Hey. How about "Queer Eye for Frumpy Broads?"

I bet it would even more popular than the current format. Let's face it, some of us broads are fashion challenged, at least I am. Not that that's a bad thing, I save A LOT of $$$$$ not buying all those nice outfits and shoes.

As the saying goes, "You can never have enough hats, gloves and shoes." - Patsy Stone, Absolutely Fabulous



edited for grammar... it's probably still wrong. :eyes:

3. They have one--it's called "What Not to Wear", on TLC and BBCAmerica...
Edited on Wed Oct-15-03 04:22 PM by tjdee
The TLC version is based on the BBCAmerica/Brit show. The American one is on Friday nights (I think?) at 10, and throughout the week.

The one on TLC's got 2 women, 2 men. One man/woman pair are the "fashion" people, the other man/woman pair are the "makeup" people. I don't know why they need to have men though, the Brit version just has two women, and they're awesome.

I've not seen the American one, though. The one on BBCAmerica airs on Saturday at 5:30 pm/et, 2:30 pm/pt, according to the site, but I swear I've seen it another time.

The American show:

The British (and original!) show:

5. I love them!
I've never been too excited by American copies of Brit shows (good lord, we're probably thisclose to an American AbFab *shiver*), so I've not had the chance to catch it.

Thank god that didn't happen. There are no actresses on earth that could play Pasty, Eddie, Saf and Mum better than the orginals.



"Yeah BABE!"
