I once almost got my friend on What Not to Wear. I responded to an ad in Craigslist that asked for women for makeovers. I sent in my friend's photo and they liked it. The producers came out from NYC to follow 4-6 women (and their friends) around for only 3 slots. Hilarity ensued as I tried to keep arranging mid-day dates with my friend who couldn't understand why I had so much time off work. I eventually had to tell her what was going on, which was completely against the rules. They ended up not picking her, and I am still not sure if it's because they found out she knew she was being secretly filmed all over the Mission. Later she said she was glad she wasn't picked, because of the harshness of the show.
