Does anyone else not "get" Agness Deyn?

[peacelily]

I'm sure she's a brilliant model and all that and I've nothing against her personally but I just don't get where all the acolades come from.

she's not originalshe's a total 8o's re-hash and I don't think she's stylish either I just don't get all the hysteria TBH.

I've not seen her in any particularly high profile campaigns either, can someone tell me what's all the fuss about???

She's in the London free papers every single day without fail and I agree, she's nothing special. I really don't get it either. Maybe it's an age thing.

who?!?

her.

oh. She looks forgettable.

I'd like to know how you pronounce her name

I find it irritating how she's always posing with a wink and an open mouth

(Should really find something better to get worked up about)

Grazia are obsessed with her. Makes a change from KM at least.

Wikipedia biog. Silly name, imo. Worked though.

It's a made up name as well.

I believe (having heard something on the radio once,) you just pronounce it 'Agnes Dean'.

I would like to know the pronounciation too. I only see it written as she never seems to make it onto the telly or radio entertainmnent news. Well, not when I'm listening.

So is it just Agnes? In which case why the irritating spelling?

Numerology, spidermama - supposed to be 'lucky'.

I think she looks very American

So you've spelt it wrong in the title peacelily. It's Agyness according to the Wiki entry.

i think she is really cool but then i am down with the kids.

Oh yes Jackie. I've read the numerology bit now.
Tsk.

Yes Grazia fawn over her every week, puts me off buying it, I know models don't have to be traditioanlly "pretty" to be models but I always thought there would be something dramatic and striking about them, I mean she's striking but only because she's an 80s throwback and has short hair.

My dh has just said he knows who I'm talking about and she's rubbish

I think she looks rather fab.
Like a sort of cyborg avatar you can turn yourself into (as a fantasy, note) and then get anyone you'd ever wanted (in a cyborg way). I don't think I'd like to be her, though, in actuality.

She's got a lovely down-to-earth Manchester accent, rather surprisingly.

But what does she actually do?

Another shining example of femininity for our daughters to follow then.

'cyborg avatar' [grin

I agree, but that's not a good thing, surely?

I had a haircut similar to her short but long fringe one (not bleached). But I cut it when somebody told me I had hair like hers Actually she copied me

Well, hence not wanting to wake up as her, if you see what I mean. I think she's a bit complicated, what with actually being called Laura (but that not cutting it) and all.

she does nothing, they all do nothing. it is depressing. i think i will move to the Galapagos's islands and raise dd with the giant lizards as role models.

She's tall with long limbs and an androgenous face. Other than that, instantly forgettable. A new media construct now that Kate's become a bit of a disappointment.

She was in Jonathan Ross once and she's OK - but totally forgettable. Agree with the earlier post re eighties throwback. We all looked like that back then (apart from the Brosettes, but no-one spoke to them anyway)
