We miss you Wayne!

Well, i just saw an old episode of "What not to wear", with the old set and of course the old crew--- WAYNE! And though I do think that Clinton is a super cuite and does give great advice, I still miss the saucy and ever-so-confident-bridging-on-arrogant-well-at-times-very-arrogant-but-we-love-it-since-his-advice-DOES-make-sense Wayne. Deep down, his fashion sense was incredible, and coinsided with Stacy's approach to finding the right fit and style for your body type. they're not there to tell you to lose weight or get bigger boobs, but about "look what we can find underneath those horrible clothes".

Anyway, this episode was another gem, where they make over an Opera singer. She was an urban pessimistic city artist, with the shitty clothes (meaning "i don't need those fake fancy clothes to make myself look good" fashion statement) to match.

The episode reminded me the amazing set they used to have, not the warehouse with temporary dry walls separating each room. The camera work was much more professional and not this horrible "real TV" look, which i'm assuming they wanted for the new season. You're supposed to make the fashion gurus LOOK like gurus, not ugly messes.. that's the point of TV :) But luckily Nick Arrojo and Carmindy are still there since the first season, so there's hope.

Anyway, a highlight from this old episode is definitely when Wayne found the Opera singer a new coat, replacing her old fattening grey thing she was wearing. he threw it off, and told her to put on the new coat. She loved it (of course) but after said "but what about my grey coat?"... "what coat???" replies Wayne. He proceeds to use the coat as a mop with his feet and starts repeating "clean up on aisle 5, clean up on aisle 5!"

Priceless. This kid was on the floor in hyserics.

Well, I do miss ya Wayne, and of course all the other things. (i'm sick of Clinton waving the Visa card everywhere.. remember when it was a cheque and they paid CASH? ah well... perhaps they lost a key sponsor and had to cut costs and find other faceless sponsors like VISA that demand more branding on the show).

It's a good thing Wayne left when he did. But not Stacy has to make up for the loss of sauciness in the show... good luck m'lady.

Take care,
