More about TV. (I know. Please bear with me.)
So now that I have cable I am able to watch all the 532 makeover shows on a daily basis. I used to like makover shows but as in so many cases over-indulgence brings the negative aspects to light. I get so annoyed with the same old "Ohmigod you look sewwww amaaayzing!"
I want a makeover show that says the implied:"You were so dull-looking before, you had 0 style! But now! Now you are so pretty and so sexy and so, so desirable! You are such a better person! How could anyone have cared for you the way you were before? Look at your butt, your boobs and your hair - we have pointed them out with this amazing outfit and now you will finally be noticed. You GOTTA get noticed. If nobody notices you it means you're not pretty, and fun, and likeable. You also need to be liked. LIKED. Nobody likes regular people. Now that we made you over, you are finally worth some attention!"
I love it too, how the hair always has to get colored. Natural hair color is just naturally dull. Everyone looks beautifuller as a blond or a redhead. Just change it already. Say hello to the NEW you! Then the lucky subjects get to meet the friends/family/whoever and everybody is so relieved that they're not ugly anymore and love the red or the blond hair and the low-cut shirt.
Oh, just imagine the fun - if they did "The honest makeover show": "We asked a few friends and relatives to tell us what they really didn't like about you and what you could change to be more likeable." - "My wife's alright, but boy, would I love her more if she had more eyeshadow!"
I totally need a life.
