Foxy Knoxy
Can’t believe I asked if you can be sexy and middle class given the protagonist at the centre of yesterday’s media circus. For two years now Amanda Knox has been tried on Facebook, in court, in public. She was every bit the wholesome girl-next-door with a peaches and cream complexion, several languages, a love of the Beatles and parents who were prepared to mortgage their picket fenced homes to see justice done. But now Foxy Knoxy, the world’s preppy middle class focus point (pin-up?) has been convicted of murder and sexual assault. Not so sexy then. Mind you, would we care as much if she wasn’t so solidly, unforgiveably middle class?
