Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

What Not To Wear Ends

October 26, 2013

While it is sad to say goodbye to such a cherished show in my life (and in the lives of so many women), the lessons I have learned will always remain with me. They’ve covered all the bases of every fashion problem you could imagine and they also covered a really big issue for most women: self-esteem. I learned so so much about how clothing can fit into my life and how it’s not a sin to dress in nice clothes or wear makeup to make you feel more attractive. Even on a budget we can all dress well.

I used to watch the show every Friday (with chocolate) and laugh and cringe and always cry at the end because those women were so lucky to have such a wonderful thing happen to them. While I have to say it would have been a dream come true to be on the show, I probably would have worn a bag over my head the whole time. Having a spotlight on me is something I avoid.

I have watched the show from the beginning when it wasn’t Clinton as Stacy’s sidekick but Wayne Scot Lukas. I loved the show right away and it helped as much as expensive therapy just to watch. I was laughing every single week and how I needed to laugh! I still remember Pizza Toe Shoe Woman (as I called her) putting a piece of pizza right next to her pointy toe shoes. So much fun! They never showed Season 1 in reruns but I wish they did because they were the beginnings of this fantastic show and we should all remember where we come from.

There is so much more I’ve said to the WNTW team in my fantasies, but for now I’ll leave at this. To Stacy, Wayne, Clinton, Nick, Carmindy – and Ted? never got to see any episodes with him as we jumped to a lower Dish package – THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for giving me a laugh when I needed it, advice as if you were my BFF, and courage to start finding out and being who I truly am. Stacy and Clinton you are angels on my shoulders now whenever I go shopping for clothes – I couldn’t have started doing that again without your help. Love you and miss you!
