As for me, I've decided one day to get a professional makeover at least once in my life. It's on my list of things to do because I'm "curious". I want to see what a professional would think about how I should wear my hair, whether I should dye or highlight it, what clothes would flatter me more, etc. etc. etc. Other things on this list are get a manicure/pedicure, and get a professional massage. I think what I'll end up doing is just getting a day pass to some spa which will accomplish the other two AT ONCE as well as get a facial and other stuff that I'm curious about too. I swear if my house was a little messier I'd call those Queer Eye guys in a second!

As for what you can do, maybe you can go to a clothing store and ask one of the guys/girls there to help you pick out stuff that looks good on you. Most will help you if they're not busy and if it looks like you'll be buying stuff. Always nice to have a second opinion. And if you're trying to look a little better for the ladies, how much better can you get than having a lady help you decide what looks good? I know when I go shopping (or at least the three or four times that I have) I always either bring a shopping 'date', or ask the workers whether it looks good or not and if not what would they suggest.
