'Naked' guest bares her soul
Apparently, that's true of a woman who's on the second-season premiere of "How to Look Good Naked" (Tuesday, July 22), a Lifetime show that despite its title is actually a sweet, supportive, uplifting series.
It's sort of a makeover show, but most of the making over goes on inside women's minds. Host Carson Kressley gives them wardrobe assistance, but he also works to make them see the good in themselves and not just focus on the bad.
However ... Kelly Park carried those lessons just a little bit too far.
In "How to Look Good Naked," there's a pivotal scene in which the women, clad only in underwear, stand in front of full-length mirrors as Kressley talks them through getting to love themselves. Park, however, took this to a level the show's producers never imagined.
The day after filming on her episode ended, she walked into work wearing nothing but a bra and panties.
"And they were blown away, and they applauded me with all of my stretch marks and everything, all of the little dings on my body."
Applause? I would have thought a pink slip would have been more appropriate.
Just to make this clear, Park didn't do this as part of the show. She just did it.
Talk about getting too personal at work.
Don't get me wrong. Park is a rather attractive woman and, far more importantly, I'm happy for her that she's acquired this fantastic new attitude about herself.
But she's apparently unfamiliar with the concept of TMI too much information.
"I'm a different person. I'm a better wife. I'm a better mother ... " Park said, adding she's also better in the bedroom.
TMI! TMI!
Kressley, as always, was a hoot. Even if he did sort of egg Park on after her comment.
"With just your husband?" he asked.
"Well, yes," Park replied.
"Because that would be a whole different show ... " Kressley said.
In an age when people go on TV and tell their intimate secrets to Oprah, Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer, Park felt comfortable telling a room full of complete strangers TV critics, for goodness' sake her intimate secrets.
Yes, we're all happy for her. We're thrilled that she's discovered that the right underwear "changed my life."
