She looks better in stills with closed mouth. High cheek bones and size 4 skeleton due to malnutrition as a model, full lips. Perfect to highlight any wearable product; may it be a cosmetic or a clothing.

In the advert, she's moving about and talking shoite. There's a difference between a still image and a moving one; in terms of how we perceive them. Aggrandising a still is easier than hyping up a moving image. Then again, thanks to Photoshop and all that these days.

I quite like this girl's bravery and honesty with her teeth. Her tooth gap has become her signature, and by modelling with her imperfect teeth, she's sending out the message that not every natural God-given look has to be altered to please the critics. You could go as far as wearing mascara, lipstick, latex and starve to death to have a London model look, but leave your teeth alone as they are. I can see where she's coming from; from her 'signature' point of view.

I also understand that not all her critics (on SN and elsewhere) are oil paintings, but not all critics have to be as good as the object they provide their critique for. Not all media critics are much better than the target object for their critique; may that object be from any walk of life e.g. politics, art, entertainment, advertisement, pop corns etc. etc. etc.

Personally, I think she's good as a still model.

If fashion models are too pretty, people will want to look like them. If models are a bit meh, but if they can highlight their put on, the product will take the priority in the eye of the beholder. So, one doesn't have to be an Audry Hepburn to be a model. There're plenty of regular looking people in modelling these days. If you meet them in street, you wouldn't even give them a second look.

When I lived in London, we had a spot around our house with a stone bridge. Model agencies used to bring these undernourished models that used to pose under the bridge against the stone wall covered with fungi. Most of the models looked just average, super- starving people. No matter how much they were posing, their pathetic skeletons were in a dire need for a drip on a hospital bed. That's the impression I got, anyway.

That's the "anywhere USA" look.

Turbohot

I'm serious.

Ask any of the Taj Mahals here to put up their mug up on SN, they'll run a mile, and will make excuses e.g. "I'm such a very private person that it makes me love myself!" or "I'm such a non- attention seeker" etcetera. The truth is that they're so ugly that they daren't put their mug up. What if the Scoobynet shatters into pieces with the weight of their ugliness, eh? All talk and others' evaluation on their face value and nothing to show for; from self. So, in compare to that, not only the bravery and honesty, but also her confidence. She's a fashion model with her gap in her teeth, and where are you with your film star teeth, eh? Eating peanuts in your scooby, Ha!

"You" and "they" means everyone here including me, not just you, Joz.

I also wonder if GAP have thought of hiring Georgia May Jagger. I think this is a creative use of Georgia in advert industry.

Turbohot

I hear that Americans are generalised for their over-eating, not for London trademark extreme starvation and jaundiced looks. "Anywhere USA" look would be some heavy weight eating a mega burger, not fluttering their false, mascara laden eye lashes with an ounce of B12 injection strength.

I swear my teeth have got more crooked as I've got older: Get the yokel look





Seriously considering getting them straightened (and a damn good clean....too much black tea ).

I'm usually against cosmetic surgery in general - *****, lips (both types ) cheeks (both types ) fake tans, ecessive makup, tattooed/over-plucked eyebrows, botox etc. but teeth I'll make a exception to teeth, so long as they aren't like Rylan's.

Anna Paquin was another quirky one with dodgy gnashers. But then she isn't the front of a modeling/cosmetic industry.

Gfriend has most of hers Kind of filed to a point ( but not really ) , I'm not sure what that's about- i guess it's what they do in Zim

Nephew is similar

I remember the scoobynet WAGs thread a while back, some absolute munters on there, I wonder if its the same folk who have the apparent high standards.

You've read far too much into 'the intention' behind my smilies...

I just found those two quotes really nutty - I was simply just amused by the wording. Nothing more, nothing less.

Turbohot

Good teeth, Ali.

Funny enough, some people look good with crooked teeth e.g. Kiera Knightley. Her pretty face doesn't essentially distract you from looking at her teeth over teeth, but whatever they are, they make an interesting but not an unpleasant add-on to her cheeky smile.


Oh crumbs, not at all! I like your smilies. They even have good teeth! Edited to say- actually your smilies i.e. didn't even have any teeth, and even then they're cool. It were some other posts on the thread that gave me the opportunity to say what I said, and I took that opportunity while quoting your smilies to say what I said. So, all cool, man.

Ahh, I'm with yer, now.

Devildog

Keyboard warrior?

Are you oblivious to the irony of your posts?

Was I so wrong in my assessment? What part of "old, possibly single (or unhappily married perhaps?) ugly, unfashionable, socially inept trainspotter with anger management issues" was so far from the reality?

Put up or shut up Jeff

What, you don't see that coming on here and describing someone you have neither seen, nor met, and are unlikely ever to do so as keyboard warrior stylee?

Let's then take the rest of your rubbish and dissect it shall we?
"Old".....I'm 62...so what? That makes me somehow worth less in your opinion? Get real. I've lived longer and seen more than you...again, so what? Does that make ME better?

"Unfashionable"? And fukcing proud of it, it it means I've get away with once again wearing pointed shoes designed to cripple me, a daft hair style that costs £££, (mine hasn't changed in 30 years), and clothes that cost ££££££ and are worthless in two years because they "aren't in fashion any more". Get a life.

"Possibly single (or unhappily married perhaps?)" Been married 38 years this last July, same lass, we have been together 42 years, two sons, own my own home, retired early, happy enough with my lot and certainly with my marriage thanks v.much.

Ugly: Don't think so dude, my wife says not, and I had no trouble getting girlfriends when I was younger, thanks v.much. Maybe no fashion model NOW, but I am 62....are we back to the "old is no good" thing again? You need to grow up.

Socially inept: I think not. I have very widely ranging views, don't mind a decent argument, but can also hold my own in any social situation in which I find myself. I can talk about literature, art, music etc plus sport...the only thing I know absolutely nowt about is gaming or betting.

Trainspotter: I'll hold my hand up: I was. I am no longer as the modern scene is boring and repetetive.
But what, EXACTLY is wrong with that hobby? Is it any more stupid than, say, golf? Certainly cheaper, and if it amuses someone and hurts no-one, what is wrong with it?
Oh...I see...given the rest of your thinly veiled insults, you are using it as a euphemism (look it up), for someone who is somehow sub-normal.

You REALLY need to get out more dude........and try to argue your point WITHOUT resorting to insulting folk. It just makes YOU look shallow.

And before you even THINK of saying I was insulting Ms Ugly there, bear in mind that I haven't set myself up to earn millions with a humongous toothy ugly mouth.......

Matteeboy

Ahh, how sweet

Devildog

You've done exactly what you've criticised me of doing as you have made assumptions about me and my life, my intelligence and my age .

At 62 you should have at least learnt the importance of respect. Whether she has or has not set herself up to earn millions is irrelevant. She is clearly in demand - is that her fault?

And so its quite acceptable for you to refer to her as an utterly ugly bint, and yet when I suggest that you might be an old, possibly single (or unhappily married perhaps?) ugly, unfashionable, socially inept trainspotter with anger management issues you clearly feel aggrieved enough to reply in such detail... Lets add hypocrite to the list, shall we?

You're hilarious. Apparently I've to "get out more"? It's not me who's retired with 34,000 posts on here and who's taking the time to rant (again) on an internet forum about something that is so insignificant as to not be not worthy of mention, let alone getting so uptight about .

Tell you what Jeff, when I retire the last thing I'll be doing is wasting my life ranting on Scoobynet

alcazar

iTrader: (2)

So what will you be doing, oh great know-all?

PS: I do have other hobbies.........some might surprise you

Devildog

Who knows Jeff. No one has a crystal ball tat actually works .

Life has taugh me to live more for the present and so don't have a long term life/retirement plan of what I'm going to do.

Mrs DD is very much the same so who knows where we'll be/what we'll be doing in 12 months time.

We'd like to travel a fair bit, go "off grid" for a while perhaps. Experience different things that working prohibits to a greater degree. See where it takes us. Won't be wasting time on the internet however.

PS - You were right about unfashionable The jury is out on looks (doing ok for 62 though ) and at least you've got all your own hair (unless its a toupe )

How the holy hell do you know that??????????

Matteeboy

DD is a bit of a master stalker....

But come on guys, all very childish for a pair of adults.

What's wrong with not having a full head of hair anyway ;-) the ladies love it

Devildog

Matt, you crack me up.

Its not stalking. Its simply following the clues of publicly available and in fact subject volunteered information. I guess however it is my business to be able to find stuff out and have been trained in investigation techniques (albeit on a more finacial basis)

It took me precisely 4 minutes to find Jeff's full name and a picture of him using nothing more than a couple of search facilites and google.

The term "stalking" suggests obsession and malice. I just do it for a laugh to see if I can . I'm not serious - although I can't vouch for Jeff

PS - Who are you kidding with the "full head of hair"

PPS - On that subject Jeff, good colour retention too - not too much grey to be seen
