T&S do Dublin…and Pat Kenny


Didn’t go to the Style in the City event myself although it sounded like a fab day out. In the few days leading up to it Trinny and Susannah were all over the place. I heard them on Today FM with Ray D’arcy and then like the rest of the nation I was not watching them on the Late Late. I usually would have a flick over until it turns cringeworthy. Normally it is Pat making me uncomfortable. On this particular occasion it was T&S that made me flip over.

They were doing a great job to start sharing the philosophy that I try to talk to my customers about. Figure out what you like and what isn’t so great and work around that. Then Pat got them to share with them what were their not so great points. Trinny showed off her rubbery bottom and explained that her crotch was at her knees etc. hence the need for long dresses high heels. Susannah how she hated her large chest that merged with her tummy.

I don’t mind them showing off their bits on telly, perhaps it is a way to liberate other women. They have nothing to be ashamed of, and that is part of their bit. However, when focusing on Susannah’s tummy they just happened to have behind the couch a pair of their shapewear knickers…pure shameless prostitution.

Not a huge fan of any sort of shapewear as “it” does have to go somewhere. I am a great advocate of the big knicker or tights with no underwear for smoothness. But their original magic knicker, despite the shameless promotion, looks like it could give smoothness without too much discomfort.

The key to good smoothness is getting the knicker/pants/trousers whatever over the biggest part of your tummy. I see lots of women wearing the low rise with a muffin top, not good. Sometimes the best trousers are---dare I say---the elastic waist because they can come up to your boobs if need be. Also trousers that FIT would eliminate overflow. For heaven’s sake buy the bigger size if they are going to fit you properly!

I plan to do a trial of T&S shapewear in the coming weeks. Don’t worry I won’t show my bits on the blog!

Stay stylish!
