<p>The first episode of the season tonight w/a makeover for Mindy Cohn (sp?) who played Natalie in “Facts of Life”. Wow, so weird to see child actors YEARS later - she is 44 now! </p>

<p>First kudos go to my 13 year old D who said that even though I’m 7 years older than Mindy, I look years younger than her!!! :)</p>

<p>Can I just say that I love Stacy and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Clinton!? He makes me laugh every episode - love his sense of humor!</p>

<p>She looked really cute at the end - The hair looked kind of man-ish when the dude styled it, but she seemed to loosen it up when she did it. I wasn’t initially convinced that she would truly adapt to the style changes, but she seemed quite happy with some of them at the end.</p>

<p>Love having this show back!!</p>

<p>I looked at the listings too late to see that it was on. I too love that show and am
glad that it’s back on!</p>

<p>I thought Mindy was remarkable! First, she graciously gave back the $5,000 and said she would pay for it all herself. Second, she was sooooo bright and interesting. Third, even though she’s not glamorous, she seemed very comfortable with who she is. She’s no raving beauty, but she was happy to be who she is and happy to be “improved.” I really enjoyed last night’s show.</p>

<p>My boys laugh at me because WNTW is my secret vice…I do really like that show. She looked wonderful out of those leggings and tunics.</p>

5

<p>I like the show too. Mindy was terrific, but I do wish she had gone a little darker with her hair. I didn’t think the color (either before or after) went well with her skin tone.</p>

6

<p>Agreed on the hair color. ^^^</p>

7

<p>I was amazed at how horrible her clothes (pre WNTW) were! I thought that new hair do really did a lot to make her look more “modern.”. Stacy and Clinton did a great job in putting her in clothes that really humanized her. And Mindy was such a fun person! Great show.</p>

8

<p>I LOVE this show…but I only have basic cable now. WNTW makes me want to get the extended cable. I think the show is hilarious.</p>

<p>Caught a bit of What Not to Wear last night. It featured Blossom!</p>

10

<p>The blossom one was a repeat. The new one was Mindy.</p>

<p>Clinton gave a very nice interview on NPR yesterday. NPR and What Not To Wear…who ever would have thought it?</p>

<p>[Clinton</a> Kelley Tells NPR Listeners ‘What Not To Wear’ : NPR](<a href=“http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130913345]Clinton”>Clinton Kelly Tells NPR Listeners 'What Not To Wear' : NPR)</p>

<p>An interesting Clinton factoid is that he has a master’s in journalism from Northwestern.</p>

12

<p>^^^And an undergraduate degree from Boston College.</p>

13

<p>I’ve missed the last two weeks since it moved to Tuesdays. Anyone know where I can watch full episodes online? I haven’t been able to find them.</p>

14

<p>Clinton Kelly has a new book out “Oh, No, She Didn’t” which is very funny.</p>

15

<p>Thanks for the info that Clinton was (1) on NPR and (2) has degrees from NU and BC.</p>

<p>I no longer need to feel low-brow while watching this favorite show :p.</p>

16

<p>The episode this past week with the doctoral (?) research student who just graduated was PRECIOUS. That woman was so sweet and SO needed the makeover and looked SO fantastic afterwards! I think both Clinton and Stacy felt it was one of their most successful makeovers ever.</p>

17

<p>I just put Clinton’s book on hold at my library. Discovered he has a few other books out there too, one of which I took out.</p>

18

<p>How about Erin tonight, that was one of the best ever!</p>

19

<p>Argh! I keep forgetting they switched to Tuesdays!</p>

20

<p>I really wished they didn’t switch to Tuesday - WNTW is my Friday night chill-for-the-weekend show!!!</p>

<p>Guess I’ll just have to add another show taping to the DVR…</p>
