have a stylist on 'Mary Queen Of Shops'? I like her and want her to be able to dress herself. I can. And nobody laughs so it can be that hard.

Yes, I agree with you. I think they do too - but maybe not all of them.

I follow both statements below when I go out.

Maybe she just needs to know what looks good on telly as opposed to in RL. It's not always the same thing.

They often seem to have gone into business with surly men in bad jumpers too don't they? Also without exception - very dry hair.

I like 'on trend' and 'fashion forward'. I like the word fashion.

Nah. It's so that someone does her shopping and has a rail of clothes for her to pick from. Makes life easier that way. I use Cod for similar purpose.

I don't really like Goks new programme. Why can't he just find high street tat clothes to go up against the vastly overpriced tat designer clothes? Instead of going all Blue Peterish.

Apparently she was married and has grown up dcs, but now lives with her female partner. (Bloke at work is friends with her brother and knows her too - says she is lovely).

Wasn't Trinnys DH addicted to painkillers or some such. She was photographed in Hello without her ring, my Mum told me. She's so skinny it probably fell off.

They never said 'fashion forward' or 'on trend'. They just grabbed people's tits and made them feel bad in a mirror.

Now our Mary says things like 'I'm not your fairy godmother, you have to work it.'
