    I thought the dresses were great too bubbles & FC. I would probably wear one if I was 20 years younger and a couple of sizes smaller!

    I like the style, they make a statement and show off the figure without horrible shapes and patterns (I hate Pucci with a passion).
    yikes i thought you were male. :o

    btw i thought fc123 was male too until i saw the tagline a while ago. same with pasturesnew until a read quite a few of her posts when i first joined the forum.

    i can be a lil thick a lot of the time

    Oh alright then, I cannot lie, I am a woman...

    I just tried the video link but it keeps sticking...I will try again later or tomorrow.

    I can't work out why people used to think I was a bloke (being very unblokey in Real Life).....perhaps we should all gender our sigs. Age would be handy too...

    It's just the default assumption on t'interweb. Seems to be assumed that anyone with an opinion (unless it's about mascara) is male.

    I keep thinking I should add a witty sig...then find when pushed I'm really not very witty.

    Just putting 'I'm a girl' seems a real cop out though:rotfl:

    Just ask Mewbie to do one...he's great at funny sentences that match the person or situation.
    I've got to think up a new user name too.

    I don't know why people think I'm a bloke. That's why I put my avatar in, which is a picture of me that I put through Simpsonize me (www.simpsonizeme.com) . I do look quite like my avatar in real life - just without the pearls, with an additional finger and a bit less yellow. Maybe I need to dress my avatar in one of FC's slinky little numbers, perhaps the one with the funky coloured boobies. That might do the trick.

    I've turned avatars off. There were too many bottoms, though very lovely bottoms, they are all a bit....well...lacking in taste for me. And ad's avatar flashing was a bit of a nightmare too...set my nerves t!!!!!!! like crazy...so you're all just names and no pictures to me :)

    ETA: I don't know why it censored my nerve pain? oh well...ad's avatar flashed, it hurt me ,and it put the deathnail to the pictures of lovely bottoms.

    Ahhh... that explains things. Though if you haven't already done so, you should try simpsonizing yourself, it is great fun. And if you do turn your avatars back on, you'll possibly find that the bottoms have gone and the sock puppets are in. Boys will be boys...

    plus have been dressing Barbies in Real life too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rHXeWxN3cw&feature=channel

    The whole point of niche is that it's not for everyone....many think my work is hideous but a few love it....so no jibes about Startrek perleeze...it's an 80's Trash, Boootyliscious Vibe ;) and that's the point I guess.

    The fun just never stops ;)

    Brilliant and vibrant - the dresses that is! Like others, I would have worn them a few, erm quite a lot of years ago.

    Just showed the video to DS - he's the Saturdays' no. 1 fan - he didn't think the Barbie label appropriate though. :D
