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!

I just hate shallow comments/criticism about how people choose to look.

And the shallow comments/criticism are normally from women about other women ime.

Yet when young girls feel pressure to look a certain way, the media or men are nearly always blamed...not the judgy hoiky knickers who take too much interest in other people's appearance.

It's weird.

She has a third in Maths from Cambridge - not a genius but must have shown ability at some point.

Sallyingforth · 16/10/2013 10:05

I suppose she's working hard to keep her toyboy interested. Can't really blame her for that.
But there's no need for anyone to shovel their tits out the top of their dress on TV.

Worra that is because women are taught that the most important thing about women is how they look. And lots of women believe that.

Nancy66 · 16/10/2013 10:09

I think she's a late-life bloomer.

She was very frumpy in her younger day, had an unhappy marriage. Then became famous, changed her appearance, started dressing sexily and - presumably - liked the way it made her feel.

I think she does dress too young but she's a very nice woman and can't say it bothers me greatly.

TheAngryCheeseCracker · 16/10/2013 10:10

No we don't believe that

What a load of crap

Women are not all taught to believe something, and jus swallow it

Women are not stupid, on the whole, you know

WorraLiberty · 16/10/2013 10:10

Worra that is because women are taught that the most important thing about women is how they look. And lots of women believe that.

And because some can't resist a good bitch/gossip about other women to make themselves feel better.

Meh! I think everyone should concentrate on their own tits (should they wish to) and let others do what they want with theirs Grin

BurberryQ · 16/10/2013 10:11

It's weird
worra, IMO what is weird how a middle aged woman with a first from cambridge feels that her only value is in flashing her tits on TV.
actually the word is 'sad' rreally.

TheAngryCheeseCracker · 16/10/2013 10:11

Also, tits are not offensive.

DavesDadsDogDiedDiabolically · 16/10/2013 10:12

Crikey, a lot of catty comments there!!

I think she's great - brainy, funny & sexy. What's not to like?

Go down town on a Friday night, you'll see older women wearing a lot less!

I'd have thought she was a better role model for girls than many other famous females that are out there at the moment - she used to be an Engineer for goodness sake - got to be better than a singer!

coldwinter · 16/10/2013 10:12

I don't really care about how she dressed. I just want some women on tv who don't seem to be there principally for their looks. There are loads of men on tv like this and very very few women

BurberryQ do you know Carol Vorderman then?

Have you actually sat down and chatted with her?

And has she told you that she feels that her only value is in flashing her tits on TV?

If not, then it'll be you projecting your own feelings about what she chooses to do with her own breasts.

LittleMissWise · 16/10/2013 10:15

She got a third in Engineering not Maths!

YoureBeingADick · 16/10/2013 10:15

Why does being intelligent exclude you from getting your boobs out if you want? Is that reserved just for thickos or something? Cant she be intelligent AND show off HER body?

Sparklingbrook · 16/10/2013 10:16

I don't really understand 'getting your boobs out'. Confused What is it for?

LittleMissWise · 16/10/2013 10:19

Why does she need to get her boobs out? Why does any woman? Isn't there more to her/us than that? It makes her look a bit desperate to me!

RVPisnomore · 16/10/2013 10:20

Hopefully it'll take her months to fly around the world so I won't have to see her annoying face (or boobs) every time I open a magazine.

She is fame hungry and whilst she might look ok for her age she's starting to look desperate to stay young with her constant need to wear tight clothes all the time.

HighBrows · 16/10/2013 10:23

YANBU...

I'll tell you all what I hate, men covered up with jumpers, shirts etc and then the token woman sitting there with her tits out.

It's not just Carol it's loads of women; smart and intelligent women who should know better.

Ladies put your tits away, you don't need to have them out, the men don't so why should we?

BurberryQ · 16/10/2013 10:24

well i think other people have expressed it better than i did perhaps.
there is more than a whiff of desperation about her.

Sparklingbrook · 16/10/2013 10:24

The only reason I can think of for getting your boobs out is for other people to see them. What am I missing?
If there is a good reason I will get myself a low cut top pronto.

WorraLiberty · 16/10/2013 10:24

She's just put letters on a board and done a bit of mental arithmetic. A bit like Rachel currently does on Countdown.

If a child of yours got a third in maths from Cambridge, I hope you'd be a bit less dismissive of their achievement Kim.

So according to some people on this thread...

She's got saggy boobs that should be put away now she's over 50.

She gives the message that looking sexy is more important than intelligence.

She's just good at arithmetic.

So not only has she been slated for her looks, but people are dismissing her achievements too.

Way to go ladies...

After reading the comment about not wanting to see old tits, i have now gone from not caring about CV's breasts to wanting to be her tit champion.

What do we want?
Vorders boobs
When do we want them?
Noooooowwwwwwww

Sparklingbrook · 16/10/2013 10:26
