Eric

Although jewelry designer Eric Braunsdorf is 29, his friends say he looks like a college student (and a female one at that!). Eric is at a turning point in his career, but with his long pony tail, his man purse, and his oversized T-shirts, he's unlikely to become a high flyer. Stacy and Clinton want to show Eric how to make the most of his small frame and get him a wardrobe of clothes that will suit him for whatever the future holds. There is one huge obstacle - Eric hates shopping! He inherits his clothes from friends when they're done with them rather than go to a store. An will Eric, who hasn't had his hair cut for 10 years, succumb to the scissor-wielding Nick Arrojo?
