Just discovered a great little series courtesy of the BBC. These people are unbelievable narcissists. Let's see what happens when this cute highland boi gets some style advice from a highly advanced computer.

This is what young English girls watch when we're drunk at someone's house at 1 in the morning. Pure trash that you can't stop watching. He looks adorable in his new outfit. And while I do love a bit of glitter, his was just extreme. Usually when they catch up with the people on the show they all go back to the way they looked before. Shame really.

Oh, that's too bad. POD makes them look so much better than before.

I learned a good bit of slang from imbibing a row of these yesterday (sort of like pints). Makeup = slap. Also, British people say "em" when Americans say "um". The one with Jodie Marsh was classic. I had never heard of her, but she was a prime candidate for the makeunder.

IT is a shame, but a lot of young people really want to look like Jodie Marsh she was a page 3 girl (cheap british 'newspapers' often have a huge picture of a well endowed topless girl on page 3) and kind of followed the Jordon/Katie Price style. Not great role models in any way, but especially in the north of England, there are lots of girls with orange tans and huge false eyelashes.

It's always odd explaining English slang to Americans. We get so much American TV here, it's pretty commonplace here, apart from more regional quirks.

Fascinating! I thought this was a spoof at first because it seemed impossible that his initial look was real. Quite an improvement, that is.

(Srsly I'm a little baffled about who this look is supposed to attract--?)

Other fake-tanned, bling-wearing, glittery bois? The makeup looks nearly as extreme as ganguro or some other trend from japan.

The lip glitter is what gets me. Two people wearing lip-glitter macking on each other--how can that be comfortable? It seems like a recipe for unsightly abrasions.

I just watched another little video of him--what, sidetracked, me?--and he really does seem to love the attention he gets for his look, so I doubt he'll keep the make-under. (He does say he doesn't know anyone else in Aberdeen who look like him, so I guess for now he's safe from the perils of glitter makeouts. Still possibly in danger of cutting off the circulation to vital body parts with those hot pants, though.)

I think the jangly junk around his neck is the worst.

What if Jim made himself up like that? Spock would be all "remember the IDIC, remember the IDIC"
