Without a computer, I’ve been watching more TV, including shows like TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress. During its commercial breaks, the network enthusiastically promotes their new spin-off featuring plus-sized, full-figured women shopping for bridal gowns.
The Biggest Loser’s executive producers can say all they want about potentially becoming “Weight Watchers for the 21st century”, but the reality is that many viewers sit in front of their TVs and crack cruel jokes about the show’s contestants. As such, I suspect that TLC’s new show will inevitably lead to more unnecessary mocking from their viewers.
Model Crystal Renn argues that “fashion can and should encourage all girls to feel beautiful”. Let’s hope that TLC’s new show will broadcast Kleinfeld’s consultants doing just that.
Happy Homecoming, Mustangs. If you happen to be flipping the channels on Friday, you can tune in to the premiere of TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress: Big Bliss and let me know what you think.
