In the past, the biggest disaster is wearing ugly clothes in public. In 2015, it would be wearing ugly clothes on your online dating profile picture.
According to The Washington Post, the former co-host of TLC's hit makeover show "What Not to Wear," Clinton Kelly and this time with relationship expert, Devyn Simone as his partner, is bent to rehabilitating the wardrobe. The pair now host TLC's new "Love at First Swipe". In the show they help people improve their online dating profile in just 22 minutes of the TV program. Although the show only aired 4 episodes, a TLC spokesperson said the show will return on the first quarter of 2016.
The last episode featured a 40-year-old woman named Lynette who owns more than 50 wigs and has names for each of them. In her collection of profile pictures, she wears a different wig each time and given her age, it was hard to handle her personality. Kelly and Simone came to the rescue with some fashion tips and tough love, but most importantly they convinced Lynette to let her natural hair down. The episode ended with Lynette having a date with a man after her profile was improved.
