I've got one of those sparkly scarves tied round the bum of my jeans. Do I look like a great big piece of mutton?

FrannyandZooey · 11/08/2006 11:47

nn

have been wearing all morning and quite fancy myself in it

just thought would get the MN thumbs up / down before inflicting it on the g. public

OP posts:
CodGuevara · 11/08/2006 11:47

hmm. i liek the idea but woudlnt wear it for mincing around at home
also my arse too wide

MrsBadger · 11/08/2006 11:47

it'll be fine till you need the loo

try a narrow belty scarf type with traily ends instead

nailpolish · 11/08/2006 11:48

thumbs up from me babe

what colour is it

nailpolish · 11/08/2006 11:48

LOL! MrsB with her serious hat on

FrannyandZooey · 11/08/2006 11:49

It is the sort with traily ends, with a sort of metallic thread MrsB. Have been to the loo, the whole thing just comes up and down ok (jeans quite low)

Cod I have No Arse, this is in fact a cunning trick to distract from the fact I have No Arse.

i was given a lovely one (scarf not arse) but haven't been able to bring myself to wear it. i would if i had a slimmer middle.

FrannyandZooey · 11/08/2006 11:51

NP it is

erm

red, white, brown, pale blue, blue and silver

sounds ruddy awful doesn't it?

It looks mostly black and silver and red from afar

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 11/08/2006 11:52

Am shocked and stunned at the lack of "yes you do you wrinkly heifer" type replies

Where is the judging, I say? MN never used to be all supportive like this

OP posts:
LiliLaGuillotine · 11/08/2006 11:55

well I'll say it then
no to scarves round jeans (thinking of organising demo)
what's a good leather belt for, hm??? (and don't say spanking please)

nailpolish · 11/08/2006 11:55

sounds nice

i have a pink one with sequins (which sounds worse!) that i wear on occasion

the sequins keep coming off

MrsBadger · 11/08/2006 12:03

probably looks fine then

unless of course [evil laugh] it draws attention to freakishly-small arse-area

[rubs hands as Franny cricks neck squinting over shouder in mirror]

LiliLaGuillotine · 11/08/2006 12:05

no no no no no!!!!!!!

bad idea, not stylish at all

wear a really nice leather belt, that's all there is for it

don't believe them they're jealous of your small arse and trying to make you look crap

HarpsichordCarrier · 11/08/2006 12:07

no, it looks fabulous. watch it doesn't get caught in your bike/pushchair wheels, though, leading to tragic Isadora Duncan type incident

HarpsichordCarrier · 11/08/2006 12:07

I can confirm Franny has a tiny arse.
also tall.

LiliLaGuillotine · 11/08/2006 12:11

lol Harpsi
'waist strangled to death'
handy if she ever wants to wear a corset type thing though

WatTylermoonfiend · 11/08/2006 12:26

F&Z, in the interests of sucking up to you WITHOUT undoing all my good work by spelling yer bloody name wrong, I would like to say you are a vision of originality, style and freshness
(And don't get it caught on doorhandles as you leave the room - I tried to flounce out of the sitting room last night and my scarfy belt got caught, yanking me to the floor in a most undignified manner. Humph!)
