Make-Overs on MSNBC's Today Show

After the shocking realization a former high school peer I had obsessed over her beauty for decades looks like a worn out dish rag in 2009, I thought a make-over article was appropriate. A little make-up goes a long way for women, along with a hair make-over.

There are many examples on MSNBC's Today Show makeover show proving any average every day looking woman can change her look dramatically using the help of make-up artists and hair stylists.

The bottom line is, if you have a lot of money, there's no excuse to look hideous, especially if you don't even have a weight problem to deal with. There are spas, all kinds of great ways to renew a youthful appearance. It just takes a little effort. The worse thing for a middle aged woman is when her hair is disproportionate with her facial appearance. Long goldie locks youthful hair doesn't look proportionate with a washed out make-up less face. What happened to this formerly sophisticated lady's sense of style?

Take it from me, I'm not overly critical of women and their appearance but when some formerly totally gorgeous woman who has financial resources turns into someone who looks like what I've seen on the streets begging for money, something's seriously wrong with that picture

This photo is of a 60+ Barbara Walters. She may even be in her 70s! All it takes is a little attention to one's health and appearance to look nice. Women often look horrendous without make-up after a certain age. Most certainly don't go around getting celebrity like photo shoots of themselves without adequate preparation.
