Dawn porters bob is massive just watching her on 8 out of 10 cats and it's seems to have a life of it's own

Is she wearing a wig ?????

Natwebb have. Look at the Twitter link I've posted further down.

Generally I like her bob and her vintage style, I totally get it. But last night her hair did look a bit "odd".

This caused a lot of tweets around the program which she and her husband attacked back last night quite strongly.

southeastastra · 18/02/2014 10:04

it didn't look odd, blimey can guess none of you lot did much experimenting with your own hair, did none of you live through the 80s Grin

Wow. Bunch of women on here who really don't like successful attractive seemingly happily married women.

Go the sisterhood.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 18/02/2014 10:09

Actually it was mainly men that were bitching on twitter about her hair last night, posting pics of Gwendoline in Wallace & Gromit etc.

I counted up the tweets and the majority of nasty comments were from men. It still didn't stop her husband agreeing with a comment that it was "snakes with tits" and commenting that bitches are bitching.

Incidentally my DH was in the Army for 24 years and some of the men he worked around were the most judgmental and bitchy gossips I've ever come across.

Personally I choose my friends by their intelligence, sense of humor and shared values rather than their genitals, but hey, it's horses for courses. Smile

I used to have a bob in tbe 80's. Every time I went to the hairdressers,she spent ages drying it, with a round brush, so it sat out like a helmet. I wanted it to be all flippy flappy Louise Brookes style..
Maybe she went to my hairdresser.
Or she came on a motorbike and put a wig on top of the helmet to save time.

Cocolepew · 18/02/2014 10:13

As an aside I spent years think Dawn and Anna Richardson were the same person.

SauceForTheGander · 18/02/2014 10:34

The hair wasn't that bad - it was the big bump in it from the blow drying that looked bit funny but I liked the bouffant. Her and Chris seem nuts about each other.

I love Claudia Winkleman - she dresses brilliantly - but the eyeliner is out if control as getting way too smudged. She looked like I did attempting to do grunge in the 90s.

What I didn't like on 8 out of 10 cats was the racist Polish joke and everyone finding that hilarious which didn't stir up any reaction on twitter.

charity You are Dawn Porter's agent and I claim my ten pounds.

K8Middleton · 18/02/2014 11:38

Pffft. What a load of sexist bobbins some of you talk while claiming to be sticking up for this particular woman.

Why don't you rtft? Maybe some of your men friends who you prefer could explain the concept of irony? Then you'd enjoy it so much more :)

YouseewhathappensLarry · 18/02/2014 11:54

I love Dawn Porter I always enjoyed her programmes , definitely a feminist and I wouldn't be surprised if she was on here.

squoosh · 18/02/2014 12:01

I quite like her bob as long as it isn't too Lego like.

She used to have an artfully messy ponytail thing that irritated me.

squoosh · 18/02/2014 12:03

Howling at the idea that men can't be bitchy. Some women are such man pleasers to the point they've become deluded.

noddyholder · 18/02/2014 12:04

Hate little girl hair on women

I have only just found out that they're not from reading this thread!

People kept saying I looked a bit like an older, wrinklier, shorter, less glossy version of Dawn and I thought they meant Anna...

Feeling really quite chuffed now, off to buy some shiny, serum stuff and a donut to add more volume!

Objection · 18/02/2014 12:26

It looks like a very sleek badger is trying to consume her head to me.

AmberLeaf · 18/02/2014 12:41

I loved the fringe/ponytail combo!

natwebb79 · 18/02/2014 14:01

In my experience none of male friends could ever be arsed bitching about how a woman has had her bloody hair blow dried. Especially not a woman as gorgeous as the one in question. I think some of the posters on here claiming that the majority of people bitching about her were male doth protest too much. To be honest I wouldn't spend much time with anybody who wastes time bitching about people they don't know on Twitter any way. can somebody PLEASE explain to me what the fucking point of Twitter is any way?!

natwebb79 · 18/02/2014 14:03

'Hate little girl hair on women'. Jeeze, it's not as if she was wearing plaits with ickle bows tied on the ends! Grin

K8Middleton · 18/02/2014 14:31

To be honest I wouldn't spend much time with anybody who wastes time bitching about people they don't know

And yet... here you are droning on again :)

SofaCanary · 18/02/2014 14:39

Her hair is now as extraordinarily irritating as she is Grin

squoosh · 18/02/2014 14:47

She used to make documentaries of the light variety for Channel 4. Can’t remember the last time I saw her on the TV. What does she do now?

ShredMeJillianIWantToBeNatalie · 18/02/2014 15:32

I only just saw her for the first time ever on 8 Out of Ten Cats, a show which relentlessly rips the piss out of anyone and everyone ...... it's a great show Smile…I always had the impression that those who appeared on it were up for a bit of ribbing themselves, but perhaps not then!

natwebb79 · 18/02/2014 15:35

K8middleton - erm, by 'spending time', I mean actually face to face. You know, real life. And you only quoted half of my sentence. Love the way anyone disagreeing with the inane bitching is 'droning on'. I'd love to see the obviously fabulous and perfectly styled hair of most of the posters on here...Grin

bbcessex · 18/02/2014 15:36

I really really like her. Love the documentaries she does; she's got lots of front, not afraid to ask outlandish questions.

Her Bob is usually fabulous - I love it.. the hair on 8 Out of 10 Cats last night was not fabulous though - far too volumous (sp?) in a bad way.

However - it has made her newsworthy today, so not all bad then!
