Simply Gok Wan Lingerie Blog

We’re all very excited here at Simply Yours because this afternoon we’re off to meet Gok Wan again! We’ve arranged a fabulous bra-fitting event at Manchester’s prestigious Hilton hotel for 50 lucky winners and their friends who won via a competition at Key 103. It’s so important to wear the right sized bra- and nobody knows it better than Gok Wan - and Simply Yours!

One winner will even get to have a one-on-one style consultation with Gok Wan himself and get to wear some of Gok Wan’s shapewear collection!

I’m feeling pretty nervous as I may even get to ask Gok Wan a few questions myself – eek! I’ve got my outfit sorted and I’m hoping that gets the Gok seal of approval. Soon find out though…

Don’t worry; I’ll be back tomorrow to keep you updated with all of the Gok Wan goss from the event. There’ll be photos and videos – and hopefully a mini Gok Wan interview if I get the chance.

Wish me luck!

Gok Wan’s been over in New Zealand recently and, as well as confessing his love for a NZ TV weatherman he also did this interview.

It’s well worth a read for avid Gok Wan fans.

Highlights for me:

• Touching Gok Wan’s hair is a bit like touching a brillo pad
• He has a blokey Top Gear and football loving side
• He really does fancy Tony Blair. I won’t repeat what he said - you’ll have to read the article!

He’s mentioned it in the past but now finally Gok Wan has got the guys in his sights for his How to Look Good Naked makeover show!

If you’re a fella looking for a confidence boost from everyone’s favourite guru of gorgeous then this is how to get on the show:

Talented lady and Gok Wan’s mate Mica Paris is about to burst back onto the music scene with a new album.

She talks to Female First all about it - and of course, what everyone also wants to know, what it’s like to work with Gok Wan!

This is what she said about working with him on Miss Naked Beauty:

Aww it was wicked, I love Gok! He’s awesome and so amazing! the guy is so down to earth, he’s so not affected by the fame and everything. You know, he loves women and I love Gok, we just did our first show and he was right at the front shouting “Mica!” he’s just lovely, and such a supporter. Love him!

She’s a lucky lady. All the best woth the album Mica!

Unless you’ve been on another planet for the past week or do you can’t have failed to have come across the reality TV show phenomenon that is Susan Boyle.

This fabulously talented lady stunned the judges of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, as well as the general public of Britain itself, with her incredible singing voice.

However, most of the incredulity seems to be a consequence of the fact that, from looking at Susan, people did not expect her to sound the way she did. It’s not so much that people are amazed by her talent (talented as she), it’s that such a person could be so talented.

This just goes to show how much, as a society, we judge a book by its cover.

So should somebody like Gok Wan give Susan Boyle a makeover to make the cover match the book?

Some say yes, why shouldn’t she get a bit of pampering? Others say no, she’s perfect just as she is and why should she have to be made to conform to what we expect a singer to look like?

From my point of view, Gok Wan makeovers are more designed to benefit the recipient rather than those around them. He makes people over because they feel down about themselves and they need a confidence boost - not because he thinks that they really need to look better. He thinks that as long as people are happy then they are great just the way they are, as his show Miss Naked Beauty clearly demonstrated.

Susan Boyle is happy and bursting with personality and confidence, which really shines through. So if you ask me she doesn’t need a makeover from Gok Wan - or anybody else for that matter.

I love Janet Street Porter. I think TV (and the world in general) needs more women out there with big personalities who aren’t afraid to say what they think and don’t care what people say.

So when she agreed to a Gok Wan fashion makeover I knew it was going to be good!

In this article she talks us through what it was like to work with Gok Wan. He gave her wardrobe a good going over, then took her high street shopping to find an outfit for her to wear to the Brits.

This was the end result. - I think she looks fab. Good work Gok!

And did Gok find anything scary lurking in JSP’s wardrobe? Of course he did!

“I’d got out a few of my best outfits from the past ten years, but before he could shout ‘Go, girl!’ he was rummaging in the cupboard on the hot scent of a fully fledged fashion disaster.

He plucked out a silver leather mini dress and said: ‘What’s this? You must have looked like a jacket potato on Bonfire Night!’ “

Gok Wan fans will be thrilled to read these two fab new interviews with Gok.

The first one is from the Daily Record. In it he talks about his new series of Gok’s Fashion Fix and how he got his hands on the wardrobes of Janet Street Porter and Kirstie Allsopp for the series.

He also gives his thoughts on Trinny and Susannah:

“I bumped into Trinny when I filmed Celebrity Apprentice. I had never met her before. I called her a posh bird, but jokes aside, I thought she was very kind, sincere and accommodating.

“People want me to have a big row with them, and it’s not my style.

“I wish I could say Trinny came along with her big Gucci handbag and then slapped me around the face when I met her - but she didn’t! She was lovely.”

Ah Gok, kind as ever!

He also completed the Guardian’s ‘This much I know’ interview.

Fave quote:

“People think you go home and be a celeb, sipping Laurent-Perrier and listening to classical music. You don’t. You go home and wash some pants in the sink.”

Classic!

I often get emails from people wanted to get in touch with Gok or get his advice and am always sorry when I have to say that I am afraid I can’t help

But now’s your chance!

Gok Wan is currently looking for men and women of all ages to appear in the new series of Channel 4’s How To Look Good Naked.

If you would like to take part then email howtolookgoodnaked@mavericktv.co.uk or call 0121 224 8348.

This is your chance to meet Gok Wan!

The Gok Wan makeovers of Carol McGiffin and Big Brother contestants Chantelle Houghton and Michelle Heaton were featured in this week’s Heat magazine, but if you missed them you can see some of them here.

As you’d expect the girls look gorgeous as a result fo Gok’s magic makeovers.

Carol said she was looking forward to working with Gok Wan:

‘I thought Gok giving me a makeover would be brilliant because I’ve watched a load of things he’s done and he’s never made anyone look s***’

Well that’s one way of putting it!

So did you see Gok Wan on Celebrity Apprentice?

Although he was clearly a bit stressed at times I thought he did a great job, doing all the decor and sorting all the outfits for the dancers. And it was really nice to see him more in his usual personality compared to how shaken he seemed on ‘Too Fat Too Young’. So funny!

I personally thought that the boys’ ‘Swap Belt’ was a much better product than the girls’ ‘Stick Stuck’ but I guess they fell down, like many a team on the Apprentice, on their financial calculations.

Shame Alan Carr had to get fired… he really makes me laugh. Any one else think he sounds just like Zippy?
