British reality series How to Look Good Naked is going to give ego boosts to three women with disabilities in a string of three episodes airing in January. I’ve never seen the show, but the basic premise involves a fashion designer counseling women on how to feel more confident about their bodies without resorting to cosmetic surgery or weight loss. I admire the three women who agreed to participate in the show as they seem much braver than me. My solution for looking good naked is to mentally hum “You Look So Fine” by Garbage until I no longer feel the overwhelming impulse to screw my eyes shut and profusely apologize to whomever else is in the room. Sometimes, this method actually works, but I’d have to come up with a much lengthier soundtrack before I could summon the courage to bare everything for a national television audience.
