Just had a look at these fashions (!!) and quite a lot of them look like pantomime dames to me!

Why are they idiots ? Maybe , possibly a bit OTT , just enjoying themselves . Probably paid quite a lot to get in , I do not know .

As foe Ascot there have been some "fine beauties " there also .

Get over it .

What idiots - and that woman was old enough 1) to know better 2) to buy a decent bra and 3) to know some bits are best left to the imagination!!!

There were a few dressed like that at Cheltenham on what was the coldest day I can remember sad.

Thanks for the new word grace, now all I have to do is remember it.

They wouldn't get away with all that at Ascot, dah-ling, would they? I seem to remember a lot of gooseflesh on display on previous ladies' days at Aintree, so there must have been cold Aprils before. It's pretty chilly in this part of the NW today. I wouldn't go out without my thermals!

Oh my dear! Pictures in today's newspaper (Telegraph) of girlies at Aintree yesterday in skimpy dresses, bare legs, skirts slit up to here, bare arms, boobs all to the fore - WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?
Judging by Clare Balding and Alice Plunkett's outfits today (coats, boots etc ) the weather is still pretty parky but in any case what is it about race meetings that makes girls think it is appropriate to look as if they are tarts off out clubbing? I say "girlies" but there was one picture of woman more than old enough to know better than to wear a one-strapped dress with her embonpoint clearly in need of a bit more supprt and a lot more fabric shock
