Bare-faced protest?
THE sisterhood’s screen stars have been urged to wear plain black dresses at the Baftas later this month in their ongoing protest against sexual harassment in the film industry.
Perhaps they’ll leave their thighhigh split skirts and plunging necklines in the wardrobe, too.
How many will dare to appear without the concealer, blusher, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow and lipstick intended to create glamour and allure? And if they displayed the courage of their convictions by turning up bare-faced, would we be able to recognise them? TONY EDWARDS, Ockham, Surrey. AS POLITICALLY correct snowflakes put more pressure on women’s job opportunities and earning capacity, it won’t just be the darts and Formula 1 racing that will no longer need the services of promotion girls. All well-paid hospitality work will disappear.
S. T. VAUGHAN, Birmingham. STRANGE how feminists who are convinced they can do things as well as, or even better than, any man believe that women who have attributes that no man has should be unemployable. BRIAN CHRISTLEY,
Abergele, Conwy. THE most exciting part of F1 was watching the grid girls before the boring race started.
