Actually, I'm fully aware that I'm being U. There's just something about "sexy" oap Twiggy dancing in her granny jeans that makes my bile duct twitch. Also, Lisa Snowdon, very annoying.

I'm putting it down to PMT but I just turned the television off in a huff as soon as that advert came on.

Anti-M&S-food types may enjoy this

I hope the link works!

yes, those m&s women are annoying me now. And they are looking fairly unfashionable too so I don't want to shop there.

ElleBing · 07/04/2010 20:28

Ah. And there lies the rub.

I hate M&S adverts but their food is too delish to decry it altogether. They'd have to do something like use ground glass instead of caster sugar on their cereals to put me off. I'm a food whore, y'see.

i dont even think she is pretty and i am not sizest but she looks too short compared to the models - silly

I just cant warm to Dannii. I really have tried but I think there is a coldness behind the eyes.

ElleBing · 07/04/2010 20:57

They need to have a shake-up with the models they use. I don't even know who they're appealing to because it's certainly not me or anyone I know.

I'd quite like to see Kerry Katona falling about pissed to Power of a Woman by Eternal in some of M&S's granny jeans. Then maybe that big mouthes drunkerd Carol McGiffin from Loose old slappers women could bring up the rear, inappropriately dressed and attached like a limpet to one of JLS who looks upset and shaken, then maybe Beverley Callard aka Liz McDonald can do some cringey dancing in a sarong.

I am double- no, triple- cross with M and S

for:

  1. having a fashion range that can only be described as 'nautique'

and

  1. not having dumped Myleeeeeeene, as me and dp had previously hoped
  1. not having ONE fucking fair trade Easter egg in fucking Bromley, while touting their right on ethicalness all over the walls

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr M and S gnash stomp whine

nickschick · 07/04/2010 23:16

'this is not any old am I being unreasonable?- this is M&S am I being unreasonable ......'.

ElleBing · 07/04/2010 23:27

Also grrrrr at nautique. Breton tops with jeans, yes. Full on Captain Birdseye-esque blazers and deck shoes, no.

Am also v.relieved that I'm not the only woman to have my bile duct tickled by Myleene and also not to be accused of being jealous of Myleene by other MNers.
