Today's a bit of a fluff episode, so the recap will be super brief. I mean super brief! Oprah has fashion guru Carson Kressley on the show. He says one thing that's so right--tights are not pants! Tights are great, but they aren't pants, so wear something long over them! He encourages people to wear colors that make them feel beautiful.
Randy and Nina
Randy and Nina used to live in Montreal and Manhattan; she even worked in high fashion. They said good-bye to city life and moved to a farm in upstate New York. They've become very relaxed and their clothes are very relaxed. Carson took them to Nordstrom and dressed them up, and they look fantastic! Not at all "country-fied" anymore. He does a good job of matching things that work with the fact that they do live in the country. In other words, realistic clothes that are stylin'. Lovely.
Carson Hits Up the Jersey Shore
Carson gives people fashion advice whilst visiting the Jersey Shore. From a man looking "Santa Claus-ish" in a big red T-shirt and suspenders to a woman wearing what could only be Michael Jackson's Thriller video red pleather jacket made into a head-to-toe outfit, he gently helps direct people toward how to update their look. The lady, Patricia, is in the studio wearing some dark denim jeans, a long white tank with a skinny belt over it on her waist, and the same red jacket. She looks great!
Mia & Ty
These two live in clothes that are super comfortable. The husband wears a T-shirt, shorts, socks, and flip-flops. It's... interesting. Ty calls Mia's style Alabama sexy--she wears T-shirts and sweats. Carson dresses them up for a date night, and they look awesome! Ty tells Mia she looks like a movie star and then tells the audience to turn their heads for a minute. Once again, they look awesome :)
John & Kate (not that Jon & Kate)
John's clothes are... awful. Everything has holes and his shirts are so thin that you can see everything through them. Everything Kate wears is cotton and stretchy, and John cuts her hair, so when she went to get it cut somewhere else a year ago they said that one side was 2" longer than the other! In their makeover, Kate has a new accessory that makes her mom scream--John proposed and she said yes!
Linda & Clark
Linda wears birkenstocks and hasn't cut her hair since 1985. Clark outdoes her, though--he wears kilts every day! I have to say, the fact that they are from Seattle does not shock me :) Clark even wears his kilts while he teaches a class as a law professor. The awesomely awesome looking in a grey suit Clark tells Oprah that Seattle is the home of a kilt company and that you see guys all over Seattle wearing kilts. I have to say here that you sure don't! I live in Seattle--Seattle-Seattle, not the suburbs--and have never seen a man in a kilt! Linda, with her gorgeous haircut (Ken Paves did all of the haircuts), looks about 25 years younger.
Darren & Becky
Darren wears roughed up jeans with holes and stains, T-shirts, and ballcaps every day. Becky wears scrubs a lot because she's a nurse, and she wears "house shoes" (read: fluffly slippers!) everywhere--to the post office, grocery store, etc. They both look super awesome again and it's clear to me that Carson thinks that a man has to be wearing a jacket of some sort if they are made over. It's cool, but my husband sure isn't into them! Becky is sweet and says that she can't decide if she's been in Chicago the last few days, or in heaven.
Carson's Own Shows
Oprah had Carson do a show for her new network, the Oprah Winfrey Network, in which they did an American Idol or Next Food Network Star type search for a person to have a show on the network. It's called Your OWN Show. Carson will also be doing a fashion-oriented show for OWN called Carson-Nation.
Rich & Peggy Sue
We see a clip from 1987, in Oprah's first ever makeover show. Whoa, hello 80s! We get to see the makeovers of a couple named Peggy Sue and Rich and Oprah has them in the studio today. Oprah asks how long they kept it going, and Peggy Sue says they kept it up for a few months, but her sage advice to the people from today's show is that as they slip back into your old ways try to remember snippets of the experience they are having to hold onto because it's "fabulous." Oprah clarifies that people should use it to transform a part of themselves.
She thanks Carson and Ken, and we're out!
Gospel Filter Review (GFR)
I don't think there is a single thing wrong with looking good. But I sure have written about fashion before so you can read about it in the GFR of this post. It's written primarily to women, though the principles of worshiping Jesus in all things and allowing ourselves to look nice without worshiping our image hold true for men as well. I've also written about beauty and you can see that GFR as well.
I will reiterate that transformation does not happen from the outside in--Jesus transforms us from the inside out.
Tomorrow is about favorite things and I can't lie--I'm excited to see people win free stuff!
