Haha, it is kinda ironic indeed, but a compliment at the same time: Dawn and Jen usually parody stuff they quite like right? So I guess they just liked the show. :lol:

Haha, really? Have never seen that, but nothing suprises me any longer after I saw the 'Monsoon' stores in England - my mum and I found it both highly amusing, haha.

Yeah those stores are all over the country apparently. There's one in Den Bosch that I know of, and apparently there's one in Amsterdam too.
Fancy looking for that store, just to take a picture of it? :lolol:

Purdey's a nice name, so I'm not surprised someone jumped on the bandwagon. They might be paying tribute to the shotgun Joanna named her after, too.

No Avengerish store names over here, I'm afraid. Just the cheekily named FCUK (French Connection United Kingdom, if you can believe it :lol: ).

We've found her!! :lmao: I wonder if she has the same voice too. It's rather sad, living your life as a look-a-like, isn't it?

Oh my God! She looks so much like Joanna!! They could be twins :lol:
But I agree, if being a look-a-like is what you do for a living, that is a bit sad.

She does seem rather proud of it - in the end, she's more playing the part of Patsy than Joanna, right? It's just strange though, I would never want to make money trying to be someone else.

An AbFab fanpage on Facebook. They're so many out there, but some are really popular, and people actually contribute stuff. Genius, innit? :lol:

Oh and actually I know a chain of clothing stores in the Netherlands called Purdey. Awful clothes, but love the name of course. I wonder how them came up with the name :lol:


There's an energy drink called 'Purdey's' too ...

It's vile tasting, btw ...
