For me, Leona Lewis. She's so lovely looking, and talented, and her clothes are always awful. I'd love to slink her up.

What's up with her dresses fimbo (not a Strictly watcher, me)?

ruby - not allowed. You have to choose someone famous (unless you are famous?).

Was goining to say the same thing Ruby!

Could do with a complete make over!

Fimbo · 17/11/2008 11:01

They are just gross. Hideous things like someone in their 60's would wear to go ballroom dancing. Mind you last night her boobs were hanging out.

I am dying to do this for my choir

old ladies with long witchy hair
young women in droopy ethnic peruvian jumpers
middleaged women in mens' fleeces and scrunchies

All intelligent and talented and some very wealthy

so much potential

sort it out!

midnightexpress · 17/11/2008 11:04

Sounds bad MrsB. You picture them very well. Are you the sole beacon of taste and elegance among them?

My gardienne. She is really quite pretty, and young, but always looks a total fright - awful clothes (think floral overalls and slippers), overlong hair in a pony tail. And she is currently pregnant and literally bursting out of her clothes.

I keep wondering whether to buy her a maternity outfit as a present but don't know how she would take it....

angelene · 17/11/2008 11:06

Duffy. She is beautiful and has a very retro look but she always looks dreadful. On the EMAs she looked like she should be on a cruise ship.

MrsBadger · 17/11/2008 11:09

No, there are a few of us
and some of them scrub up very well for concerts

I didn't realise you were in prison, Anna8888.

TheCrackFox · 17/11/2008 11:16

I would love to give Trinny and Susannah a makeover. They always wear horrible clothes.

midnightexpress · 17/11/2008 11:20

crackfox. It would serve them right. Bossybootses.

MrsB - all hope not lost then. they're just not making an effort .

There's an English mother at my DD's school who desperately needs help. I don't really understand why she hasn't managed to evolve of her own accord after 2+ years in the playground - she really sticks out like a sore thumb...

freshprincess · 17/11/2008 11:31

Victoria Beckham, she always looks so uncomfortable. Give her some trainers, slouchy jeans and a baggy jumper.

Oh and a bag with a proper shoulder strap so she doesn't have to carry it on her elbow (this serioulsy pees me off).

MrsBadger · 17/11/2008 11:32

Include some makeup remover in the Victoria Beckham bundle...

Ronaldinhio · 17/11/2008 11:34

I heart VB

Her style isn't for me but I heart her nonetheless

Ronaldinhio · 17/11/2008 11:35

any apple in high waisted trousers

midnightexpress · 17/11/2008 11:36

I expect a shoulder strap probably spoils the cut of VB's jib, hence the crook of the arm nonsense.

Though I like the idea of de-styling the over-styled. CZJ another candidate for this.

keira knightly often does overstyled dress down grunge

saythatagain · 17/11/2008 11:41

I would do Tess Daly too; every week another odd dress that does her no justice at all...tut tut

snowleopard · 17/11/2008 11:41

I was itching to do Hilary Clinton throughout her campaign. All those awful, awful suits cutting her in half right at the widest part of her hips, and 1985 hair.

Also if anyone watches the Scottish BBC news in the morning - Catriona something-or-other who reads it AND the poor weather woman who comes on after her are both seriously in need - me and DP make them over every day. Catriona looks like a frustrated goth who is constantly being told by her bosses to wear something ladylike and messing it up, while the weather one always looks like a buttoned-up primary teacher who has just had half her clothes ripped open and her hair disarrayed in a mad passionate roll in the hay and not had time to straighten up.

Oh god I hope they are not MNers who I will meet at the xmas do
