Hmm,I'm not sure I feel 100% laughing and pointing at someone elses rituals

yes theres lots of polyester but...if it was another ethnic group would we be poking fun?

Thingumy · 18/01/2011 21:00

I'm not going to be laughing at them,I find their rituals and lifestyle utterly fascinating.

juneybean · 18/01/2011 21:01

If another ethnic group chose to wear HUGE dresses and dress their bridesmaids in every colour of the rainbow then yes I'd have a laugh at them.

juneybean · 18/01/2011 21:01

Plus I love the oirish accents!

WilfShelf · 18/01/2011 21:01

I agree with Cyb, although I have to say I enjoyed the documentary, but from an academic angle. I think the attachment to 'excess' and traditional gender relations (but all topsy turvey) is interesting in its own right, without us needing to resort to sneering.

AtYourCervix · 18/01/2011 21:01

you are right Cyb.

but I do really love the frocks.

mrsnich84 · 18/01/2011 21:02

juneybean · 18/01/2011 21:03

My goodness, a baby with painted toenails!

WilfShelf · 18/01/2011 21:04

A bit of critical feminist discussion of it can ease your consciences Grin

So. Shall I start then?

KenDoddsDadsDog · 18/01/2011 21:06

This is going to be really interesting.

I have to say, some of them are very well, erm, developed in the chest department for 16yos.

At that age I barely filled a AA cup [looks down at current A cups and sighs]

Grabbing?!!?

giraffesCantDirtyDance · 18/01/2011 21:10

LoopyLoopsIsNoLongerFestive · 18/01/2011 21:10

KenDoddsDadsDog · 18/01/2011 21:10

stressheaderic · 18/01/2011 21:11

Pink - you know, like the highlighter? Grin

theywillgrowup · 18/01/2011 21:11

juneybean · 18/01/2011 21:11

I was just thinking that giraffes, sounds a bit dodgy, "hurting" her to give you a kiss.

missy10 · 18/01/2011 21:12

'Grabbing' Shock

Thingumy · 18/01/2011 21:13

We have a site 5 miles from us.

And they ALL look like those girls in the programme.

The boys all dress dapper in suit trousers.

I'd love to know when fashion became more provocative for Gipsy girls.
