Marvelous Mel
Sat., Sep. 12, 2009 9:00 AM PDT by Jeannie Mai
Our li'l Mel! (That's what her close friends call her, and she said I could, too!) This beautiful, soft-spoken sista was a huge hit on our set, not only because she was too sweet for us to tear into her style (it killed me to see Mel cry), but also because she was the very first fashion victim we made over on the new set. (Sometimes TV shows air in a different order than they were shot.)
I loved Mel from the start—which, darnit, made it really hard for me to stay stern about her sloppy style, because I hated to hurt her feelings. But the more I got to know how fantastically smart and savvy her personality and business sense were, the more adamant I felt I had to be about my new friend's fashion.
Mel is special because she kicked off our show with a great start and left us all in tears with such a terrific transformation. I follow up on Mel's Facebook now and check out her profile pic often to make sure the hoodies don't come back in full swing again! (What am I, the style stalker?)
Heart you, Mel! Thanks for cutting the official fashion ribbon! :)
Tune in for a new episode of How Do I Look? this Sunday @ 9/8c!

1. I loved this episode! I really want to know what Jeannie was wearing at one point on the show. It was when she was going around to see what the accomplices had picked up for Mel. It was yellow and white, and very flowy! I absolutely fell in love with the top. Can anyone tell me where it's from?

2. I'm sorry but I don't like anything about the new show of how do I look! The old way is a lot better!!! I don't like the lady who's on it now either bring back the other lady, she was good!! I've try to watch it a couple of times and to me its just as not fun as before. I won't be watching anymore.

3. PLEASE tell me how I can find the black and white sequin skit with the face on the front and back that Mel tried on but didn't select with the collection. I thought she looked incredible in that skirt and I want it for myself... Please let me know!Thanks!
