Cherie & Tony Blair

And to think they presumably chose this as the best out of the pictures taken!

Clearly have grossly inflated opinions of what is a good photo too...thank goodness I am not on their distribution list, would give me nightmares having that on the mantelpiece!

Have they seriously ever looked at the finished result ??

Maybe the printer sent out the wrong proof!

Years ago they sent out a family picture as their Christmas card. Their unfortunate daughter was sitting at an angle that made her thighs look vast. Any mother with half an eye for style or proportion would have vetoed the picture and insisted on a more flattering one; Cherie, having neither, was apparently happy with it and probably thought it meant she didn't look too bad herself.

Unusually, I am lost for words

But where is her other hand river ?

A similar comment was made on HIGNFY .
I have always thought Cherie one of the most un (non ?) photogenic women in the limelight.

There's something wrong with the proportions.....her head looks half the size of his and her face seems slightly squint.

I know it is cruel to say but when Cherie smiles she reminds me of a letterbox or Cruella de Ville in 101 Dalmations.

I think it's just a cardboard cut-out of Tone.

Probably couldn't spare the time to post in person!

I really can't understand why people send Christmas cards with photos of themselves. I thought Christmas was all about the birth of Christ, Angels, Shepherds, Kings, Bells, Churches etc.. Why on earth do they think anyone in their right mind would want that on their mantlepiece

He looks terrified - and crickey, who wouldn't be!

I think sending cards with pictures of yourself is odd

I once received a photo card of some children I know dressed as Mary (with doll), Joseph and an angel. It was really delightful. Their costumes were nighties and tea towels and the angel was jumping up in the air. It looked as if they were having lots of fun. Apart from that I wouldn't be impressed. All the party leaders' card photos were shown in yesterday's Telegraph.

I would love to see the expression of distaste when her maj receives this tacky card!

That was cute, rubysong.

Does the Queen play darts? Just a thought

When I received it I thought 'Oh, now what, do I bin it or put it on display?'

Not wishing to be boycotted by my friends, neighbours and family, I shredded it.

Blair looks as though his wife is giving him a wedgie !

I blacked a couple of Tony's teeth out, drew some little horns on Cherie's head and put mine in pride of place on the mantlepiece!

Worryingly I rather like Ed Milliband's card which is just a nice picture of them playing with the children. It's when people start "posing" that it all goes horribly wrong.

Deedaa - why are you worried?

Well when has anyone suggested that Ed looks good in a photo?
