Speaking of Boden, who on earth chose this pic

for the website? Is it just me or does the model look like she just sat on a large spiked implement and her ears are Mr Spock-esque?
It's just totally unflattering in every way!

Oh dear me!

That looks like my pictures when the flash goes off early and I was still preparing my smiling face Grin

TheKettle · 13/10/2012 11:35

If I was her I'd go mad for choosing that, surely they took hundreds of shots in that cardi. She's got a look of Cindy Crawford. I'm sure she's stunning but if that's the best shot they could find then maybe she's better as a runway model than a print model?

I know what you mean about preparing your face for the camera!

I reckon it was the best face she could muster having to wear an "embellished" cardigan. FFS, they are hideous.

SoupDragon · 14/10/2012 08:13

LOL! That is fabulous :o

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 14/10/2012 08:18

Grin i missed that one, so did the editor it seems!!

Dollydowser · 14/10/2012 13:17

Hilarious! Grin

its the swing of ythe earring

scripsi · 14/10/2012 14:34

had a photo of me like this and it made me very paranoid about my suddenly wonky mouth. Perhaps she was trying to look ironic in the embellished cardy and it backfired?

yousankmybattleship · 14/10/2012 14:41

I'd make a worse face if I had to wear that hideous cardigan. Grin

purplepenguin86 · 15/10/2012 02:40

Ah brilliant, that made me laugh out loud. You do wonder what they are thinking when they are looking through all the shots they have taken, and choose that one.

HarlettOScara · 15/10/2012 04:19

Someone must have told her the price of that hideous cardi just as the photo was taken.

SoupDragon · 15/10/2012 07:01

I have just reviewed it.

ALthough I suspect it may not get through their editing process...

Pros: Uss Enterprise
Cons: Battles With Klingons
Best Uses: To Boldly Go

I bought this in the hope that it would make me look like the model in the photo and it did! Immediately my ears elongated and the tips turned pointy and I discovered that people collapsed at my feet when I gripped them between the shoulder and neck. No more toddler tantrums in Waitrose I can tell you!

Fabulous. Worth every penny.

Live long and prosper!

Good work Soupy!

Maybe she wanted to be unrecognisable?

I have a cardi like that that my mum gave to me. She was given it by a 99 year old friend of hers who got it from M&S a few years ago.

AmethystMoon · 20/10/2012 04:14

soupy I just said 'yes' I found your review helpful Grin

BabblingWreckSimianBrain · 20/10/2012 09:36

I have also said I found the review helpful. Thanks Soupy
