TM and THAT dress

So do I, Tegan Gilly That is why I appreciate a spot of lightness in a post. You can't be solemn all day, you'd go doolally.

Looking back at the OP comment about Brigitte Macron trying to look young, I don't blame her. So would I if I were married to someone so much older than me. I think most women and a lot of men in that position would do likewise.

I think if the intention of the OP was humour, an emoji or two would have helped people realise this. The humour aspect occurred to me later on but if one doesn't know a poster personally it can be hard to pick up their type of humour from the written word.
As has been said many times.

A wink and a wry look emoji would have made a difference to me so I suspect they would have to others as well.

Going off totally at a tangent here [due to thinking about the Macrons relationship] but there was a programme on BBC4 the other night about Franklin D Roosevelt [sp], his life, his career and his marriage. Annoyingly I missed some of it, fell asleep part way through and my catchup tv isn't working properly but, what I did see was fascinating.It was very much about what the public saw, what was really happening and how he used his public image in different ways eg appearing sound when he actually was unable to walk and yet using his wheelchair when meeting injured troops; not actually for any sort of propaganda purpose but so they could relate to him and he to them.

[isn't it the sort of thing we'd chat about in 'the real world' without people getting funny about it? we'd all make our point and move on]

Yes!
Pity I am not meeting my friends for lunch today, I'm sure one of them (or me) would have said 'Did you see TM in that dress' and we could have exchanged views and not come to fisticuffs.

Didn't think much of it but she doesn't know how to dress summer casual but does know city smart. We all make mistakes. I agree about Michelle Obama but Sam Cameron all that money and lamb dressed as mutton always smart and expensively dressed but out of touch and rather frumpy

Pink dress apart, I am not keen on any of TM's clothes.

But it's a good thing we don't all have the same tastes as it would make for a dull world.

for those of you who are interested, the DM has done an alternative wardrobe for TM with a lookalike. Sorry, haven't got the link, we have the actual paper!!

Here it is, kitty - it's surprising just how many things I can find to do to put off doing what I should be doing round the house! The most useful bit of advice to Theresa is surely to wear her sunglasses on top of her head (not unstylishly in front of her eyes where they're presumably doing their job).

I don't think women in politics should wear short skirts or show any cleavage at all when dressed for work. It's hard enough in what is still a man's world (for which there is more or less daily proof lately) for women to be taken seriously. Short skirts and low necklines are simply saying look at my legs and look at my breasts. Men don't tend to need any encouragement to do just that and the words fade into the background. There are plenty of flattering hem lengths and necklines that don't display sexual signals. TM is fond of showing cleavage and pudgy knees. Put 'em away, love! I'm no fan of Nicola Sturgeon but (apart from a bit of leg occasionally when she sits down - that red dress/skirt was probably a bit too tight rather than too short when standing) she always dresses simply and smartly. Some female MPs look like potato sacks tied in the middle.

Yes; I think Nicola Sturgeon has got it spot on, especially as I think she's too short to wear trouser suits. TM's shirt dress was just not meant to be worn on it's own if the wearer is on the tall side.

She was on holiday, for goodness sake!

Is this still running? ?

Must be a slow Summer....lack of news.

My thoughts exactly rar.

Getting grumpy again!

Apologies for replying to lizzy....

Tegan there was still something on the news about it this morning ... just a bit mind-boggling to me that it has caused SUCH a stir .

Perhaps to finish off, our youth worker at Church this morning wore this dress, or at least something very similar. She looked stunning, mind you she is only mid 30's and a size 8/10. if that.

There are no photos of Nicola Sturgeon in holiday clothes. She's always tightly encased in a suit and with very high heels.

Only just caught up with this but I do get irritated by Theresa's habit of either wearing flesh coloured or no tights on her spindly legs. The dress wasn't something I would wear, neither is it something a stylish Italian woman of a certain age would wear. I was surprised by her choice of destination as well, Sirmione and Desenzano are rather touristy. I'd have expected her to choose somewhere off the beaten track

Perhaps we should be pleased that her looks aren't high on her agenda and it gives her more time to concentrate on her job!

Exactly Jane10 do we ever see NS dressed casual on holiday ? Nope !

For that matter I look forward to seeing ( or maybe not) photos of Jeremy Corbyn in his speedos or Frau Merkel in her bikini .

She isn't a stylish .Italian woman and why should she wear tights if she doesn't choose too?

Gilly, pleeeease

Oh no Gillybob , please not!

Ah well Auntieflo, you tried.

Yuk! Pass the bucket gilly
