I think Gok is great! Unlike your typical makeover ice queens he seems passionate, sincere and genuinely interested in the women on his show. Once met some members of a film crew who'd worked with him and they said he was great (they had a lot of negative stuff to say about various other diva-ish TV presenters).


Go Gok!

Ahhhh, AnnaJ - I love Gok Wan - I didn't see that particular programme, but yes,I often shed a tear. (Also thank you for your kind words about my fashion sense .... not sure I agree, but lovely to hear!)


And to be honest David Carnell - from what I have read Gok Wanm was actually bullied because of his weight problem. I think that probably explains his empathetic and compassionate approach - rather than being critical and demeaning like other fashion gurus. Our experiences shape us in the same way that apples and cocaine might shape our exterior selves!


Hoorah for Gok Wan!

Oooh, DC - don't worry.... I hope I didn't sound too stern .... I'm very protective of poor Gok, aren't I?


Taking of makeover/ trash/ self-help telly - did anyone catch Fergie doing her stuff... I watched the first episode but not last night... she was with a family up North sorting out their diet. I actually liked her. Knocked the socks off Gillian Quack McKeith - or whatever that witch's name is ....

That's "Doctor" Gillian McKeith to you, James!


I think she's more like Skeletor from He-Man myself.

Spot the difference!

Oh, Annaj, I saw that programme and it was fantastic - I don't usually like reality TV but I think his approach is excellent. Good on the woman, and good on "Apples Gok".


And BB I have refrained from offering you any advice on the tights/leggings thingy because I live in trousers and know nothing about dresses. (I tried to wear trousers to my wedding and only wore a dress in the end because my poor mother was so distraught.) But I'm sure you will look amazing, and confident. If you're feeling bold but not quite turquoise bold, what about tights/leggings/socks in a purple-toning shade of deep pink?

But Moos - if I was tall like you I'd live in trousers too! Most of the time I look like a farmer's wife in trousers...

Ooooh, wedding dresses - I loved mine! Not that I could fit in it now .... I was two stone lighter then... can you imagine - two stone!

Mmmm, don't think I'm brave enough to do deep pink - I fear I will look like Zandra Rhodes! Though with her strong connection to the Bellenden Regeneration area that probably is quite befitting...

I like Gok and think he has a fantastic attitude to women of all shapes and sizes but do think having seen a couple of the programmes that they are terribly formulaic. Also I simply cannot believe that women who claim to hate themselves THAT much would strip off in public.

What an interesting insight...


For my 2p, I can't stand the leggings thing, either wear tights or nout ffs!


That said, I know nout about what's in and what's not, and I find a lot of trends to be really ugly, so I'll shut up.


It's at times like this when I am so pleased to be a bloke!

Hee hee Keef - even I'm a little shocked by this thread.

I mean here we are on our second page of discussing tights versus leggings versus knee highs... and we still haven't solved the problem of world peace.


And I blush to think that I have been responsible for the most vacuous thread on the forum to date.


I'm a very serious person really. Even when wearing turquoise knee-high socks!


Right next up ...waxing, shaving or sugaring ...relax, I'm kidding...

It is the context I don?t get it?s mentioned in-between waxing and shaving. So I?m assuming it has something to do with hair removal. I just cannot imagine how one could use sugar to get rid of hair.


What do you do, sprinkle it on? Rub cubes on yourself? Does it rot your hair away in the same way it does your teeth?

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
