The Swim Aids are excited. We all are big fans of the TLC reality show “What Not To Wear”. We’ve referenced it on here before. Actually, co-host Stacy London wore the same dress Kaitlin did at Golden Goggles on one of their shows.

Anyway, for those of you who aren’t as informed, “What Not To Wear” is a makeover show. TLC was inspired by the wildly popular version of the show that airs across the pond.

The fashion victim, referred to as contributers, is usually stuck in a rut or just doesn’t know how to dress themselves well. They are typically nominated by friends and family. Then they are secretly filmed for a couple of weeks. This evidence collection will be thrown back in the contributer’s face during the show. Oh, the embarassment!

Stacy London and Clinton Kelly offer the contributer $5000 to purchase a brand new wardrobe as long as their rules for fashion are followed. The victim’s old wardrobe is critiqued and thrown away (not really, they donate it to charity). The cherry on top is that the contributer also gets a session with a hair stylist and makeup artist to help them put their new look together.

So now that I’ve explained the premise of the show, get ready, because Tara will be featured in an upcoming episode. Read her account of the experience on her blog.

I already watch “What Not To Wear” every Friday. I can’t wait to see Tara’s episode!
