I don't know, I think she's pulling it off pretty well.

And I sure as gently caress wouldn't listen to that female host; her lipstick shade is atrocious. She'd look okay in coral, but pink makes her look colorblind. Also, her outfit is super boring. Everyone looks good in a generic dark-colored dress.

Eh, the host has been styled by a wardrobe and makeup department, can't really blame any bad makeup choices on her personally. As for Megumi, she is pulling it off OK, but she's really on the edge - a few mores wrinkles, a little more sag in her face and it'll just look kinda sad, like desperately clinging to the time she was a vivacious 20-year-old against all odds and reality. She is really pretty, it would be a shame for that to be lost in the awkwardness of her dressing so clearly anachronistically.

Yeah she's not a slob, but still way out there crazy.

She's also easily in her mid fourties to fifty. Anyone who claims she is 39 usually has fire pants. Just ask my mom who for the longest time was only ten years older than me.

THANK YOU. That pink is so blue it looks practically lilac. It might be partially the lighting but that mouth makes her look like her liver is failing.

Everyone looks older without their makeup, especially on camera.

I don't know, I think shows like that should be for people who want to learn how to fit in but were never taught, not for shaming people for dressing abnormally. She's not harming anybody, and honestly I think she's making it work for now. If it doesn't work tomorrow, change it tomorrow.

Oh my god, seriously. And she really needs a warmer hue there to pop. I don't know how she got that kind of pink outside Lip Smackers anyway. Horrible.

I actually really like WNTW but in that little promo video Stacy's lip color makes her teeth look very yellow. That may just be flourescent lighting or whatever but that's why I personally stick with a few shades I know don't clash like that. I appreciate her experimental nature and I love that she embraces her grey streak. I think they offer flattering fashion advice that's well tailored to the show's current guest/project.

But yeah, quit being ridiculously goony guys. Stacy is a stylist, pretty sure it's not all selected for her.

What I'm finding really awkward is American reality tv in general.
Yes, it's all scripted-ish crap no matter the country of origin, but the USA branded versions of these shows always seem to turn the over produced cheese up to 11.

The UK original is insipid trash, but I'd suffer it in and endless loop, until the planet is swallowed by the sun, than sit through a complete 90 second preview of the US transfer.

Please don't tell me the average viewer is on board with this being the bar for broadcast entertainment?

Often, networks or show runners can be pretty picky about the look they want to put forward, so her being a stylist doesn't necessarily mean they'd let her style herself all the time. That said, even if they did, she's a wardrobe stylist, not Hair & Makeup; slightly different disciplines (at least in television terms). No matter how good she is at doing her daily face-on to go with her outfits, you need a professional who knows how to do makeup for cameras, they would be absolutely nuts to let her do her own makeup.

MOVING ON: If we're gonna talk weirdo Japanese stuff, someone posted this guy's videos ages ago for their weirdness and every now and again I check back to see what this odd little Japanese man is doing. His Halloween video is the loving weirdest and super-awkward:

Apparently, as they're all like that. UK vs US Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is one of the most egregious examples. Same concept, but usual US ridiculous over production results in a completely different show.

This is totally how you should treat women, bro:

"1. Encounter (spot a girl or group of girls) 2. Engage (go up and talk to them) 3. Escalate (ask them to dance, or ask them to go up to your room or find a couch, depending on what kind of party) 4. Erection (GET HARD) 5. Excavate (should be self-explanatory) 6. Ejaculate (should also be self explanatory) 7. Expunge (send them out of your room and on their way out when you are finished. IF ANYTHING EVER FAILS, GO GET MORE ALCOHOL. I want to see everyone succeed at the next couple parties. "

What not to Wear is a decent show; the problem with that particular participant is that she's obviously fine with her style aesthetic. I mean yeah, she's honestly too old for it, but it's not anything more egregious than a trashy Forever 21 outfit. The best contestants are the ones who don't really know how to style themselves and are obviously unhappy with their image. They get the most benefit from it, because they're actually willing to go along with the process and enjoy finding out how to express themsevles through clothes. Plus, a lot of times, dressing sloppily or inappropriately is holding them back in their professional careers, so they want to learn how to put together a sleek, classic professional outfit. This lady clearly has no need or desire to dress that way so I don't know why they even bothered (she's good TV, that's why).

How Do I Look? is way more awkward, because those contestants are all really defensive and unpleasant about the process. That makes me cringe.
