What Not To Wear

I found a new guilty pleasure on tv last night - a show called What Not to Wear. Each episode features a different person whose friends and/or family have decided that said person needs a wardrobe makeover. The hosts Stacy and Collin first trash the person's entire current wardrobe, then teach them how to dress to accentuate the parts of their body they are more comfortable with, while at the same time de-emphasize parts they don't like as much. They also teach the frumpy people how to shop for clothes that will make them more sophisticated and professional- looking. Not only does the person get $5000 to spend on a new wardrobe, but they also get a makeover as well. I can't believe the transformations some of these people go through! It's amazing how much different they look when they actually wear clothes that fit them properly. I would love to go on a show like that, it would be so cool to have stylists tell you what kind of clothes and styles work best for you personally. One of the coolest things about the episode last night was that they went in the H&M store on 5th Ave in New York to buy the majority of the person's new wardrobe. Umm yeah, we were SO there when we -"we" being me, Soney, Janine, Jane, Gina, Linda, Leah, and Lois- went to NY last year! That makes us all famous by default since we were in a store that they filmed a show in! Woot woot! (SOME of us were already famous prior to the NY trip due to an MTV appearance in college though, so this is kinda old news. Still cool though!) As Jane kept saying in NY, "It's like our stars were aligned or something!" ha ha :)
