Finally watched last Sunday’s vlog.
Last few weeks she has looked very elegant in those pink and navy suits. This week she sported a bag lady look. Someone like Trinny could possibly pull off the long frock, white moulded breezeblocks and tent like mac - but not somebody as diminutive as MAM. She looked a bit batshit. Less said about that furry tote the better. Why not play to her strengths and wear fitted stuff. She is too obsessed with trends and that overrides any sense of style. The hotpotch way of dressing doesn’t suit many people, it’s not going to suit a small elderly lady. The belt (£330) is clearly bait for Matches to take note of her.
The chat show - good that it isn’t going to be her that films it, her camerawork was terrible this week. She says she wants guests that aren’t on Norton or Ball’s show and she will film it on her sofa. She is going to end up with Clary and Nadine Baggott, and I reckon Clary won’t go to her flat.
I went to an event at the Palladium a few weeks back. It was Gyles Brandreth’s birthday and the event was in aid of Great Ormond Street. Apart from Gyles it was all about the Dames - on stage with him, just chatting were - Judi Dench, Twiggy, Joanna Lumley, Patricia Routledge, Penelope Wilton, Sheila Hancock, Floella Benjamin, Eileen Atkins, Maureen Lipman, Harriet Walter and Joan Collins. It was a very entertaining night, one of the best events I have ever been to. They were so funny, with things to say that weren’t about how they looked, they were elderly women who were enthusiastic and had joie de vivre that wasn’t about skin potions and clothes to impress 30 somethings. They were just comfortable in their own skins. (The only exception was Collins who came on at the end, recited a poem badly, and who clearly thought she was the star of the show - she wasn’t.) If MAM could get Hancock, Atkins, Lumley, Benjamin (who looked AMAZING) and Lipman on, I would tune in. But sadly I don’t think they are the type of guests she has in mind.
Dave looks well for 64. I would put him 10 years younger. He should pass on his skincare tips to her. That expensive stuff she was touting - nah, absolutely no difference.
