to want Carol Voderman to keep her baps in the breadbin?

[Bogeyface]

She has a great figure, is very beautiful, has great hair (I want her hair!), is intelligent and erudite.

So why the need to squeeze her boobs so up and in that she could rest her chin on them? Just watched 8 out of 10 Cats and she was shoehorned into a top that had them practically falling out and the make up job on them was none too subtle.

Be proud of your boobs, I love mine! But dont be defined by them!

...sarong berated along the lines of "men are their own worst enemy"?

[DidyouseeEthel]

LittleMissWise - Kaye is coming back to Loose Women? Really? (I stopped watching when she left).

[MarmaladeBatkins]

And LOL at "I thought this place was for feminists"

[MarmaladeBatkins]

Simmer down, Peggy. As a feminist, I can, and should, complain that the way this woman presents herself is not allowing women to progress. You've wilfully misunderstood what feminism means.

I really hope that Macca never gets arthritis in them thumbs. :(

[squoosh]

Paul would have his two thumbs up as per usual and Carol would be trilling 'he's got two thumbs up. See? See? One, two. I'm very gifted at maths you know'.

[Strumpetron]

I'm not a feminist so I can say she dresses like a ten bop prostitute all I like.

[peggyundercrackers]

I thought this place was for feminists which meant woman being able to do what they want when they want how they want. If it was a man saying she shouldnt dress like that there would be an uproar on here.

Now I see its not that at all its woman telling other woman to do how to dress... speak about hypocrites... you are a jealous bitchy mob! feminists my arse!

[MarmaladeBatkins]

They'd come out with a fuzz of Autumn Mahogany hair and a set of gonk eyes.

[Strumpetron]

HAAA.

Imagine the turtle babies.

[MarmaladeBatkins]

Or McCartErman.

:(

[Strumpetron]

VorderCartney perfect!

[MarmaladeBatkins]

And men do criticise what women wear/look like.

Look at the abuse Mary Beard got for daring to have grey hair/'unkempt' appearance. The vitriol spewed in her direction was all from men.

Of course they're not going to criticise what women wear when they dress like Carol.

[MarmaladeBatkins]

LessMissAbs, excellent post. :)

Guffaw at VorderCartney - couple from Hades.

[Strumpetron]

I don't know why but since the age of about 15 I've hated the woman. How can I hate someone I don't even know?

Her and Paul McCartney would be the perfect couple.

[LessMissAbs]

Worra It's mostly women who buy gossip mags/read the gossip columns online...taking an unhealthy interest in how others choose to dress/live.

It's mostly women who jump on other women for wearing low cut tops and short skirts.

It's mostly women who'll have something catty to say about other women who get breast implants/botox fillers.

Yes I see and hear men making catty comments too but I hear waaay more negativity from other women

That's because the tits on display look is aimed at men, not women. Hence I don't see how it benefits me, I see through it and I'm not comfortable, as a women, with men being encouraged to see women as sex objects.

As a heterosexual women, I am turned off by women dressing what is perceived as "sexually appealing".

Men don't generally go around enhancing their sexual assets, and if they did, most of us would most likely find it annoying.

Biologically, as human beings we are programmed to respond to social facilitation - to gain approval and observe others' behaviours. Comparing and contrasting ourselves to what others wear is part of being a human being, and it has many benefits. Of course, Carol Vorderman may dress how she pleases, but I don't think its reasonable to expect women to suppress their biologically programmed responses to what is targeted dressing to appeal to half of the population but not the other half.

[obviouslyneedsupernanny]

I think she looks great, and I don't thinks she dresses too young.

[MarmaladeBatkins]

"Actually, I do agree with squoosh about judging (fiercely) anyone who advertises extortionate debt consolidation loans."

Yup.

And she can hardly claim that she didn't realise how vile they are, at 42% APR, with her marvellous maths brain.

[EldritchCleavage]

Oh Marmalade, Nitpick is my middle name today. Pity the trainee currently sitting quietly in the corner of the office hoping I've forgotten about her for the time being (answer: no!).

Actually, I do agree with squoosh about judging (fiercely) anyone who advertises extortionate debt consolidation loans. Or 'claims managers' aka ambulance-chasing pseudo-lawyers. Looking at you, Andrew Castle. And Carol Smiley. And many, many more supposed celebrities who are unlikely to have needed the money that badly.

[Moistenedbint1]

Poor Richard Whitely, having to fake his own death just to get away from her.

How long will it be before we can expect Elvis style "sightings" of the hapless Mr Whitely?

[MarmaladeBatkins]

"
Poor Richard Whitely, having to fake his own death just to get away from her."



And why does she have to go on about Poor Richard every few weeks? Breaking down and sobbing? I've known spouses cry less over their dead partners.

[curlew]

If anybody genuinely thinks that she is on TV at 50 because of her brain, they are naive.

[squoosh]

Well I for one can't stand Vorderman. She has happily advertised extortionate debt consolidation loans, she behaved like an inarticulate right wing shrew on Question Time, she 'cured' people's ailments with her line of 'detox' snake oil.

Poor Richard Whitely, having to fake his own death just to get away from her.

Also bondage dresses need to fuck off, I don't care who wears them or at what age, they look so dreadfully tacky.

[Moistenedbint1]

To be honest, I suspect Vorderman enjoys the "male gaze" (many women do). Before her dramatic metamorphasis its possible she felt sexually invisible.. And the revealing clothing coupled with the hair extensions, implants etc now gives her the attention she long craved. I'm just not entirely convinced her risqué attire is wholly prompted by male television executives.. Possibly a combination of both. Sex does sell.. so perhaps this is her formula.. To some extent anyway.
