I’m sure we can all be guilty of being a hypocrite at times. We’re only human. We make mistakes. Some mistakes are bigger than others but that’s the beauty of life; we live and we learn.
Some of the mistakes will go unnoticed. Some of them will be made under the glare of others. And some, some of these mistakes will be made so publically you can’t help but draw attention to them and have a laugh in the process.
I take the piss out of celebrities. It’s something I’ve always done; I just can’t help myself. If I see some piss taking worthy material then I’ll jump on it and ride it like a metaphorical horse. I do it in jest. There isn’t a need to ever get personal.
Just last week there were a couple of fashion faux pas (to me they were faux pas but to the editor of Vogue they could be huge fashion wins; who am I to judge? After all, I buy my clothes in LIDL).
First up we have the lovely Caroline Flack.
Personally, this dress she wore to the Glamour Awards last week reminds me of a toilet roll holder my dear Grandma had c.1990. If you’re of similar age to me, you’ll know the ones I mean.
It’s not for me, but Caroline liked it and that’s fine.
Next up we have career fashionista Victoria Beckham. Now, if she wants to rock the Lime & Orange Tic Tac look, who am I to critique?
We all have different tastes. We all like different things. The world would be a very dull and uninspiring place if everyone wore the same; I can appreciate that.
Caroline Flack’s choice of dress grew criticism from someone else this weekend. Someone a little (a lot) more well-known than myself.
Fiona Phillips.
Once the anchor of Breakfast TV (remember GMTV?), she now passes her opinion via a tabloid; The Mirror. Ms Phillips has a column in the Saturday edition of the newspaper. I rarely read it myself, I prefer The Times (check me out eh?) but on a Saturday my other half buys The Mirror for his Barber shop and brings it home for my Nan. Love her heart.
I had a peruse. A quick flick through if you will. When something captured my attention.
It was a photo of Caroline Flack in said toilet roll holder dress.
“Oooooo, maybe Fiona Phillips’ Nan had the same toilet roll holder” I thought.
Not quite.
Not quite, indeed.
OK, Fiona, bit odd this one. Caroline Flack is a 37 year old woman. If she wants to wear something low cut, so what? She can wear what the F she wants. I doubt her Mum cares. If you have to seek the approval of how much flesh is appropriate from your Mother at 37 years of age is that not a bit strange?
It must have been a slow news week for Fiona. Perhaps she liked the aptly named headline “Flack from Mum” and just went with it.
I tweeted my opinion. As only I can. Besides, I happen to think Caroline Flack’s boobs looked quite comfortable. They didn’t look like they were making a bid for freedom in the toilet roll holder dress.
Twitter is a revolutionary tool you see. Because it connects you to so many people who are always happy to join in the conversation. You can learn a lot through Twitter. I certainly have.
Oh hi, Fiona Phillips. I hope you’re keeping warm on that moral high ground of yours.
And I trust you sought Mother’s approval before heading out to the TV Quick Awards? Because call me old fashioned but I wonder what Mum thought of this?
Haha! I can’t believe Flack replied to you on this, that’s brilliant!
You’re absolutely right though, this is hypocrisy at its finest. Fiona probably winced at your tweet!
Haha, love you Rach! Who even is Fiona Phillips?! xxx
You’re funny. I don’t give a hoot about celebrities or their boobs.#MMBC
This made me laugh!!
#MMBC
My mum used to knit those toilet roll holders!
Fiona, no, no, no now my eyes are damaged for the day! X #mmbc
hahaha! This made me laugh out loud!
#MMBC
Great read as always – one days celebs will catch onto the fact that the internet has a looonnnnggg memory! #TriumphantTales
CAN NOT UNSEE!!! That tictac photo is spot on though! Im all about legs out or tits out, never both, but come on miss flack has more revealing photos out there than that outfit! Miss Phillips needs to do her research hahah!
Thanks for linking up to #TriumphantTales. I hope to see you back next week lovely!
popping back from #globalblogging
Oh my grandma had a toilet roll holder like this (but a pale pink colour instead). I bet she slipped merrily off her moral high ground after this tweet! #triumphanttales
I think Fiona is just jealous because Caroline Flack’s got better boobs #TriumphantTales x
haha awesome Rach…you’ll be on TV soon xx #triumphanttales x
Thanks for sharing with #bestandworst hun x
Great post, my kids catch me out when I skip breakfast or do something else I say they shouldn’t do #triumphanttales
Hypocrisy at it’s finest :-/ Made me laugh 🙂
Ha , ha I’m loving the tic tac comparision #bestandworst
That is so funny, ha ha ha – great post and yes, what was VB thinking with that Tic-Tac inspired ensemble?!?
Haha, Brilliant. I think a lot of our nan’s had toilet roll holders like that! Love that Caroline Flack replied to you.
#TriumphantTales
I don’t know who this is but she looks pretty good to me. i don’t know why, but its always kind of cool to get these responses. I keep tweeting at Donald Trump but so far he seems to be ignoring me #triumphanttales
Like, I know she’s written a book and had a fling with someone much younger….but who is Caroline Flack??? #BrilliantBlogPosts
Caught out! Love it. #brillblogposts
I hadn’t even noticed her boobs, but then I was being dazzled by the glare of Victoria’s tic tac outfit. Brilliant. #coolmumclub
Sorry should be #stayclassymama, it’s the tic tac glare, oops
Hilarious! ?
If I had those boobs they’d be out all the time. And my mum wouldn’t care at all! #coolmumclub
Brilliant blog post, bit of tongue in cheek never hurt anyone….My gran still has a toilet roll holder like that…it scares me!
Bloody brilliant! Gosh Twitter would be boring without you xx
This made me laugh so much. I do comment with my OH on celebs all the time and forget that they too are just people but as it seems they do it to each other too! Well played on Twitter and here’s to life being short and us wearing what we want X #brilliantblogposts
Brilliant! I love you got a reply from Caroline too. I presume Fiona didn’t dane to reply. You’re so right – have the thoughts but keep them to yourself. Each to their own and all that… #CoolMumClub
Haha, amazing! And Fiona’s boobs look far more likely to make a bid for freedom than Caroline’s did…
#coolmumclub
As a;ways I love your posts and so so true if your going to comment on others think first #stayclassymama
Haha, you always hit the nail on the head! So funny. #coolmumclub
Oh man, hypocrisy indeed! XD Reminds me of the time my dad tried to ‘tell me off’ for swearing on facebook (i was 30 at the time), whe nthe last time i’d seen him he’d gone on and on about how funny ‘Grimsby’ is. A film that is the f word every other word! umm what? haha xx #fortheloveofblog
Rach I know I speak for loads of us when I say we totally ‘get’ your sense of humour on twitter…good for you for calling out old FB and a massive high five for supporting Love Islands host with the most (can you get her to tweet us a series secret?!)
Wicked post – loved it. Thanks for linking up to #coolmumclub hun
VB’s son posted a picture of that outfit next to a carrot pen on Instagram. Which made me laugh. (It was in Metro, which is why I know about it). Brilliant post and a lovely comment from Caroline too 🙂
Back again from #globalblogging
I love your twitter chats! You need a book deal or twitter needs to be paying you. Brilliant. Fiona, shame on you! Cleary came up the headline and then tried to shoehorn an article round it. #FridayFrolics
I love Flackers. Great she responded. The similarities with the toilet roll holder are uncanny though! Thanks for linking up to #FridayFrolics
Haha, she replied to you! That’s brilliant! I love your comparison of Vic to the pack of tic tags! Thanks for linking up to #ThatFridayLinky
HAHAH I LOVE this! In your face Fiona Phillips!!! #thatfridaylinky
Haha! Caught out out Fiona Phillips! x
#TriumphantTales
Gosh, haven’t heard from Fiona Phillips in ages! Love your riposte! Good one! #fortheloveofBLOG
Good on you for pointing out that epic piece of hypocrisy!
Hi Rcah, that is funny! Being partial to taking part in a bit of celebrity ribbing myself I do appreciate your observation. I’m never going to be able to buy a packet of tictacs and not think of old VB. Luckily I can’t remember the last time I saw a toilet roll holder done out like a doll (my Granny had one, but that was years, & years ago!). Fiona Phillips say more about her and her relationship with her Mum than it does about Caroline Flack that’s for sure!
Thank you for linking up with the #MMBC.
XX
I love your no nonsense approach say it as it is briilant and fleck replied win win great read Rach Thanks for linking to the #THAT FRIDAY LINKY come back next week please
That comparison to the toilet paper roll holder is sheer brilliance! How on earth did you even find a picture of one! OMG! Too funny! And the tweet response, FAB! #FridayFrolics xoxo
Brilliant! ! Yes the dress was a bit loo roll holder ish but the boobs looked fine to me, and surely her choice with what she does with them! Always found Fiona Philips sneery! Well done you!! Thank you for sharing with #fortheloveofBLOG
This is awesome! I love it ? Made me giggle x
Mwah x
Becca @ mygirlsandmesite.com
This is very funny – great pic at the end! #bestandworst
Brilliant! I cannot believe she replied to your tweet. It makes it even funnier. I have to be honest not a fan of showing too much skin but then again each to their own. Thank you for sharing with #StayClassyMama
Haha! Hilarious! As an aside, I loved that the person who publicly trolled Victoria for her outfit you showed here was one of her sons (Romeo, I think). Also I once tweeted a joke about one of the CBeebies presenters and got a response from the CBeebies presenter in question (and I hadn’t tagged her or anything). At least I know she has a sense of humour. Thanks so much for joining us for #FridayFrolics
Brilliant! It’s always fun to catch out celebrities who are being hypocrites. 🙂
Thanks for linking to #pocolo
Excellent. What passes for fashion seems utterly bizarre to me a lot of the time, but then I am a middle-aged man who has never seen clothes as a priority! But I do throw my jeans away when they get ripped rather than buying them like that. #Brilliant
BlogPosts
It’s one thing to jest about someone’s outfit in the name of fun, quite another to shame them for showing their body! Thank you for saying something to the hypocrite who showed more boob in her black dress than the person she was criticizing. #GlobalBlogging
oh my gosh this is so funny, I remember those toilet roll holders, her boobs look great to me. So funny you caught her out on this one lol Practice What You Preach Absolutely #GlobalBlogging
Oh this is hilarious! You’re closing words, genius! #BigPinkLink
This made me laugh! Victoria Beckham probably spent ages working on her outfit but she does, indeed look like a tic tac! Lol and yes to the power of Twitter! Cool that you got a reply too. Funny PST. #globalblogging
Yes, hypocrisy is rife in that business. Thank goodness we have you to show them the error of their ways. Love that she acknowledged it on Twitter, but I bet Fiona blocked you for hating women ???
I women get far too criticised for what they wear as it is. #GlobalBlogging
haha that’s brilliant. Well done Rach #globalblogging
Oh my gosh, she said that? After wearing that? LOL.
Twitter is perfect for situations like this.
#globalblogging
Haha. I love the tic-tac outfit!
I feel like fashion rules have pretty much gone out the window that this point – if you can rock it…go ahead and rock it. 🙂
Thanks for sharing #globalblogging
I don’t know these people apart from Mrs Beckham, but the parallels were really funny. #globalblogging
Great read as always! Myums probably flashes more boobage than me! Haha #globalblogging
Appologies for not spell checking! ‘my mums’ should have said x
Those newspaper columnists are the worst, it reminds me of when Katie Hopkins was slamming people for having children named after places while she has a daughter named India! #globalblogging
Whoa, is Caroline Flack 37?! I always thought she was younger than me! She looks great, although I agree, I don’t like that dress at all, and my nan was also a massive fan of those toilet roll cosy things!!! Fiona Phillips really should’ve reconsidered that statement-as well as the hypocrisy, it cringingly makes her sound really old as well…! High fives for Caroline replying to your tweet!!
#bigpinklink
Love this post!
#globalblogging
Who cares what your mom thinks at 37? My mom hated what I wore at 16 and she hates what I wear now at 41 #globalblogging
ugh I hate how her comment is about breasts, too! so what! her breasts look great!! #globalblogging
bloody love that the Flack replied to you, and the tic tac thing with Victoria Beckham – spot on! I used to love those tic tacs mind #bigpinklink
Loved this even more the second time round. Silly Fiona Phillips – obvs a very slow news day as you say. She must have forgotten her youthful days when her boobs were out and about for all to see and nowt wrong with that, just shame she has to cast judgement on others these days. #GlobalBlogging
Popping back thanks for hosting #globalblogging
Love the tic tac pic 🙂 popping back from #globalblogging
Haha, hypocrisy at its finest. Good on ya for calling her out on it, Rach.
#globalblogging
Brilliant! People in glass houses and all that. I bet that made Caroline Flack’s day. What an odd comment to make, its as though she was talking about a 16 year old girl!
#GlobalBlogging
practice what you preach- not many people do that..
So funny … loving the tic tac one – back from #globalblogging
Returning from #globalblogging Still love this!
Brilliant as usual! #globalblogging
A celeb tweet! Very cool.
#globalblogging
The comparison photos – just brilliant!
Love your sense of humour Rach , glad I came across you on Twitter , certainly make me smile & lol ??
Must be due a new one soon I hope , keep up the good work .
The loo roll holder! Ba ha genius! I’ve no idea who either woman as I’m out of the UK celebrity culture but yes, Fiona Philipps clearly has amnesia or is just a hypocrite (with an odd relationship with her mum at this age). And frankly, she has boobs that are no match for the Flack woman. #BigPinkLink
Oops!! I wondered where this was going, but what a great ending!! She must have forgot about that dress… 😛
Ok, now I want done tic-tacs! #thatsatsesh
Now that is cool!!! #thesatsesh
Haha I love this! Definitely practice what you preach #thesatsesh
Brilliant! In your face Fiona Phillips! #thesatsesh
This is hilarious – you nailed it with that tweet. Tut tut Fiona Phillips xx #thesatsesh
This is brilliant and really made me laugh! I’m sure my nan has still got one of those toilet roll holders in her bathroom! #MondayStumble
Ha ha ha bloody brilliant! Never did like that bloody Phillips woman. #MondayStumble
Flack is flipping fantastic! I can’t believe that she replied to you too. I’m jealous #FridayFrolics
