Best. Makeover. Ever.

Best. Makeover. Ever.

I’m not usually a fan of “ambush” makeovers — Hey, you!  You look terrible!  Let us tone down your hideousness! — but this one on Kathie Lee and Hoda made me a little weepy, I’ve got to admit.  (And, no, I wasn’t drinking wine along with Kathie Lee and Hoda.  Yet.)  Check out this 77-year-old woman, who was visiting the TODAY show Plaza with her sweet husband of 59 years, when she finally gets a load of herself after a three-hour pampering session…

BEFORE:

AFTER (She’s the second makeover.  BE PATIENT, as my three-year-old always tells me while I grumble about a video not loading on the iPad):

“I look like a movie star!” she excitedly told Hoda. Meanwhile, her husband looked on with tears, as did Kathie Lee and everyone else.

Everyone together now: awwww.

Candy Kirby is the founder of The Laughing Stork and a professional fun-maker who will never stop chasing her lifelong dream: to find the Pomeranian or porn star after whom her parents must have named her. A humor columnist for Disney, Nickelodeon, Scary Mommy, Reductress and Redbook, she also used to be a staff writer for the soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful, where she penned many scripts featuring prolonged heated stares and countless “Who’s the Daddy?” story lines. Candy lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two young kids and three rescue Persian cats, the latter of whom are the real brains behind this operation (so send all complaints to them).
