick of the stereotype.
5. Yes, our accent may seem very strange to you but that doesn't give you the right to take the mick out of us. Everyone on this earth has a different accent. Why is the Essex accent so ridiculed?
6. We don't all wear fake tan, but even if we did, what has it got to do with you.
7. We aren’t all orange girls that wear far too much makeup and love hair extensions.
8. So you live near Brentwood then? Actually, no. Essex is 1416.995 square miles. Brentwood is extremely minute compared to that.
9. So you're an Essex girl, ey? *winks* We really are sick of THAT stereotype.
10. So is it like what you see on the TV? Actually… not really. There are really great parts of Essex, and some not so great parts, just like everywhere else!
