Two Ladies & Their TVs

We love our shows so much we created a blog for it.

What Not To Wear: Laurie

This show is generally fun (for the hosts can be very brutally honest in their comments) and informative (I've learned so many tricks to dress for my body type), but on occasion this show makes me cry.

Tonight was one of them, as they decided to help a woman who has been stuck back in the '80s, sporting a huge mullet with a braid and very baggy clothes. At times it was hard to tell she was even a woman. She was so eager to learn and to look like a sexy mama. Apparently, she had spent an entire decade caring for her grandmother, and when that decade passed, she was stuck where she was in terms of fashion, not having paid any attention to herself. But when they were done with her, she looked like a nicely-dressed, middle aged woman who was full of confidence. She was so grateful that she was in tears at the end, and I couldn't help but feel good for her.

I'd kill to have her body if I were her age. And that accent? I could tell it was from Beantown right away. She kinda reminded me of my old landlady, actually. Not the mullet thing but the Bawston accent and the sorta non-feminine attire, and on top of it all a very good-natured chattiness about her.

I hope they never cancel this show.
