"No two ways about it... you're totally feminized up"

A quote from the wonderful Gok Wan, on "How to Look Good Naked". I caught it for the first time tonight because, well, I assumed it was just about looking good naked. Turns out it's all about (at least this week) finding clothes that emphasize your femininity, and make-up and beauty and stuff.

Me like. Gok is a gent, all the fashion skills of Trinny and Susanna with none of the condescending attitude. Seems a genuinely nice guy, he can feminize me up any day.

...

That came out wrong. :-/

NH  ...and with a raise of my eyebrow, we move swiftly on.

Gok Wan always reminds me of the guy at school who ran our fledlging computer club back in the days when you had a choice of using a TRS-80, an Apple II or a Microbee. You're right though, he's a more palatable alternative to Trinny and Susannah; two women who I thoroughly desest not just because of their attitudes, or the fact that one looks like Liz Hurley-lite and the other with the same squashy face and overhanging brow of Adrian Chiles, but because watching them you get the sense of what it must have been like to have been in the court of the Emperor just before he got measured for his new clothes.

They subscribe to the ultimate fashion crime: Dress over trousers. It doesn't look good, it never looked good, it makes you look a) pregnant, b) like you've got giant ass and hips and c) that you have something to hide. In T and S's world, everything can be solved by wearing a dress over a pair of trousers. No it can't.

Whilst I'm at ranting speed, maybe the panel can help me out. I keep mistaking orthodox Jewish women for trannies. I live in North West London, where Jew and Gentile live side by side in harmony, but the auburn bobbed wigs, the extra layer of make up to cover facial hair and the insistence on wearing heavy black tights in all weathers makes me think Golders Green is a tranny retirement home. I keep thinking that Transmission has been moved to my local but of course, these are really women...erm, I think.

Becky  Meh, NH is just an ex-tights-fetishist, really. ;-) 
NH  Like ex-smokers, ex-trannies can be quite vitriolic. Let's put it this way, I have yet to see trouser-skirts or dress over trousers look good on anyone. 
Mariana  Clinton Kelly is my favorite tv celebrity imaginary friend. 
Siobhan  @NH - you've just been looking through the wrong Flickr streams. Dresses over trousers were invented purely because they look shit-hot on me
