Come on, would be much more interesting and relevant than Dave 'Massive Panniers' for god's sake...?

Or shall I get my coat? (though am struggling to find a good, flattering one for my post-baby3 fat frame, which is why we need..........................)

I know@Lapin. Which is why couture fashion is all for anorexic pre-pubescent girls who look like boys!

Bug did you just have an orgasm?

BugBearisBugBear · 17/04/2008 13:02

wha? me?

Swedes · 17/04/2008 13:04

Could it be that our Mumsnet style and beauty gurus could teach Gok how to look good clothed? Now that would be good publicity. It could be for charity.

Fimbo · 17/04/2008 13:05

We need him for 24hrs not just an hour.

And I want to know if that guff in the papers about him being nasty to the models at Lakeside at true.

MrsMattie · 17/04/2008 13:06

LOL@Swedes!!!!!

Yes, I'll be part of that.

  1. Lose ridiculous haircut
  2. Lose ridiculous glasses
  3. THIS is not a good look

Trouble is we'd all have to put photos of us in our manky bras and non-matching pants on our profiles!

Or am I speaking for myself there?

oiFoiF · 17/04/2008 13:15

no
i dont understand the program AT ALL

i mean do MEN not have to look good naked

MrsMattie · 17/04/2008 13:17

Yep. And then all he'd do is churn out some guff about how you have to learn to luuuurve yourself - probably by being forced to stand naked in front of mirror in room full of film crew and Gok's lackeys, for about an hour, learning to appreciate your 'beautiful' cellulite. Then he'll just whip out the industrial strength Spanx, some foundation and a trowel like he always does in the end. You're all gluttons for punishment!

men do look good naked though...

not that I remember

I like Gok's look, it's, well, a look. A bit fashionista (better than looking like 'Mr i'm so original I dress in slacks from Next'). And his breeks fall cos he's got No Arse. Like a little boy. He's cute. I'm a bit eeek about the make up though. Him and Kaplinsky should get together (now SHE needs a good going over) Perhaps she'll join MN now she's up the duff and we can sort her out

LOVE GOK!

My (very senior) boss went to a Leadership Seminar yesterday where they were asked to name people that inspired them. Obv people were saying, Richard Branson, Anita Roddick, she said GOK!

chocolateshoes · 17/04/2008 13:49

Pleeeeeeeeeease yes!

Solitaire · 17/04/2008 13:50

oh yes, lets talk to lovely Gok!

CeilingCat · 17/04/2008 13:57

OMG do you all really think he's lovely??

He seems so fake to me. I can imagine him scrubbing down with bleach at the end of each shoot to purge himself of any lingering traces of cellulitey women.

BugBearisBugBear · 17/04/2008 14:01

He was obese as a kid.

When I realized that, I realized he knows from experience the psychological effect of a poor body image.

CeilingCat · 17/04/2008 14:07

Hmmmm I'll bear that in mind next time I watch him, and see if it makes any difference.

mazzystar · 17/04/2008 14:08

so long as he looks at all our photos and gives us each a proper ego boost

FeverishFish · 17/04/2008 14:30

i dont want to look good nakeid

MrsMattie · 17/04/2008 14:33

ROTFL@Ceiling - you've hot the nail on the head! I can see him sitting in a bar in Soho with lots of impossibly young, handsome male admirers, cackling away as he holds forth about the latest ropey, insecure wenches he's had a go at with the pretty stick.
