Having half an hour to spare I was tempted by the Channel 4 programme "How to look good -naked" in which a frumpy woman is given a make-over before appearing nude in the final sequence.
The prospect of getting an eyeful of female flesh proved too much to ignore.
But what a disappointment.The Oriental style-guru -with the curious name of
Gok Wan- promised us a transformation of a rather comely lady by fitting her with a new brassiere and an uncomfortable-looking corset -plus the usual streaky hair and face paste -prior to a nude photo session.
And what did we see - nothing!Not even a nipple never mind a glimpse of her minge.For some reason the transformed lady kept her knickers on throughout.
Does the Trade Descriptions Act apply to misleading TV programmes?

i'll agree with you there - they only look good with clothes on cos they have on girdles, magic pants, corsets, bum lifting tights, evrything!

i watched it last week, and yeh they made her look better, but anyone could have done that.

this show is just another crappy makeover show, normally rserved for 2pm weekdays!

:)

Do they have anything similar for males ? If they do , I would like to apply now .I could do with any sort of ' make-over ' , to be perfectly honest . I could even do with a ' make-under ' if they do those too.
I mean , I'm not in bad nick but with a bit off here and a bit added on there ,I'm sure I could look even better .
I'd feel a bit shy , posing in the nude at the beginning [ but that would depend on the money , of course ] but , if they made a good job of it , I wouldn't half mind showing my all at the end of the process .
I 've often thought of trying to get on Big Brother but this sounds even more exciting . By the way , what's a " minge " ?

Having re-read Mr. Bazzo's vivid description of the make-over programme , I now realise that I wasn't being completely honest .
The fact is , that I've been wearing a corset for years now .However , if I did have a make-over , I would hope that those in charge of the transformation would be generous enough to give me a more effective one . The one I'm using now was inherited from my mother around 25 years ago and nips round the middle , especially after a large meal .
All I want really , in that department anyway , is something to make the stomach look smaller , hence , by comparison , making everything else look bigger or more inviting .
To be honest , I don't have any great ambitions , even after a possible make-over . At best , I expect I will only be able to pull some aged crone from the City Hall tea dances or some drunken old biddy , lurching out of a nightclub at 4 a.m. , desperate but eager . My only other hope is to meet some ' femme fatale ' who has also been transformed by the miracle of modern body engineering .
If none of that works , I will take other steps .
