There’s nothing grim about Grayson Perry, is there?

CrushingOnRubies · 26/08/2025 21:14

Again! They need more time. I was stressed watching that. I do not watch sewing bee to be stressed

I vaguely know him as a female impersonator who has a creepy view of feminine attire but hadn’t been interested enough in him to know about the “ baby doll” connections although it figures. Shame no real artist as an inspiration

He's not a female impersonator and he's a great artist and potter with interesting ideas about art.

He's openly admitted getting a sexual kick from dressing as Claire.

I do like his pots though.

I've not heard that about the kick, but even if it's true, why would it matter?

This is all true.

He just enjoys dressing as Claire in dubious way, but it is performance art. I do find his admission of getting off on it horrid, but he is a good artist. I just separate the two things.

Pancakeflipper · 26/08/2025 21:19

Awwww Yasmin will explode with joy !!!

murasaki · 26/08/2025 21:19

Anyway, Yasmin's dress was the best.

Yes. Grayson Perry creeps me out. I can't understand why he's the nation's darling

Yes creepy

murasaki · 26/08/2025 21:21

Gaynor is surely gone this week. Although I do keep forgetting Stuart is still there....

Pancakeflipper · 26/08/2025 21:21

Gaynor's head could spin trying to make a statement with this task.

HeadNorth · 26/08/2025 21:23

Grayson Perry’s recent exhibition was brilliant, he is a fun and inspiring potter and I also loved his tapestries, really wild & colourful.

I’m bored of Gaynor refusing to step out of her comfort zone. Yasmin and Kit seemed to have palled up, they both did a great job, it looked a really difficult challenge.

I remember him saying that he’s disappointed because now he’s known as a cross dresser he’s lost the shock / outrage reaction.

CalamityGanon · 26/08/2025 21:25

Get the impression Gaynor doesn’t want to be there anymore. Getting ‘can’t be bothered’ vibes off her.

murasaki · 26/08/2025 21:25

Gaynor did look totally discombobulated by the mere idea of asymmetry. She's a great sewer, but creativity is not her bag.

Because it’s creepy and misogynistic and bordering on a sexual fetish?

But I can still like Eric Gill's work, and Picasso's. Despite them both being wrong uns.

CrushingOnRubies · 26/08/2025 21:29

Come on Esme you can’t give a blue fabric with subtle paint in it to use and then winge there’s not enough colour

murasaki · 26/08/2025 21:29

Orla to win this one?

PullTheBricksDown · 26/08/2025 21:30

Both Kit and Caz made very minor errors but I knew Kit would get second ahead of her 🙄 Orla was great - I'd wear that one.

I don’t think he is. People in the media and creative industries may like him and give him a lot of publicity but most people wouldn’t really pay much attention to him.

Pancakeflipper · 26/08/2025 21:31

Good one Orla - I think it was clever to be able to think of and execute the details in that in such a short space of time.

GenieGenealogy · 26/08/2025 21:32

Gaynor's sewing skill is not going to keep carrying her as her creativity is just not there AT ALL. Stuart is coasting.

LillyPJ · 26/08/2025 21:32

SabrinaThwaite · 26/08/2025 21:26

It's not misogynistic and lots of people have fetishes - if they don't affect anyone else, it's nobody else's business.

TheMadGardener · 26/08/2025 21:33

Either Gaynor or Stuart are clearly going today.

I predict a final of Caz, Kit and either Orla or Yasmin.

Agree, Grayson Perry is creepy!

Eric Gill was a criminal abusive incestuous perverted monster. Grayson has a kink, no suggestion it isn’t consensual, you can’t even begin to compare them. Adults are allowed to enjoy non vanilla sex.
