Disappointing

This sends a terrible message to kids. I’ll admit, I’ve only seen one episode featuring a girl who wore lolita (Don’t worry, nothing to do with the book, just the name of a Japanese fashion) and the hosts essentialy told the girl that her clothes we're too different and “weird”, and she’d be much happier in trendy, “normal” clothes. Now, the purpose of this show should be to help people improve their style, not tell them that everything their doing is wrong and they must conform to the ridiculous idea that fashion is only fashion if it’s whatever’s trendy. This is a terrible message for children. It tells them that if they wish to express themselves by dressing alternately, they’ll only ever be made fun of and be told the same things the girl on the show was being told. They didn’t ask her what sort of clothes she liked in why, they just stuck her in some trendy outfits and called her abrasive when she didn’t like them. Please keep this show away from your kids. Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Why Such Harsh Reviews?

So, I noticed a lot of these reviews said this show is "mean" "degrading" and that this show is telling people to spend too much money on clothing. Truthfully I think this shows great. Everyone's saying that these people have no right to tell people what they should wear, but no one is noticing the fact that the people on the show have low self esteem and talk about how beautiful and amazing they feel afterwards. It's not "mean" haven't you ever heard of constructive criticism? The people on this show could use a little fashion advice, these people either totally hide themselves with their clothes and feel self conscious, or they dress like tramps. Plus it was their choice to be there. And if you had $5,000 to spend exclusively on clothing why not buy some nice designer things? The point is to buy nice things with the money they're giving you. Oh and just to be clear most designer things aren't made in third world countries, they're made in places like Italy (Gucci), France (Louis Vuitton), and the USA (Coach), just to name a few.

possitive message

lots of people think this show is mean to the people who are on it. but its not like they look for the person wearing the ugly clothes they help women to redeem themselves. all of the men and women they help have issues that made them dress like that. and this show tries to start helping them! i think lots of girls and women should watch this show.

Fashion people, watch now!!!!

I am a fan of fashion, so if you are a fashion loving kid, you might want to watch this. They do say some bad words, say stuff like 'Stripper Heels', but I really do like it. Why? In the end, it gives some insecure women, into amazing, self confident, and beautiful self. Stacy and Clinton take the inner beauty, to the outside. I think it is very heart felt.

Pointless

Honestly, the whole plot is really stupid. In fact, it's so retarded that's why I like to watch it :) The people they put on the show don't have THAT bad styles, they are just usually creepy. Stace and Clint are always dissing the people that the contestents get their clothes from. As for what to watch for, nothing really. They talk about the word sexy alot. Over all, it is ok.

It's your decision

there are a few bad words. the show is really good. they show people that they don't need to hide behind clothes and that the right clothes can make you feel and look more confident and beautiful. a lot of people say it's rude and makes you change, but what their not noticing is that in the end everyone is really happy, that's all that matters. you have to know if your child can handle watching this and if they know not to repeat what people say. it really all depends on whether or not you think your child can watch this. i suggest you watch it with them if they do watch it.

Good show often misinterpreted

Trust me and don't listen to every one who says this show is all about conformity, they are most likely missing the point Stacey and Clinton are trying to get across. The point of the show is to inform that dressing makes a huge impact on how we are all perceived and treated and that whether we agree with it or not it still exists in the world, therefore, maintaining a polished image is important in moving on in the world and feeling confident (most of the people with crazy styles who claim to be confident are just putting up a wall and are usually very unsure of themselves) for this reason I believe the show actually has a really important message and there isn't much that is inappropriate about the show.
