    I see your tipple got whacked in the budget sjay.

    They must have heard how much you consume and thought it worth while raising the tax on it :rotfl:


    How can you judge if clothes will suit someone when you don't have any idea what they are like?

    Who do you vaguely resemble ws?

    I have raised that before....

    You can however say what's nice and not. and also what seems to suit their personality.

    Thats a good idea- who do you look like- or perhaps- who would you like to look like, i mean, who are your fashion icons? :)

    I still want to know what hair is ''long'' and if people really think I sound well kempt as LJ suggested. Considering I spend most of my daily time up to the knees in mud???

    Last time I got anywhere near well kempt...and near, not...there, was my weekend away....well kempt meaning I wore smart shoes and evening jewelery...I still had slightly wild hair and managed to ladder my tights...(took them off in the ladies when I realised.)

    The boots were accidental, I bought another pair I looked dreadful in.

    I don't really look vaguely like anyone. A pi key version of Monroe shapewise maybe.

    I look vulgar. I hate how I look

    I think long is longer than mid shoulder-blade maybe?

    I always imagine you well groomed but in an out-doorsy way IYSWIM :)

    Hey, buck up You gave me a lecture on moaning. I certainly look a bit vulgar. You can't really look ''classy'' with curly hair like mine and extra weight. But you can look like you have a good time and enjoy life and colour.. I think the former pales next to looking like someone want to spend time with.

    To me, and I know it is all pixels, you sound effortlessly classy.

    Nothing, not even reality, will ever change my mind.

    SJ is the same. I see this tall, elegant female.

    Don't even start me on LydiaJ

    I hate you all............

    I look in the process of being groomed..i.e. wearing a mud pack. Today I wor white trousers to walk the dogs/feed the horses. OK, it was obviously the act of an idiot, but I doubt I made it to the car looking well groomed. My horse coat the bottom half of the arm the outer layer had ripped off. I won't replace it till I'm thinner ...I tried coats on had a tantrum and decided to shiver some weight of if the coat actually disintegrates. I scrub up ok, but well groomed...would be pushing it. I look like I had fun on the way to the party....not on purpose..I'm just that sort of person. I'd like to look well groomed:o
