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.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
