I blame it on budget cuts in the police force -since they introduced the new uniform for officers on the beat they can no longer afford hair stylists and make-up artists.

Shes stuck in the late 70s bless her

muggglewump · 08/07/2010 15:17

It's like three separate and bad hairpieces stuck to her head.

WarrenPeace · 08/07/2010 15:17

i think the side ones conceal a police radio

TubbyDuffs · 08/07/2010 15:18

Oh good God, I tramped over here to look expecting some weird and wonderful Amy Winehouse meets Kevin Keegan (circa 1974), it isn't really that bad, not good either granted, but really not newsworthy in itself is it.

muggglewump · 08/07/2010 15:21

Not that bad?
Are you actually Sue Sim?

NewHouseNewLife · 08/07/2010 15:27

Do you think if this carries on, she will get a 'softening' make over a la su bo/ Tony Blair... to make her more 'approachable'?

She obviously hasn't got any real friends, cos they would defo tell her about her hair/eyeshadow issues.

poor woman.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 08/07/2010 15:48

How shallow do I feel now, I really thought I was the only person to notice how bizarre her hair is.
Not sure that NewHouse's statement that she doesn't have any RL friends is true. Maybe she does but when she goes out on the tug, they look good in comparison. Who knows.

WarrenPeace · 08/07/2010 15:52

ladies we are ALl shallow

TubbyDuffs · 08/07/2010 15:53

mugglewump no not herself, but am in serious humidity at the moment, so am scraping hair back into a bit of an essex facelift at the moment, so tbh her hair really doesn't look that bad!

muggglewump · 08/07/2010 15:56

Ah, Tubby, now I understand.
I wish I had that dilemma, it's fecking freezing here with no humidity as such, it just chucks it down instead

ShatnersBassoon · 08/07/2010 16:00

I wonder if it's a case of police helmet hair. Do they still wear helmets? The important ones wear caps of some sort don't they?

tiredemma · 08/07/2010 16:01

she looks like my stepmum.

Oblomov · 08/07/2010 16:01

out on the tug ? ha ha, love it.

oftenpurple · 08/07/2010 16:11

I think she just came back from deep undercover and hasn't had time to get to the hairdressers. I've never seen such large amounts of green/lilac eye shadow on a RL person before.

But completely understand that she has far more important things to think about in general but to be fair, she wears a uniform so it's not like she has to put an 'outfit' together in the morning and do hair and makeup.

muggglewump · 08/07/2010 16:17

If my Mum was alive, she'd probably covet that hair, thinking it 'trendy', but then she had a cauliflower perm
(she also loved small town boutiques and once purchased me an outfit from one when I was 18)

FessaEst · 08/07/2010 16:20

This thread has really, really made me laugh!! Poor, poor Sue.

I love the idea of her sneaking off from startegy meetings and news conferences to log in to MN on her iPhone (not that she looks like an iPhone kind of person, one of those old bricks with a long aeriel (sp?) would fit "the look" better!).

Seriously though - a woman in a position of authority, and we MNetters are judging her look not her abilities. Shame on us!

tabouleh · 08/07/2010 16:20

What a hideous thread this is.

If anyone reading this feels uncomfortable then you may be interested in reading and reviewing The Beauty Myth for the Feminist Book Club.

I despair, I really do. There are so few high ranking female officers and here you are all pulling her APPEARANCE to pieces FGS.

Cabatach · 08/07/2010 16:20

I think the way she looks and speaks make her seem rather fierce...which I suppose is necessary in her job!!

deaddei · 08/07/2010 16:55

I was waiting for a post like tabouleh's

Cartoose · 08/07/2010 16:57

Maybe she keeps her lunch under there, pops out a bread roll whenever she's hungry.

Cartoose · 08/07/2010 16:59

Or maybe she's listening to those huge headphones under there, waiting for the world cup scores perhaps.

Cartoose · 08/07/2010 17:00

< I know, shame on me, shame on me. I know she's doing a very important job etc>

WarrenPeace · 08/07/2010 17:03

but tbh if a bloke copper had hair like that id be worried too

Adair · 08/07/2010 17:06

I was waiting for someone else to agree with me . I haven't read the Beauty Myth but have heard of it.

It's just HAIR.

WarrenPeace · 08/07/2010 17:07

its never just Hair adair
