The fact that neither Trinny and Susannah seems to have a clear idea of what a librarian looks like suggests a wider literacy problem. We still have work to do it seems, Alyson Hogarth.

There have been a number of similar references recently to the 'librarian'
look.
What would be a better tactic re Trinny and Susannah would be to ask them to actually 'pick the librarian' from a range of men and women in a number of different professions. Would be interesting for us also.
Trouble is they are only using the same sort of language and perceptions as those held generally.

Re the professional image aspect I have just complained to the BBC about Trinny and Susannah last night using derogatory language about their 70 year old candidates for makeover, ie 'old biddies' and one 'looks like a librarian'! So we will see if I ever get a response!
