Snog, Marry, Avoid? : Ebony Meets & Scares The Frost’s POD!

Meryl Cassie and Daniel James as Ebony and Zoot in The Tribe

Okay so I was watching BBC Three’s Snog, Marry, Avoid? as I do, because I love it! It’s hilarious. Anyhows, who crops up infront of the P.O.D (Personal Overhaul Device), it’s Ebony! Check the video out below…

Well OK, it’s not our Ebony from The Tribe, but I couldn’t help but think this lady’s look (and name) is Tribally inspired… Let’s see; she’s got the Zoot hat and goggles (or ‘gaw-gals’ – depending on your accent!) the Ebony ‘racoon strip’ make-up, an amulet (‘cross-eque jewellery’), tight corset and, er, dodgy Tribal fashion sense… I best not take the rip, if she reads this she may track me down and run me over in her police car.

For all I know all ‘military cyber-goths’ like this Ebony chick here dress like this, but it gives a sense of joy in my belief that this is a Tribe fan who’s keeping the dream alive! – You go girl! Represent!

Snog, Marry, Avoid? is a BBC 3 series which takes girls and guys with extreme fashion senses and makes them under by finding their natural beauty. The series is presented by former Atomic Kitten Jenny Frost and the computer POD. Ebony featured in episode 9 of the second series, which can be viewed in full on the BBC iPlayer here.

    I luv this series also, it’s fun watching the skanks who crop up. The make-under’s are great, I can’t believe most of them usually go back to their extreme looks though. Anyhows, I think this Ebony is a more tamer example of the usual Jodie/Jordan clones who appear on the series.

    I also thought she was a Tribe fan when I watched it on Saturday. Took me back to when I dressed up for a cast signing in Manchester.

  • Clare

    Hah hah, I was a bit too embaressed to dress up for any cast meets, but kudos to those who did.
    - Yeah that Barbie boy was freaky! I think the skankyest one was that girl who goes out with nothing but her knickers and duct tape around her boobs. Good entertainment though!

  • She’s quite obviously either a Tribe fan or just someone who’s seen the Ebony/Zoot picture and thought, hey that looks cool.

    Bless.

  • J

    Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

    *screams and runs*

    Lol.

  • J

    PS… It would’ve been so cool if she dropped a ‘Power and Chaos!’ in there.

  • SQT

    She is totally my hero!
    I saw the comments on the youtube video itself, and she IS a Tribe fan!!! Its awesome she showed up on tv in tribe stylee. I agree with the pod, She should smile more, and she don’t look like a chipmunk!

  • Panzereb

    Googling yourself brings up so many amusing results.. :P I am a tribe fan although im not going “i want to look like the tribe characters” its my own style but influenced by Zoot mainly as he is the sex.
    I changed my name to ebony when i was 14, its actually Ebony Van-Tassel, prizes for anyone who gets the other influence.
    I do have a lot of other looks that are encompassed by the pigeon hole of military cyber goth, and also outside of too like as close to Lolita as i can get without it looking stupid, (6ft 2 dolly doesnt work)
    And its not fashion sense its anti-fashion sense i like it it suits me and it makes me feel good, thats all people should care about really.

  • Anna

    Hey Panzerab, thanks for the insight into your look. What made you go onto Snog Marry Avoid? Was it your friends that made you do it?

  • Panzereb

    No they scouted me when i was out clubbing, and i thought why not, i get to defend myself on tv. They filmed me for over an hour where i said a lot more interesting and insightful things but they went with the scary angle.. I happened to be wearing pretty much what i wore on the show when i was clubbing so they asked me to wear the same thing.

  • Anna

    Thats awesome! I like that your look stopped and caught the attention of the scouts.
    I just love this look of yours, I think Imight give it a try myself, the hat and googles for sure

  • WRAITHE

    Lol Panzereb, you have no idea how proud your sister was at college the next day: she even showed the Mayne. I think she was impressed xD

  • k

    she’s a military cyber goth that yes does listen to cheesy music, yes does smile, no doesnt necessarily look like an chipmunk when she smiles which yes is actually quite often, she is a tribe fan and has gotten her name through that though not entirely because of it, i know this coz i work with her and whilst strange ( nothing to do with her gothisism) she is funny and a very nice person…

  • ClockworkCat

    Cool, I thought I was the only one around here who liked The Tribe :P Actually I must admit some of my makeup/hair/clothes ideas were influenced by it as well, though mostly by Trudy in my case! lol

    Also to anyone who reads this, I’ve actually met this girl through a friend of mine and she’s lovely, so no saying anything bad about her ;P

  • ChromeNewt

    Snog, marry or avoid? One’s already happened and it’s ceratinly not the “avoid” option. ;)

    Ebs is military strength, weapons grade AwesomEpic. Anyone who says otherwise obviously highlights that a village somewhere is short of an idiot.

  • Lister

    A very individual, cool and insightful person. Sadly going for the usual TV trick of cutting what the person says and editing what the presenter (in this case, the pod) says.

    Yet even with the usual TV trickery I think she comes out on top.

    You look great Ebony, good for for refusing to accept the saccharine natural beauty bull. Be who you are and be no one else.

  • Bob
