Dear god, are there no mirrors in Liverpool?

noddyholder · 12/04/2012 14:25

If ever there was an ad for the beauty of understatement that is it.

The last picture kills me. Dead.

Grin I think they have surpassed themselves this year.

Remind me never to wear floral. Ever.
Wedding this year. No bloody floral.

What is this obsession with wearing shoes so high you can't walk in them?

I had DD2 at a JLS concert on Saturday and the amount of woman clinging on to each other was ridiculous. Watching them try to go downstairs after a few wines was hysterical.

I had decided I wasn't going to fake tan this year.

These pictures prove I had the right idea Grin

ggirltwin2pinot · 12/04/2012 14:31

OMFG
what a state!

noddyholder · 12/04/2012 14:31

I hope it is the kiss of death for so many things but it never is. The orange tans tattoos fascinators coloured platforms maxi dresses and the hairShock AAAAAHHHHH!!!

Ahem, yes well, they certainly have a distinct style that they wear with great pride.

The only decent dress I can see is the red maxi in the third photo down. What's with the acid yellows and the loud prints though?

There does seem to be slightly less fake tan than in previous years whcih can only be a good thing.

I love the Daily Mail's comments under each picture.... a lesson in how to on the surface sound restrained but actually be dripping with contempt.

noddyholder · 12/04/2012 14:35

Looks like grayson perry in the pink fascinator halfway down

Oh and it isn't even Ladies Day, that's not till tomorrow. This is just a teaser. Oh joys!

tak1ngchances · 12/04/2012 14:38

Coleen looks ok. Her tan is probably real though. The two that I keep going back to look at in a voyeuristic manner are the turquoise babydoll thing and the pic of the two "ladies" as DM calls them at the bottom with the tattoos.

miaowmix · 12/04/2012 14:46

I don't really have the words.. why do all these people resemble Cilla Black, even the men?
Or the Nolans on an off day
actually the captions are pretty good

Northumberlandlass · 12/04/2012 15:13

my eyes ...my eyes...Wink

Do you know what I notice the most ... old knees. I have them, but try not to show the rest of society. If I could scrape the excess bagginess & then apply gaffa tape to thighs to keep knees smooth - I would !

As my Grandma would of said "nee mirrors" Grin

madammecholet · 12/04/2012 15:24

Last pic my favorite by FAR.. So dreadful I can't stop looking.

noddyholder · 12/04/2012 15:31

I know they are making me feel quite the supermodel

This is wonderful!

noddy, you have made my day. What a hoot!

mumofjust1 · 12/04/2012 15:33

Good grief Confused

lurkingaround · 12/04/2012 15:34

Yes, I also am a bit smug-ly feeling supermodelly. Fantastic.

LumpyLatimer · 12/04/2012 15:36

MARVELLOUS!

Can I just say that ironically the plump lass who has fallen over in one of the last pictures is actually one of the most nicely dressed/well groomed/pretty ones there. Poor darling, hope she doesn't see that and get mortified Sad

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 12/04/2012 15:39

Just and excuse for the Daily Fail to print pictures of plebs and laugh and point.

Nice.

LumpyLatimer · 12/04/2012 15:43

Yar I kind of agree MrsDeV. And feel bad that I was laughing until the fallen over girl (penultimate pic) and realised how hellish I would feel if I had looked forward to something and planned and had me hair done, and the whole world laughed...
