Anyone watched the new season? still brutal..if I hear 'capsule wardrobe' once more..:eek:

preferred when RTE had the programme Head 2 Toe on back in the 80s! Maybe it was cause I was younger but it was way better than Off the Rails. I think that Brendan Courtney is trying to be like Gok Wan and he most definately isn't.

I like it tbh. Think the make overs are really feel good, 'cause the people are always so happy at the end.

I like it too. Soyna is really good, and think she makes the make-over people feel good about themselves, as much as make them look good.

When has anybody on any of these makeover programmes seemed unhappy with the makeover? Which suggest to me that if you are not happy then your segment is discarded. I'd love somebody, somewhere to be heard saying
" This is a load of ****, get me my old clothes back" :mad:

:cool:is anyone out there watching this tripe tonight ??

havn't been watching too much of this lately but did catch it last week coming from some shopping centre and this week they're at it again.

how humiliating is this for people - up on the stage with all eyes on them being referred to as a "pear" / "boyish figure" - I know they put themselves up for it but the whole thing is awful.

and now Brendan "styling" another victim - he hasnt put a decent outfit on her yet

Just Awful Stuff

Oh god, I can't stand Off The Rails. It came on television one evening, I just sat there in shock. The styling was just ugly. They'd given this woman a really tacky faded denim jacket with brassy golden buttons...I nearly died when the price came up - 300 quid! Then her tiny string of a a belt - 90!
Who is paying out money like that anymore?
It's so dull, the crap they come out with, ugh. It's like they do a quick google of the trends before the cameras roll, they never say anything that I don't already know, and my interest in fashion trends is limited. Anyway, regardless of trends, some of the clothes they put on women have been really unflattering.
Also, that make-up artist with her top tip for liquid liner: to put it as close to the lash-line as possible. Honestly? Groundbreaking stuff, really. Next they'll be saying that mascara should go on the lashes.

LOL! couldn't have put it better myself. especially when the tricky art of liquid liner has so many tips available. and any make up artist worth their salt should be a fountain of them.

i think the problem is the difference between paris fashion, british fashion and irish fashion. and then there's the difference between what fashion designers decide to be in this year and what your average jo wears on the street. there seems to be quite a jump between london fashion and irish street fashion. when they do up the women on the show, they don't seem to take that into account.

ya know all that wierd "fashion" that's in these days that sort of nods to the 80s, but like in a "new" way. paper bag waist trousers, peg leg trousers, blouses. they tend to work on the young and trendy. if you put that stuff on a woman in her 40s, it's not ironic. it's actually what she wore 80s.

i think there's too much of a focus on the absolute latest fashions, and not enough on making what works for you look modern and up to date and right for you.
