  1. Plum * what a waste of my time. That was painful to watch. First of all, she wants to help others? Maybe if she can climb down her attitude ladder she should begin with helping herself. Shes so self righteous about how her look *** yet why did she come on the show. And she is downright rude. AND *** she is 31 years old. Grow up already. She kept saying how she wasn't just her clothes but yet she wouldn't even give anything a chance. She was being a ***** to be a ****** Plum, you need help. You are so afraid everyone will be mean to you that you jump to be the mean one first. How's that working for you? No need to answer...it's obvious.

  2. The show where plum was getting a make over, was horrible... she was sooo rude and ungrateful. I could just smack her.. She deserves to loose her friends, who would wanna be friends with a witch like that.... Waste of time. She needs serious mental help.

  3. Plum I have never seen someone so closed minded on your show.She was so afraid to grow up that she shut out everyone on the show and what they were trying to say to her. If she did not want to be their she whould have left and not wasted everyone time. I am amazed how people want to stay stuck in a style tor life hat they think makes them who they are. I feel that this attitude is the same one she has had all of her life, unfortunately her mother choice a better life instead of her child. she has not forgiven her mother so this may be why she can not move forward. If she lets anyone in they will realize she is the same hurt child she was at 14 what a shame. She looked like a person in so much pain. She want to be a counselor, what parent wants this person to counsel their child? She need some counseling herself before she can help anyone else. I will continue to pray for PLUM because only God can get through all the hurt she has suffered.

  4. The Plum episode-What can I say?! That was really a waste of everyone's time. Finola held her cool much better than I would have(I would have smacked her)! When a women is in their 30's and still rides a skateboard like a teen- and not doing it professionally, then something is wrong initially. I'm from a very small town in the south and we have many grown ladies that look like idiot's like Plum and get just as upset if you discuss anything about changing their look. As far as her friends are concerned; I'd be happy with the fact that she's not my friend any longer. She's much too childish to have any friends over the age of 16. I don't know what she plans on doing for a living but if she's not working at a tattoo/piercing shop, she's going to have to cover up all those tacky 'tats' with a jacket!!! In my opinion I don't think this episode should even be shown again!! Plum's are good but after seeing this episode she makes me realize that some Plums are just rotten to the core!!!!!!

  5. I cannot believe Plum acted that way. If I had an opportunity like that regardless of what I like no way would I ever behave that way. She acted like a spoiled brat who has always got her way and the fact that people actually cared enough to want to help her did not matter. I actually thought on some part of the show that she cared and could actually go through with it and then she brought out her attitude and showed everyone that she could put on a show. And the fact that she wants to be a counselor, who would got to someone like that for help? I agree that she needs help and a good dose of reality before she can do anything. Finola, I am so sorry that you and the rest of the world had to put up with that kind of attitude. Good luck to Plum-where ever she is and what ever she's doing. Maybe after this airs she'll see how she acted and could feel some kind of remorse. Dumping a friend of 18 years over this-not worth it!

  6. I love this show! I cannot believe that Plum was so rude to everyone who was only trying to help her. I cannot believe that she wants to be a counselor. How can she expect others to be open minded to her assistance and help. Practice what you anticipate to preach. How Do I Look staff and Finola you all are great! Keep up the great work!

  7. Plum was the most ungrateful, self-centered, close-minded, hypocritical, two-year-old stuck in a warped 31-year-old's body. Get a grip already--seriously. I honestly hope that that horrible woman proclaiming to be an educated person reads this and wakes up from her horrible sense of reality. I was pained to watch this episode & am seriously embarrassed to admit that I have met far more mature and grateful ten year-olds than this horrible girl calling herself a woman. She should go back to the club and get lost somewhere in a dark corner where she belongs. People like her make me loose faith in the world and in humanity. UGH.

  8. What a brat! I felt so bad for the friends who really seemed to be hurt by her. She should be ashamed of her childish and ugly behavior. She didn't deserve such great friends or the opportunity. I am glad that Style network decided to air the episode because, maybe later she can look back at her behavior and be ashamed of how she treated her friends and apologize. Fiona was very professional about. I was soooo relieved the stylist had the nerve to tell her about herself.

  9. This was one of the first episodes of How do I look that I have watched. It is obvious to me that this child dresses this bizarre not as her own personal fashion statement but as a defense mechanism. I would be happy to say I was not her friend anymore. She will definitely keep her punk persona all to herself as no one would be happy to even know her. Especially after showing her true colors on national television. Thanks for all the grateful people that you help.

  10. Wow Plum, I hope you are ashamed of how you acted on the show. Looking back at it has got to be embarrassing. I understand that you want to help kids that are having hard lifes but I would say most of the children you would be helping probably are more mature than you. It hurt me the most to see you dump your friends like that, truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget. I don't think you would advice any of the children you plan to work with to drop their very best friend. I pray Plum that you work through this and come back to your friends.

  11. Plum-What a LOSER!!! Why the **** she wasted everyone's time by agreeing to do the show is beyond me. Quite frankly, all she proved to the world is how ignorant she was. I hope her two friends who agreed to be on the show with her told her to get stuffed and left her in the dust. I have never seen a more nasty, rude, and selfish person. Before agreeing to go on national TV and do a makeover show, don't you think you should at least be familiar with the show and sort of know what to expect.??? From what I've seen, that episode followed the same formula that every other episode of "How Do I Look?" has followed. Yet, she "thought it would be different." WHY??? What ****** me off is someone else could have gotten that opportunity and appreciated it. I used to dress goth everyday myself. Eventually you realize that's fine for the clubs, but if you want to succeed in the real world, grow up! A washed up 30 something in goth boots and pigtails is just sad. Good Luck with that...

  12. Gosh! This episode made me want to say something...rude. That Plum girl was plain rude and closed minded. OK..maybe she didn't like the clothings (which I think she must have liked some, actually, but she tried to prove her stupid point that no other fashion styles can make her happier.) But there were many polite and grateful ways to express it. Being yourself and keeping good manners can go together, can't they? With that attitude I was surprised that she has friends at all, let alone a longtime friend. Finola was still very nice in it. If I were her, I might have done or said something to that Plum woman that couldn't have been aired.

  13. Unfortunately, Plum is probably Axis II, meaning she has some serious mental illness. To break off a 20 year friendship because your friend confronted you on a dated look is classic Borderline Personality Disorder. She did not have the ego strength to handle criticism, even done with love. Basically, at bottom what I saw was some deep self-loathing. And okay, she didn't like the clothes, but her comments, "Let's go to the bar.", I mean c'mon. My diagnosis: Boderline Personality Disorder with possible substance abuse or dependence.

  14. I thought that Plum was hysterical! It just kept spirally downward and when Finola basically threw her off the set * priceless! I missed the part that she actually has to have some plum * purple? * color with every outfit * sounds like a sophomore at Naperville North * not a 31 year-old punk from the city. Which is also perfect * because she bashed her friend for being a suburban mom * but at least mommy is happy and secure with herself. The insecurity and self-hate that this woman has is floating right under the surface of clear shallow water. I think she sticks with punk, because she has no personal or professional identity and it lets her off the hook and without it * she would have to ante up...If she wasn't such a beotch * I would have empathy * but she really only evokes distain and pity * still fun to watch, though. too bad there wouldn't be a follow-up episode in 10 years * menopausal punk * that would be worth the wait

  15. The show was "plum" painful to watch. The rude and obnoxious behavior of "Plum" towards Finola, Airel, Lana and Jordon was painful enough, but it was the battle within herself that was most difficult to observe. Finola seemed to make a bit of head way, only to have Plum make a hasty retreat back to her comfort zone of "leave me alone". Although everyone on the show "lost" (friendship, time, money, etc.) the one who is suffering the greatest loss is Jennifer "Plum". She is stuck in the anger and hurt of her childhood scars and disappointments. Hopefully she will find her way out of the destructive maze of self-indulgence as she goes to school. Sometimes the best psychological work is done on the person studying psychology.

  16. All I can really say is wow. I found it amusing when Plum continuiously talked about how everyone was trying to change her and how she was much more confident and comfortable in her style. The amazing part was that it's so not true, if you noticed when Plum was wearing her "style" she was able to look her friends in the eyes and express her emotions but the second you got her into different clothes she lost herself. I think Plum was depending on her clothes to decide her personality too much. Everyone knows that you can't change a person's personality by changing clothes, Plum will still be Plum no matter what she wears. She hasn't gotten over any insecurities from childhood, she's only hidden them.

  17. What an amazing show! I was grateful that they aired this episode because I have four daughters who I have been raising with the ideals that you shouldn't judge a person by their outer appearance. You should always judge people by their behavior and their actions. What is on the outside does not make a person, however, Plum has put up internal walls that have spilled over to outer walls, i.e., her appearance. It truly saddened me to see a grown woman who truly believed that just by changing her clothes, it would change who she was on the inside. It seems that Plum has some serious issues that she needs to address within herself before she should think about helping others. I understand that she wants to work with at-risk youth but she doesn't need to dress like them in order for her to feel more accepted by those same at-risk youth. Plum is hiding behind a "mask" (her style) in an effort to feel secure in herself and I believe that stripping that away was too much for her to bear

  18. I had my daughters watch the episode for several reasons. It saddened them as well that Plum was so very scared to change to advance her career but also so bitter and ungrateful to such amazing friends. I believe that Finola and Plum's friends showed great class given what happened. I pray that Plum will watch the episode and do some soul searching. It was very obvious that her friends weren't trying to change who she was but trying to assist her in advancing herself in her career. I say "Kudos" to her friends for still showing support, strength and love to Plum even after she wrote those letters and refused to even speak to them. My family will pray for Plum because she seems like alot of issues came up for her during the show that I don't think she was even aware were still bothering her. She seemed like a lost soul who can't recognize unconditional love because it is so foreign. Sometimes it is easier to close doors than deal with your issues, hopefully Plum will apologize.

  19. Watching Plum was a waste of my time. I normally like watching How Do I Look, but I was real upset with what was on the TV. She wants to help people looking like that? She doesn't even look approachable, what happened in the past happened in the past, you don't need to think about it now. She should have been more understanding to her friends but clearly she is stuck in a rutt and can't and won't get out of it. That was the worst show ever!!!

  21. This woman should purchase a copy of this episode and show it to the "troubled youth" that she claims she wants to work with because her behavior was nothing short of "troubled" and "childish". I mean can someone say bipolar, at first i tried to feel sympathy for her but to act that way towards your friends on TV for the world to see is disrespectful and "plum" stupid!

  22. Plum struck me as a sad figure * yes, with a personality disorder, one in which her rather thin, undeveloped image of herself is more important than her relationships with real people. She seems quite fragile. Yet even if she came on the show to show her friends she didn't care to change, no matter what, it did take some courage. Self-exposure of some sort must have been one of her aims.

  23. I really like watching "How Do Look." I love seeing someone transform not only on the outside, but on the inside also. BUT, watching Plum was the most disgusting painful behavior I have ever encountered. I agree with another comment made about Borderline Personality Disorder or even Narcissist. And, substance or alcohol abuse was written all over her. The anger, not being able to take constructive criticism, the me, me, me attitude, the manipulation towards her friends, and the childish behavior for a woman in her 30's. You see, someone who has a substance abuse problem is stuck back at the age where they started. It makes sense. Honestly, the best thing her friends could do is to set boundaries or cut her off. Plum needs to know her behavior is not acceptable. Applause to Finola, friends, and stylist for their maturity, patience, caring, grace, honor, and integrity. Painful to watch and I'm sure devestatingly painful to endure. Bright side, many more people to make happy!

What a ****** They should all have walked out on her. **** left her to fend for herself. That is not what she wants.....but that's what she needs to get. She will never survive in the real world!

  26. I only saw the tail end of the show, but I can tell you in the last few minutes that I saw, I wanted to smack the crap out of her. She is probably one of the most self-centered, unapproachable individuals I have ever seen. If she has any friends left, they might want to take a look at her behavior and run far and fast. Let her have her pity party by herself.

  27. I just want to say that Jordan is my hero for telling Plum off. A big kudos to Finola for keeping her cool in dealing with her spoiled brat routine & then telling her to leave. I can't believe she said she was going to sell the clothes on Ebay! I'll act like an a$$ & profit from it later. How hateful and ungrateful! Plum seriously needs to grow up. Her friends have grown up & matured & wanted to see her progress & move forward & she acted like brat. I have dealt with teenagers with the same attitude she displayed. I cannot believe she is 31 years old & wants to help others. She need help herself. I feel so sorry for her friends & the way she acted towards them. Good for them for keeping their cool & getting to see her true colors. With friends like her, who needs an enemy? It's too bad that the show wasted their time and money on such an ungrateful, self-centered, immature, spoiled brat. Plenty of other women would have loved the opportunity that was so wasted on her.

  28. Plum was a big baby. My two year old neice acts more mature that she did. I was embarrased for her. BTW, who accepts $9000 gift of clothes and acts like the gift they handed her was a pile of doo-doo. Her current clothing were totally age inappropriate. Nobody wants to see a 30-something year old woman in skirts made for a 15 year old. She did her friends a favor by breaking off the friendship. She is shallow, abusive, rude, immature, and not so smart. Finola deserves a daytime Emmy for keeping her cool in the face of such rudeness and ignorance! Finola is a class act.

If this type of thing happens again please spare us the waste of an hour and the negative feelings and don't finish the episode.

  30. Great Show... I think it's great television to see an unsuccessful makeover show once in a while. To think everyone is completely happy after it's all over is a little hard to swallow. PLUM-CRAZY... This girl is a train wreck waiting to happen. What I found surprising is that the show's producers didn't see this obviously troubled person as an unsuitable and a psycholigically dysfunctional participant. Don' t they at least interview their makeover subjects? I thought Finola displated fantastic control and a great deal of professionalism dealing with this PLUM-CRAZY, bewitched and bewildered, schizophrenic adolescent. Now I know why God invented the mental institution! The best thing that came out of this show was the eye-opener her best friend of almost 20 years got. This PLUM-CRAZY b**** is so self-absorbed that she can't even bring herself to thank her best friend for her efforts. I hope she never has anything to do with the ROTTEN-PLUM again!

One day those young kids she's hanging out with will let her know * in just as rudely a way as she acted on the show) how ridiculous she looks at her age with that crap on. At least that's what could happen if she continues on this pathetic path. She let go of 2 of the only people who cared about her that much.

  33. I love this show, it's really the only make over show I watch.I liked watching this episode because it shows the other side.They really changed the rules for her too so it was the easiest transition.$3000 and a whole new wardrobe! Yes, please! It's great that Jordan called her out and her friend was able to see how spiteful Plum really is. The sad thing is that she looked really great in a lot of those clothes! She has a horrible self image and I think she likes it when people are "afraid" of her. It's too bad she doesn't realize that there's a better way to strike fear into the world, and that's by being a strong, independent, confident women, which she is not. As far as the way Finola handled the situation, I think she could have stopped pulling on the therapy string so much and backed off a little.I like Finola but I sometimes wonder if she is really that sincere or she has a little ear piece with a therapist on the other end. I'd love to see the uncut version of this episode

I think they need some sort of consolation prize for their friend of so many years dissing them over TV! They held up well and I think they need something to uplift them. PLUM, you need to grow up. I showed this episode to my daughter so that I could tell her this is NOT the way to treat people. I would LOVE to get a makeover and this thing who is less than a person is so ungrateful!

  37. Wow! Plum is a prune! The makeover needs to be on the sour inside of this child. Her teeth were yellow from all the mean things she spews through her mouth. She told her friend "I don't have the money you do!" as an excuse for her style....Hello, this was a good free opportunity and she blew it. She didn't even look in the mirror before she was whining about the outfits. I do hope that the show disposed of her sad collection of clothing that was her "before" wardrobe. The accomplices did an awesome job of finding clothes that appeared edgy and looked totally unique to Plums tattooed, morning after, clubby style that she hides behind. The way a person dresses does affect their mood and She almost seemed happy when she came out in the end of the show madeover, but then she opened her mouth and went back into her tough club persona. I think Plum's friends Lana and Ariel should each get $3000 for a shopping spree of their own and throw in a spa day to recover from this experience.

  38. I woke up today and my husband was watching the Style show and started telling my about this "girl" named Plum. So of course I started watching it just because of what her name was, I had to check it out. I kind of caught the last 25 minutes of it, but it was enough time to figure out what is probably going on with her. I'm not a Therapist and definitely not a rocket scientist, but Ms. Plum definitely needs a Therapist OR a 12 Step Program where she can vent her (crap) and find out who SHE really is. My opinion would be that she continues to dress the way she does and continue to have those "Character Defects" because she is in a comfort zone and anything different would be uncomfortable. It's my understanding that she moved to Florida and everyone down there was amazed with this chick from Chicago and they liked her style and so on. All I can say for "Plum" is that if you plan on being a counselor....you are going to have to love yourself before you can help and love others!

  39. Plum, what can you say that hasn't already been said! She was a total b***h, didn't deserve the friends she had, ungrateful, rude, and the collection she picked should have been taken away from her. When she said she just wanted to go home, you should have put her a** on the plane so fast it would have made her head spin! Finola, I love you and the show. I always watch it, but I agree with you, please don't waste our time and the show, to have people on like Plum. I'm always amazed at how make up, hair and clothes can change a person's looks and with that show I felt totally cheated out of a "How Do I Look" episode that I wouldn't truly enjoyed. I always save the episodes so that I can show my husband what a difference is made in people, just by changing their hair, clothes and make up. By the way, I miss the old format of Finola showing the 3 collections and the hair and make up that goes along with the collection and her accomplices watching them try them on. Finola & crew, thanks!!

  40. I saw this episode late Thurs nite. Being a musician with some sense of style, as well has having known a couple of women like Plum, I had to watch the entire episode. Pretty much all of the other posters before me have summed up my attitude towards Plum. Not so much anger, but just sadness & resignation that a person like that will never grow up. What was very telling in the episode was that Plum claimed that she found herself in the Club scene in Florida and that she had made close friends. Yet when asked where they were * you would have thought they would have been on the show instead of Lana & Ariele), Plum almost in a dejected tone said they had 'drifted off or had settled down'. I thought I heard a little bit of bitterness if not loneliness in Plum's voice. Plum has to realize that she can 'settle down' (with regards to employment or relationships) without losing her individuality. She looked good in most of the clothing, she shouldn't be so hard on herself!

  41. After watching the show and reading the comments, I feel very sorry for Ms Plum. It is not everyday you go on a show and have an opportunity to get a new wardrobe. How horrible for you! I wish one of my friends would be so inconsiderate to give up time from family and work to give me such a gift. Ms Plum my pity for you is that you do not realize how lucky you are.. You kept saying that you did not want the new clothes to define you but you are perfectly happy having the old ones do so. In case you don't get it ....whether you have the best clothes or are bare *** naked, your actions define what type of type of person you are! SORRY GIRL...

  42. OH my GAWD! This episode with Plum (rotten) really left me speechless. My hats off to Finola, Jordon, Ariel and Lana for maintaining their composure during the show. I have never met anyone so mean spirited, rude and broken as this girl seemed. Ariel and Lana should be thankful that the TRUE Plum colors came out and the friendship is over. Plum is using her looks and attitude as an excuse to act the way she does. Truth is.... we all now see her insides are just as hideous as the out and until she recognizes she has deep rooted issues and gets professional help.....no one can truley be her friend. Ariel and Lana, move on and don't loose any more of your emotional bank account on this friendship. Life is too short! I feel like she robbed from my emotional bank account and that was from watching this show! Can't imagine what it would be like dealing with her on a daily basis. Jordon.... you rock! Glad you had the gutts to say what EVERYONE was thinking. Plum, get some gratitude girl!

  43. Well she can keep her trashy look that matches her trashy attitude! I think it is hilarious that a 31 year old acts the way she did! She is a waste.

  44. It's nice that a television series will air a show where they were unsuccessful as an example that you cannot help everyone. This girl is talking about wanting to help troubled teens but seriously, she needs to help herself first. No one has a perfect childhood. While it is understandable that she felt abandoned by her mother, that is no excuse to continue going through life with such a **** poor attitude. I just cannot see her being successful helping other kids with their issues especially since she seems to have a problem with her listening skills. I honestly don't understand why she went on the show in the first place. The only thing I can think of is that she never had any intention of going through with the show but wanted to get the attention from being on it. So sad that she gave up two really good friends over something so minor as a change in wardrobe.

  45. I just watched the most painful episode of What Not To Wear. The young lady Plum had problems that can not be addressed by fashion. She clearly needs mental help. I do not know what university or college is allowing her to get a counseling degree and her professors not notice her stage of mind and her combative spirit. I pray that she gets the help she needs. There is a time and place for everything. If she wants to dress like a punk rocker after her work hours, I say go for it. However, in the field of counseling and or social work she should dress like someone a person would want to open up to and not a freak. I was glad that the stylist commented on her behavior. Though she did not seem to care, it made me feel better just having someone tell her. Keep up the good work on the show, however, if a person comes on and truly does not want to participate in the experience let them walk away and stop taping.

  46. I was flipping thru the tv & came across this episode as it began. I could not believe that a girl I had seen in clubs in Chicago in 2001 was on this show....STILL looking the SAME!!! No kidding, I used to go to many of the same clubs Plum went to, and remember her well from that time. I even have pictures of her with her hair and clothes exactly the same as she has them now. And she's right...the people in that "scene", at that time, have grown up and moved on. Welcome to adult-hood Plum, where you put that brain to use, draw from your experiences and education and become a fully functioning member of society. It's a shame that she couldn't capitalize on this opportunity put in front of her! I hope she gets her act together someday, the club scene and club clothing really dates a person.

  47. With friends like that, who in the **** needs enemies? Lana, I hope since the show you have been able to move on. You seem like a very genuine friend who did not deserve to get dumped on the way you did. Although Plum was the most rude and disrespectful person the show has ever seen, let's all pray that one day, hopefully sooner than later, she gets the help that she so obviously needs.

  48. I always watch your show. I can not believe how cruel this person was! I felt so bad for everyone one the show. Finola, you handled the situation with such class and charm. It had to take alot of dignity, not to tell her everything you were thinking. I hope her friends get away from this rude, cruel awful person! But I have to say, I loved how Finola handled it at the end! I am sure that put a smile on everyones face. Keep up the great work. It is a great show, and most people are happy and honored to be on. Finola, you are a class act!!!!

  49. I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOO SHOCKED AT HOW "PLUM" ACTED! I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED! SHE IS THE MOST CHILDISH, UNGRATEFUL AND IGNORANT "ADULT" I HAVE EVER SEEN EMBARASS THEMSELVES LIKE THAT ON TELEVISION. FINOLA IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE CUSSED HER OUT THAT IS SO UNACCEPTABLE SHE SHOULD REALLY JUST BE ASHAMED OF HER SELF! SHE IS IN HER 30'S AND WAS CRYING LIKE AN INFANT OVER CLOTHES! SHE LOOKED LIKE A GARBAGE BAG WITH BLONDE HAIR! I COULD GO ON FOR DAYS ABOUT "PLUM"... I WANTED TO STOP WATCHING BUT JUST WANTED TO SEE WHEN FINOLA WAS GONNA SLAP HER!!! AHHHHH!!!! SHE NEEDS TO WATCH THAT EPISODE OVER AND OVER AND CRY HERSELF TO SLEEP FOR MAKING HER SELF LOOK LIKE AN ABSOLUTE FOOL AND HOPE GOD AND FINOLA WILL FORGIVE HER!!

  50. I want to congratulate Plum for her attitude on the show. I think Finola took over a hard case by trying to change somebody who is almost fashion designer in her own way. Although Finola was trying to make Plum believe that her friends were helpful, Plums friends were patronizing her and acting quite humiliating on her by trying to tell her that 3 pieces of clothes and a new haircut and less make up will make her a better person than she is and will "fix" her destroyed life. This is total ********* I have seen tons of people in their 30s and 40s that hang out Goth style and have perfect life working in clubs. For people like that freedom is actually more important as it was obvious for Plum, By the way * Finola attempts to give free psychological help to Plum was so useless. Finola, deal with rednecks, rather than city style chicks. All her accomplices by the way bought alternative to Plum's wardrobe worse than what she had before. No need to dance Finola. Plum's friends are useless.
