....a bit porn star-y? Masses of fake hair, nails, loads of make up, lip gloss. Yikes! I don't know any senior women at work who look remotely like that.

Oh, and Karen Brady has upgraded her hair stylist this season, no?

I am still laughing at Lorenzo.

notnowbernard · 16/05/2013 23:11

Was it Paul LORENZO, Getorf?

GetOrfMoiLand · 16/05/2013 23:12

No it was Paul Torrisi,

Perhaps he has an uncle Lorenzo, Grin

squoosh · 16/05/2013 23:12

Paul Lorenzo was like a Harry Enfield character, a man made of oil.

notnowbernard · 16/05/2013 23:13

No, scrap that I've just had a quick Google, am WAY off course there

notnowbernard · 16/05/2013 23:13

cross post!

Bumpotato · 16/05/2013 23:17

Does the way they look make any difference to their ability to do a job?

notnowbernard · 16/05/2013 23:25

Bumpotato, no of course not but it's interesting that there's no Quaker-style types isn't it

ALL the candidates look the same - the men also

Bumpotato · 16/05/2013 23:31

That made me giggle. My brother is a Quaker and has model good looks ...he's been approached by model agencies and gasp Hollister!

They all have the same team of stylists/make up artists so naturally they'll end up with the same look.

squoosh · 16/05/2013 23:33

Ummmmm, I've always been interested in Quakerism, do you think your brother might be free to give some one on one instruction on this matter?

Mumsyblouse · 16/05/2013 23:36

They all have the same team of stylists/make up artists so naturally they'll end up with the same look.

But why are they all styled to look like they are on TOWIE? They weren't in previous years (Saira- did anyone see her very touching documentary about adopting an abandoned baby from Pakistan?)

The Badger would not have been persuaded into hair extensions. No.

GetOrfMoiLand · 16/05/2013 23:38

What about that rather nice albeit petulant looking woman (we all said she needed to wash her hair and stop wearing red lipstick mind you) who did well one year, I think when Stella won. Story about her swinging with her husband came out at the time whic I thought was AWFUL for her.

GetOrfMoiLand · 16/05/2013 23:39

Anyway she was in her late 30s and wasn't particularly well groomed, but did well.

notnowbernard · 16/05/2013 23:40

Lorraine?

GetOrfMoiLand · 16/05/2013 23:40

Perhaps she was called Lorenzo Grin

Bumpotato · 16/05/2013 23:41

Grin Squoosh ... He's currently a medical student and wants to work in third world countries/war zones when he qualifies.

He's just so....worthy. I'm beginning to wonder if he's even actually related to me Hmm

munchkinmaster · 16/05/2013 23:45

DH says Usma looks like the bo selecta version of Brittany spears

munchkinmaster · 16/05/2013 23:51

too cruel?

squoosh · 16/05/2013 23:51

Hollister model who also works as doctor for Médecins Sans Frontières, he sounds horrendous!!

Bumpotato · 17/05/2013 00:00

Lol he turn down Hollister in order to volunteer in an old folks' home. He now works part time with a SEN young adult, helping him be independent so he can leave home in the future.

Worthy, I tell you though he gets his looks from big sis

squoosh · 17/05/2013 00:05

He does sound very worthy, I can help him fix that!

Bumpotato · 17/05/2013 00:08

Plenty of others have tried...though it would be fun having another Mnetter at my weekend piss ups BBQs!

squoosh · 17/05/2013 00:45

Believe me, I could corrupt him. Not sure his sister would like to hear the actual details though! Grin

Bumpotato · 17/05/2013 00:53

Good God, no. The corrupting I don't mind but spare me the details hands over ears singing lalala
