I came across this fab post on the Rubber Chickens blog today. It’s a wonderful reminder about how amazing what Gok Wan does on How to Look Good Naked really is, which is easy to forget when he does so much else and has so many imitators and detractors.

It’s well worth a read. Read it now.

Whatever you’ve thought of Gok Wan’s last show Miss Naked Beauty, I definitely think that the right girl won - well done to 20 year old Shona Collins. Shona definitely ticked all the right boxes for me - intelligent, articulate, funny, curvy, gorgeous, and with her petite figure and flame red hair she is the perfect spokewoman for the women that are underrepresented (or not representated at all) by the beauty industry. Go girl!

And in case you start getting Gok withdrawal symptoms, Gok’s new series of How to Look Good Naked has already started!

I know there are so many people out there who would love to receive the Gok Wan treatment. The fact that there are so many women out there unhappy with their bodies and so little time to help them was one of the main reasons Gok created his lingerie range.

Well, now Gok is looking for men and women of all shapes and sizes to take part in his new series of How to Look Good Naked. So if you need to make friends with your body again and get your confidence back then Gok is here to help!

Gok Wan never ceases to amaze me with all the projects he gets up to.

Adding to his long list of projects which includes the Gok Wan lingerie range for Simply Yours, Miss Naked Beauty currently on TV, a new series of How to Look Good Naked coming next year, his current book How to Dress and a documentary on obesity focussing on his own drastic weight loss he has now launched… a book on how to look fabulous when flying!

Gok Wan teamed up with Air New Zealand to produce the style guide ‘Looking Fly in the Sky’, which covers everything from packing advice, to in-flight chic, to hair and beauty tips.

Gok Wan:

“Arriving at your destination looking fresh and fabulous is important, whether flying for business or pleasure.”

“I’m not recommending the old style elasticated waistband trousers but you want to be as comfortable as possible.”

Here are some top travelling tips from Gok:

- Exposure to air conditioning for any length of time can dry out your skin. Pack a rich hand cream with Vitamins A,C and D which will replace moisture to the skin instantly. And use it on your feet and elbows too!

- Take a change of clothes for the plane. A light-weight tracksuit is ideal and ladies, a pashmina is great for snuggling down on long haul journeys!

- Layering is super easy: the key is to use block colours for simplicity and make sure your top layer is easy to remove allowing you to control your own personal temperature gauge while on board. Mixing knits is so this season!

- Guys: to avoid looking like Russell Brand on a bad hair day, don’t put product in your hair before the flight. Just before landing nip to the loo and style away. Don’t use too much - there’s nothing worse than a chip shop mop!

Gok Wan’s guide will be available from the Air New Zealand website.

Don’t forget you can catch Gok Wan tonight on Children in Need!

I received an e-mail recently from a male Gok Wan fan who wondered whether there was anyone out there who could give guys the Gok treatment. Gok Wan had previously only ever worked with women on his shows.

Well, now it seems that the Fairy Gok mother has changed his tune and is going to come to the rescue of dudes in distress, in his new series of How to Look Good Naked, out next year.

Gok Wan said:

“I used to be a male stylist and I used to do lot of work with guys and next year on How To Look Good Naked we’re putting guys into the show”

And what man would Gok makeover given the chance?

Some ugly duckling to transform into a swan with a little style SOS?

Nope. James Bond actor Daniel Craig - “because he’s fit!”

Well Gok, can’t say I blame you there!

Not content with ‘Gokking’ the Simply Yours girls, Gok Wan is set to style the women of Coronation Street for Children in Need. It sounds like Gok’s going to give them the full How to Look Good Naked treatment, no less!

Tune in to the BBC this Friday 14th November to see which Corrie characters get their kit off for Gok and a good casue. Got to be worth a watch!

Gok Wan at Simply Yours

Gok Wan’s new show has definitely been causing mixed reactions throughout the media. Whist I personally am getting somewhat addicted to Miss Naked Beauty some people are less than impressed and have been saying it is humiliating to the women taking part.

The way I see it, the women are being made to face up to their fears, which is never going to be easy. And Gok is doing it the best way he knows how - using the outrageous, straight to the point tactics he is known for. Which, let’s face it, get results! I for one am fed up with women hating their bodies and am glad Gok is trying to do something about it. Gok always asks them, right before hand if they are ok to do a specific challenge and they are free to say no. No-one said that How to Look Good Naked was humiliating and that used the same ‘cruel to be kind’ technique - because we saw how much happier with themselves the people on it were afterwards and how it changed their lives.

Now some of the contestants in Miss Naked Beauty clearly still have a lot of hang-ups. If they find some of the challenges hard it’s because of the negativity about themselves they’ve been ingrained with by society - the negativity Gok is trying to get rid of. And as an end result they not only stand to feel happier about themselves but also to help change the lives of other women by trying to liberate them from those negative feelings too. So the hang ups have got to go!

Saying that it’s humiliating to be seen without make-up or to show a part of your body is like admitting that there is something to be ashamed of in that un-made-up face or about that body part. And Gok is saying that there is nothing to be ashamed of - in fact, it’s something to be proud of.

But there I go, ranting on again! Let’s hear it from the man himself Gok Wan, as he defends Miss Naked Beauty:
