Essence of style

STYLE Network's 10 Things I Hate About Me on DStv's Channel 183, has come back smoking.

While the last season also focused on helping people to feel better about themselves, this one has gone an extra mile.

The thrust on the first season was on different people coming on to be styled famously whether it was about their hair, face or wardrobe. This season opens a new world to those who are lucky enough to make it to the program.

Take this beautiful creature who spent the last hour on Style, having the crew pander to all her whims. First she wanted help with her school girlish nails she bit to near extinction. Style waved a magic wand and suddenly there was an expert who was going to attach stunning ready nails to her existing ones.

The catch would be that they have a prohibitive chemical that makes it difficult for her to bite them.

Next it was about her appalling culinary skills. And guess what? Voila there was a chef that was going to turn her into a gourmet domestic chef in minutes.

Then there was her pigeon pair's bedroom that looked like Barbie's headquarters. She wanted it to accommodate both her children so that they felt they equally had a space in their bedroom. Once again, an interior decorator had succeeded in transforming the spirit of barbie, leaving the room with one blue and one pink space.

This fantastic show airs on Sundays but I am appalled at the lack of sensitivity of the channel. For all their programmes it has always been watch at 9! Would they be talking about 9pm or 9am?
