It's no longer shocking to read stories like the one by Cathy Alter in today's Washington Post, which details the world of image consulting and upscale makeovers for teenage girls. And yet somehow, it's still a bit depressing. More »

America's Next Top Model coaches Jay Manuel and J. Alexander are currently filming their spinoff, Operation Fabulous. The premise? Mr. and Miss J ride into small towns across the country to advise everyday girls on how to "work it" in the real world. A sort of Queer Eye For The Plain Jane. More »

I have a friend, very stylish and awesome, who not long ago started dating a sweetheart of a guy. When I met the guy, he was a lovable shlub in a flannel shirt and Jansport, who sang Bob Seeger at karaoke. The next time I saw them, I did a double-take: he was kitted out in skinny jeans and a vintage cardigan, what appeared to be Frye boots, a cordovan shoulder bag in place of the backpack, Buddy Holly glasses and an artfully disheveled coiffure. My friend beamed with pride. To look at him, her boyfriend was now any Brooklyn hipster with a working knowledge of Moby Grape's discography, a taste for boutique bourbons and a casual penchant for art films. But, the thing was, he wasn't. Today's Seattle PI brings us a cute piece on why women feel compelled to make men over. Author Diane Mapes is comforted by the reality that women are simply blessed with "a highly attuned aesthetic sensibility." I wish it were that straightforward. More »

The way that Tyra and the Jays handled last night's makeovers on Top Model was by far the most outrageous, farcical, and frankly, scariest display of performance art I've seen on reality television thus far. There was a whole Snow White theme going on, and Jay Manuel brought out his scary futuristic, silver Prince Valiant wig for the occasion. The best though, were Tyra's evil, white eyes. At least she was smiling with them. Clip above. More »

Experts calculate that the total cost of Strawberry Shortcake's new look, including facelift, eyelift, nose job and freckle removal, would top $23,000! "Between the hair, the eyes, clothes and nose," observes a plastic surgeon, "Shortcake’s new look is much too extreme for real life because it’s so obvious, like that makeover TV show The Swan."

Isn't it comforting to know, in times like these, times our banks are getting emergency bailouts from Abu Dhabi and the foreclosure crisis is keeping even the mayor of Trenton awake nights — seriously, people are foreclosing on houses in Trenton? — that someone out there is making money publishing thoroughly useless $6.95 gag gift books? I thought so. Welcome to Yo, Check The Perm. I actually bought this book, though I have no idea why. I remember I was at Urban Outfitters, where I usually manage to avoid buying things by avoiding trying on things, which isn't hard, but Dodai was enabling me to buy a belt and then this damn thing caught my eye. The premise is that people look awesomer, if not necessarily better, with perms, the "misunderstood" hair treatment pioneered around the last time the economy looked like this. Are they right? Ladies and gents of the jury, your evidence: More »

Admittedly, we're a sucker for make-over shows like What Not To Wear and How Do I Look?, and we're also a sucker for older gay men so it's no wonder that Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, which premiered on Bravo last night, is like, our favorite thing ever. (Slut Machine will have a video up later.) Gunn, who stole the show on Project Runway, helps women realize their fashion potential with the help of sidekick Veronica Webb. Rebecca, Gunn's first project, was really cute, but wore nothing but jeans and t-shirts that didn''t fit her great figure. Gunn spoke in his usual adorably-snooty tone and appeared traumatized when he witnessed Rebecca in a shapeless dress — "I'll say it, it was horrifying." God, why is it that gay men can get away with being so shallow and judgey-wudgey, but if Mandie Erickson said it she would sound so...cunty? More »
