I forgot that there was a reality tv thread! So, I'm very enamoured of How to Look Good Naked. You guys have it yet?

I don't think so! It sounds familiar but what is the premise?

I think it is premiering on TLC soon. I've seen a couple f commercials for it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's Carson Kressly's show, isn't it?

Well in the British version, there this guy called Gok Wan. And each week he takes a woman with no self confidence and makes her love her body again. It makes me cry pretty much every week. Some of these women haven't let their own husbands see them naked and by the end of the show they're doing catwalk shows in lingerie.

I would watch it, but I hate Carson Kressley. I could handle him on QE, tempered by the others, but not when he's the focus.

hah! I just went to check out the website for his version and his rules are cracking me up:
RULE 4: Wax and shave the hair on your body – your muff area should always be maintained
"muff area" heh

We get the Gok one in Canada on one of the cable channels. I've only caught it occasionally but thought it was fabulous! I love the huge naked picture on the side of a building! Also, the line up of all sorts of women in all shapes and sizes in their underwear (or knickers!)
