Greetings TV Garth readers! My local shopping mall recently held a taping of the W Network show How To Look Good Naked Canada. W Network is a cable and satellite channel, which is contrary to what I normally cover on this blog. But the host is handsome, it’s a TV show, and I was there to see it happen – so I deemed it TV Garth worthy!
Below is the “notification of taping” placed in front of the show’s production area at the Markville Shopping Centre. (The show filmed in the mall’s Centre Court, which has seen celebs Ashlee Simpson and Emily Osment among others pass through!)
How To Look Good Naked Canada is hosted by the attractive Zain Meghji, who has also worked for CTV’s entertainment show eTalk. (Check out his official bio for an impressive list of his accomplishments.) The official W Network blurb about the show states: “Forget the unobtainable bodies you see in the media and forget whatever you’ve been told by anyone who can’t see you as the exquisite individual you are. The only beauty you should be measuring yourself against is your own. Applying these principles, How to Look Good Naked Canada, host Zain Meghji and a team of fashion and lifestyle experts are on a mission to restore body confidence in women everywhere. No surgery required!”
Below is a cavalcade of photos I captured at the January 12th taping, where Zain was showing these two women how to do a proper strut down the runway. Watch the woman at left in the pic below showing off a sassy toss of her hair.
I love that everyone is laughing it up in the photo below, including the production crew!
Zain looks like he realizes he’s created a Runway Diva Monster, as the woman below sashays down the catwalk.
The next day (January 13th) they were filming the full out runway shows with audiences, and I couldn’t resist capturing some more pics. This time Zain was decked out in a suit and the ladies were in sexy attire. (It appears that they were filming parts of several episodes over the two days.)
Check out Zain and the ladies with a cutout of Ellen DeGeneres that reads “I Watch Ellen in THE NUDE!” (Note to self: Make appointment to watch Ellen with Zain….)
Giving Ellen a kiss for luck never hurts!
As if I needed any more reason to like Zain, I found an interview he did with Hardip Johal for the Vancouver Sun where he namechecks three of my favourite Diva icons! Zain said: “Pop culture is saturated with makeovers. The heroine is allowed to be her best self once she's got her hair did and her makeup done. In film, think My Fair Lady. Pretty Woman. Or look to animated series: She-Ra. Jem. Wonder Woman. Diana Prince was hot in her pencil skirt and crisp blouse, but put her in star-spangled panties and a gold-trimmed bustier and she was unstoppable. Besides, nothing completes an outfit like a tiara, red knee-high boots and bulletproof bracelets. Am I right?” Eeeeeee! She-Ra, Jem and Wonder Woman??? Marry me Zain….it’s legal here!
I made a short video about watching the taping which you can view below:
The funny thing is, I made the joke in the video about wondering what he would look like naked before I found an official promotional photo of Zain wearing nothing but a smile and a bright red maple leaf! Oh Canada, indeed! (Photo credit: Andrew McNaughtan / W Network)
Check out the How To Look Good Naked Canada site for more info on the show and to watch full episodes. (Full episodes may not work outside of Canada, but it’s worth a try!) Catch the show on W Network Tuesdays at 10pm!
Stay tuned to TV Garth for more television related treats!
You make DXing cool :) Even without the posts about Zain. Way to go. Most DXers are old and boring. Maybe you're actually both (doubtful!)... but you'd never know it hahaa. -Chris (WTFDA) :)
ReplyDeleteHi Chris!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the compliments! :-) I appreciate it! Heh...I just turned 30 a few months ago, but feel like a cranky old man sometimes! Checked out your site and it's very cool - some great DX and pop culture coverage on there! :-) Take care!
Garth
Thanks. My site has lost a lot of pages over the past year. I've downsized drastically. My DX pages... dang, that's just a major issue for me because I have about 500 files alone destined for that page, but likely won't have time until summer. Satellite images, weather data, and stuff! Too much to deal with now. My article there as well must really be edited or re-written. I have some feedback from some professors to add to it. But yeah, it'll be quite a while!!! Oh, and Beagle Bass is Beaglebass (all one word) - thanks for the link! :) And for the record, Beaglebass means absolutely nothing. haha. It IS a combination of a few things, but it was dreamt up in study hall in high school and 5 years later, still holding onto that name, I registered it lol. Now I can't change it cause my page has been there for 6 years!!
