Eurovision Midweek Rewatch: Millstreet, 1993 (2000 BST 06.05.20)

[Lucille]

Its BARBARA DEX!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

She was on The Bill.

 

[Suomi]

Barbara looking for her outfit in that cave

 

[ButterTart]

I don't know if this makes me a lesbian but I quite like her jumper.

 

[Madison]

Dex has a consistent fashion sense.

 

[Suomi]

I think she looks nice

 

[win_the_game]

Babs looks a damn sight better here than she did in her postcard.

 

[lolly]

I feel bad for Babs that her conductor got away with that hair, but she will be PILLORIED forevermore

 

[Penelope]

LET BARBARA DEX GUEST JUDGE DRAG RACE

 

[Dark Carnival]

Flemish for Belgium

 

[Lucille]

Well in keeping she looks like a SACK OF SPUDS.

 

[Tisch]

The dress isn't that bad! I wonder what she thinks of JAMIE-LEE

 

[lolly]

and to be honest, poor Babs's hairdresser should have been shot first

 

[Penelope]

Has she ever acknowledged the award?

Yes. Jailed for threatening to kill the organisers.

 

[Kala]

I've always loved this song, and it's placing is TOTALLY undeserved.

 

[COB]

Is that WPC Polly Paige?

!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh this is THE Barbara?!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The more I look at it, the worse it gets? Why is collar so uneven? Is this why she is almost always shown in the wide?

 

[Ellie]

The hair is worse than the dress.

 

[Soldi]

I mean the dress isn’t BAD and neither is the SONG. Poor love

 

[ButterTart]

To set the outfit off with hair which makes her look a bit like a guard at a concentration camp was nothing if not daring.

 

[Lucille]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that colour of material in my life. WHAT IS IT.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It's not that bad aside from the buttons.

 

[Madison]

Flemish for Belgium

It’s the most romantic language they were allowed to use. I guess they could have done German at a push.

 

[COB]

The earrings look a bit like teabags at certain angles.

 

[Penelope]

OMG THE SHEER CONTROL BRA

 

[win_the_game]

The more I look at it, the worse it gets? Why is collar so uneven? Is this why she is almost always shown in the wide?

She made the dress herself. No lie.

 

[dmlaw]

I can only assume that one of her earrings is much heavier than the other.
