Take Me Out started again tonight.
This is a dating show in which a man comes on, presents himself and does tasks for the chance to win a date with one of 30 single women. It's a of guilty pleasure of mine which I started watching purely because my parents did and it became something I'll half watch on a Saturday night while doing other things. It's a show I would be utterly terrified to go on though; I don't I could ever be the centre of attention for that amount of time and face all that rejection. Still you never know, it's the fear of rejection I think bothers me most rather than the actual rejection. Once it happens on a scale such as that, it might be enough to push me out of it.
It is nice to see what all the girls are wearing though and it's one of the main reasons I tune in; some very varied outfits and lovely dresses . I would really love a pleather pleated skirt. One girl paired it with a lovely tartan top. Another wore a 1950s inspired Lindy Bop dress. I don't know if I would fully want to do the 1940s/50s vintage thing but it would be something I would want to try. I think it's fascinating that the style has made a comeback. Perhaps it took clothes getting shorter and skimpier over the years to make us look back to the past and something which could look glamorous but still be modernized. I've seen these dresses made out of all kinds of materials including patterns I had on curtains and duvet covers back in the 1980s.
