Picture perfect

It’s an oft-used saying and one that applies to lots of different situations…

But You’ll never get a second chance to make a first impression definitely fits the bill when it comes to online dating!

There’s no doubt that people giving those apps a go usually make up their mind in a split second so it’s important to catch their eye and make sure that first impression really is a good one…

And that’s just one of the things that photographer Gemma Wilks, this week’s guest on Girls Around Town, sets out to do for clients.

Gemma will be in the studio with June in the second hour of the show to explain how she’s on a mission to abolish those bathroom selfies, replacing them with eye-catching photos and dating profiles that stop singles in their scroll.

Online dating isn’t for everyone of course, which is why she also hosts regular Single and Mingle evenings in Nottingham where guests can meet up over a drink and a bite to eat in the old-fashioned way.

And that’s not all – inspired by Channel 4’s First Dates, she’s just launched Table For Two which matches suitable couples over a delicious meal…

The only difference being there’s no TV crew present and of course no Fred Sirieix greeting guests on their arrival at the restaurant!

Make sure you Put On Your Sunday Best on 107.8FM, on the apps or online to hear what Gemma has to say from just after 11am this weekend…

When no doubt she and June will have plenty to share about their own first dates too, both successful and otherwise!!

Look no further – this week’s guest on Girls Around Town is here to help!

Joining June in the second hour of the show, personal stylist Michelle Wright will be sharing a little bit of advice to ensure that, whenever you’re looking for something to wear, the words of American writer Amy Fine Collins will ring true…

Opening up your wardrobe should be like arriving at a really good party where everyone you see is someone you like

Known to clients and followers on social media as Mrs Stylewright, Michelle will be explaining why and how she became a stylist and how she now spends her time helping women build their confidence through what they wear and making sure that when they look in the mirror they love the person looking back at them.

She’ll have news too of how she did just that for some of the ladies at Deborah Firmstone’s recent fundraising Swishing Event in Grantham before it’s down to the real nitty gritty…

That all-important wardrobe cleanse that she insists isn’t just about throwing stuff out!

“It’s about making your wardrobe work for you, helping you to style what you already have and making a wish list of items to help you achieve your dream wardrobe,” says Michelle, who’ll have those hints and tips to help you do just that.

Don’t forget Put On Your Sunday Best on 107.8FM, on the apps or online this weekend to join Michelle and June, who’s expecting their chat will encourage her to finish the wardrobe clear out she started over the Christmas/New Year break…
