VERN! He was the only designer who pretty much always was incredible.

Doug had a show for a while “Moving Up” which was pretty interesting. Former owners of homes go BACK and see what the new owners did to the place. Some real angry people on that one. A lot of people on it were working with shoe string budgets or spouses who demanded some real hideous shit

Thanks for this article. This show was the start my design expertise that I now offer for free from my couch. And now thanks to Love it or List it Too i am offering my skills to Our Canadian brothers and sisters.

I kind of miss the old TLC. The simple makeover shows and A Wedding/Baby story were like the innocent, playing outside, PB&J-eating days of the network. With Trading Spaces and What Not to Wear they became a bratty tween, then a rebellious teenager and entitled college kid. I have no idea what they are now.

It was one of the first non-scripted, non-adventure type shows, to feature gay and lesbian couples, without comment.

Wow, did I love Trading Spaces during the Paige years. I was Team Vern and Team Genevieve all the way. Fascinating how the show can also serve as an accurate measure of TLC’s shift in style and tone as well. Thanks for this, Kate!

Ok now tell me the story of “What Not to Wear” - because I really miss that show!

The hay episode is the one that always leaps to mind, and the one where they glued wine labels all over a kitchen of a religious couple who didn’t drink.

good lord, I miss this show. it was a weekend marathon staple in my house.

Why on earth do you think this is funny? You’re part of the problem.

His father is positioning himself for groupie runoff. His mother has been positioning herself as this glorious bible thumping Christian and thinks she deserves a fucking statue for not getting an abortion (Fuck her forever with that) and we see his glorious redemption tour where he distances himself from the black…

This makes me crazy too, I'm plus sized and work. Corporate job in a formal business attire office. Finding clothes is a nightmare. I don't understand why the assumption is that there are no large women with jobs that require nice tailored dresses or suits. Looking around my office, most of the women who hang in there…

the designers are confused having to make outfits for everyday people instead of models

Having Tim Gunn stop believing in you would be 947 times harder than having Tyra Banks stop believing in you.

I get tested every 6 months (just the blood test), with great trepidation, because I have 5 other autoimmune diseases. And then I celebrate that I am clear by eating some bread cause I love me some gluten.

I watch TWW daily. It’s my happy place. If the apocalypse occurs in my lifetime I’ll still be able to watch it using my wind up battery for my tablet. Yep.

The affair has been an open secret, at least in Ellmers’ district for quite a while now. McCarthy came to one of her campaign events in Dunn, which is where I work, to campaign with her. Except Dunn is a tiny, tiny city of 9,000 people, so the idea of a California Rep coming to what is essentially middle of nowhere…

Anyone else wish they could watch this whole thing go down behind the scenes West Wing style?

By the time this entire thing plays out legally, the kids will be 18 and can do whatever the hell they wish.

tbh, could not think of a more clever way to distract from the fact that mccarthy basically said the bengahazi hearings were a political tool against a hillary clinton presidency
