Do these stars not look in the mirror?
Or have honest friends to tell them?
Why does no-one wear tights anymore?

are you completely au natural ? No make-up, skin lotion, hair coloring, spanx, nail varnish, jewelry, tattoos

Surely the point of all that is that we are putting it on our own bodies? I for one am not running round the internet deciding that strangers should have a tattoo across their chest or have red nail varnish on 8 of their 10 nails.

Think people are just being deliberately awkward now

LadyLuck81 · 15/02/2016 21:48

I like being pale. Pale and interesting. If you have naturally darker skin I like that too. But fakery is just a bit off putting. I don't get the obsession for tanning.

Off to get my parasol for the summer to come

Yes i think some are. Hmm

RudeElf · 15/02/2016 21:50

I think i've found a nee business idea. Stick on knee patches for when you want to wear a dress but dont want to world to know you have knees. Clearly i'll make a killing because theyre an essential piece of kit.

NoelHeadbands · 15/02/2016 21:51

Why must we give our opinion on other women's appearance though?

We all make our own choices regarding our own appearance, I'm genuinely intrigued why some people feel the need to comment on other peoples. Well, in the negative anyway

Can only presume it makes them feel better about themselves in some small way

Yeah, fake tan makes everything OK.

maybe just photocopy some acceptable knees - stick them on some card and stick the card over your own (ugly, shockingly OLD OLD knees) job done

Good idea. Lottie's are apparently perfect so i wonder if she'd let me use hers?

ZiggyFartdust · 15/02/2016 21:57

I'm still confused. Is it that her knees are pale, or that they are old? Or that they are knees?

snowymountaintops · 15/02/2016 21:58

I have to say that Cate Blanchett looked absolutely gorgeous, no knees on show so sophisticated. God knows how to link sorry.

DonkeyOaty · 15/02/2016 21:58

Christ on a bike at the knee hating

It's enough she's got a functioning pair, some of us ain't.

Lottie2611 · 15/02/2016 22:00

Someone forgot to tan

Am I allowed to say I think she looks great, LeaLeander? Grin
After all, I'm wearing no make-up, skin lotion, hair coloring, spanx, or nail varnish and have no tattoos. Or does the jewellery automatically deprive me of the right to say knees that look like knees are fine? Sad

BuggersMuddle · 15/02/2016 22:06

Wow older / ginger people should risk cancer so as to avoid offending people who are only used to Towie legs....

I'm ginger. I often wear tights: partly because I don't have legs like that but primarily because I live in Scotland. I sure as he'll don't / won't when in a warm climate or just because I am pale.

Oh and I have tried fake tans, including very expensive, gradual, fair. Some look okay. Most look ridiculous. None but the very subtlest gradual looked 'natural' and I doubt that would be sufficient for the tan fans ruptured Grin

ghostyslovesheep · 15/02/2016 22:08

but look at her young young knees

It's your problem op, not hers.

Hth

Botchit · 15/02/2016 22:10

Have you never come across an attractive pale person Lottie?

MattDillonsPants · 15/02/2016 22:13

OP you're full of it! Grin She looks amazing.

I live in a hot country and when I got here I thought "My God I can't reveal my 43 year old legs!"

I spent a week in stupid cotton trousers and then saw all the other women baring their blotchy middle aged legs and looking damn attractive whilst doing it and thought what the heck!

Perfection isn't beauty.

Gabilan · 15/02/2016 22:13

I might draw happy, smiley faces on my knees next time I go out with them bare. This will probably be the one day in June when the English climate approaches warmth.

Lottie2611 · 15/02/2016 22:13

Botchit you are completely missing my point....

Botchit · 15/02/2016 22:15

Really? Maybe you are not getting your point across very well then.
