OK I am being sexist, but that Next dress on the front of today's DT really got my day off to a bad start. Fair enough, her pins are pretty good, but a woman of her age does NOT IMO wear a little pink shirt dress suitable for a girl/woman less than half her age several inches above the knee.
Girlish? Yuk!
Say what you like about Michelle Obama or Sam Cam but they knew how to look elegant, whether formally dressed or smart casual.
(Brigitte Macron is another whose determination to look "young" irritates me.There is such a thing as trying TOO hard. )

Although of course he could be coated with special anti-bullet skin protector (a Russian secret weapon), which would explain his apparent willingness to cast off his upper clothing at the drop of a hat...

Oh well maybe his chest muscles are so hard the bullets would simply bounce off ! Mind you I don't know a single man who wouldn't protect their nether regions first!

gillybob Sat 05-Aug-17 13:11:29

Ha you got me there grumpa wink

Should have said I don't know ANY man who wouldn't protect their nether regions first !

Wow "my" Vlad photos just made the Radio 4 news!
Eagerly looking for the photos of him posing whilst spear fishing now grin

Watch out you're talking about the next President of the USA (or the man behind the President anyway).

If Vlad is standing behind, I hope that Donald's trousers are impenetrable too.

gillybob Sat 05-Aug-17 15:36:33

I think there's an old Russian song about that Elegran

Dornald ver iz yor (bullet proof) troosers

trisher Sat 05-Aug-17 15:40:45

Oh Vlad serenading Donald- Bromance!

Elegran Sat 05-Aug-17 15:56:18

All together now
"I've just come down
From the Isle of Skye
I'm no' verra big and I'm awfu' shy . . ."

Putin does like to get his moobs out doesn't he? Any photo opportunity to look macho.

gillybob Sat 05-Aug-17 18:24:32

Moobs roses ? Moobs ?

How very dare you . They're rock solid pectoral muscles!

I'm sure I noticed a hint of wobble while watching him on the news just now...(yes, I admit I was actually staring intently)

gillybob Sat 05-Aug-17 22:13:40
