Veronica, dahling, can we talk?

You're tall, thin, gorgeous, witty, and smart. So, do you mind if I give you some advice? Change your hair and makeup. As Tim's sidekick in Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, you are coming across as the person who needs a makeover.

If I may suggest: Soften your hair style a bit. Right now your hair is so mannish that it clashes with some of the outfits you've worn on the show. And your lipstick is so light that one of my friends thinks you have a mustache. I don't think you do, but he swears you have one. I think your upper lip looks dark because your makeup makes you look washed out.

Now, normally I wouldn't tell a woman of your beauty and style how to look. It's none of my business what hairdo you choose or the kind of makeup you wear, but as Tim's sidekick, you are setting yourself up as a style icon.

Thanks for listening, dahling. I'm not saying you look awful; you simply don't look much better than the women you are helping.

Rumbles in Tim Heaven

Well I like Tim Gunn's new show, Guide to Style, even though I am hearing a few grumbles. "I hope the show doesn't have that predictable format every week. That would be boring," said one co worker as we dissed the show around the water ooler.

"Veronica looks mannish," said someone else. Even Tom and Lorenzo would seem to agree with that assessment.

As for me, I adore the whole concept of Tim assessing a woman's look before, during, and after her transformation, trashing her wardrobe, showering her with gifts, taking her for a hair and makeup makeover, and introducing her to designer clothes. I could do without the "life coach," however. Walk the carpet in a garbage bag? Puhlease.


Not everyone is as enamored of the show as me. Frankly, it will take a whole lot of ugly and repetition for me to get bored with this pat formula - at least until Project Runway airs. Thanks for this breath of fresh air, Bravo. Love Tim. Love Veronica Webb. Adore the show. Ahhhh. Finally some relief from that Hey Paula debacle.

Hey Paula

Life lessons from Paula Abdul...

#1. Keep your canine friends off the bed.
(Why the hell would you let your freakin mutts on the bed in the first place when you have Boo-Q bucks worth of jewels spread out?)#2. Don't appear on television when you haven't slept or had a decent meal in 3-4 days.
(It's her story and she's sticking to it.)
#3. Have a strong work ethic.
(Apparently nobody works as hard as she does.)
#4. Beware of how you manage your time.
(In other words, be late for everything.)
(Tim Gunn had to wait on her slow ass!)

#5. This is the most important lesson of all.....
Travel in comfort.
(For God's sake, don't forget the damn sweats and white sneakers!)

Now tell us what you think.
