@polarbearpaws my George isn't too large - about the same size as the last Tsar of Russia, what a tragedy that was. Although my George did spend time in the Navy and got a tattoo, but nowadays it's all about holidays in Bognor Regis.

After a mad and stressful week this thread is giving me life!

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 20/09/2024 18:37

I hope you don’t mind me asking but are you looking for PR representation as my good friend Patsy Stone (who loves an updo and a statement necklace) reckons ‘you’ve got it all’ and you could earn a fortune:

  1. paid Insta endorsements. We are thinking medical grade skincare not injectables. We can write a blog for you - just sign your name on it - and eventually we can go for branding in your name. Sort of like a regal Hirons?
  2. a reasonably upscale fashion line collab. Possibly evening wear? Take over the Tess Daly/Strictly market. All in the best possible taste, no Amanda Holden thigh splits allowed.
  3. to become the ‘face’ of a major jewellery line. Obviously not slumming it at Tiffany, go straight to Asprey. Patsy had recommended we turn down requests for bedding ranges at Primark, sofa ranges at B and Q, and anything to do with weight-loss. She says she saves those gigs for Fergie 😂

You cannot be a day more than twenty five because your nasolabial folds look so very soft.

polarbearpaws · 20/09/2024 18:42

@MaryofTeck He was in the navy and has a tattoo? He sounds like a sturdy, vital chap.

I don’t think I’ll make it on Sunday, not feeling very well suddenly, it might be a touch of the pox. My mate Dave had it last week and went through 3 boxes of lemsip in a week. cough

MrsMoastyToasty · 20/09/2024 18:48

Nice frock! Is it M&S?

MaryofTeck · 20/09/2024 18:53

@PeggyMitchellsCameo I'm overwhelmed. What extraordinary possibilities! You're quite right about Tiffany - I once saw Princess Hilde von Darmstadt in a Tiffany necklace which I assumed came from a Christmas cracker!
All this sounds simply marvellous. Patsy sounds like an absolute stalwart. I would love for my style and beauty to be of benefit to other ladies, so I'm game, as the late Queen Victoria used to say.

No, dear. Vinted. As in, it used to belong to Queen Charlotte, God rest her, but such beautiful dresses.

Why thank you! That's regularly moisturising with goose fat.

Oh dear. That does bring back tragic memories of my dear Albert Victor. Still, just after the funeral my George proposed, so it all worked out well. Kind regards to Dave.

Hopefully it wont get reported by posters like mine did lol.
However i did manage to get my hedgehog back on MN.
I think you look no more than 25.

Your hedgehog? No call for that kind of filth on here!

Well it's impossible to tell with all the necklaces. Post another photo without them and we can see the real you then.

There is no photograph of me without necklaces.

You look fab, but I think you need just one more necklace to complete the outfit.

Urgh hate these types of posts. Why do some women do this? OP you're going to get everything from 20-200.

You know you look good for your age! Your smug rich smirk tells me so.

Why thank you dear. Although I had just eaten a large Dominos pepperoni with extra anchovies, so unfortunately the smirk isn't a smile, but an indicator of slight digestive discomfort.

You don’t seem to have any work done, and take good care of yourself. I like the multi layer necklace, very cool.

I reckon you are 27.

😘I do take care of myself. Or rather my servants do. It's non stop when you're an influencer.

Easily the best Style & Beauty thread ever 💅🏼

Until today, I only had eyes for Ma'am Darling herself, HRH Princess Margaret, No more, it is now all about Mary of Teck. A true icon for all time.

@DannSindWirHelden they could do airbrushing on old b&w photos, they'd retouch them afterwards I believe. They also used a technique called 'dodging and burning' to adjust exposure etc
