I have had a look through the last two days posts and haven't read anything about Anne Dawson. Not her appearance in the red dress (which was shocking) but about her constant talking. She was on for three or four hours and never shut up. It was unbearable. She talked over the guests, didn't bother giving the sizes and said nothing that was helpful or of interest. She just kept wittering on and on and on. The Ronni Nicole lady couldn't get a word in and Basso was clearly frustated with her.
Did anyone see the little episode where Sharon was sitting on a chair, clad in fake fur and DB said that he was going to walk over and stand behind her because they looked like a fabulous couple?? Well Anne trotted over too and pushed herself in making an already slightly embarassing situation even more awkward. Basso implied that he and Sharon were the glam couple whilst Anne was merely the nanny and should trot off and look after the children. Then he said that in the US people always picked plain nannies to avoid the hubby running off with the help. Clearly implying that Anne was very plain.
I can't stand Dennis Basso but I did get a certain amount of pleasure because Ann Dawson was just awful. She also implied that the powers that be had kept her and Basso apart for five years because they caused too much trouble; as if they had too much fun together. I suspect that he prefers to have a presenter who shuts up now and then.
I don't normally mind AD but she was terrible yesterday and should have been reined in, shut up and sent home.
Then we had Charlie. A man presenting fashion is acceptable and could actually be productive because a man would give you the sizes, ask about or point out the cut and design of the outfit without gabbling on about how they love this dress and how they are wearing the small blah blah blah. BUT Charlie was almost as awful as Anne with that false "Play School" like amazement at everything. Also, he askes how tall Tanya/Goody/Jo/Amica is and then says "on the rest of us this dress will come to the knee". Why don't they just give us the length of the dress!!! If it is under 40 inches I won't be buying it. Simple!
Then we had Glenn who was really quite rude to Joy. Not intentionally I feel, but rude none the less. He said that the dress covered her lumps and bumps implying that she had them rather than saying, as they usually do, the garment will skim over any lumps and bumps that soem ladies may have. Joy actually reeled in amazement. What he said may well have just come out badly but he didn't try to correct himself by saying that Joys lumps and bumps were all in the right places. Which they are!
All in all an entertaining weekend - for all the wrong reasons.
