Those Wacky Fashion Shows - Page 4

Somewhere in the middle of this show the fashion victims will fall back on their former inappropriate method of dressing. The show's hosts, watching on some sort of closet camera type of thing, might see the former hippie appraising some psychedelic type of tunic, which requires that the hosts run from hiding directly onto the store's property and save the fashion victims from themselves.

Of course the fashion victims receive an updated hairdo and makeup application, dons their new and more stylish clothing purchases, and makes a grand entrance, again to ooohs and aaahs from the audience.

How Do I Look?
=============
This is Grandmother's favorite show Kaitlyn, as it has the most interesting presentation.

Hosted by Finola Hughes, the show features yet another fashion victim nominated by three "accomplices". The accomplices usually include a friend, often a boyfriend or girlfriend, a family member, often a sister, and a stylist picked by Hughes.

The fashion victim must present his or her self fully attired in a "typical" outfit. The accomplices then hoot and howl and criticize.

Again, Kaitlyn, it is not ugly people given these makeovers and the casual TV viewer can plainly see the fashion victim's great potential. Great potential that will result in the grand Reveal and this is exactly why the fashion victims are chosen.

After the accomplices critique the fashion victim's usual choice of clothing, sometimes to the tears of the fashion victim, each of the accomplices are given $700 and sent off to buy our poor fashion misfit more appropriate clothing, at least as they see it.

The accomplices are charged with creating three "looks" for the fashion victim, generally a "workplace" look, a "date" outfit, and what is called a "wildcard" outfit, an outfit that as the accomplices see it, best capture the fashion victim's personality and quirks.

The fashion victim then reviews the three outfits as chosen by EACH accomplice. The full outfits are draped on a mannequin that the fashion victim can see the entirety of the collection. The fashion victim will either ooh in pleasure as the curtain is removed from each mannequin or snort in derision.

Each accomplice must also provide a suggested hairstyle and makeup routine. If the fashion victim selects a particular accomplice's "collection" then he or she must agree with that accomplice's choice of hair style and make up.
