Why I am an unmade bed. Are you?

I was very happy to read recently in the Times magazine that I actually fit into a female stereotype, that of an unmade bed. Cosy, but not the sort of thing you want your neighbours to see apparently. I am actually anal about making my bed, but I must admit that I do often look like one.
Unmade bed types of women own hairdryers, but rarely use them (check) sleep with their make up on (uncheck as I don't wear it any more) drink red wine (check) eat cake (check, check, check) like dogs (check) get muddy when they go for walks (check) like clothes (check) & like sex (says nothing as this is a public post)
They also carry around massive handbags, even though all we apparently need nowadays is an iphone, a tiny purse & a small bag of miniature sized make up. I carry these, but also a paperback book, several bags for life, a moleskine notebook, several pens, an emergency chocolate bar (that Holly ate last weekend and I must replace) hair bungies, wet wipes, tissues, large bunch of keys with a tardis keyring that makes the tardis sound and who knows what else.
Unmade beds are women such as Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren & Stella McCartney. The flip side are Pristine Pillows, with highly groomed, very thin women like Sharon Stone, Cheryl Cole & Victoria Beckham.
I'm very glad to be on the Meryl Streep side of the divide, the idea of being as groomed as Victoria Beckham frankly makes me want to go and flop in bed with a large glass of red wine, a very large slice of home made cake and a dog or two for company.
