Lovely Girls Day at The Horse Show... If there's one thing that defines your modern Irish woman folks, we reckon it has to be their constant insecure and needy preoccupation to be judged solely on their outward appearance and not on how successful or intelligent they may be... Now for something completely different. It was Ladies Day at the Dublin Horse Show yesterday. Huzzah... Amy Huberman Yet another big day-out for Irish horsey-types, yet another load of Irish women preened to within an inch of their lives in the desperate hope of being judged as The Best Dressed Lady at the Dublin Horse Show. The winner even gets a feckin' rosette like the ones the horses get! Yup. You guessed it, the Island of Ireland has become a massive Lovely Girls competition. Joanne Byrne, Amy Huberman But at least there was one decently dressed lady at the Horse Show in the form of Amy Huberman. But then again she was the person judging and handing-out the much coveted BDL prize... Actually, wasn't our wee Amy a promising actress once upon a time? Hmmmmm... Yvonne Ellard (Best Dressed Lady) You'll be only delira to hear Yvonne Ellard was judged as Best Dressed Lady at the Horse Show 2010, although we're really not loving her outfit at all... Ooooo, after a quick Google of her name it turns out our Yvonne was Miss Ireland waaay back in the year 2000. Fancy that? Synan O'Mahony, Paul Morrissey (Best Dressed Man) And there was balance (of sorts) in the Best Dressed stakes people. Designer Synan O'Mahony awarded Paul Morrissey as Best Dress Man at the equine event. Strangely, the fella only gets 500 quid in prizes compared to 10k the female winner gets. Blatant sexism. Irish men demand equality. Sarah McGovern Other than all the bestest dressed nonsense (does anyone even care that this was supposed to be a horse jumping gig?) there was a bit of an Arnotts (aint they gone bust?) fashion show featuring Assets models: Sarah McGovern, Sarah Morrissey, Asheena Naidoo, Naomi Cullen, Yomiko, and a few more... Aisling O'Loughlin Ahem. Now we'd like to give out a few awards of our own folks... Worst Dressed Lady Who Should Better Know Better - Aisling O'Loughlin. Most Overly Colour Coordinated Lady - Danielle Hammond. Best Panda Shaped Handbag - Barbara McCarthy... Danielle Hammond And the ShowBiz.ie Horse Show 2010 Awards continue... Worst Jodhpurs Wearer Ever - Sarah McGovern. Most Satiniest Mother & Daughter Combo - Melina & Olga Skvortsova. Worst Rose of Tralee in a Really Pink Dress - Charmaine Kenny. Barbara McCarthy Lastly we'd like to award OUR choice for ShowBiz.ie Best Dressed Lady 2010... Drum Roll... Anne Doyle. Yup. Hot older lady and newsreader Anne Doyle managed to out-dress all these fillies folks, and she didn't need to wear one of those awfully feathery silly hat things. Anne Doyle rocks our world. Fact. Melina Skvortsova, mother Olga Skvortsova Right. We're going back to editing the latest edition of The Misogynist's Guide to Media Misogyny Monthly... What? If you can't beat 'em... Charmaine Kenny (Rose of Tralee) Well done to the Best Dressed peeps and to all the horses and jumpers too... We're hoping somebody noticed all the nags hanging about the RDS... ShowBiz.ie - the Lovely Girl Whisperer. Anne Doyle Sarah Morrissey Asheena Naidoo Yomiko Naomi Cullen Karen Koster Yvonne Ellard (Best Dressed Lady)

Commentator – online August 07, 2010 - 06:18 I'm disappointed that my observations about how intelligent the average DIT graduate is have been censored. unknown August 07, 2010 - 00:23 Aisling o' loughlin has to be joking Fat Casper August 06, 2010 - 23:00 Comment Removed. Sebastian Longchamps – Jenny Lee's knickers August 06, 2010 - 20:56 Oh come on showbiz, just because I mention the "scandal" you edit my comment? It's like Ice T said....Freedom of speech, just watch what you say. Lord Carson – Okinawa August 06, 2010 - 20:32 Is Yomiko one of those unfortunate people who don't have a last name? [Eg. Madonna, Prince et al] Commentator – online August 06, 2010 - 18:19 Incidentally, I wouldn't mind going riding with Sarah McGovern. Commentator – online August 06, 2010 - 18:16 A funny coincidence that a former Ms Ireland won the best dressed gong. Seamus – Drogheda August 06, 2010 - 17:54 I'm ashamed to be Irish! rosso August 06, 2010 - 15:27 fail Janey Mac – Wicklow August 06, 2010 - 14:51 Ireland should host a show like The Clothes Show in the uk. ...Ashling has no sense of style, karen is your average blond dolly bird.... Glenda Gilson is the edgy one that does stand out from a crowd with her look. Thank god your man is leaving his voice is argh annoying.. gatsby – omnipresent August 06, 2010 - 14:39 It's the Horrible-Looking Ladies Contest. Wow...the contestants really put on a show for you all this year! Sebastian Longchamps – knickers August 06, 2010 - 13:58 Ah, Yvonne Ellard, she of the Miss Ireland....ah, the memories! Yomiko looks hot as usual but the rest are all not exactly flying the flag for the Irish Promotion Girl Industry all that well. I'm actually wondering was the Dress Code for yesterday "Kxxxker Wedding" in a faux ironic fashion? And can someone please explain to me how Aisling from Xpose is considered stylish? john – getting my methadone August 06, 2010 - 12:16 seriously ireland is just too small an economy to sustain people who are "models" or in "pr" or "fashionistas". they could be more productive by being on the dole. cmon join me its good craic. Atelier August 06, 2010 - 12:13 Congratz Showbiz, finally someone pointed out how sad women in modern Ireland have become. All of these beauty pageants and best dressed lady events are demeaning to women and all the media does is hype them up like this is normal in a post 2010 western society. Like Seamus, i too am ashamed to be Irish. john – muggin tourists on the boardwalk August 06, 2010 - 12:09 Please its a recession. have some class jennylee August 06, 2010 - 11:10 why was my comment removed.. all I said was how woeful they look! its just pure TRASHTASTIC. and i even said that melina is pretty but the dress does her no favours. Aoife Mary August 06, 2010 - 09:50 Brilliant article Showbiz, bravo Sarah Tonin August 06, 2010 - 09:15 Aisling O'Loughlin OBVIOUSLY told the dress code was fancy dress then...... NY Jimmy – NYC August 06, 2010 - 08:50 That's clever, dressing the horses up in human clothing. kelly August 06, 2010 - 08:40 the dress amy and sarah are wearing is revolting. it looks like someone has vomited a pint of guinness down the front of it. why cant ireland get some sort of style instead of all this clashing, badly shaped, tacky excuse for clothes!!! The winner looks like shes wearing a curtain and words escape me for the rest EB – Dublin August 06, 2010 - 08:38 What the hell is Aisling O'Loughlin wearing? Things have really gone down hill since she got her hair chopped and ended up on Xpose. She used to be so much better looking a few years ago with her long hair. jo August 06, 2010 - 08:35 Is Sarah Morrissey holding a magical see through bag or do i just need glasses? Also, was Amy left standing naked whilst Sarah borrowed her dress? Model A1 – Dublin August 06, 2010 - 08:10 luv sarah mcgovern normally BUT WHATS with the saggy crotch on her riding pants?? bad look someone get aisling a stylist erm, what were you thinking amy picking that lady as best dressed? is she your m8? Paul K – Southside August 06, 2010 - 07:36 The crew are about to jump over the pole behind pic and do some pole dancing, ah showbiz its embarrassing to be irish and see this at our national event. Kylie – Donnybrook August 06, 2010 - 07:29 Control pants is all your one needed and yes i saw them at show. goes out in nightclothes trying to mingle in with krystle girls not a hope. Sorry every other pic lovely :) James – Foxrock August 06, 2010 - 07:23 yes i can confirm they left the house like that ST8 OUT THE door with nighties on. brat – Here August 06, 2010 - 07:12 how... HOW can it be a Horse show without Glenda Gilson . . ?? giddy up Gilly . . . . John M – Wicklow August 06, 2010 - 07:08 omg now really would you let your beloved mother go out in public in her nightgown, unless them two trying to make nightwear fashionable..
