Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

They make a huge thing out of makeovers showing on the outside the changes the housemates went through on the inside and then they wreck the makeovers. Some of the makeovers are so stange they'll embarass people later like high school yearbook pictures do. Andy had Sommer try things that were way too low and too tight so Sommer decided to cover up instead and I don't blame her. But there was nothing to flatter her new body and even boots covered her legs.

I like that.

I couldn't disagree more. I think it's great that Andy comes back to do the makeovers, showing that she's accomplished her goal and is happy. I think she does a wonderful job, the women all end up looking beautiful, as does Andy herself! And Sommer's makeover was great. I loved her dress and the hair, while I hate short hair, looked great on her!

IMO, the best makeover was when Iyanla insisted (last year) that the housemates helped Katrinda (Candy) with her makeover.
Layne (I think it was) and Tess were going to shop for the dress and shoes, Alisson did the makeup and Rachel worked on Katrinda's hair. It was superb! :)

Is that a fact?
I remember how great Candy looked after her makeover. Oh well.
She didn't get one with AP?

Makeovers are not miracles, you have to work with what you have, just like haircuts, some you'll like, some you won't and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Overall she's done a good job and she does seem very nice. She always is so excited for them and tries to make them feel good about themselves, that's what it's all about.B)

She does suit some people's taste and that's great.. nothing wrong with that. Others she doesn't. Nothing wrong with that either. That's whats great about the diversity in this world.. there is something for everyone. What confuses me is why.. if someone doesn't agree with someone else.. it's seen as offensive to that person. We are different and we need to learn to accept those differences more freely and openly.. then we might just get somewhere.

I agree that this is a great forum in which we can express our opinions. I, for one, really enjoy ready the thoughts of others who share something in common with me-being an SO fan. And, I like that we are able to disagree and keep a dialogue going. I don't think that it is mean and catty thing to do. Also, I wish that there was a way for us to keep the show going, but I have not come up with a solution. My only suggestion is that if the show does go on, let them hire another stytlist. Andy has run her course.

Diplomacy at its best! Me too!
