Nothing Should Ever Be Spinning Off Of Top Model

America's Next Top Model's Miss J (Alexander) and Mister Jay (Manuel) are getting their own show, far, far away from that crazy monster known as Tyra Banks. The problem? The new show's premise has already been done before. Many, many times.

Here's the description of the new Operation Fabulous:

'Jay and J' (as Manuel and Alexander are called on Top Model) will travel the country giving women makeovers. In various towns, the duo will select five participants and give them Top Model-style overhauls — how to dress, wear their hair and makeup and bring out their confidence with the support of family, friends and their community.

Oh man, that show is awesome! Remember when it was called Tim Gunn's Guide to Style? Or How to Look Good Naked? Or What Not to Wear? Or Queer Eye For the Straight Guy?

OK Miss J could not bring out someone's confidence even if he were reading straight from Tony Robbins' teleprompter.

And jujubees is right on the money. These guys give worse makeovers than a 7 year old. At least the 7 year old will think to put lipstick and a necklace on you.

No. 7 jujubees says:

Miss J's just going to look them all up and down and say, "Ohhhhh, chiiiild". And Mr. Jay's just going to get confused and be all, "Last frame". They'll get bored with their makeover and just go buy lipgloss at the MAC counter.

If I wanted to be made over by a tiny, slender man with a full face of contour pan-kake and silver hair, I'd ask David Bowie. And I'd call the show "Face Oddity".

Thank you and goodnight.

killorn, if only I had an ounce of your clever ability of sarcastic/punny/and generally genius banter perhaps I would have attained my degrees a shade under a decade.
:) Really, I adore your linguistic skills.

I'd rather drain my dog's anal glands than watch another make-over show.

Dogs have anal glands? And they need to be drained? Really? How does that work?

Also, what does an anal gland look like?

No. 15 sar says:

pw - when they drag their butt along the floor it means somebody has to drain those suckers - the vet or groomer does it. or in some cases, Mike Rowe.

No. 16 sar says:

it's also officially called "expressing" instead of draining and im sure youtube will offer you more than enough education on the subject. :)

No. 17 poo says:

GAH!

From makeovers to anal glands!

Say, that's not a far reach, actually.

And the word "simper" was created just for Jay Manuel.
