Grifters indeed! Can we have a lift Joe?

H&M asked if they could have a lift home on AF1 after HMQs funeral.
Environmentally friendly sure, but makes them look grabby and entitled again. Makes for a good story though.

OMG - once you’ve seen it!

Meghan has always reminded me of VB. I think they look similar.

Roussette · 20/07/2023 19:17

I am going to do hand poses from now on! Must paint my nails first and put on my biggest fake ring. Grin

A friend of mine was a hand model once. She has absolutely beautiful hands. Nobody really notices hands particularly, unless you see a beautiful pair like hers, she could do it!

Yes Meghan is similar to VB. I think they were friends once.

Maireas · 20/07/2023 19:19

A hand model, you say?
I'd definitely be the "before" picture.

Ha wordler - I swear I had never seen that article before. 🤣 As I said I had first noticed it myself watching Meghan exit from her car at Eugenie’s wedding and walk several metres across the kerb and pathway to the receiving line of clergymen with her hand stuck in that position, and thought “WTF?”. 🤣

Here’s another pose Meghan favours - again, it takes an absolutely lovely photo!

What I noticed was how she consciously placed her hands so that her engagement ring was on obvious display all the time before she was married and then afterwards both rings. She would literally hold her hand up with the ring facing outwards. It just looked so blatantly staged. ‘Look! I’m engaged!’
The bump holding to me was the same thing. ‘Look! I’m pregnant!’ It was so cringeworthy, but obvious Hollywood mannered stuff.

Does she have a hand twin?

She'd be so lucky to find a hand twin.
My hand twin is Nosferatu.

Yes. She was in ads and mags modelling rings etc. I don't have fat fingers, but compared to hers, yes!
She used to wear rubber gloves for everything!

You will be annoyed with my next comment because I am speaking here as a black woman, but the racial dynamics of the Markle family have troubled me from the beginning. It is really, really uncomfortable to see the sense of "ownership" Thomas feels over his daughter. Almost as though he owns her, he made her, she owes him, she would be nothing without him, something he does not say of his white children. It feels very, very off.

I am not at all annoyed. As I said I respect entirely your own views and perceptions around race, and feel like this is something that you as a black woman, would pick up on in a way that others without your experiences might not. Whatever my personal thoughts are on Meghan, it’s clear she is the only child of the family with any “stardust” if you know what mean? And her father’s disgusting “it’s time daddy got paid” comment always made me wonder if she was supposed to be the cash cow that would keep his life comfortable as he aged. As for the gushing tributes on The Tig, that’s something I have often seen with toxic family dynamics - creating the parent you wish they were, rather than the one they actually are, also often there is an element of fear behind that kind of public praise too.

I wear rubber gloves for everything, they conceal my awful hands.

I have a thing for hands so I always notice them - I particularly appreciate a strong but elegant man’s hands - I was always impressed by how Kofi Annan used his lovely hands to great effect in meetings and speeches.

Even he knew the power of a good TRex

Oh, Kofi has lovely hands.

(I have just remembered - I tried the “hand by my face” in a photo I posted on instagram once, and lots of people told me what a nice photo it was - it’s definitely a top tip 🤣 )

I might try that, it should work if I put it across my face 😂

Serenster · 20/07/2023 19:26

Like David Duchovny as the world’s greatest hand model in Zoolander, who had his hands encased in protective oxygen chambers when not working 🤣

In Seinfeld season 5 episode 2 - George becomes a hand model.

I read they had a big fall out because Meghan accused VB of leaking stories and DB and H and a “discussion” about it, which ended in them no longer speaking. But who knows.

Maireas · 20/07/2023 19:28

Kramer becomes a model for Calvin Klein!

I'm gonna try two!

Howsimplywonderful · 20/07/2023 19:39

For some reason I have the line from the
lady marmalade song in my head all dah

(He met Marmalade down in old Moulin Rouge
Struttin' her stuff on the street)

this bit

She said, "Hello, hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?"
Oh, uh-huh

I can’t get it out of my head 🤯

Samcro · 20/07/2023 19:48

It must be hard to know what to do with your hands, I think camilla often looks like she’s not sure. Maybe that’s why the queen always had a hand bag

Maireas · 20/07/2023 19:55

That's exactly why! It was a bit of a comfort blanket, but also something to do with her hands.

Howsimplywonderful · 20/07/2023 19:55

It was much easier when they could smoke

Maireas · 20/07/2023 19:56

Yes, Margaret often had a ciggie and a gin+Dubonnet. Problem solved.

Got it in one!
