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

Wondered if you'd be able to help me, I am 5ft 4in and a size 18 and most of my podge is around the middle, I was just wondering what kind of things would best suit my body, I mean do I avoid the big belts ect ect.

Your help would be great.

I don?t believe that anyone should ?dress their age? it?s all expressing yourself and being true to your own opinion. Kisses, Gok x

MammyMakkaMoo · 19/07/2010 19:50

I'm wondering about the big belt thing too. Can you recommend somewhere? Would that help with my 'boobs make clothes baggy round the middle' problem?

MyNeighbourTotoro · 19/07/2010 19:51

Hi there,

I am 5'2", 36G bra size, have great legs but all of my weight is around my ribcage. How can I hide it ?

Thanks, Totoro

Olivia - rude feckers! Twat the idiot who said that to you...or sit on them

20somethingmum · 19/07/2010 19:51

Hi Gok. A group of us Mummy Bloggers, who frankly are too busy being Mummies and blogging to understand this fashion malarkey, would like to know if you'd ever consider doing a special show with a group of ladies of all shapes and sizes (and that's just our bangers!) to stop us being slummie mummies and make us fabulous Yummy mummies again?
We have an awards night called the Slummies and it would be great to look good for once.

We are all different ages, and have kids who range from tiny babies to teens and back again, and frankly we are to wussy to go on alone!

Thanks Gok, we love you loads!

VJay · 19/07/2010 19:53

Hi Gok, I'm 5ft8, post baby, size 16 on top and bottom, but about a size 18 around the middle, so not much waist, does that make me a tall apple? If so, what should I be wearing to try and give me a waist?

Going grey is tricky but I think if you want to go grey gracefully then you will need to go a hair salon and get your hair stripped and then dyed professionally. Ask the HD to wack on a silver toner to give it some jazz! Mwah, gok

What about us short girls?? I'm 4 ft 11 and look like a 12 yr old!! What should I wear? please

MammyMakkaMoo · 19/07/2010 19:54

I could totally be on that show!

BecauseImWorthIt · 19/07/2010 19:56

So glad to hear you dismiss 'dressing your age'. I can't bear the 'ageism' that is spouted about how women should dress once they are a certain age.

Thank you, Gok!

Tell you?re darling son if he wants to be a stylist then get drawing and never let anyone tell him ANYTHING is impossible! That's what Momma Wan told me! Lots of love, aunty gok x

I wish my Mum would stop with the "I'm too old for this, I'm too old for that."
She looks fab, but is getting a bit of a middle age spread, so almost refuses to wear anything. I've made her go maxi, and it looks so good on her! V jealous, my clothes look better on my Mum!

GokWan · 19/07/2010 19:59

If you have thick ankles dolly then make sure you never wear shoes with ankle straps. Pointed stillies are best? happy dancing! X

Gok,

My husband hates my skimpy knickers! He wants me to wear bigger pants and french knickers instead of thongs - what should I do?

MizDemeanor · 19/07/2010 20:01

CrosswordGeekWantsChange - I have been thinking of a Maxi Dd says do it, Gok has just given me the courage to go for it

20somethingmum · 19/07/2010 20:03

Thanks! If the lovely Gok says yes, you'll have to join us!

Come on Gok, how 'bout it, lots of bangers to fondle! tee hee!

MammyMakkaMoo · 19/07/2010 20:04

Yes please!!!
