YANBU
And I worship her hair too.

Longstocking2 · 19/01/2011 17:23

and I worship her hair too, it is part of why I worship her!

She was on Richard Bacon's programme today and I could tell her worships her as much as I do!

Longstocking2 · 19/01/2011 17:25

I think she is great. Though I did think she was much older than she is (see a thread in S&B about her haircut where I said was I too young for it cos she was in her 60s!)

(sorry Mary)

valiumredhead · 19/01/2011 17:35

Oh yes, she's just so stern and bossy - love her!

Angrylady01 · 19/01/2011 17:35

I love Mary too! YANBU.

MardyBra · 19/01/2011 17:37

Will be watching avidly tonight.

MardyBra · 19/01/2011 17:39

and her other half is beautiful too

MattsBatt · 19/01/2011 17:40

YANBU. She is ace. I am constantly banging on about poor customer service, so I shall be in seventh heaven tonight when her programme is on, and woe betide DH / DS / DD if they interrupt me ...

I wonder what Mary Portas would make of that Christian couple who refused to let the gay chaps share a bed .... oh, hang on, that's another thread ...

TryLikingClarity · 19/01/2011 17:42

She is one cool lady, that's for sure.

narkypuffin · 19/01/2011 17:43

Her Hair is perfect. It reminds me of a Strawberry Shortcake doll I had as a child. I don't know how she makes it stay just so.

MardyBra her closet is AMAZING - did you not see in one of her previous programmes? Floor to ceiling built in cupboards and a special sliding ladder thingy ( like they have in old librarys) to reach to the top shelf. I SQUEALED with envy when it was shown Grin

MardyBra · 19/01/2011 17:54

Sad no I missed that valium! I want a ladder thingy. (we have one going up to the loft, but I don't think that counts).

JamieLeeCurtis · 19/01/2011 17:55

She is great

Her and CJ from West Wing are my idols

valiumredhead · 19/01/2011 17:56

I'm not sure that counts either mardy Grin There were lots of lovely hat boxes too sighs with envy Envy

MattsBatt · 19/01/2011 17:58

Ooh yes, I love CJ from the West Wing too, and also Dahlia Hassan in the last series of 24 ...

tattycoram · 19/01/2011 18:00

No she is my biggest crush. She did a fab Desert Island Discs last year

valiumredhead · 19/01/2011 18:05

She lives next door to her ex dh and they see each other every day - how brilliant is that? And her house is FAB Envy

ButterflySally · 19/01/2011 18:11

I love her too. Can't wait for her new programme tonight!

PommePoire · 19/01/2011 18:15

I once saw her in real life and stood near enough to speak to her...and then couldn't, because she was so tall and amazing looking that I got a bit overwhelmed. I love her totally genuine enthusiasm. She really gets excited about her work and her job and that's so refreshing. Oh and her hair. And her shoes.

ttalloo · 19/01/2011 18:15

Oh yes, she's amazing. The way she looks and dresses, the way she stalks around as if she's been put in charge by public vote, the way she talks people into doing what's best for them without humiliating them like a certain G. Ramsay, and now with standing up for the beleaguered British shoppper.

And after hearing how she coped after her mother's death, and father's remarriage on DID last year - she's inspirational.

oneofsuesylvesterscheerios · 19/01/2011 18:21

We have a poster of Mary up in pride of place at work, entitled "Her Majesty" and a sub-heading/mantra "WWMW?"

Some people in our dept don't get it.

So we don't like them.
