to think we can't have someone with such overplucked eyebrows as PM?

Come on Andrea, it's not the 90s any more. Seriously we could have the ubergroomed Hillary as US president. We can't have a PM looking like she's more suited to propping up the local golf club bar with her fifth double G&T of the evening.

(Quick breather to say fuck off Daily Mail to make the OP unquotable just in case they take it seriously).

Theresa with her killer cleavage and kitten heels would be much more stylish. Although I seem to remember some outlandish knitwear on more than one occasion.

Disclaimer: not in the least lighthearted.

What's the shape of her eyes brows got to do with her intellect and her ability to be a PM!

MardyBra · 09/07/2016 16:06

She is a woman MsJamie. So her appearance must be critiqued.

All this emphasis on people's appearance makes people come over as shallow. I think the woman is loathsome but why on earth is her appearance even relevant?

KickAssAngel · 09/07/2016 16:08

Oh no! We can't have Andrea and Angela as two heads of party. Their names are too similar, and I'd get all confused.

We should rename one of them Susan, then send them to get their colors done.

if you can't make a sensible decision about your eyebrows how can you manage brexit Grin

PreAdvent13610 · 09/07/2016 16:11

I think Andrea has had her colours done, surely nobody would wear a coral jacket otherwise

Nobody has ever mentioned Jeremy's appearance Wink

MardyBra · 09/07/2016 16:14

That is because he is a man PreAdvent. It doesn't matter what he looks like.

Goes to Google the eyebrows of every world leader in history. There's a thesis in this.

OopsThereGoMyTrousers · 09/07/2016 16:19

In fairness, Boris Johnson used to get a lot of stick for his hair and general appearance

MardyBra · 09/07/2016 16:19

Edwina could have doubled up for Spock.

""think Andrea has had her colours done, surely nobody would wear a coral jacket ""

I love Coral, but kitten heels are sick making, we need a PM that will ban them.

ilovesooty · 09/07/2016 16:22

This is just like women drooling and slobbering over that Poldark bloke. If men do that there are squeals about objectification.

PreAdvent13610 · 09/07/2016 16:23

Silly me Mardy there was me thinking lots of man politicians had employed style advisors, time to paint my toenails and pluck my eyebrows.

MardyBra · 09/07/2016 16:25

Not even a leopard-print kitten heel Birds?

SlinkyVagabond · 09/07/2016 16:25

I've got thin overplucked brows (thank you 1970s) funnily enough I can't ever remember it affecting my ability to think. As said up thread, I give two shits how they look, it's their politics that make me not want them running the country.
And despite the swears I still smell journo.

PreAdvent13610 · 09/07/2016 16:29

Do either of them have a plan, you know all this post Britex stuff?

thepothasboiledover · 09/07/2016 16:33

Sincerely hope your brows are on fleek OP Hmm

MardyBra · 09/07/2016 16:34

Ha Ha. Seven years on MN and my first accusation of being a journo.

David Cameron has an uncanny resemblance to a freshly wanked cock

HE DOES!!!

I knew he reminded me of something.
(Am totally stealing this observation as my own now....!)

BigTroubleInLittleChina · 09/07/2016 16:50

Theres lots of female politicians, but not many are stylish

Teresa May/Andrea Leadsom Tory
Angela Eagle Labour
Leanne Wood Plaid Cymru
Nicola Sturgeon SNP
Ruth Davidson Scottish Tory
Natalie Bennett Green Party
Arlene Foster DUP

Angela Merkel Chancellor Germany
Hilary Clinton USA

Theres also a blonde haired woman often in the EU line-ups that I can't find - looks like Pat Butcher.

TheFairyCaravan · 09/07/2016 16:51

You forgot to put "lighthearted" in the title and or OP Mardy.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 09/07/2016 16:53

It's their over plucked sparse social consciences that worry me

BigTroubleInLittleChina · 09/07/2016 16:53

What about the Ukrainian politician, Yulia Tymoshenko? Looks very stylish.
