I can't actually form an opinion on the hair as I am still goggle eyed at her teensy frame- she really doesn't look well or happy, I know some people are naturally thin but she doesn't look well.

that was my first thought too Nbg, I bet JLo felt like slapping her.

My second thought was "Ohh I wonder if anyone as posted it on MN yet.....I hope I'm teh 1st one"

with all that money I can't understand how her skin is so bad.

I had a friend at college who had terrible skin but her resonabley well parents paid for a private dermatologist to treat her and it cleared up after a few different treatments.
Posh must have really bad skin for it to still be so bad.

She always wear so much slap though, that can't help matters.

I think she has alluded to having PCOS, which often plays havoc with skin. I can't help feeling that her weight doesn't help either (anorexic folk have awful skin too).

RubySlippers · 09/09/2008 08:55

she can do short hair

BUT the insane posturing

so camera aware all the time

odd

but she looks good with it

TheProvincialLady · 09/09/2008 09:00

You can see her scalp through the hair. If she didn't have so much product on it and expensive clothes and makeup on she would look just as she is, anorexic with hair loss.

Kewcumber · 09/09/2008 09:00

lovely hair but how does she hold that giant head up on that tiny stick like body? Not an attractive look overall. J-Lo shos her up totally and is paler than her despite being Latino (note to MrsB, don't out tan someone naturaly tanned if you want to look good)

WilfSell · 09/09/2008 09:04

Her skin is so bad because she has well-reported PCOS...

Kewcumber · 09/09/2008 09:05

PCOS can also cause hair loss (less common but not rare)

noddyholder · 09/09/2008 09:09

I saw a headline in a mag in the newsagents saying 'i've put on weight and feel good' or something but she looks skeletal in those pics and ill if she wasn't caked in make up For the first time ever looking at her i feel sorry for her she looks so sad

lucykate · 09/09/2008 09:12

i think it's a wig, she's not pretty enough to carry off such a short style

NomDePlume · 09/09/2008 09:13

lol Kew.

She does make me feel sad actually. She has everything. A gorgeous husband (although obv his past indiscretion is a bit of a blot on his CV), 3 lovely little boys, a lifestyle that means she doesn't ever have to worry about where her next mortgage payment is coming from, access to the most glamorous, beautiful, luxurious holidays/cars/parties/clothes/homes.

I know that somebody will come out and say 'but she's under such media pressure' but she doesn't have to be. She could be much less 'visible' if she chose to be. There are many 'celebrities' etc who manage to keep a relatively low profile and actually have a life of their own. Her need for fame is destroying her

noddyholder · 09/09/2008 09:15

She needs constant reassurance it seems and she uses the media to try and get it.Someone needs to tell her to step out of the glare and just live but don't think she could

lou33 · 09/09/2008 09:15

i like the style, not sure if it suits her

she looks way too thin (and orange)though

bundle · 09/09/2008 09:17

much better hair, she has obv ruined it over the years and a tiny frame suits short hair better imo

southeastastra · 09/09/2008 09:19

i think she's a bit like a pet that over grooms itself through boredom

MaryAnnSingleton · 09/09/2008 09:20

I saw a photo of her in very casual baggy jeans and an ordinary t shirt and she looked a hundred times better than when dressed up

Guadalupe · 09/09/2008 09:20

Oh I like it. I met a mnetter by accident in the summer who has hair like that and it looked lovely.

Agree with weird posturing though, what is she doing? She looks sort of jerky and stiff like she's got piles or something, particularly next to jennifer lopz who looks nice and relaxed. Bet she thought she was a prat.

bundle · 09/09/2008 09:21

agree she makes j-lo look normal

TsarChasm · 09/09/2008 09:27

I quite like it.

I know she always looks so miserable, is too thin blah blah, but I have to say whenever I've seen her being interviewed she comes over as quite self depreciating and with a good sense of humour.

DumbledoresGirl · 09/09/2008 09:27

Don't like her hair. Don't like her look.

Feel vaguely sick looking at how thin she is. Check out picture 4: you can see the spare skin on her upper arms, and in picture 5 she actually looks little different to some pictures I have seen of poor concentration camp victims.

I don't care what the woman does to herself but it is dreadful to think that she is a role model for other women/girls.

beansprout · 09/09/2008 09:30

What does she actually do? Am listening to R4 to a man with MS who is a vicar in Baghdad and VB's hair matters?!!
