Maybe you'll get the version with Gok eventually...?
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love the ads for it, for sure. I think it (the Carson Kressly version) might be on Lifetime or something....

That's why I'm afraid I'll never watch it, because I don't watch anything else on Lifetime. But I mean to!

I know! Real, actual women! Nekkid! Jibbly bits and all! How rarely women's bits are allowed to be jibbly on tv these days.

Several posts upthread, there were comments about Tyson Beckford looking different. I didn't see the program, but could his changed look be due to the car accident in 2005?
It was a horrifying accident that will be forever imprinted in model Tyson Beckford's memory: a Mack truck ramming his red pickup off the road. Beckford found himself trapped inside the burning vehicle, and five weeks later, he's still recovering.
"He just pushed me right into the light pole and then the engine burst into flames," Beckford recalled. "My lip was busted, one of my teeth was knocked out and my eye was swollen shut. My nose was fractured and the blood was squirting out of my face."
(That's from ExtraTV, on 7/13/05)
I remember seeing him talk about it on Oprah, and it looked pretty horrific.

you can definitely see where his lip looks a bit . . . off in the closeup. But, I saw him in October, and he was still fine. I have a pic, but it's a bad angle, and his face looks really long.

So, I'm very enamoured of How to Look Good Naked. You guys have it yet?
I've been watching the British version in Canada and it's amazing. It's great to see a makeover show that doesn't transform a person into something they're not in a week, but takes time to work with them to learn to love who they are.
