One of the few guilty pleasures that we have at frontpose.com is that we
enjoy a bit of reality TV none is cheesier or meretricious than that of
the Desperate Scousewives. Overtly used false tan, hair extensions and
plastered with make-up is a look that many of these stars have adopted
and the term the ‘Liverpool Look’ has been conjured up.
Many of
these reality shows that depict life in Great Britain such as ‘Geordie
Shore’, ‘Made in Chelsea’ and ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ have come into
perdition because of the success ‘The Jersey Shore’ has had in the US,
fashionably the British have followed suit.
Although we enjoy
watching these reality programmes, the people behind these shows do not
understand the overall effect that their shows has. The characters they
portray stigmatise the overall population of that area. The success of
these shows would leave an everlasting effect on young adults and
children or anyone as a matter of fact, viewers would constantly be
exposed to these reality TV character’s look and think that it is the
norm for that geographical area, we doubt that anyone would approve a
ten year old going for a tan and being plastered with make-up.
It seems that we are not the only one that is concerned with this
issues, the casting organiser of Liverpool Fashion Week Amanda Moss has
expressed that models that are emulating the ‘Liverpool look’ will be
banned. This is a testament to the view point of many stagnant members
of the fashion community in Liverpool. Shows like ‘Desperate
Scousewives’ have infringed the Liverpudlian fashion culture.
Our note: We don’t mind that these programmes exists but what we do not
want is to go into an area of the United Kingdom and see that everyone
looks the same that would be too surreal.
