I Did A Marathon, and I'm Exhausted |

Nevermind that it was a "What Not To Wear" marathon, on TLC this weekend. That's neither here nor there.
After watching over 6 hours of the show, I am pleased to report that Clinton and Stacy have really toned down the snark, and were more about the fashion-love for the participants.

And some of the guests? Not so easy to work with.
I found myself yelling at the television, when one humor-free waif kept harping on a non-existent "top-heavy" issue. She must have weighed 85 pounds, so any amount of breastage would have seemed ungainly to her.
Clinton and Stacy are faced, not only with badly-dressed participants, but women with some fairly serious body issues. That can't be easy.
I do go slightly bananas when hairstylist, Nick Arrojo, refuses to allow anyone to keep their hair-length below their collarbone. I have suffered through shorter cuts, and know they are less-flattering on me, so I completely identified with the woman who argued with him, to the point where he was visibly annoyed, and agreed to keep the length. He did not give her the signature hug at the end of the cut.
With the makeover portions of these shows, I have flashbacks to episodes of "America's Next Top Model", where a number of the girls looked positively hideous after the makeover. The "experts" don't always know best.
Like when Tyra made Jade go blonde:

I agree Stacy and Cliton have gotten better but......I still love the ORGINAL BBC "What Not to Wear" girls Trinny and Susannah. They're the first ones to point out their own faults on camera. I'd watch them for 6 hours.
