Dresses over Jeans?

Oooh, so they're spreading the disease of bad clothing!! Or they're ensuring future work. Hmmm...

LOL

Yeah, I have considered that, having to get rid of all of my other clothes. But, hey, a big part of my wardrobe are my concert t's. I love those things!

And, I agree, CP, it is all about fit. I can take an armfull of really nice things into the dressing room but if I think they don't look right, I will not buy them. I won't try to 'carry' an outfit because of its' current fashion popularity.

I actually hope that when the WNTW team shows up at my house it will be Susannah and Trinny and NOT Stacy and Clinton. Stacy is the LEAST helpful of all of the WNTW people. She spends more time being "funny" (not) than actually giving good advice. The Brits are so much better.

I agree but in the latest BBC season Trinny and Susannah are gone and their replacements suck.

BBC has had some follow up shows where they go back and see if the person is still dressing better or has reverted to their former ways. Most have at least reverted back a little bit.

Oh, that's just SAD!

THANK YOU. I definitely prefer the British WNTW to the American. Stacy and Clinton are too... well too NY. And they always tell the person to sport a vintage look.

Susannah and Trinny do much better with talking about cuts, and proportion. They're less worried about patterns and colors, which Stacy and Clinton seem obsessed with. I'd only ever consider this show if it were the British team.

They should do an exchange! How fun would that be?

[Prudence]

I think one of the BBC folks has made the fugly gals' site a few times.

I personally adore Clinton. So there.

[Not Afraid]

Clinton doesn't bother me too much. It is Stacy that ruins the show for me. But, I actually watch the show once every 3 months or so. Plus, I'm a picky bitch.

One day Stacy is going to get the **** kicked out of her. I hope it's Clinton who does it. She is the most gratuitously snarky, unhelpful, Simon Cowell of the fashion world wannabe and her own style of dress leaves a lot to be desired.

I really need to watch the British version- everyone says I'd like it way better.

But they aren't going to show you that, it makes for bad TV, and the target doesn't allow TLC to use their likeness. Supposedly, the drop-outs are when they pick up more local NY/NJ targets.

Of course, if the person does tell them to sod off that episode never gets made and therefore is never seen.

You guys have it covered.

WNTW is the only one of these shows that I'll watch. Sometimes they get a bit mean, and sometimes I'm not sure I dig what they're pushing, but most of the time I think they do a good job. Yeah, Stacy is a bitch, and sometimes it's a bit too much.

I watched that 10 Years Younger show a couple of times and that makes being on WNTW look like a cakewalk. Not only do they do that horrid glass booth where random strangers tell you you look old, but they do all the surgery stuff...I'm still not a fan of the concept that you are not a good looking person for your age unless you get work done. Blech.

There was one WNTW ep where they told a flat chested woman that she absolutely had to wear gel-filled bras in order to look good. I'm all for the idea of informing her about how padded/push up/gel bras help (I wear a padded bra, like most small chested women, much of the time) but the way they put it, she wouldn't look good at all without it. Sigh. The message ends up being, "your body is not good enough."
