Well, What Not To Wear did it again. What an amazing show! They made over this guy Eric, who was known as "Eric as Nazareth" or Jesus... Yeah, you can imagine his look. What really killed me is that he was the same body type as me. It was great, b/c i now have so many new ideas and possibilities! Who knew sticks had so many possibilities!? :)

What also killed me was Nick Arrojo (senior hair stylist). He turned Eric from Jesus to Fabrizio Fillippo (Ethan from QAF)! He utilized this colour technique that used the end of a comb to lightly add texture and colour to his hair. He gave him a look that really brought out his face and made him look very urban and fashionable. Check out the before slideshow and transition to the after slidehow, although the after pics don't do it justice. You'll have to watch the episode, or take my word for it.

Some tips from the experts (and me) for us small framed people:

1. Go for a fitted, slimmer look - no more oversized clothes, since it will make you look even smaller
2. Layering to bulk up our small frame.
3. Pants or slacks with a traditional print, but a more modern cut
4. Jeans with a higher cut find the butt you thought you never had, and contour on the sides to prevent your legs from looking like twigs
5. Sleek boots - no more contruction/hiking boots
6. Choose shirts that are cut inwards at the sides, and flare out the collar

Take care,
