BBC2 MARY QUEEN OF SHOPS

[RTKangaMummy]

SHOCKINMG DREADFUL WOMAN

nooooo. that's what was so fab imo.... she wasn't another overstyled tasteful lady of a certain age... why shouldnt she do fashion? so it's a bit more difficult to always get that right / some people won't like your look.....

oops!

exactly controlfreaky... I think she looked fantastic. I hate the snitching about women of a certain age. The pink tights were brilliant and she looked fab in them with that skirt. Leave her alone!

Er, I am of a 'certain age'. I still think the beige leggings were a bit grim, on anybody of any age. Come on, the woman (though undoubtedly rather splendid) makes a living out of being fashionable and critising other people! She's not Aung Sang Suu Kyi.

dont talk about her like that. i love her.

I didn't like the boots, because she looked as if she couldn't walk in them, but that was my only criticism - if she'd been striding along confidently in them, they'd have been fine. She is fab.

You are all a bunch of lezzers
(disclaimer: tis a joke!)

But she has to do fashion doesn't she? Her partner is in fashion. It just wouldn't do if she wore nice slacks and a chanel jacket.

I'm soooo getting my hair cut like Mary. Same shape face. Unfortunately not same shape body.

Mary Portas is a total fashionista who was on the board of Harvey Nicks. I don't think she only dresses to please her girlfriend!

So MD- we all slack every now and then and I didn't say to please her GF, maybe she competes with her

I watched this programme with considerable interest. I am thinking about opening a boutique now we have relocated. I do think that I picked up some handy tips from that show.

I was particularly struck by the mannequins which they hung from the light fittings. I thought it gave her shop a little something extra. i also liked the green wallpaper she had and the garden in a glass case. It was a lot to fit into a fairly modest sized clothing boutique wasn't it?

I don't imagine she will keep her old clients after what she said about them.

Love Mary but she did dress the slightly larger lady in bad clothes - including a faux chanel jacket.

The boobular among us have learned never to wear a white shirt (gapage, not enough shape) with a chanel type jacket (too boxy).

Better than Amonster's efforts but definitely somoone who only knows how to dress the only shape that fashion people know about.

Agree with Mercy that MP should come here for a live chat. We can ask her where she gets her hair cut.

I think they are a legal requirement in Ascot.
