My first review was rejected, cos they didn't like my pen name (ReginaBoyle).

Will wait and see if my next one gets posted.

As a result of this thread I had bloody Damart ads popping up while I was on YouTube today Hmm Grin

That's a bit harsh if your name is actually Regina Boyle Confused

Someone must be called that.

Megglevache · 29/01/2011 19:15

Ohh and they let Jizzy get through. Astounding!

Loads of RL Regina Boyles. I think you should complain to M&S dearpru.

dearprudence · 29/01/2011 19:57

Yes, for all they know I really am called that, not making a peurile joke about fannies.

Did you know that peruna is Finnish for potatoes? True fact.

They're not designed to flatter a body that's still in decent shape.... they're designed to drawn the confused eye away from middle-aged spread.

The butterflies add a delightful touch of whimsy and the wide contrasting band at the bottom doesn't cut you in two much at all. If you look closely, you'll see there are random buttons stitched on the front too.

ValiumSandwichTime · 29/01/2011 22:57

You could write copy for them MA!

I bet you miss M&S doncha ? go on, you do !

My friend's mil asked me years ago to bring her out 'a skirt from m&s'. I knew without ever having met her what she wanted, and she loved it....

mathanxiety · 30/01/2011 05:37

I'm not a skirty person at all. I have only one denim number that I bought so long ago I can't remember where it came from... and their slacks don't fit me (yet). Grin

SarahStrattonHasNiceBears · 30/01/2011 06:18

Good grief, how did I miss that monstrosity? And whimsy is a very good word - suggest it to their design department.

I confess to the bobby dazzler of a satchel jumper Grin I couldn't resist!

thenightsky · 30/01/2011 12:20

WTF

Shock
ValiumSandwichTime · 30/01/2011 12:23

Blush Mathanxiety, I wasn't implying that you might be tempted by a stretchy-waisted mid-calf length multi-coloured crimpolene skirt!

regina boyle I was just reading a review of a dress on littlewoods and obviously the reviewer's first review didn't make it, but her second did, and it saved me from wasting fifty euro!

ValiumSandwichTime · 30/01/2011 12:27

Look, dress looks nice (to me anyway, you lot <a class="break-all" href="//wwww.littlewoodsireland.ie/south-peter-pan-collar-dress/816653013.prd?browseToken=%2fb%2f1655%2c6841%2fq%2fsouth%2fs%2fnewin%2c0&trail=1589-1655-6841&prdToken=/p/prod5580808-sku8465102" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">will savage it no doubt! but interesting in a bad way that the reviewer describes it as being a different dress from the one on the model..

ValiumSandwichTime · 30/01/2011 12:31

Try again I made a mess of the link in my first post

Very surprised the reviewer's review slipped through the net. But thanking her.......

cornsilk · 30/01/2011 12:36

can someone link the 'special' reviews? There is no way I'm ploughing through per una.

ValiumSandwichTime · 30/01/2011 12:45

thenightsky, they call that top 'burnout top'. Design team burnout top!

Aims80 · 30/01/2011 13:04

LOL my sister and I were waiting for my nun in m&s a couple of weeks ago and tried the handbag jumper on for a laugh, must get the photos from her!

Looks like the angry jacket has gained another fan.Grin

cornsilk · 30/01/2011 13:58

I had a jacket like that in the 80's as well LeQueen. Got mine from Kumar Bros

Mirage · 30/01/2011 14:05
