Fashion???

My better half brought to my attention a bunch of photos of celebrities??? at different functions.
She tended to agree with me that most of the dresses were not very appropriate / flattering or the correct colour for these people.
For instance a number of specimens were wearing mini skirts when their legs should have been hidden by long skirts ( chicken legs or even pencil legs). and those bubble hems are just ridiculous.
Anyone else agree that women should wear long skirts unless they have a very fine pair of pins.
Fashion just seems to be getting a lot of money for rubbish!

sorry, rose, I still fancy lads of 20, I cant believe im old enough to be their granny. Plus all the old men I know are egg dribbling, polo shirt wearing, pot bellied old farts apart from m y father in law, he is really dishy and so smart 76ish and after being widowed for 2 year he has a new lady but he would never criticise a woman for her dress he was too well trained by my late MIL.
Your man must be well trained Rose

On that post GOM, I agree entirely grin

Do you slobs or slebs? Not sure who we're bitching discussing now ...

Update and GOM comments
My darling better half wanted to show me a series of pictures of "wardrobe malfunctions".
Why do so called news services think that we would be intersted in pictures of women fallling out of their "cheap tacky" expensive designer dresses. THIS IS NOT NEWS!!!
Besides if they had more meat on their bodies they might not fall out of the dresses!
Actually this was more of women flashing their knickers - so what is different about seeing a womans knickers and seeing her in a bikini!!

Some people MIGHT think it news , good job everyone is different !

May I suggest most respectfully (one should always respect the aged even when they behave like numpties in a somewhat odd manner) that you and your dear wife buy a different newspaper, GOM? One that is filled with depressing news rather than filled with pictures of slebs? It is rather like complaining about TV programmes - there is an off switch.

Then you can complain about how depressing the world is.

I don't think you have to actually subscribe to a newspaper to be allowed to complain about its contents, RoseQ and anyway GOM referred to his wife looking at her laptop.
I dislike the celebrity culture too, but I think I can say so without having to actually purchase every copy of Hello magazine and the like.

ROSE , as was said on another thread you are such a scamp-I.
wink

rosequartz Wed 07-May-14 10:43:29

Just being a cat (fish) Nonu!

GOM is possibly younger than me, who knows?
Just wondered how much examination of legs, women falling out dresses etc it took GOM to decide it was all rather tacky!

Nonu Fri 09-May-14 16:56:28

HollyDaze Fri 09-May-14 17:02:02

Ana Fri 09-May-14 17:05:44

HollyDaze Fri 09-May-14 17:36:05

I read somewhere that you shouldn't wear trainers except in the gym, well sod that I find them comfortable and I don't gives a t***what the fashion gurus think.

We all have our own opinions of what looks good/bad on someone else but does it really matter.

As long as you feel good in the outfit who cares, life is short.
