knitted on needles extra large and you are not of elfin appearance, then don't kid yourself you look cuddly or like a sexy feminine Starsky or anything like that.

I am wearing one now, because I am ill, and I look shocking. I look twice as wide as high. Indoor use only. I can't think of anyone who would look good in this abomination.

Poinsetty, it;s shocking how you can reassess all sorts of looks when you see yourself on CCTV! I am thinking of getting CCTV installed in my bedroom, the mirror lies.

har. I am slightly delirious but I did not go out wearing this monstrosity. My bedroom mirror (as I was trying to clean it) couldn't have shown me a worse reflection.

I imagine myself to look like the women in the mags, all cosy and snug and lounging around drinking coffee all day.

In reality, it just makes you look scruffy and fat.

IMVHO.

It's very sad. They always look so glamorous and smug.
