Like she is some oil painting!

Have been to her store in HoF and the space is good but the clothes awful. I am in my sixties with silver hair, part of the group targeted and would not be seen out in most of them! Rather go to the other franchises in the store such as Biba, Coast and away from there Zara and Gap and actually loads of others but not Mary's

I went in there today, I thought the clothes were nice but a bit too expensive for me. Interesting to see the guy who worked in evening wear (looks like the guy out of Sparks) with the funny mostache was now working for Mary and on the till. Also saw the Scottish manager and the guy who nearly got sacked for missing the train.

"Can you imagine the kerfuffle if it was a male making such a comment?"


Depends on the man. If it was Gok Wan, no, if it was David Cameron, yes and everybody else somewhere on a scale between the two. I think most people would just think there's that fashion pr/women's fashion retailer trying to sell more women's fashion and that's it.

Hate to break this to you, but she has said that over sixties are not her target age group, you (and I) are too old :))


I haven't checked her shop out but from the clothes shown on the telly I don't think I want to - most of them looked vile and like something my mother would have worn, and that's not a compliment.


Don't think she's a great advert for style either, tbh, in the first programme of the series she looked absolutely terrible in most of her outfits, looked like she'd visited one of those people who tell you to wear scarves with everything to "dress up" your outfit.


Bitch over :))

What were the dildos like?


Seriously, she's big on all that stuff.


I think she's got to knock out about 400 a week to break even.


Imagine, that's 800 batteries each week going into landfill.


Or maybe there's a re-chargable one you can keep plugged in next to the Braun toothbrush.



It makes sense.

Quite pretty and very expensive.


But they wouldn't let her sell them, because "we're a family store, how will people explain them to their kids?"


:))


ETA: Bit bizarre selling dildos in a dress shop, no?

No not really.


I often think dress-dildo.


I get dressed/dildoed up most mornings.


Often at the counter I say "Have you got a different size, this ones a bit loose"


Really, why not, I like to feel comfy.

As...


I happened to be working near-by today i just had to go in.


The entrance is divinely atmospheric & almost club like.

I can also report that the "arm-oury" ( tights for bingo-wings ) were selling like hot-cakes.


Indeed.


I did see a few ladies trying on the slash neck envelope dress too.


Put it this way......"Return to sender"


And on the show, I thought she was taking over the whole top floor. However, in reality "Mary" takes up a space not much bigger than the floor space of the Actress.


Oooo how that camera lies.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
