I hate telly....but I caught this programme a couple of weeks ago, and it was soooo good! This poor dumply plain girl with no self esteem turned into a gorgeous woman, without mad diets or anything fancy, just a bit of love & attention from a lovely chap (a stylist).
Anyone else seen it?
(....'course, all I have to do to look good naked is take me clobber orf!)

Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir
Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen,
Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!

Although I am extremely busy, I could possibly find time to Adjudicate. For a reasonable fee, of course  |

I worked with someone who was `Goked`, as she put it. It was quite an eye-opener to realise how low her self-esteem was and what a poor body image she had. As far as her colleagues were concerned she was an attractive, bubbly woman with a a very individual style of dressing. The difference that her Gok `experience made was quite astonishing. The transformation didn`t stop after the cameras went away. She loved the `new` her and held onto her. She looked great! Plus they let her keep the bra!

I haven't seen this programme, but I've sometimes watched "What not to Wear" and I'm always upset by the degree of low self-esteem, and in some cases depression as well. Surely the lifting of self-esteem has to go deeper than appearance? On principle I wouldn't wear what someone else told me to! Why should I think they know better than I do?

Because they're professionals; and all of your troubles in life are due to the fact that you wear jumpers. Don't you know anything? |

I remember watching 'the swan' once, I think; they gathered up all the poor lady's family and friends and got them to say on camera how ugly they thought she was. Pretty barbaric, if you ask me. |

I`m with you there, incs. Heavens, haven`t we come a long way from chucking rotten tomatoes at people in stocks? Then again, participants in these programmes volunteer themselves and, I would have thought that they might have at least a glimmer of what they might be letting themselves in for. It`s an odd mix of public humilation, fleeting celebraty status and counselling (I use that word in the loosest possible way). |
