Makeover Shows!
There are so many current makeover shows on T.V right now, such as Queer Eye For The Straight Guy ,TLC's What to wear and another show called 10 Years Younger. All of these shows display people who are not doing their best to keep their appearance looking up to date,so when the hosts of the show What Not To Wear which are Stacy and Cliton also known as the fashion police come to your town and put you on the show, that means you need some serous help in the fashion department. Now at times Stacy and Cliton can be a bit harsh and somtimes just plain mean! but they do it all out love, because they want you to leave their show looking and feeling like a better person. Here is the way the show works, one of the family members or love ones have to nominate a person in need of a fashion makeover,then they send in a tape of the person wearing some of the uglyliest colthes they've ever worn, but the catch is that the person being nominated does not know they are being taped and will have to follow all of Stacey and Clitons rules of fashion! Stacy and Cliton then look over the tape and decide if that person is really in need of some fashion help. If that person is picked Stacey and Cliton come to the city the person lives in and then the person is forced to their secret footage that their family have friends had submitted to the show. After some heavily coaching on what to wear and what not to wear they put that person to the test. They give that person a credit card with five thousand darllors on it to spend on a new wardrobe. Others shows like Queer eye for the straight guy gives tips on how to be a better person in general, covering things like fashion,cooking,and relationships. The show 10 Years Younger follows the same guide lines but is particularly show primarily for wemon who look 1o years older then what they are. One particular episode I remember was when this women had severe acne problems and a lot of damaged to the skin, she also had ciggarette and coffee stain marks on her teeth, then she compalined that she was to over weight and she wanted to do somthing about it. The host of the show Mark Montano sent the woman to a dermatoligist then to a dentist and then sent her to a personal trainer. the woman was also sent to a make up artist and a fashion exspert to complete the woman's over all transfermation. When I saw the woman after her make over she looked and said she felt like a new person, and she was! I know it sounds corny but I like makeover show's that not only make over the body but also the soul too. In that particular case they gave this woman more confidence and gave her a better out look on life. Other makeover show's like the Swan is somthing I truley dissagree with. Plastic surgery is not always the best option to lookng like a better person. I just feel like its very fake and not normal. I think that show is sending a message to wemon across America to be ashamed of their flaws and instead of embracing their imperfections as beauty, they would just snip, nip, and tuck it away.

I am not a fan of makeover shows. I think that people should be happy with themselves. Even if someone isn't very attractive, I want them to thing that they are the hottest thing walkin. I guess what I am saying I want everyone to have a good self image. Makeover shows just reeforce the idea that every one should look a certain way.

I think in some ways make over shows can be good for a person who needs a confidence boaster. I know it sounds corny but Not all make over shows are about covering up who you really are but giving the real you a chance to shine and feel good about your self in the process.
