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.

You're amazing :)

The photo I keep threatening to post (me with ginger hair, a tan & not wearing black) made me cry when I dug it out a year ago. I was wearing SIZE 10 shorts, ferchrissakes, and I *still* hated my body & thought I was obese. Now I *know* I'm fatter (I can't get my old riding boots on) and would kill to be that size again.

*My* (badly-expressed) point is that I, personally, am not going to believe I can look good naked until Auntie Gok works his magic on someone who *I* think has the same problems as me, to the same extent as me. Self-centred, yes, but I can't believe I'm the only one.

So let's apply. You and me both. See if they really are looking for a stereotype with something they can already work with.
