karen n gok


The past month or so my friend of 20 years and bridesmaid has been filming for the next 'how to look good naked' series, and Friday was the big reveal.

At the crack of dawn our tribe of family and friends made our way to Birmingham with excited anticipation, as we had not seen Karen since her make-over.


That excitement soon turned to fear and a general turning of our stomachs as we heard the huge crowd. It felt like we were at a beatles gig with all the screaming girls!


As friends we had seats up front and had to fill in consent forms so they could show our gasps on tv. They also took our photos with our names on a board for identification. It was so loud that the girl above got my name slightly wrong. I shall be known as clare oval from now on !! LOL


Unfortunately I don't have better photos, as I was using a rubbish camera but also we couldn't take photos as we were being filmed.
We all thought she was very brave and gorgeous of course!


So I shall just leave you with this tiny snippet of the day.
A huge poster of my friend revealed right at the end.
Stunning or what!!

I know you are all wondering whether she revealed all?
Well you will just have to wait until autumn!
