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.

the viewers can say Woman X is attractive, but she herself thinks she's the worst ever

Yes, I think that's what's happened so far. I want to see someone who the *viewers* (i.e. me...) agree looked dreadful beforehand get turned into a goddess! I have *huge* issues with letting people see me other than fully clothed. So long as I'm watching & thinking "well, of course she looked good on the catwalk; she had a great body anyway" I'll continue to believe there's nothing I can do to look better in the buff.

But that's the point, I think. All the women on there think the same way you do, and there have been quite a few who were more than a stone overweight. We're quite the devotees in this flat, and so very many times we've all gone 'but she looks fine!' at the before shots. It's all about changing your self image, and that's what he's good at doing. I adore him. :-)

He's good at doing it with the people he sees face to face, but not so much for people watching, I don't think.
