Allison Baden-Clay - GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD #44

[Strangeworld]

Just another thought on Allison's weight - she grew up as a dancer. You can see in the earlier photos of her that she was slim, if not thin. Part and parcel with been a ballerina. She may have been more self-conscious that the average person as she put on weight as she aged.

 

[linette]

Regarding the clothes, I didn't find the style of the size of them of any surprise at all. XL or even XXL in mainstream shops is more like a slimfit 16 or 18. There aren't many pictures of Allison's full body but I don't think she was a size 10.

If we remember back to those photos that we discussed taken at the event {something to do with real estate} Allison was in a lovely silver dress and looked beautiful. However at the time a few did comment that she wasn't petite by any means. The comments were more along the lines that she had put on weight or was just bigger than we thought. Looking at those photos I would say she was probably around a size 14 ... they were taken in the FEB before she was killed.
Alot of us here now might not have been around when we were discussing those pics, but for those who were do you remember how she was bigger than we thought? However she looked absolutely stunning, and happy. He should have been proud to be seen with her. BTW I think those photos got taken taken quick smart from the website they were on, because of so much interest we thought.

I was hoping someone had them... are we allowed to show the pic again?
I did have them saved at the time but my computer did it's once every 6 months thing and I lost it all ages ago.

I mean no disrespect to anyone BUT seriously! Does it really matter what size Allison was? Discussing if she was chunky!! I can see the relevance in trying to figure out if she was dressed in her own clothes but enough already in my opinion.

She was a mother of 3. A normal size in today's society. None of us, no one but Gerard knows what she was or would have been wearing at home that night.

End of rant.

 

[they'll get you]

Whoa. Just reading the charge sheet and what OW is saying came to me. You don't think it all happened due to some dodgy dealings do you? Gborrowing from leg breakers or something?

I doubt GBC is the compassionate who would take a 'fall' for someone to cover their backside. Especially some leg breaker. lol What would be the point? Surely he wouldnt spend the next years in gaol to cover for TM or the like. OW is making out he is innocent and is either covering for someone unknown who committed the murder.

Surely the police have asked he what she knows to have GBC acquitted? She's just looking sillier by the day.

I get where you are coming from curious. And I most certainly do not agree in Allison being called chunky (or anyone for that matter). But I think discussion of her size is relevant, given the clothing. I can't comment for others, but I'm not judging her, regardless of whether she was a size 6 or a size 20.

I personally believe, based on my own size and that of people I know, that unless she had changed weight dramatically in the months before her death, she was probably around a standard size 12-14. And I think the clothes she was found in were her own. Even if someone else dressed her in the clothes she had on, I think they'd be pretty stupid to put her in someone's else clothes. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Yes I understand your point also SW but how do we prove it? We can't.

So true - but don't us sleuthers love the 'unprovable' - gives us something to chat about

On a funny note, I was gardening today and saw about 8 hairy caterpillars!! If anyone sees a headline tomorrow - Strangeworld goes on rampage - you won't need to sleuth much. Just blame the caterpillars!

 

[linette]

It would be great if someone could post that photo of Allison in the thread - she looked so beautiful! Not sure if it is allowed? But it is a beautiful photo.

Yes, it was so sad looking at it, wasn't it? There she was just 2 months before she died looking absolutley stunning and happy. As I said, he should have been PROUD to be seen with her. Loved the way she had her hair in that pic too. She just looked so naturally beautiful. Wish I looked half that good! haha

If you google Allison and Gerard baden clay and select images there are quite a few of them both there - wedding and the one where she is sitting in front of him

Huh? What trailer? Please explain yourself immediately!

:moo:

 

[linette]

Those photos that night are a good way to remember her, they were recent and she looked gorgeous. Just so sad.

 

[linette]

No that's the only one I have

I tried googling for those particular ones that night but they don't seem to show up anywhere. They must have been taken down good & proper! ha

I'm sure someone here would have them saved because we even posted them on here. Would they be on thread in which we were talking about them? I have NO idea which that was but I think sometimes in June or July?

Be very pleased you missed the trailer incident. It was totally irrelevant. Nothing to see there.

A bit like what size Allison was and what size her clothes were. (Ha, just joking)

Sorry, I feel bad for being cranky now. Talk about whatever you like. Don't listen to me. I have no clue. Feeling better now x

From memory, the photos' of the function were removed due to the intense interest from people looking at them.
I believe they were removed by Mods.
