AIBU to think this over sexualised photo is just weird!

Christmas elves are magical, cheeky and apparently now “sexy” with Amanda Holden. I just find it so weird for grown women to dress up like this and kiss in this way.

Sad and desperate woman. She has no other talent to use to pay her bills I guess

@YellowandGreenToBeSeen

It’s not the ‘attention seeking’ (I hate this phrase - never levied at men) I deplore, more the pandering to the shit, lazy and unimaginative sexual stereotypes.

Just so fucking boring.

I like ‘older’ women being sexy. More fucking power to them / us all. But, Mandy, do try to keep up with the narrative - faux lesbianism is just so… passé. Zoo Magazine isn’t cool babe.

This. It's pretty homophobic in my book.

She's had Les Dennis's balls on her chin

That is all I will ever think of now when I see her....

Holden can pucker up...now that is the miracle of Christmas with her frozen face. The wonders of photoshop...

Vapeyvapevape · 17/12/2021 21:10

The airbrushing is terrible, the pointy sleeves on the woman on the left look like they’ve sliced into her arm . AH has daughters and isn’t setting a very good example regarding body image.

DixieSun · 17/12/2021 21:13

I actually think pretending to be gay for attention is pathetic.

@WaningMoon

This is what I would expect to see on a flyer advertising local strip clubs .

I'll take the strip club over Amanda Holden thanks

maryzx · 17/12/2021 21:16

Who is Ashley Roberts, mentioned upthread?

I do know who Amanda Holden is, but she must be fucking desperate because she's the same age as me and I don't feel the need to pretend to kiss another woman under a man-held mistletoe sprig.

Is this a known fact?

Has she actually talked about giving Les Dennis a blow job?

Give me strength.

AnotherMansCause · 17/12/2021 21:18

More festive faux lesbianism, just for the camera. How unimaginative. It's not even been done than well.

SpanielsAreMyLife · 17/12/2021 21:18

She'd do anything for 5 minutes of attention.

Poor Les. I hope he washed them after

Allthepickles · 17/12/2021 21:19

Surprised they haven’t been torn apart for ‘queer baiting’ that’s what usually happens these days

FlamingGoat · 17/12/2021 21:20

The hand belongs to the one on the left.
They both look really bored.
Absolutely crap marketing ploy 🤢

She would sell her soul for publicity, in fact she probably already has.

CaptainHammer · 17/12/2021 21:22

The replies on twitter are awful. I would feel disgusting reading through them if I was her

LoveGrooveDanceParty · 17/12/2021 21:22

She really is desperate, isn’t she?

Doesn’t she have children? FML I’d be mortified if she was my mother. 😩

LowlandLucky · 17/12/2021 21:25

I feel for her teenage Daughter, she must be so embarrassed by her Mothers behaviour.

MamDancer · 17/12/2021 21:25

They were married, so seems plausible.

Partyowl · 17/12/2021 21:25

Oh dear. If there is a 'message', I haven't caught on yet. All looks a bit desperate.

DoTheyKnowItsLemonJuice · 17/12/2021 21:25

They were married, @maryzx

Aurelia1313 · 17/12/2021 21:28

What context was this in? It looks like a cheap porno.

Stuckhere2021 · 17/12/2021 21:28

Well there’s no such thing as bad publicity I guess. Feeds into the “hot lesbian” stereotype and done for male titillation cos you know, only men’s opinions are important. Also hints of “hot twins” fetish. Holden is a bit of a dog whistle methinks.

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 17/12/2021 21:28

Amanda is like the UK's answer to Madonna, except Madonna at least used to have talent. Amanda is only famous because she's attractive.
