Oh yes, it's true.
We're delighted that Gok has found some time in his very busy schedule of getting people naked to join us at Mumsnet Towers next Monday.

Fresh from his new series where he styled his first man on this evening's show, he'll be answering Mumsnetter's
questions.

If you can't make it (and we realise there may be a little bit of a bedtime clash) then post your question for Gok in advance here. (no nudity necessary!)

Thanks
MNHQ

Hi Gok

I get really depressed when I see your show and the husbands/ partners of the women you make over. They all seem so wet.

Why aren't these men making their women feel fantastic and treasuring them and telling them that they are sexy and saying WOW you look great in certain clothes and buying them great jewellery etc. Why does it take a gay man to tell a woman that she has a fantastic figure and ought to show it off? Why aren't heterosexual men all for it too? Is it that they prefer that the women don't look too great so they are not "out of their league"? And are there actually relationship problems after the women are all Gokked and empowered? Or is the appearance of totally wet rubbish partners just something the production company likes to major on?

Would be really interested in your views.

Hi Gok.

Just wondering what I should look out for for Autumn/ winter.

I know summer's not over and i'm off to Majorca in 3 weeks but when I get back i'll have to be thinking about winter wardrobe and who better to ask!

Thanks

Hi Gok, love your work although I'm always amazed that folk seem shocked they are going to have to get their kit off - they are on a show called How To Look Good Naked fgs. Anyhoo, was wondering if you can recommend some decent jeans for tall curvy types please(apologies if someone has already asked this). Magasines always recommend expensive designer brands - I can't justify spending upwards of £150 even if they do lift my saggy arse out of the gutter.

Thanks!

Spidermama · 19/07/2010 19:26

My earlier question was from my son and not me so here's mine....

** Were you interested in fashion as a kid and did you get teased because of it?

My ds is a very camp 8 year old and he loves clothes, loves dressing dolls and girl friends as well as himself, but gets teased. Advice please.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 19/07/2010 19:26

Gok can you give me tips for supporting and dressing my massive bangers?

Everywhere i go they seem to tell me im a different size, whatever bra i get they fall out! Help

southeastastra · 19/07/2010 19:27

hi what can i wear to hide fat stomach am slim everywhere else my mil asked me if i was pregnant and today the dentist asked me if had any medical updates to tell him about

starshaker · 19/07/2010 19:27

OK i have a wee question. Im pregnant with twins (and look like the size of a house). I have no idea what my body will be like after they arrive but i dont want to waste too much money on clothes that might only fit for a few weeks (wishful thinking probably) What clothes could i get away with that would hopefully shrink with me

GokWan · 19/07/2010 19:28

Spidermama

I was never teased about wanting to be stylist because I didn't know then I did want to be one. However, I was bullied lots... tell your son he is not alone and let him know to be in control of his voice and he has the power to say no to the teasing! send him my love x

A seamstress is the way forward! Get her to buy a size 6-8 and get it tailored. Hope that helps x
