I agree with you working girl! They should save the money they spend flying andy paige to LA and contribute it to a shelter!! Chritina and TJ were beautiful before...afterwards, YUCK!!

I think that both TJ and Christina looked beautiful after their makeovers. Last season I thought the makeovers weren't that great, but this season I think they have turned out really well...

Hi Working Girl,
I agree Andy takes it a bit to far! Their make overs should be a bit more softer and they should buy clothing that is less of a total contrast of their normal wardrobe!
Have a nice day!

I agree, the clothes are not too bad but what is with that makeup? Wasn't the object to make xxxtina look less like a hooker? And TJ looked great as she was. Dressing up her eyes a little was fine but she is not a red lipstick girl.

I really hated Jessica's whole make over. Her outfit was horrible for her, and I didn't care for her hair either.

I liked TJ's hair, but not the makeup.

I actually really liked Christina's hair before, and after. I didn't feel the makeup was bad, or too much because she never really wore a lot of makeup. Now if she always looked like raccoon eyes Jackie, from the couples that aired earlier this season, then I could see. (And I am so not a XXXtina fan!)

Allison, let's not go there.

I do think they need a new stylist. Andy doesn't always have the best taste. Just my opinion.

Did you notice that Christina's "after" haircut was pretty much the same as her mother's? Just more "flippy."

I sure would like to see SO use someone, anyone else, than Andy Paige to do the makeovers from here on out. I don't think she brutalized TJ, Jessica or Christina too much, but she just has terrible taste in my opinion. Last season they used her now and then but inter-spursed with other stylists. Her makeup on the girls is always "night time" and still, even that, is over the top. It's almost as if she does not take into account the person she is making over, and just uses her own preferred tastes to do whatever she wants to. It kinda cracks me up when Iyanla and Rhonda oooohhhh and aaaahhhhh over her (sad) "talent" when the made over houseguest makes their appearance to the house. Again, I suspect the makeover expert is totally in the hands of the producers...it makes me wonder who on heaven's earth is PAYING her to continue with this "dream" of being a fashion stylist. SO must be getting her "talent" for free, in exchange for the exposure.

I'll stick with my own look thank 'ya very much...ha!

I thought Christina looked very beautiful and very professional, which is what she wanted.

I like TJ's makeover too - she is also very beautiful and they gave her some style. It didn't even look like her and she wore it well.

I really liked TJ and Christina's makeover as well! TJ's clothes, not so much, but I did like the hair/make-up. I just thought Christina looked great!

I liked Chrisitina's new look, but they gave her a bad haircut.

Too much flyaways afterwards....she needed a comb.

Posted by GoodnightLittleBear on 01-26-06 at 08:28 PM
The long layers in the front and the scraggly short layers in the back looked like something Jackson created. Then dying it a blah looking brown made her look old.

Andy has got the worst taste in clothing and makeup although I did like Christina's suit.

Everyone else got the disco ho treatment.

"RE: The Makeovers in the SO House"
Posted by SOWayz on 01-26-06 at 10:15 PM
I liked the suit because it looked professional, and if she is going to sell real estate (???), she is going to need it. I thought TJ's was fun because she was so-o-o stuck in a mold, this gave her an idea of possibilities. So when is ANDY getting a make-over? First of all, STAND UP! She has the worst posture. And the clothes, I think that Andy operatives had actually picked out NuLisa's outfit today.

TJ's was alright, Christina's was horrible..I think that's funny though.

"RE: The Makeovers in the SO House"
Posted by eire_heart74 on 01-27-06 at 10:15 AM
I actually like Christina's the most. She was more polished and less teen ager. The makeup was a little to dramatic for the workplace but toned done it would really be nice. The suit was a good start. After showing up for a job counseling session in a tube top, she needed one!

Jessica's hair, nice. Outfit horrible! TJ's, nice to see her in a dress but a dropped waist did nothing for showing off that figure. The make up was odd. TJ is just a jeans and t shirt gal and I dont' think that's a bad thing.

I wouldn't mind seeing some new people trying to do the makeovers. Andy, please style someone else!

I think that SO is getting Andy P for free! trying to make her the "Star" houseguest. I think she needs a makeover herself. If i was in the house I would refuse a makeover from her. I thought cristine looked much prettier before her so called makeover. her hair needed a little trimming, but what was that she had done to her?? it looked like she got caught in a wind storm,I guess no one will be able to link her with her internet pictures ! I think cristina was just a plain xxtch to Kim, who was just trying to be friendly to her in the begining.(asking her about her son ect.) She was like I am to busy to talk to kim right now, I need to work on my "art"(issues). what a stuck up xitch

Jessica's make-up was not flattering. It did not go with her coloring.

I'm not sure what kind of profession Andy imagined Christina going into but the heavy black eyeliner with blue eyeshadow just screamed "low-budget 70's porn star". All she needed was a bleached blonde dye job.

No casinos downtown, though...sorry! And our winters would kill her! She'd have to actually wear clothing!

Christina and TJ's hair did look terrible. I did'nt like the fact that Christina's hair was to short and to dark. I did like Christina's outfit.
"RE: The Makeovers in the SO House"
Posted by bentherdunthat on 01-28-06 at 01:10 AM
I actually liked some of Andy's makeovers last season, but ALL the makeovers this season have been just dreadful. Complete trainwrecks IMO. Jessica's makeup looked horrible and her outfit was matronly. THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT TJ's HAIR ALONE (and her makeup was lousy). Christina hit the trifecta...hair, makeup, and outfit: yuck, Yuck and YUCK. Just MHO.
"RE: The Makeovers in the SO House"
Posted by Pixeltalk on 01-30-06 at 04:05 PM
I think Andy does pretty well with women who have figure "challenges;" plus-sized women and women who don't know how to dress for their body type. But so far this year the graduates have had nice bodies and have been well-dressed on their own.

Andy is all about "camouflaging" and "disguising," which these graduates did not need.

Plus, what is with always having this big, heavy piece of hair cutting across their foreheads diagonally. After seeing Christina and TJ, both very attractive, I don't think many women look good with this style. Maybe we should blame the hairstylists more for it, though.

Posted by shorecondo on 01-28-06 at 04:29 PM
agree agree, the hairdo's were awful TJ has that hair we all envy and they made it flat to her head and too much make up-TJ and Christina are natural beauties and why did they chop up C's hair like that and all that make up-ugh ugh

I can't stand Andy Paige and don't think she should be in charge of any aspect of the make-overs. Both TJ and Christina were laughable. I definitely don't consider Andy a fashion expert either!!!

TJ's hair and make-up looked great! It took years off her. But her clothing, though pretty, wasn't for her, it did not flatter her figure.
"RE: The Makeovers in the SO House"
Posted by beckettrep on 02-20-06 at 04:06 PM
I personally think the real purpose of the make-overs is to provide a smoke-screen so that we, the viewers, will be lulled into thinking the women have indeed changed from when they first arrived in the house. Because SO knows, for the most part, that a lot of these women have NOT changed they send them off for a make-over, thinking we are all dumb enough to believe they have changed simply because they LOOK different. The SO crew are constantly insulting my intelligence with these kind of tactics since I can see right thru their little gimmick - as I think most of us viewers do. If the women were REALLY changing and progressing it wouldn't matter if they looked the same (on the outside) or not - what would matter is their inner growth.
"RE: The Makeovers in the SO House"
Posted by lovemydogdude on 02-20-06 at 09:22 PM
AMEN beck! Look at Kim for example...you can see the fact that she's changing, she's happier..healthier..WITHOUT a makeover it's written ALL over her face.

"RE: The Makeovers in the SO House"
Posted by snowflake2 on 02-20-06 at 11:16 PM
I view the makeovers as the final humiliation the HG's must endure before graduation. IMO, they deserve the graduation gifts simply for enduring an Andy Paige makeover. Can you imagine the horror, not only of being delivered into Andy's incompetent hands, but also of knowing that the results will televised nationally?

Anyway, I find it bizarre how Andy is always giving the HG's tips on how to "update" or "modernize" their look, seeing that her own look seems to be firmly entrenched in the 80's. It seems to me that she is trying to make a living dispensing makeup and style tips she learned during the time she was a model, and from the fashion magazines she read as a girl without realizing how dated some of those tips are...for instance, she still makes those little "wings" of eyeliner/eyeshadow at the end of someone's eyes.

Hmmmm.... I don't think you get it. Those "wings" are there so the girls can "soar" into the cosmos like IV tells them. Andy Paige isn't a has-been, she's a "never was" stylist. She suffers from the same affliction many so-called fashion experts do - they just do something DIFFERENT from what the person currently has - and call it a MAKEOVER. Let's review her handiwork and grade her:

Jessica: F (hair, makeup both AWFUL, but the clothes were the killer)
Christina: B (she looked cute, but she was fine as she was)
TJ: F (TJ looked better on her worst day than Andy made her on graduation)
Allison: D (no further comment)

Now finally someone had the good sense not to use Andy for Jill. HOWEVER, I think Jill looked like a cheap hooker on a bad night, or as my dear friend would say: Like a cheap French whore. Her makeup was the absolute worst, followed by a horrific hairstyle and wrapped up in a matronly dress not the least bit stylish or suitable for her body type. You would think that out there in LA they could find someone with good fashion sense. Next thing you know they'll be having Rhonda make them over.

"RE: The Makeovers in the SO House"
Posted by OklaBlue on 02-27-06 at 02:40 PM
Jodi needs a hair make-over in the worst way. Her current color and style do nothing for her. It's an easy no care do and looks that way. I'd like to see her in a darker color, straighter, and maybe shoulder length or even short. Now it looks over processed and very dry. The curls don't do anything to enhance her looks. IMO
"RE: The Makeovers in the SO House"
Posted by Mama_Pita on 03-01-06 at 09:28 AM
Andy Paige needs to go work in a funeral home or nursing home, she makes everyone look so matronely, She has frumpy taste in everything, she puts too much make up on the girls and dresses them like dead people. If I were in the house, I would run fast as I can the other way when i see her coming>>>>>>>>>>>

Please please please get Andy out of there before she can do any more damage to anyone else. Next graduation just let the HG pick out a nice new outfit (let the store clerk help if need be), get them to a decent hair salon, and call it good.

Who does Rhonda's clothes by the way? Sure looks like Andy might have something to do with it. (Maybe that's why Rhonda squeals every time Andy enters the room) The HG's look frumpy and Rhonda looks like a teenager who's trying too hard. Did you notice her fishnet stockings today? C'mon Ronda, you're not 15 anymore.

Posted by Kelzi on 04-27-06 at 00:34 AM
So far I believe the only MakeOver for the graduation woman so far was the transformation in Kelly. WOw.. she looked hot for a woman who needs a face lift or something,, SHe is a very homely woman and that is too bad, She looks like she has had a rough life and that is why she looks so horrid herself, and the worse I feel has been Kim.. they could have done soooooo Much better then they did on her. it is too bad, and the gifts this year are nothing compared to last year and the year before. Things arent going as well as they should have been. Like Kim Graduating, I feel that was to just hurry up and getting her out of the house. They had nothing more to do with her to get her to stop making everything about herself. I have felt she should have been kicked out of the house a long time ago. Not Graduate!! But hey that is JMHO. Good Luck for the rest of the woman and I hope they get thier Sh** together and try thier damndest to get through this and learn from it. How long do you all think Sommer will stay in the house, I am beginning to think she leaves the house before she can even graduate, What a shame that would be, Expecially with Jodi, I hope she stays and doesnt run from the house too.
"RE: The Makeovers in the SO House"
Posted by RudieRae on 04-27-06 at 06:09 PM
Kim is a gorgeous woman with a lot of personal style, which was pretty much obliterated by her horrendous makeover. Maybe the worst one EVER. They razor cut her thick, healthy hair -- totally unnecessary (and will be a nightmare to grow out) -- and she didn't need half the eye makeup they glopped on. I felt embarrassed for her.

I have always thought they needed to save their money and take Andy off of the payroll. She does lousy makeovers, makeup and outfits. I can't imagine who ever thought she was good at it.
