I alway thought that too, about the Fab Five. I think I could use them every once in a while. Just a few episodes of Queer Eye for the Straight (or not, whatever?) Girl. Hey, sometimes we need all the help we can get as well!
And the mirrors at stores aren't the best ones to judge whether to buy something or not! I've bought many an item thinking, "Wow! I look good!" and when I get home I see it in a normal mirror and realize that the store has skinny mirrors. Even my friends have skinny mirrors. I've gotten good at picking them out by now. They're great for helping with your self esteem, but when you're looking for a realistic point of view, they just aren't helpful. Funny, when I pointed out to my friends that they had skinny mirrors, they didn't even know what I was talking about. I was just like, "Haven't you ever realized that you look about 10 lbs lighter in this mirror compared to your other ones?" Apparently they didn't notice. Maybe I'm the weird one? Maybe I'm just too critical of myself, which isn't entirely false. But, I've gotten darn good at picking out clothes that flatter me at least. And darn good at knowing ones that don't. But, I'm a pain to shop with, be warned. I takes me all day to find a pair of slacks I like. But, it usually find a designer that I like and that fits me well, so it works out ok....
