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!

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

Yes, why don't they just go for a full black gown that covers their whole body?

You know, just to please women like yourself who tell other women what to do Confused

Her job wasnt to look good. Not when she started on countdown. She developed that later on.

For me it's not about old or young tits, I don't think women should be sat next to men with their tits out and men dressed with everything tucked in.

I hate to see scantily dressed women and men dressed 'normal'. There's no need for it.

Oh dear. Poor old Carol. There she was, being happy and successful and all these grown women come along wanting her to be a role model too.

Still, it's good of you to define her by her hair rather than her tits, OP

Her boobs were expensive so I guess that is why she likes to show them off nowadays. Seriously, they have grown significantly after being made redundant from Countdown and being replaced by someone half her age. I can't say I blame her as her line of work is still very lookist and not really about ability or experience. Maybe she feels the pressure to compete to maintain her career?

Worra that is not my point. The point is no man has his tits out, all men on TV dress with shirts, jumpers etc and then the women are dressed like they are on holiday some where hot.

If not, then it'll be you projecting your own feelings about what she chooses to do with her own breasts
no worra 'it won't be' - are they actually 'her own' - i doubt it...Grin

CV is on Loose Women-that is her biggest crime IMO.

CV's boobs are fake but big boobs are actually very hard to dress.
A big breasted woman will often need to show a big of cleavage to look ok. High necks on big tits make you look very dumpy.

Nancy sadly this wasn't a bit of cleavage, it was a full arse on her chest.

HighBrows my point is that in a free country women (thankfully) can choose to dress as they please.

There are plenty of other countries where their right to do that, is taken away.

CV or any other women should be able to choose a low cut dress and not get a barrage of criticism from others.

I swear if some women chose what other women could wear, Sharia Law would look tame in comparison.

It's all so hypocritical, especially from those who claim to back women's rights.

There must be a balance between hoiking them up and out or a polo neck. Grin

When I was last bra shopping I was asked if I wanted 'support' or 'cleavage'. Confused

I didn't like the dress. It looked impossibly uncomfortable, for starters.

I dislike her more for her Daily Maul-esque political views, though. If the adverts for loan companies didn't cloud my opinions of her, that appearance on Question Time, a few years ago, was toe curling and wiped away any respect I had for her. I noticed that even the Tory party stopped promoting her as an ambassador, after that.

She can wear what she wants. But let's not pretend she has a free choice. If she dressed in the female equivalent of how most men on tv dress, she wouldn't have a job.

Highbrows that isnt true about men wearing suits. Ever seen joe swash? His v-necks almost show his belly button. Louie spencer? Keith lemon? Any of the young trendies in their muscle vests?

I've got rather large boobs, I don't have them out all the time.

Sparkling I reckon CV is going to be given the push from LW when Kaye comes back!

I like the Voderman.

I genuinely respect her more for still dressing the way she likes (and looking pretty damn good too) when apparently she ought to be ordering her clothes out of the Saga magazine colour supplements or whatever.

You can have an interest in engineering and shiny hair. Women are not that one-dimensional.

Keith Lemon and Joe Swash are firstly caricatures and secondly are doing it ironically I would guess.

Anyway it pisses me off that women feel the need to be half naked while men are dressed 'normally'. That's it, I don't want to burka us all, you are free to have your fanny out I don't care but don't do it just because everyone else does it especially when you are in the media.

She has a free choice on whether or not to wear a low cut dress

Though clearly that makes her the wicked witch of the west in a lot of other women's eyes.

You're giving mixed messages there Highbrows since you earlier told women what to do with their own breasts.
