fashioned from a nineteen seventies bathroom roller blind

Trend-conscious, it says here Hmm

FoxPass · 08/06/2012 22:03

limited! Shock and rightly so.

LeBOFFY · 08/06/2012 22:12

Funnys, yes- my roof is leaking and it's a long cold night without a speziale thread to keep me warm Grin

she looks like that woman who married John Taylor from Duran Duran poor cow

FunnysInLaJardin · 08/06/2012 22:17

marvellous BOF. But you didn't make a speziale entrance ala Stratters. And why not? You should announce your return properly like.

MarySA · 08/06/2012 22:19

Chic and modern??? Does this not contravene the Trades Description Act.

LeBOFFY · 08/06/2012 22:22

I couldn't do that, Funnys, I only sloped off quietly so nobody would throw buns at me. I'd get three posts in before the "Who gives a fuck?" replies started Grin

LeBOFFY · 08/06/2012 22:24

Looking again at those photos, I think they are actually on a computer-generated body with a model's airbrushed head stuck on. I'm sure I read somewhere that they do that now, and it would explain why her head is massive in some shots and like a sprout in others.

FunnysInLaJardin · 08/06/2012 22:26

but Stratters sloped off quietly like and on her return threads folk were asking 'where's BOF'. Mind you thats what I like, a degree of self deprication. Good for you. I nearly started a BOF is back thread, but could just imagine the replies and Couldn't BA

LeBOFFY · 08/06/2012 22:28

Quite- discretion in all things, that's us Grin

Yes, I bet they've done this kind of thing.

GreenEyesAndHam · 08/06/2012 22:28

Yay!!

I mean oh BOF you're back then...

Yeah nice one and all that, yeah

I think they'd have to superimpose the heads wouldn't they really? That smock could kill your career

LeBOFFY · 08/06/2012 22:31

God yes- there's no way a live model would deign to put those things on.

FunnysInLaJardin · 08/06/2012 22:31

wow BOF, that link is Shock. Mind you, don't know why I'm Shock, I look like that in RL, I really do

OracleInAMonarchale · 08/06/2012 22:34

BOFFY!!!!!!

I do love a good M&S pissathon

MissFoodie · 08/06/2012 22:37

dear god that is hysterical, had to repost on fb, hope you don't mind Grin

Queenofcake · 08/06/2012 22:54

Oh dear my links are a tad long Blush

KenDoddsDadsDog · 08/06/2012 23:03

I love a good M&S thread!

kickingKcurlyC · 08/06/2012 23:11

I quite like that green t shirt. ;-(

wildfig · 08/06/2012 23:40

foxpass I think you've hit the nail on the head - M&S are planting two or three car-crashingingly awful garments every season, knowing they'll be linked to on various websites, and then we'll all have targeted ads for weeks. DOH.

Rotflmao fuck me that's awful. New MD is going well then, or was this Stuart Rose's parting shot?

SharonGless · 08/06/2012 23:45

BOF. Good to see you back.

Have literally been crying with these Per Una Specialze - they have exceeded themselves.

echt · 09/06/2012 00:02

You know what? I never thought I'd feel sorry for a model. But really.

And while I'm here, does salmon/coral suit ANYONE? You can get it by the mile every summer in Australia, yet no-one actually wears it.

FoxPass · 09/06/2012 11:00

wildfig, agreed! I just went and looked at those hideous trousers and noticed I am logged in to the M&S site. "Hello, FoxPass - busted! :o
