Shallow I know, but Sarah Brown has appalling dress sense and a terrible figure.

Anyone's going to be outdone by the gorgeous Michelle Obama tbh [schoolgirl crush emoticon]

It's not normal to have a great big belly!

sarah is better looking than michelle

Of course having a saggy arse and bad posture mean nothing in grnad scheme of things.
However, I'm amazed that people can't see that making the best of themselves isn't a Good Thing for both thm and those that have to look at them (partic. in light of fact that people would be falling over themselves to help you out.)

Great big belly? ffs, Anna - pack it in.

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 02/04/2009 18:15

she doesn't have a great big belly

you are fucking deluded

AnybodyHomeMcFly · 02/04/2009 18:16

Just clicked on that Mail link, God they are such bastards aren't they, can't believe it's meant to be a women's paper.

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 02/04/2009 18:16

I have a bigger belly than her

I'm perfectly normal thanks

what's your excuse for being bitchy?

is that normal for you?

LuluisgoingtobeanAunty · 02/04/2009 18:16

anna, you have been living in paris too long

that is not a belly.

that is a slightly rounded stomach

a normal stomach after carrying 2 children

a washboard stomach you have to spend hours in teh gym to achieve and eat restrictively is not normal

she is NORMAL, i thikn we have forgotten what real women look like

fattiemumma · 02/04/2009 18:17

the outfit in that picture is ill advised i agree, but Michelle O's is equally awfull and yet she is hailed as a style icon.

can't see anything wrong with her figure though.

Not entirely sure you can hold Michelle Obama up as an icon of style in whatever god awful thing she's wearing in that photo.

Habbibu · 02/04/2009 18:17

It just bugs me that this is what women - fucking sensible, intelligent, thoughtful women - decide to do to other women - slag off their clothes and the fact that -oh my god - she doesn't do enough sit-ups. Why not critique what she does? And if you don't think she does anything, talk about why or why not.

blouseenthusiast · 02/04/2009 18:17

I think she looks absolutely fine and suitably dressed and her figure is fine. Michelle, much as I love her, looks like she's going to a picnic on Happy Days.

izyboy · 02/04/2009 18:17

Admittedly that does not appear to be the most flattering of skirts. However it could be that angle at which the photo was taken. Normally she dresses apppropriately - she isnt flash.

Saltire · 02/04/2009 18:18

at least she didn't turn up wearing this

SoupDreggon · 02/04/2009 18:18

there's nothing wrong with Sarah Brown's outfit although it is a size too small. She must be dreadfully uncomfortable in it.

nickschick · 02/04/2009 18:18

I think her outfit is unflattering - I wouldnt go as far to say she has a great big belly but I would say that she doesnt carry that style of dress well.

js1000 · 02/04/2009 18:18

She is not a fashion model ......I think, she is a great wife and a mother who looks perfectly presentable and represnt a lot of us .

Comfortabel and relaxed is fine for a misty Tuesday in 12 Wisteria Drive.It's not bloody alright for 10 Downing Street for G20 summit.
I hate all of this 'let it all hang out' mentality.Makes a mockery of feminism.

I'd much prefer to have a PM's wife with a "great big belly" (bolleaux to that though, she is just a normal woman) who looks like she has common sense and empathy with us mere mortals to some egocentric ex-clothes horse rake who used to shag married rockstars, then moved on to married politicians and inflicts her breathy "music" on the world.

Sorry, rant over, had no idea I felt that strongly

izyboy · 02/04/2009 18:19

I think some people are a bit silly and over prescriptive about body shape.
