No sorry, the girls look fab and fun loving let them enjoy. We can be too snobby down south. Oh! I would love to go and people watch. Okay I wouldn't dress like that but, it's their regional costume, just as equal to flamenco dress or a sari.

Sunflower100 · 03/04/2009 11:44

I can see your point.......but actually don't some of them just look like they are out having a laugh? The Daily Hate can't bear the idea that women can have (say it quietly) fun!

suwoo · 03/04/2009 11:51

Regional costume Are you taking the piss out of scousers Starbear?

Lizzylou · 03/04/2009 11:53

Lol @ Starbear
I bet there were lots of ladies looking lovely and classy, they just put the (ahem) slightly stylistically challenged ones in.

Whenever I've been to Liverpool I've been struck by how well dressed and attractive the women are tbh, obviously never met those pictured tho

Ledodgy · 03/04/2009 11:58

Ahem us scousers do NOT all dress like that. Lizzylou it must have been me you've seen in Liverpool.

TheProvincialLady · 03/04/2009 11:59

They do look awful but I think it's unfair to pick on ordinary folk and laugh at them like that. Slebs are fair game, it's what they do for a living, but I would be gutted to see myself in the paper when I had gone to the trouble of getting dressed up in my finery and thought I looked good.

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 03/04/2009 12:11

Man, a lot of curtain-less windows somewhere

Lizzylou · 03/04/2009 12:17

I think it was, Ledodgy, with all your sisters

Seriously though, I have been struck by how well groomed the women of Liverpool are, on various occasions, women of all ages.

suwoo · 03/04/2009 12:25

The woman of Liverpool do tend to take glamour very seriously. sweeping generalisation

Pinkjenny · 03/04/2009 12:27

Every bloody year we get these scouser-bashing articles, and to be honest, it pisses me right off.

southeastastra · 03/04/2009 12:28

what a two and eight

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 03/04/2009 12:45

Crikey, there are some cankles on show on those photos.

HarryB · 03/04/2009 12:50

Starbear, you know another way of saying "people watch" dont you? "Piss take"

Pinkjenny · 03/04/2009 13:00

I'm quite sure this isn't restricted to 'The North'. Am irrationally annoyed, particularly as all I have in common with these women is Liverpool.

PuppyMonkey · 03/04/2009 13:03

They do clash a bit don't they?

I like the snidey comments underneath about "you can tell they're from oop north." And someone has replied: "Yes, because they have personalities." Right on!!!!!

southeastastra · 03/04/2009 13:04

oh right it's their personalities which make them dress like that then, right oh

Pinkjenny · 03/04/2009 13:06

Dress like what? OK, so it's a bit, erm, bright, and their fake tan is too dark, but for god's sake, they are having a ball and probably think they look gorgeous. Who gives a shit!

Pinkjenny · 03/04/2009 13:07

And Regional Costume? WTF?

southeastastra · 03/04/2009 13:10

er two dollar whores
