NUDE! How To Look Good Naked, Channel 4, 8.30pm

How To Look Good (Half-)NakedWe've never been able to stomach Channel 4's Ten Years Younger, if only for the fact that we never really felt like it provided any well thought-out answers:
Victim: I'm just not happy with the way I look, y'know.
Nicky Hambleton-Jones: Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Just have a fuckload of expensive surgery and then prance around the beach in a bikini!
All the while we're thinking, surely everyone who has the means and the inclination to get plastic surgery would just do that anyway? Isn't surgery cheating, regardless? What about those of us who can't afford to do that, or who don't want to get surgery? I mean, we don't have the same kind of loathing for NH-J that we do for "Doctor" Gillian McKeith or anything, but seriously: pointless! Finally, however, it seems like we're likely to get a programme that addresses that.

This seems to take more of the What Not To Wear approach by basing its techniques more on the little things that can be changed more easily, like the clothes you wear, the way you present yourself and your daily routine. In this show (which appears to be only open to women, so tough luck, all those of you who were hoping to get a glimpse of some naked men without resorting to pornography) the twist is that once you've been given a new lease of self-confidence with your inflated sense of self, you then have to pose naked.

It's a small price to pay, right? But then speaking on a personal level, we would need an awful lot of coaxing to do something like that, so kudos to the people taking part in this. And with any luck, those of us at home might learn a few things.

(And in case you're wondering, we couldn't find a picture of this programme, so we decided to go for a picture of Jared Padalecki from Supernatural, who does not need to watch this show. You're welcome.)

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
