Looking good naked is easy if you already do.

Hmm.

How To Look Good Naked is a lovely idea, and I really like Gok Wan. The thing is (which I can't write / read without thinking of Aziraphale...), all the people so far look good anyway. Sure, they need a haircut and professional makeup, and the clothes make a difference, but they're all attractive at the start.

What about people with scars? With eczema? Who aren't in proportion? Who are more than a stone overweight?

Bah.

Ah - but isn't that what Gok Wan is trying to get women to see? That other people don't see the "buts" at all?

(Note that I am just as bad as anyone else, and pretty much detest my shape, size, hair, feet . . .)

I don't know. He certainly works magic with the people he works with, but I'm not sure it translates well over tv. If everyone's watching and thinking, "Well, of *course* she could do it" and "But I'm worse!" they'll still feel awful about themselves.

Unless they can see someone who they think has the same problems as them transformed, or someone who they think looks *even worse*, I don't think he's going to be successful.
