A disenchanted barrister has put her wig and gown on ebay with a description revealing the abject misery of her life at the Bar.
The seller, who calls herself 'Toriuk' on the auction site, listed her Ede & Ravenscroft wig and gown between an afro wig and a £10.99 fancy dress barrister outfit (which, bargain, doubles as a judge costume).
In her description the former brief elaborates on the wig's condition:
Toriuk, in case anyone still wants to purchase the horsehair equivalent of a cursed burial ground, also provides answers to frequently asked questions:
It wasn't enough to put off the punters. The ex-barrister's dead-dream scalp and sadness cape, in spite of her best efforts, attracted 25 bids and went for £370 (plus £7 p&p).

If someone had made that comment about a man being more eloquent, there would have been uproar. I can't stand sexism in any form, which includes against men.
