was waiting in `Top SHop with dd who was trying on shoes

dd spotted her from afar
she looked fab...no make up
didn't seem as tall as I'd expected

she sat down with friend and they were trying on shoes

I said her friends choice were "cool"

dd nearly passed out with embarrassment at her mum saying "cool"

lolol

erin said they were "cute"

I am soooooo not cool

she was on the F word and let Gordon Ramsay measure her.

she's 6ft., 1in.

Ah well. At least you didn't wet yourself!

I'm sure it's your job as a parent to say "cool" inappropriately and be embarrassing, so your kids can feel that they really are cool (or gravy or sick or whatever the word is among Young People Today)

There is nothing worse than a parent who is actually cooler than you, after all.

she grew up in brownhills where i live and we are the same age but i wouldn't know what to say if i saw her now.

SoupDragon · 17/11/2008 13:37

Or "Gosh, you look taller on TV"

EyeballsintheSky · 17/11/2008 13:38

From what I've heard she's a bit of a tit anyway so I wouldn't worry about it! Gorgeous though

Boco · 17/11/2008 13:41

You should have said 'dude! those shoes are seriously RAD muthufucka!' and then done high five. That would have been cool and your daughter would have been very proud.
Do that next time.

She gives me the creeps. Is she as freaky looking in rl as she is in the M & S adverts?

TsarChasm · 17/11/2008 14:14

Does she do that imperious side on pose in rl as well?

brimfull · 17/11/2008 14:14

she looks exactly the same
even walks with head at weirdy angle

I think she's beautiful if slightly unusual looking...typical model I think.

I was looking for camera thinking she was posing but no she was jsut browsing the shoes

That must make daily life jolly tricky.

solo · 17/11/2008 14:17

Who?

Fimbo · 17/11/2008 14:21

Just for Solo. It took a lot of courage for me to look that up - she seriously scares me.

solo · 17/11/2008 17:59

Thank you! I still don't know who she is, but she is gorgeous!

shootfromthehip · 17/11/2008 18:04

Could have been worse- you could have seen her in la senza and said 'I like your pants', that would have been quite mortifying for you and DD!

minko · 17/11/2008 18:04

I love her, well how she looks anyway. She might be a cow but she's a great model.

cocolepew · 17/11/2008 18:06

I used to work with her Aunt and she was forever telling me I was the double of her.

Not sure why it all went so right for her and not for me then .

It could be because I'm years older than her and about a foot shorter.

Fimbo · 17/11/2008 22:55

SOLO - watch the latest M & S Christmas Ad - you will see her!

MascaraOHara · 17/11/2008 22:58

I didn't know who she was either, looked at Fimbo's link but it seems her dress has fallen down.

I say cool.. lot sof people I know say cool.. is it not cool? I thought it was cool in quite a retro chiq way. like 'ace'

solo · 18/11/2008 10:44

I saw her Fimbo. She's very beautiful.

Mascara, I say cool too and as I'm saying it, I'm cringing at myself
