I was flipping through the channels, and came across this on IMPACT. I never understood some of the programs they air, with it being a Christian network. They're superficial, which is inappropriate to be displaying/promoting on a religious channel. I saw Girlfriend Intervention, and it peaked my curiosity so much that I searched for it online. When I read the synopsis, it sounded so absurd that I thought I was reading it wrong. A group of black women who specialize in giving makeovers to white women. They not only remake their outfits, but their house decor as well, and the makeovers change their life. Seriously??? That is stupid. I won't call this reverse racism, because it's a concept that carries with it major controversy, and its existence has been argued, but it does negatively stereotype white people. It's implying they all dress like dorks, so to resolve that issue, get black women to help improve their style? That's really narrow-minded. I'm black, and a woman. I wear hoodies, sweatshirts, flannels, overalls, holey jeans, sneakers, combat boots, and double buckle sandals, that I sometimes pair with socks when it's a little cold. I have several skirts, which I love, but I have to be in the mood to wear them. My style is a bit masculine (I'm not gay - I just don't like clothes that look girly or overly feminine). I'm probably not considered stylish by some people. I use myself as an example to show a person's race has nothing to do with their choice of clothing, and all black women are not fashionistas. I'm happy this garbage didn't last for more than one season, but it was a complete waste of time anyway. No wonder society has so many problems.
