Reality TV is pretty big lately, even though technically, there's no such thing. Even when we get live feeds of whichever million-dollar-house participants are shackled in, we can only see one camera at a time. Out of over 50 cameras, we see what the Producers want us to see, what the producers deem exciting or TV-worthy. But that hasn't stopped people from showing the 'reality' of everything from cooking to making clothes out of seaweed.
Makeovers pull crowds as well. Everyone likes the idea of being instantly glamorous, and I know I wouldn't refuse if I was offered one, even if I know that 60% of the glamour comes from lighting.
I have always heard it said that people look prettier in candlelight. I didn't pay much attention until I used the ladies room at Java ABC Place. It has this dim romantic lighting, and as I looked in the bathroom mirror, I swear I looked more attractive than I had five minutes before.
