A while ago I wrote about the excitement in the Simply Yours office when Gok Wan surprised 3 of the Simply Yours girls by giving them the Gok treatment in his Gok Wan underwear range.
Well, now you can see it for yourself in this exclusive Simply Yours video!
Ah God bless Gok Wan!
The girls got to keep their Gok Wan lingerie… and sometimes when you hear a little jingle you can tell when they’ve got it on 
A recent survey where female IT workers voted for who they thought was ‘the greatest leader’ returned some, shall we say, pretty interesting results. Margaret Thatcher came out top, with votes also going out to various extremes, from the Queen, to Chairman Mau to Buddha!
And who was the cheeky chappy who also got an honourable mention? Gok Wan of course. Gok was described as a dream leader because “he wants others to feel good about themselves”. Well that’s certainly true – that’s why he designed his lingerie range.
I reckon Gok would make a pretty fun boss (especially compared to Maggie Thatcher!). He’d definitely make sure that morale was always boosted, not to mention bangers. Judging by the chaos he caused when he was in our offices you’d never really know what was going to happen from one minute to the next. There’d be never a dull moment. Imagine the meetings – he’d be sure to always say the most inappropriate and outrageous thing he could think of. 
Gok Wan or Margaret Thatcher - I know who I'd rather go for a post-work beer with on a Friday
Speaking of when Gok Wan was in the Simply Yours office, I’ve got a little treat for you all coming soon… watch this space!
Manchester’s Key 103 radio arranged a fabulous adience with Gok Wan in the glamorous Manchester 235 casino for 40 lucky competition winners, including two lucky ladies from the Simply Yours call centre.
Here’s the video footage for your delight and delectation! You can see the Gok Wan lingerie right where it belongs - under the spotlight, centre stage!

And here’s a few piccies for you too of Gok Wan and the Gok Wan lingerie.

Gok Wan doing his thang:
Well I’m back from my hol – I had a fab time, but the first thing I wanted to know this morning at work was – what happened when Gok Wan came in?!
As it happened, the plan was changed so that Gok surprised three Simply Yours ladies at their desks to let them know that they had been selected! I can’t believe I missed it!
One of the three was Sam who featured in my last post. This is what she said about meeting Gok:
“I was absolutely mortified when Gok Wan came into the office calling out my name, but he came over and gave me a big hug, which immediately put me at ease. Gok said I had a ‘great 1950’s thing going on’ but I needed more support for my boobs and something to accentuate my waist.
So I went and tried on pieces from the Gok Wan lingerie range, settling on the Banger Booster bra and the Super Slicker Knickers. The Gok knickers were a lot more comfortable than I expected and gave me a really smooth silhouette without holding me in too much. Other shapewear I’ve tried is too tight on the tummy and gives me tummy ache. The Banger Booster supported my boobs and gave me a great cleavage. I love how you can adjust the bra straps to cross over at the back. I’ve got very narrow shoulders and this makes me feel really secure.
Gok was lovely - very funny and caring and made me feel special. So special that I was happy to stand in front of him and a film crew in just my bra and knickers!”
Sam also told me that when Gok first came in to meet her (after shouting her name at the top of his voice in our extremely open plan office) he made her twirl around so he could take a good look at her. Then he made her undo her top a little bit and peeked in to get a good look at her boobs! Next, (totally living up to his cheeky chappy reputation) Gok asked her to bend over – and he slapped her on the bottom! To make up for it though, Gok gave her a big kiss – and all was forgiven!
Here is what Michelle and Sophie, the other two girls had to say about it:
Sophie:
“Gok is really nice, very friendly and re-assuring. Although he did make a holy show of me by pulling my knickers up out the back of my skirt whilst I was stood at my desk!
The underwear felt really nice on and made a big difference to stomach and my waist! I wore the Curve Controller body shaper and it felt very nice and quite sexy on (although I did have to put my heels on too!).
You could tell he was very genuine when he gave us compliments and kept telling us how fabulous we looked!
We sang happy birthday to him and had some cake. Gok was lovely and I would definitely recommend the Gok Wan underwear to ladies of all shapes and sizes, because it not only does it job but it makes you feel very slinky!”
Michelle:
Well where do I start - apart from Gok stating I had great bangers! Until I tried on the Gok Wan lingerie I didn’t believe that my assets could actually be lifted - I thought that they would permanently stay south!
I was fitted into a Gok bra, waist control pants and the boned corset all I can say on behalf of the larger lady - wow! I actually had a figure: my waist came back which I had not seen for the last 19 years and to be honest was amazed at the results. I do not really dress up underneath my clothing but I have now had the Gok Wan lingerie for a week and can now safely say that I would buy most of the products - they make you feel really good about yourself.
The promotional video for the Gok Wan lingerie should be ready in the next couple of weeks – I’ll post it up as soon as it’s ready.
In the meantime here are some pics of Gok Wan and the girls with the lingerie here at Simply Yours.
Sam, Sophie, some guy called Gok Wan and Michelle. Gok is clearly impressed by Michelle’s bangers.

It’s all about Gok!
Well, the 25 lucky ladies who will get to meet Gok Wan tomorrow and try on the Gok Wan lingerie have now been notified… and they’re all looking forward to it with a mixture of elation and trepidation. I managed to get a few words from a couple of my colleagues to find out how they felt about meeting Gok Wan and trying on the lingerie.
Sam: “I’m very excited about meeting Gok but I’m a bit apprehensive as well as I don’t know quite what to expect. I hope I get chosen as I’d like to see what the lingerie can really do. I’m hoping Gok can do something to make my stomach appear less noticeable – I’d quite like to try on the waspie.”
Lyndsey: “I’m feeling pretty nervous actually and a bit prudish all of a sudden! I’m a big fan of Gok Wan so it’s going to be great to meet him. I don’t know which of the lingerie range he’ll put me in if I get picked. I think the lingerie range is really cool though, I think the corsets are dead sexy and I love the purple colourway.”
Thanks girls and good luck!
I’m off on my hols for a week now but I’m sure Sam and Lyndsey will fill me in on everything Gok says and does tomorrow. There’ll be some photos of Gok Wan and the girls I’ll share with you when I’m back, and the Gok Wan lingerie video too, when it’s ready.
In my absence you may get the odd guest post from a team-mate – watch this space!
A flurry of excitement went round our office yesterday when we discovered that Gok Wan himself was going to be visiting us! And what’s more, he was looking for volunteers to try on the Gok Wan lingerie in order to demonstrate the difference it can make to your figure. The first 25 girls who e-mailed will get to meet Gok, and of those 25 he’ll select 5 to try on the lingerie and showcase what it can do.
Gok will be working his usual magic, advising which piece from the lingerie range would work best for whom. No doubt he’ll be looking for different shapes and sizes in order to show that the lingerie looks great on everyone.
I didn’t go for it as I’ve been lucky enough to meet Gok Wan once before (and I’m also on holiday that week), but I’m hoping to get all the Gok goss from lucky girls when I’m back to post on here. We’re going to film the girls in the gorgeous Gok lingerie (and their clothes) in a before and after stylee, which we plan to make into a promotional video for the Gok Wan lingerie range. I’ll post that up here too if I can.
Those who responded are waiting with baited breath at the moment, as they don’t yet know who’ll get to meet Gok Wan and try on the Gok Wan lingerie! I’ll keep you, quite literally, posted…
This season, lingerie is all about vivid and vivacious shades. At Simply Yours we agree with Gok Wan: you shouldn’t be ashamed to be seen in your undies. You should show them off –your body is beautiful. And when it comes to showing off, the bolder and brighter the better! That’s why Gok chose the gorgeous ‘Passion’ purple colour to launch his lingerie range, and why he opted for hot Gok pink for all the lovely linings, lacings and logos. Luscious!
Over at Simply Yours the Gok Wan underwear range is definitely the star of the show, but we’re very excited about our new season lingerie collection too – especially the colours. With bras in juicy berry shades of deep pink, red, purple and blue, it’s enough to get your mouth watering just thinking about it! It’s nice to wear a brightly coloured bra; it does cheer you up in the morning and if you wear a lot of black (like me) you can get away with any colour at all! A pretty coloured bra strap on show looks sexy; Gok’s definitely all for it as he recommended showing off your bra straps on How to Look Good Naked.
The worst colour for a bra has got to be that washed-too-many-times-white-gone-grey colour – ugh! If your bras have turned this unsexiest of shades then it’s time you treated yourself to some new ones. Fresh white, classic black or fruity pink – whatever you fancy it’ll be a big improvement!
Here’s a few bright and beautiful bras from the new Simply Yours range:
