Tish

Drama is the word that best describes Tish, a 47-year-old blonde bombshell. Her clothes, however, are anything but dramatic. This North Carolina actress-turned-director is addicted to black clothing; in fact, she thinks that you have to wear black to be taken seriously. Stacy and Clinton have their work cut out for them, trying to convince Tish that the world is much better in Technicolor.

While they're bringing a little va-va-voom to her wardrobe, Nick and Carmindy are bringing a little Hollywood glamour to our drama queen. Nick gives Tish a haircut that's sleek and slimming, while Carmindy shows her how to transform her day makeup into a sexy evening look. There will be comedy and tragedy as Tish learns What Not to Wear.
