Originally Posted By MomofPrincess Yep, I love this show! Have been hooked on it for a few years now. It really does help with shopping decisions! Unfortunately my 7yo has caught onto the gig, though, and when I pick out something SHE doesn't like, she'll say, "Stacy & Clinton wouldn't approve of this, mom." Aye yi yi...
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I've seen it a few times but I don't really like it. They would probably make me wear something besides jeans and a polo. I LIKE jeans and a polo. Or when it's hot, jean shorts and a polo. I even wear multiple colors of each so people can tell it's not the same thing I wore yesterday. I'm pretty sure Stacy & Clinton wouldn't like it though. Oh well.

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy I love WNTW, and even better, I get paid to watch it! Sometimes Stacy and Clinton can be a little biting, but they're so funny that the show is very entertaining (and I thought the "Queer Eye" guys were a lot harsher! lol) I love Nick and Carmindy too---they seem like they'd be a lot of fun to hang out at DL with, LOL. I love how Nick says "haih", lol. It's funny, until I started doing this show at work I never realized what a difference a makeover can make. So many of these women are just *OUTSTANDING* in the "after" results and there is a WORLD of difference in their confidence and self-esteem and professional/out-on-the-town appearances. Since I'm a masculinist I think it's unfair they only do women and wish they'd let men have *their* equal time on, but I just remind myself women have all them fancy doo-dads like skirts and dresses and blouses and shoes-out-the-wazoo (Diane Keaton has an interesting theory on that) and hair stuff and makeup and all that, so naturally it's more of a show to really "remodel" the women (lol). There was one episode though where they made over a couple, so I was glad to see my gender represented there. And I think Trippy-in-jeans-and-a-polo sounds fine. Maybe you could e-mail Stacy and Clinton and see what they think, lol.

Originally Posted By JohnS1 Actually, TDG, I guess what I resent is that they often take some person who has an individual style, who thankfully doesn't buy into the fashion gurus and look like everybody else - and these two change them into whatever the current fashion police say is what we should look like. I think it's sad when so-called experts tell us that one way is "right" and another is "wrong" when it comes to fashion. People can do whatever the heck they want, in my opinion.

Don't you ever see though at the ends of the shows when the woman is so often crying because she's so happy to see how good she *can* look, and how much better she looks? And how her loved ones are thrilled for the improvements? And for so many of them it's so much needed for their professional lives. We shouldn't place so much on appearance, but in the work and dating world that's the way it is---I know if I were a big shot corporate man or business owner, my first impressions of some of these folks wouldn't be a good one. But after their makeovers? *Amazing*. It's those ending revelations about a new lease on life, new self-esteem, and a better attitude and more confidence that wins me over. And in a lot of their updates their lives have really improved. <---would love to set his VCR for Stacy and Clinton making over JohnS1 ;-)
