to think that Mary Berry looks slightly ridiculous

with the really obvious false eyelashes she has on in the ad for GBBO?

It's like seeing Angela Landsbury with a heavy contour and winged eyeliner.

Or The Queen with ombre lips.

Before I get accused of being ageist I think she's have looked ok with subtle individual lashes and not the dragtastic strip lashes she's sporting.

I haven't seen what you're referring to, but you are clearly being unreasonable on the grounds that I adore Mary Berry!!

Wideopenspace · 11/07/2015 17:38

When are we, as a race, going to stop being judgey fuckers about looks?

If you think her cakes are shit, fine, judge that if you must judge.

But WHY DOES IT MATTER and WHY DO YOU GIVE A FUCK?

Is it too early for wine? Grin

TheHouseOnBellSt · 11/07/2015 17:38

I am certain she doesn't give a flying crap what anyone thinks.

I'm always slightly started when I see people wearing false eyelashes just in day to day life and not at some glam evening do. Makes me want to laugh. Ditto maxi dresses. Ditto anyone over age 10 with a flower in their hair.

FrankietheSquealer · 11/07/2015 17:40

maxi dresses are a flabby shouldered polyester horror story

Oh goodness me, do calm down a bit. No one is criticising Mary Berry as a person, just the ridiculous makeup she has been made to wear. I very strongly feel that it is belittling and demeaning to women that current fashion demands they are caked in makeup all the fucking time.

Wideopenspace · 11/07/2015 17:47

Now that is a whole other discussion Mintyy - if the OP had said

AIBU to wonder if Mary Berry is another victim of the patriarchal society with her need to wear make up and shit?

then that would be a different matter.

But it didn't. And I don't think women calling each other ridiculous looking is helpful or necessary.

NOW can I have some wine? Grin

FrankietheSquealer · 11/07/2015 17:48

how old is she now?
her career bigger now than in her days on daytime tv with Judith Chalmers.

hope for us all Grin

Inkanta · 11/07/2015 17:48

She looks great. And she's 78 isn't she? Very pretty eyes.

Mintyy · 11/07/2015 17:48

Yes, I think you better had.

bigTillyMint · 11/07/2015 17:55

Well I think she only has them on because the clip-maker for some reason thought it would be a good idea for them all to wear them (I don't think Sue and Mel look any better) - clearly OTT with the outfit, but must have been done intentionally by make-up. Did Julie Andrews wear them in the Sound of Music?

They could have at least put some on Paul to give us a laugh.

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 11/07/2015 17:58

Oi Oi - what's wrong with me?

MitzyLeFrouf · 11/07/2015 18:03

MaryBerrysEyelashes you've gone very Vegas darling, when you used to be more Padstow.

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 11/07/2015 18:07
