Terminalcoffee discussion

I would have nominated my boss from three jobs ago. She wore clothes from the early 80's all the time, and even had a sort of mullet.

My current beef with Clinton & Stacy is that they keep making over people who just dress too casually, not fashion disasters. And they don't makeover men anymore. What's up with that?

And I don't think $5,000 is enough. They should give the contestants $10,000.

I would like to nominate myself.

You don't have a mullet.

Close enough. You can't see the back of my hair there. It's nearly to my waist! Besides, I'm more concerned about my wardrobe than my hair.

Why? What's wrong with how you dress?

I would have nominated our previous Prime Ministers wife but thankfully she's no longer in the limelight.

Edit: I deleted the image way too scary.

I nominate myself, also. $5k guilt-free spending? Makeup tips? Crap haircut that will easily grow out? Sign me up. I am in the "whatever is most comfortable" camp. If I won the mega-super-powerball, I'd pay for the humiliation.

Carol and Barb, maybe they would do a group project with the three of us. a trip to NYC would be awesome!

I go for practical. Practical is not always very um...fetching. Think combat pants (in grey or black only), hiking shoes and some fugly winter gear! If I ever try to be even a bit feminine, well it's laughable. Literally. People laugh.

Don't forget to stop by and say hello if you're in town, Petra.

the tent in the park, right ;)

That's right. And we have Pabst Blue Ribbon thanks to Cynthia's brother.

I'd like to nominate myself as well. You can tell which day of the week it is by what I'm wearing.

I’m the same at work... I have four ‘work’ outfits, one for each day which I get all ready on my day off. All the rest of my clothes are the same (I buy three of anything that I really like).

Really- I just want the five grand.

I'm from the UK. On the US version, do they do the touching the boobs bit that Trinny and Suzanna used to do? It was really interesting watching the make over women's faces when they did that. You could see the "Ooh I'm British and I'm not comfortable with a stranger touching my boobs" thoughts conflict with the "Must be polite in public at all times" thoughts. If I remember rightly, it generally looked like the women had accidentally bitten into a lemon.

My old boss would wear old fleece tops to work with sweats... one of the fleece tops had a moose wearing a scarf on it.

Her closet definitely needs to be cleaned out. And for some reason, she feels compelled to give me all her hand-me-downs.

I'd like to be on it! I could pretend to wear bad clothes so they would feel compelled to dress me well. I have THE hardest time finding things that fit me well - either too long and comfy or short and tight.

Yeah, I think I could probably nominate myself. My problem is that I can't afford the clothes that fit me well. Clothes that aren't well tailored drape off of me. Christine Hendricks syndrome. I have one or two items in every category of need that fit me well, but not enough, so I make up for it on the other days of the week with t-shirts and hoodies and jeans.

Ahahahahaha, I am so there. Sometimes I change up the shirt, but M-F I have Pants for every day. By Thursday I'm so tired from getting up at 5 am every day it's the only way I can tell what day it is at times. :)

Oh, and I would never nominate myself, because I'm terrified of being in front of a crowd...camera. It'd take a lot more than $5,000.00 to get me to do that, and I've been to NY - Meh. I can think of 1 of my 5 bosses who needs some serious help, but if they don't do guys anymore that doesn't work either.

Everybody just wants the five grand so they can buy new clothes. Including me.

I don't think anybody really believes they are fashion disasters.

My friend Keith, whom we describe as "a white man trying to dress like a black man."

I saw someone the other day and when I tried to describe it to someone I said:

"if their dress sense was a person, I'd shoot them, stake them through the heart, chop off their head, salt them and torch them just to make sure it didn't come back to haunt me..."

They got the idea...
