Re: Clothes spotting!

(it's a cap from The Gladiators which I just happened to be watching a few scenes from today...)

But the shoes Joanna has on are season one--Betty wasn't working in TNA at that point.

I never noticed she wore these shoes on set, but I do assume she got to take a lot of Purdey's home, as she did with the clothes they used on AbFab as well.

Haha, that's Ok.I never noticed she wore these shoes on set, but I do assume she got to take a lot of Purdey's home, as she did with the clothes they used on AbFab as well.
I'm still not sure whether they are the same shoes or not, but speculating is always a bit of fun too, right?

Purdey's wardrobe was a bit odd too, and some of the clothes she wore were really strange I think, but Joanna is one of the very few lucky women who can basically look good in anything, haha.
), but for the context of the series I like them, all the different colours and trims. I actually like them better than the leather suits, but I know I'm in the minority. Emma has gorgeous suits in the early episodes, though, and all her black and white abstract Jean Varon by John Bates outfits--very sixties and amazing to look at. She also had a lot of minidresses--there's a pink one with a jacket from The Hidden Tiger that I just adore. I would happily take all of Emma's clothes. Purdey, sadly, didn't fare nearly as well--a lot of her clothes are pretty awful. I honestly have to say that Gambit had a better wardrobe. But I like her red dress from Dirtier, the black slit dress from Medium Rare, the blue short one from The Lion and the Unicorn, her pink wooly ensem and her suit from To Catch a Rat, and the red one from the start of K is for Kill. They should have put her in simpler, more tailored clothes and fewer floral patterns.

I dunno but it's as if she hadn't no respect at all for the show.
We don't do that.
As if she wanted to avoid the Avengers Era. It's hurting me.Joris wrote:As if she wanted to avoid the Avengers Era. It's hurting me.






It's almost the typical Joanna outfit now, isn't it? It does look lovely on her, still. I was suprised to see that she didn't mind wearing it on screen again though.

I know it's silly, but I just didn't realize it. I only paid attention to the lines and the cast of the ads.
I really love Twiggy's ''perfect little black dress'' and her pinky coat - they're really nice.

I know--I just saw they had the little bar down the side with all the stuff. Won't let you but Joanna, Philip, and Stephen, though.

That's a real shame, I agree
