OLAY – Nadine Baggott Celebrity Beauty Editor
18 March 2007 by Silky“I’m Nadine Baggott, Celebrity Beauty Editor.”
I didn’t think it was possible. I didn’t think that someone introducing themselves in an advert could raise a louder “Who the fuck?” than Barry Scott. (While we’re on it, who the fuck is he anyway?)
But OLAY have gone one better and followed the “Who the fuck?” up with an equally loud “What the fuck?”
*Celebrity Beauty Editor* is possibly the worst ‘made up job title’ ever made up. It’s left me confused. I’m not sure if Nadine spends her time editing celebrity beauty (whatever that might entail) or whether she thinks she is a beauty editor who is also a celebrity. If it’s the latter she is sorely mistaken.
Either way, when Nadine isn’t doing her made up job, she’s busy helping the World by discovering that pentapeptides (that’s now one “Who the fuck” and two “What the fuck?”s) are in OLAY. My limited research (I Googled it then looked at one result; in laboratory conditions though) tells me these are the “newest group of amino acids” which I have taken to mean “latest made up bullshit”.
OLAY cunningly recognised that women, regardless or how much time they had on their hands, wouldn’t want to smear bullshit all over their faces; let alone pay 20 quid for the privilege. So they’ve called it pentapeptides instead.
Note to Nadine: I strongly suspect you didn’t discover pentapeptides in OLAY. I suspect that the lowest pond-life variety of scientist put them there then someone from an advertising agency told you about them.
This advert is so patronising to women it makes me want to start having periods and darning men’s socks just so I can feel even more angry about it than I already do. Nadine, you bring shame on women everywhere! Stop pedalling this bullshit now!
Also, from the look of her, I strong suspect Nadine doesn’t keep her self looking young purely by using OLAY or she would surely be able to open her mouth wider when she laughs manically at celebrity beauty editorial meetings.
Just How Bad is this Ad?

Nadine Baggot is actually married to Barry Scott according to this rather informative comic strip:

i hate this type of advert it makes me shout at the tv more than usual. why they try to baffle us with bullshit and some suppposed scientific sounding words is beyond me. someone’ll be forcing re-tauntening gel on us next… ooops too late! and as for ‘barry scott’, what a prick he is.

the new advert shows how far her “pentapeptides” have helped her. To me, she will always be “Nadine Baggot, celebrity faggot”

Its not the olay that bothers me its the amount of plastic surgery shes had. Note forehead not 1 crease!. How can that be a good advert for olay??

My laughter turns to rage when Baggot mentions the price.
”£20. Hardly a celebrity price tag.”
What!?
I think £20 is a huge amount to pay for a small bottle of milky white goo of which probably less than 5% is actually ‘pentapeptides’.
Allow me to ‘edit some celebrity beauty’.
Sophia Loren (hottest 70+ woman on the planet) uses Extra Virgin Olive Oil on her face and body. My mum has done the same for 15 years. She is 51 but looks about at least 10 years younger.
Now THAT’s a beauty secret worth knowing.
Baggot, go get some more botox.

Barry Scott is a fictional character (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Burgess), just like celebrity beauty editor is a fictional job. Good on you for starting a blog complaining adverts, I’ve been meaning to do the same for a while
now I’ll just read yours and nod.

Russell (30/09/07) I’m not stalking you honest but you made me laff out loud again!!! – you have proven my point – your judgement is a bit off cos you have been on bread and water for four weeks due to wifey not participating on any huffin and puffin but you would rather poke the ‘larger lady’ who sings and dances on the Halifax ad than the po faced Nadine Baggot – she looks like Kermit – she has gorgeous skin but she just looks stuck? She must have had plastic surgery – which is fine if you don’t go overboard but she looks just odd.
Talking of plastic surgery – I am a pro fat person as you will see in my last opinion about the Halifax Ads with the large lady singing (where people – even other women were appalingly & ignorantly calling her fat and mingin) BUT – forgive me for being critical of my fellow species but Sharon Osborne looks bloody great after all her surgery but is it me? Why has she not managed to do anything about her legs? Don’t get me wrong I am not saying there is owt bad or evil about having fat legs but why would you make your body perfect and fabulous but then stop at your legs?
Russell
Said on the 28 October 2007
1) I’m not impressed, I got women laughing out loud at me 24/7.
2) I never said anything about poking larger ladies. Lager ladies… now that’s a different matter.
3) Anything false can’t be attractive. Discuss. And they may look good on camera but up-close-and-personal I reckon you’d spot the join and it would, er, test your resolve.
4) Congrats on being a professional fatty; does it pay well?
5) I reckon plastic surgery is more to do with psychlogical faults rather than physical ones. The whole thing is just a big turn off. I’d stop long before her legs.

As a neurobiologist, I can honestly say that a pentapeptide cannot really help this skin at all.
A pentapeptide is five amino residues linked together by peptide bonds – its a very small part of a protein chain.
Rubbing it on one’s face won’t make a difference at all! You’d be better off applying meat or seminal fluid…

I’ve just had my head drilled again having seen another Nadine ‘Gaggott’ ad. I hate her and her fucking pentapeptides and I’d be quite happy to see her boiled in a vat of the fucking things – if I knew or gave so much a gnat’s fuck as to what they were in the first place.
She’s an irritating cunt. Fuck her – I would for £20. Hardly a celebrity price tag.

ALL Olay and othe beauty adverts are total crap. Does anyone ever get taken in by this pseudo-science nonsense?
(The missus has just seen this and answered ‘unfortunately the sad answer is yes’ (she should know – she’s a great believer in Johnson’s Baby Lotion ( nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

Personally, I think Loreal hold the record for the most intelligence insulting wonder ingredients.
Boswellox, Nutrilleum, Fibro Plastyl to name but 3. Then we have Activia with Bifidus Digestivum, which gave way to Bifidus Actiregularis (for fuck’s sake).
There ought to be an award for the biggest piss take wonder ingredient.

Keith, good idea maybe Silky could organise a poll and the winner gets sent an award, maybe a nodding Churchill dog with a cactus shoved up its arse or some such appropriate prize.

If my mussus wants to spread white creamy amino acid chains on her face I can oblige.. In fact before I got married I gave many a girl the same treatment, it only cost me a tenner a go tho…
As far as the is she fit or not question goes… well I am a man, so my standards arn’t high, but even I draw the line at a face that has been trapped in a lift door….

Celebrity beauty editor? Seeing that most celebrities nowadays are chavs with no style or class whose only achievement is sleeping with a footballer or taking their clothes off on a reality TV show, I don’t think that’s anything to be proud of.

I have never liked fiona phillips so I was jumping with joy when the wretched honorable woman left GMTV.
Yet Olay are back with another horrible advert filled with lies about how your wrinkles will magically be ironed out by their stupid cream and they have decided to use fiona phillips – she obviously has had makeup PLASTERED on for this advert because as I remember she looked like a wrinkled old hag to begin with.
Dear Olay, Take your horrible advert and take fiona fucking phillips and SOD OFF!
