Trinny and Susanna from Boom to Bust

[dellzeqq]

Wonderful stuff. The new T+S programme within a programme about a programme is designed to have their critics cursing in to their ovaltine. There's everything you could ever loathe about them - posh houses, in jokes (even David Furnish puts in an appearance), ridiculous caricatures of agents, nannys, commissioning editors and relentless self-promotion as an end in itself.

The Cillit Bang joke is hilarious, Trinny's lips are plumper than her bottom, the clothes are a scream. I imagine 95% of all Cycle Chatters will hate it. Me, I'm loving it.

I'm in the first camp I'm afraid.

I know who they are but I can't say I have ever seen one of their programmes.

I thought it was an absolute cracker! Must say, they've gone up about a dozen notches in my estimation. Brilliant stuff - and all credit to them. Selling knickers at the golf & tennis show was just sublime....

*Ahem* Used?

 

[Fab Foodie]

Trinny and Susanah are OK by me... Couple of posh-tarts, what's not to like?

There were here a few weeks ago, apparently, offering up their style tips to the Dutch. A friend saw them exiting the opticians.

 

[ChrisKH]

Mrs KH is a fan. I tend to go and play in the garage if they come on. So to speak.

 

[ttcycle]

Ah I see Simon, this is where you get your style tips from....

 

[dellzeqq]

give me accessories or give me death!

 

[ttcycle]

back in my styling days (yes, I know I repent for those sins against humankind) they were well known for taking the credit for a stylist they employed on their show- read the credits...I do have funny stories to tell about this side of the world...maybe better in person!

Would you like a waist cinching belt Simon? I reckon it would look super atop your Brompton.

Not a fan myself.

All the adventurous activities, sports and experiences in the world that could be promoted - which would increase people's participation, health and self confidence - yet the media beam programs about 'fashion' and 'image'?

I can see there is a market for it, but I believe the world (and the UK) would be a lot better place if media emphasis wasn't so aesthetically orientated.

I (personally) don't give a rat's arse what people 'look' like. I am more interested in them as a person, and their experiences.

Vacuous 'clothes horses' with redundant synapses do nothing to stir my interest. Sure, you have some John Woo shoes (or is it Jimmy Choo?), but who ARE you?

What have you done?

Inspire me, interest me, enthrall me?

I want to hear about you skinny-dipping in Bali, riding elephants in Malaya, playing 'bush 2 up' with Aboriginies in Kalgoorliee, and skiing by the light of flares down into Zell Am Zee.

Then (with your inspiration) I would like to try something new.

Reeling off a shopping list of your latest 'fashion' purchases would bore me.

 

[Archie_tect]

Wow CP, would love to try any or all of the above... except perhaps Bali- one must retain a sense of decorum in all things.

Was their docu-soap written by that self-obsessed bloke from The Office? oh, you know the little fat one.

These two do for fashion what Gillian McKeith does for Science!
