    I would happily let them take my clothes and would be elated with the opportunity to spend $5000 on a new wardrobe in NY! It would all be well worth the embarrassment and any offensive comments they might throw my way. I know I could dress much better than I do, I just don't have the money to do so.

    I would also ask them to come back when I've reached my goal - but I would set a time limit, like 6 more months - $5000 worth in new clothes would be one helluva motivator! Then, they could have every single item from my closet (except maybe my running shoes) and I wouldn't stop them!

    Tangent - does anyone remember this show when it FIRST started, before Clinton joined? There was a season, or maybe just a few episodes, with a guy that had long gray hair and wore tracksuits all the time... He was terrible, IMO, Clinton was an awesome replacement!

    I never saw those, but I love Clinton, so I'm happy :)

    They would never need to show up at my place. I am a fashionista who knows the proper way to wear mom jeans with my socks and sandals!

    I would help them trash talk my clothes and then cry in the 360' mirror. LOL

    One of the crazy dressers works in the same company as my sister. I would have laughed every day at work and been happy just to see his outfits.

    I would feel terrible until they pulled out the $5k.

    I would call who ever turned me in and say "yall know I already dress cute but thanks for the $5000." Then off to the mall I go.

    I tell my husband and kids to nominate me--then tape me for the 2 weeks wearing my jammies. I know how to dress but ......DAMN-$5000.00 and a solo trip to NYC,shopping and getting pampered? You betcha I'd be there in a heartbeat! :wink:

    I'd hide all my favorite pieces and then go! Even at this point in my weight loss journey, my clothes are mostly too big and I can't afford to keep buying new stuff... even at Goodwill.

    BTW, Stacy has a lovely Lee jeans ad at the top of my screen right now. Talk about directed advertising.

    Sometimes, I daydream about this.
    I have a really good friend that volunteers as my personal shopping consultant, but without all the free stuff. I feel like I've made a few changes for the better, although I still wear jeans and cotton shirts most of the time, I choose v-neck shirts over band tees (most days) and can find pants that actually look decent now. I'll even wear a skirt now and then. She still bugs me about not dressing nicely enough, but I'm a stay at home mom to two little girls. Give me a reason to dress nicely, and we'll talk.

    I wouldn't want them to come now though, the last thing I need is an excuse to not lose weight.

    Id never stick with what they wanted me to wear but I'd do it for the experience and shopping spree. My family would never in a million years turn me in to them though...they know I love the way I dress and don't like surprises. But I would have to pass on having my hair cut more than a trim or having it straightened.

    I'd accept under two conditions:
    (1) ain't no way I'm wearing heels. Period. They're stupid. They find me flats, I'll buy 'em.
    (2) their hair guy CANNOT color or perm my hair, or use any "product" whatsoever. Nasty nasty NAZTY. A good cut would be welcome, though!

    This, but after I hit my goal!

    Be outwardly embarassed. And secretly relieved and thrilled. I'm a terrible shopper!

    Well after I poop in my pants from embarassment and then change clothes. I'd listen to their adivce and then I'd say "Gimme the card and let me charge" lol

    I would scream and jump up and down in utter happiness!! I love them and would LOVE to take their $5K and shop til I dropped in NYC! I would listen to their advise, tweak what I needed to and go.

    Now, if this question had been asked last year I would have a completely different answer. I would have said I will defend my beautiful clothing with my life.

    But now sadly, none of it fits me. I adore my clothing. I really really do. Like some it is deep down emotional love. But sadly I'm going to have to part with it.

    And yes, a $5000 shopping trip would be wonderful. Especially because I now own very little that actually fits me. Unfortunately, you have to spend that $5000 on what they want you to buy. I could spent a good $1000 on a new custom corset, but I don't think they'd approve. Would they approve of my victorian fashion sense? I think not. Would they approve of a vintage 1930's gown? Probably not. Would they approve of an all out deathrock look? Definitely not. Yeah, I'd love the $5000. But I'm not going to wear what they want me to.

    Bring it on! I'd have to hide a few certain items because I'd totally murder them both if they trashed my band shirts, Tripp clothes, and my work-out clothes. Now...they would highly approve of my work apparel I already own...lots of Loft, Talbots, White House Black Market, NY &Co....but my weekend apparel is so dull. I really love my 'Goth' look...but it's time to grow up just a bit and wear some color on occasion, lol.

    I'd try to trade them in for the room redecorating guys and gals on HGTV.

    I think that I would like the new clothes and wardrobe help but not the part where you are humiliated on national TV!
