What Not To Wear Question

[Rollergirl2001]

I like the British Version better. The American version is about "what's in" while the British Version talks about dressing for your body type.

I would do it.

I tend to look like I'm a freshman in highschool, not the substitute teacher when I go in.

When I dress up, it looks like a little girl in her moms clothes. They fit, but still don't look right.

I would love to get on the show. I'm tired of looking 13ish (and the braces don't help.)

I like the British version better( they are real women with real bodies!), but Stacy, Clinton , Carmindy and Nick do some amazing make-overs. I would gladly ditch my wardrobe to be on the show, but fear I am not fashion challenged enough.

I agree. The Brit version is better, the people look more real. The black girl looks a bit mannish, though, but she dresses her body, not the body she wants. I LOVE our version, though, I get good ideas about what works well for my petite frame. I always get good makeup tips from Carmindy.

I LOVE CLINTON AND STACY!! I think they are fabulous. Now, I can't stand the hair stylist. I think he's dreadful!

Here here!
I love Stace and Clinton too. Nick can go somewhere with those scissors though... ehhh, and Carmody is ok.

If someone nominated me? I probably wouldn't care enough to get mad. He**, it's free money for good clothes and a trip to Manhattan. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

I have seen some people act like they were offended at first, but no one was unhappy about the experience at the end of the week - I know I wouldn't be.

There's no way I could do this show - unless it was makeup and hair color (not cut) only. I am far too much of a control freak (surprising, eh?).

[ladylike]

I LOVE Clinton! Stacy I can do without. If there is an episode featuring a woman with my body type, I always try to watch it.

I LOVE this show, but I am a total clothes horse. My mom jokes that $5000 wouldn't even make a dent in my wardrobe. (and according to my Visa bill, she's probably right...)

OMG, i'm the total opposite of you! Seriously, I love shopping but I probably by one top every now and then. Its probably more because i'm self-conscious about my body shape, so I don't ever like anything I try on.


I would LOOOOVE to be on this show. I like that now you can nominate yourself, although I don't think i've ever seen someone get picked that way.

I've always wondered that! How can they toss your entire wardrobe and only spend five grand to replace just about every piece of clothing you own? I rarely buy cheap clothes - work slacks, jeans, and shoes alone cost a lot of money! Besides, would you really be wearing kitten heels and a blazer to go grocery shopping? I love the show, but some of the "casual" clothing suggestions are still a little too dressy for me. I would however, love new hair and makeup. Just because I've never gone to my stylist and told her, "do what you want!" I'd be curious to see what they would do for me.

Also, what do they do with the "rejected" clothing? Do you think they throw it way or donate it to places like the Salvation Army?

They donate it, unless it's beyond hope. I watched the 'behind the scenes' episode they did last year, and they made a point of mentioning that.

They also said that some people have asked if Clinton and Stacy are in a relationship.... How anyone in the country could have not figured out that Stacy is the wrong gender for Clinton is beyond me.

I am not one of those people...but sometimes I question Clinton's sexual orientation. lol. There are times he's on a show and he says something about a woman and i'm like

I space out my big spending so as not to cause complete heart failure, but I'm kinda in the same boat.

$5 k from that show would buy me 10 complete outfits MAX (that's skimping on the shoes) were I to follow my natural tastes and inclinations on clothes.

Yeah, but have you seen the man react int he face of the lingerie section? Hilarious. I don't know what he'd do if confronted with a thong, in any context.
