Gok does men

Interesting to see Gok Wan do his first makeover on a bloke in last week's How To Look Good Naked. The chap in question certainly had his demons, having suffered from serious curvature of the spine but now lacking in confidence because he was so skinny. (Would that we all had such problems as being thin!) To bulk up he would wear layers of T-shirts under everything. But like most people on this programme, he suffered from his own perceived image of his body not reflecting reality.

Of course, when it came to dressing the man, Gok could have put him in anything and he would have looked great - especially the skinny suit he was given. Not exactly a challenge, then. I like what Gok does but perhaps he is less confident in dressing men. You'd think, as a gay man, it would be no problem. But then I could never dress women....

Roll up, roll up!

Is it just me, or is the fashion for rolling up the bottom of your trousers really annoying? Not only does it reveal an expanse of - often sockless - ankle (not the most exciting part of the anatomy), it shortens the leg line to stump proportions. Yes, it's another summer fashion best left to youngsters and those who have the physical resemblance to a rake, but still there are those on the streets who should know better.

Just take a look at the wedding pics of Swedish singer Peter Joback (should have been this year's entry to Eurovision instead of the dirge they sent) to his boyf in Stockholm last week. Not one but two sets of hairy ankle on view. This just won't do...
