I think the florals are some of the better outfits! The tutus are insane.

thebestisyettocome · 12/04/2012 15:50

I saw a beautiful, slim woman today wearing an amazing outfit out and about today. She really did look stunning. She was on her way to Aintree.
Funny that the Daily Mail didn't publish a photograph of her Hmm

The Mail is also running loads of stories about MediaCity in Salford at the moment. They are showing photos of Breakfast presenters wearing coats and saying how cold it is in Manchester and also how people are scared for their safety in the general area. I've spent lots of time in and about MediaCity and never once felt scared Confused

They really hate Liverpool and Manchester Sad Hmm

What is the point of a fascinator?
Apparantly they are banned from Ascot this year. A pity Aintree can't ban big knees.

noddyholder · 12/04/2012 15:52

The mail is an abomination of a paper but this was supposed to be light hearted.

Noddy I did larf, to be fair Grin

DesperatelySeekingBunnies · 12/04/2012 15:59

There are a few lovely outfits amongst that lot tbf. Most of them look like they had a run in with a cheap sofa and lost though. I've never been to Ladies day and probably never will, but I love looking at the outfits for a laugh.

disclaimer I'm not stylish at all myself so am probably in no position to judge.

sanguinechompa · 12/04/2012 16:11

What a horrible thread

Not my style at all but what the hell - they think they look good - they are having fun - what's the harm?

Why such vitriol?

And the Daily Mail is an odious mysogynistic rag of the worst order.

Sorry but I don't think sneering at people is light-hearted.

Harrumph

noddyholder · 12/04/2012 16:12

WHere is the vitriol?

Oh dear....steps away.
Passes Noddy a Brew
Smile

sanguinechompa · 12/04/2012 16:32

Fair enough. Maybe I used the wrong word.

"Contempt" would probably be better.

Double harrumph.

thestringcheesemassacre · 12/04/2012 16:39

oh sanguine, look away then.
it's funny. and this is a mumsnet tradition.

EnjoyResponsibly · 12/04/2012 16:46

MrsDuvall fascinators are only banned in the RE at Ascot, can be worn in the Grandstand (and the Pimms tent Grin)

KeepTheChange · 12/04/2012 16:49

But they're just laughing at normal people. Can you imagine being printed in the paper for people to laugh at? Shock

God I hate the Mail.

sanguinechompa · 12/04/2012 16:51

OK I'll look away.

Still stand by what I said - hate threads like this - but I admit to being in a grump today.

[Brews another Brew for Noddy and co as goodwill gesture]

EnjoyResponsibly · 12/04/2012 16:51

Most of them just look bloody cold. Every year teeny dresses, mahoosive wedges and a tinge of blue under the fake bake.

I laughed most at the pic of Wayne sort of levitating in a ghostly, hair be-plugged manner behind "our Coll".

thebestisyettocome · 12/04/2012 16:54

Keepthechange.
Exactly! Most of those women probably know they're not Elle McPherson but what should they do? Stay at home in a darkened room.
Horrible sexist shit.

squoosh · 12/04/2012 16:57

I don't think these women don't give two shiny sh%*$ what random people on an internet forum say about them.

I just don't have it in me to never have a snigger at the outfits you see at Aintree. They're bloody funny. Nobody's being nasty.

Pinot · 12/04/2012 17:08

I love a good bitch about racegoers frocks.

:o

Pinot · 12/04/2012 17:09

Ohhhhh I didn't read the thread.

Bollocks if you're all being all earnest.

Pinot · 12/04/2012 17:10

Noddy come round mine tonight, bucket of Pimms and a bitch sess. Mmm'k?

squoosh · 12/04/2012 17:11

Can I also add that porn star shoes have to go. I don't care if it's Posh Spice wearing them or someone at Aintree, they're just so ugly and clumsy looking.

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 12/04/2012 17:11

I am meh about the thread.

The 'article' is shite and is posing as some sort of fashion piece as an excuse to take the piss out of wc women.

It is vile.

MagsAloof · 12/04/2012 17:13

Bless Colleen. Even with all those millions she still always looks like she just popped in to New Look before coming out. She needs to lay off the botox, too. Serious vUlcan brows going on there, and she is still young - no need for t!

noddyholder · 12/04/2012 17:14

Grin I will pinot. I doubt many of them would be pleased at being called WC tbh
