subject: nomination!
Name: J
Location: Denver, CO
Age: 34
Size: 8-10
Height: 5' 6"
Occupation: program manager
Married
No Children
Personality: J is hysterical and lovable. She is always making others laugh. Her style? Well... a style of convenience would probably best describe it. She loves free and she loves cheap. She also LOVES (capitalization intentional) comfort. She is a disaster for several reasons. In a previous career, she was a lawyer. She would wear VERY unprofessional attire (examples: fleece pants and pilly sweaters). She rarely does anything with her hair. Make-up? What is make-up?? She wears next to nothing in the make-up department.
Upcoming event: J's 35th birthday is in June, and her husband turns 40 in October.
Photos: I am including two examples illustrating J's "fashion sense". The first is her sitting on a barrel (she's the one of the far left of the photo). The second is of her (2nd from right) with three female friends. This photo illustrates how she stands out compared to others.
Then there was a paragraph including my contact information, which I'm not sharing with all of the people on these Internets. What pictures did I include, you ask? Well:
Admittedly, not THE most offensive pictures of J, but still.

For any of you wondering, I DID have input on David's submission. However, I don't know whether to be offended at the pictures you sent in, David. I mean, they're not THAT bad, ARE they?? I mean, I certainly wouldn't as examples of my stellar sense of style, but... it's not my fault Kristina, Kim and Kelly always look so darn cute!!
ALSO... I am beginning to wonder if I should save up money and just have you guys do my wardrobe, hair and makeup makeover? We could film it for the blog! We could even do the mirror scene where you'd humiliate me in several of my favorite outfits! Then, I really would get rid of stuff you didn't like (unlike the few times Jill has attempted this and I snuck my Goodwill bag back in!)
I just reread, "this photo illustrates how she stands out from others" and burst out laughing. Apparently I AM mean. I just mean that they look so cute and girly. That's all. No offense intended, although if you got on this show, you'd owe me BIG TIME.
OF COURSE. I'd buy you a scarf.
The people on that show usually have an emotional disorder also (ie. think they're fat when they're not, or some other thing) Is there something that could boost your chances Jenn? Something you'd like to share on all these internets?
I was actually thinking about that--some sort of compelling REASON I NEED a makeover. Maybe I could tell them tearfully that I am always convinced people are looking at me? Then I could keep giving the camera a sideways glance? Maybe shout at people at stores? "What are you looking at???" Eh?
lmao: a sideways glance
I would suggest working the "new" (ish) job angle -- you're reinventing yourself as a professional and need a new wardrobe to go along with it. That's television gold, people!
