For All You Gok Wan Fans Out There

[secretsquirrel]

Hmmm. I'm seriously tempted. I always wanted to get a set of the pics they did on HTLGN so I'd have something to smile about when I'm old and wrinkly

Some days I think I look pretty good, other days I just feel like I've lost the ability to know what suits me anymore. And, as I approach those difficult 'middle years' I feel I could do with a revamp at someone else's expense

Fuck it. I'm gonna send them an e-mail and see what happens.

Probably nothing!

mmmh gok wan..... think they have missed 3 letters of the end of his name to be honest

Apparently his programme is called "how to look good naked"? Yet from what i have seen it isnt a programme on sports nutrition or exercise, no, its another sh*te programme that encourages women to believe wearing different clothes makes you look more or less attractive. Wearing black does not make you look slimmer you look like a fat person wearing black! Wearing pin-stripes doesnt make you look taller you look like a short fat person wearing stripes.

Have you seen the show?!

 

[Melinda]

Gok does actually seem to like women - old Trinny and Tranny seem to hate us,

Did you see their show last night? It was

They actually had BIG ladies on, women with mega-arses. So far so good, however being Queens of Humiliation they had the women get an arse cast!!

Their problem arses CAST IN BRONZE. Oh what a jape, all girls together!

Except when the arse bronzes were revealed in a gallery, the women were upset and humiliated because THEIR MASSIVE ARSES WERE CAST IN BRONZE!

Who the fuck in the production team thought that was a good idea?!

I'm tempted... I feel so sad that so many women have a crap body image and/or feel on some level it's conceited to be happy with your body. I'm happy with mine, but that doesn't mean I think it's perfect or go around boasting about. Yes, it has flaws, but I don't give a shit. Women don't need slebs moaning about how much they hate parts of their bodies - they need to see normal women around them being happy with what they've got.

Didn't these women stop to think before they agreed to an arse cast? It's a bit like agreeing to go on Jerry Springer and then crying when your husband of 30 years tells you he's leaving you to marry your mum.

Fuck it, I have a huge arse, and if they wanted to cast it in bronze, I know a few people who'd buy one

I think all the urbanite women should apply!

 

[Ceej]

Yep, lets apply en masse - maybe they could do a Christmas special with the wonderful variety of shapes, sizes, colours and ages available - between us we are the cross-section of Urban Woman 08!

I would rather eat my own foot than have my arse cast. Why do women put themselves through this? At least you KNOW the Jerry Springer mob want to marry their horses (flat foreheads and not too many surnames in the village) but these seem to be reasonably intelligent women - is TV really so intimidating and pressurising that your brain turns to soup?

We've all been beaten about the head about body shapes and what suits us and doesn't - I think most of us know what works for us (assuming you can find it - my problem usually!) but I think Gok's approach is a bit more useful - trying to see yourself as other's see you. Some people genuinely loathe what they look like, not in a body-dismorphic way, more of a mild distortion/focusing on the worst bits way. I find it interesting how supportive the men and women in the street are - they
invariably find something to praise, are a lot kinder than you'd expect and focus on the positive. I think it can make some people see themselves a little differently, which, in the long run, is a lot more use than a beautifully tied scarf in a flattering colour.

Arr I quite like Gok, but I've got gappy teeth, four eyes, and flat feet, suppaaamodel material I'm sure!

None of those will rule you out I'm sure!

Thing is, its not about being a supermodel. You have a distinctive style and the confidence to carry it off, which is more what they are looking for.

Go on zenie - go for it!

He's straight.

No he's not.

Gok Wan is a closet heterosexual. He does all that "girlfriend looks amazing!" shit just so he can cop a feel. You just watch the crafty b*stard - he gets more titty action than Jeff Banks ever did.

It's very rare that I meet an irritatingly nasal, effeminate gay man who doesn't have at least one very fat/unattractive female friend. Maybe they are really good friends, maybe they're not but I can promise you this much, what drew him to her was the 'two birds with one stone' logic of having someone that both makes him look better by comparison and won't try and steal his boyfriend.

Interestingly if you spoonerise his name it reminds me of the housekeeper in father ted proclaiming a loss of a chinese cooking implement.
