In case you hadn't noticed, your station broadcasts in color

Back in the 60's when studios stopped producing prime time shows in black and white, the announcer would start a show with something like: "The FBI... In COLOR!" Disney's Sunday night show was called "The Wonderful World of Color."

So I'm baffled as to why I'm getting so many tapes from women who dress in nothing but black, white or both.

Black of course, is a New York thing, but it seems to have taken on a life of its own lately. I'm not sure what TV shows are setting the fashion standard these days, but women should know that the absolute worst colors to wear on television are black or white. Sure, you can wear a dark jacket, but make sure you have a brightly colored top. Colors do so much for your appearance... adding color to your face without makeup.

Black is just stark and white just reflects to badly that you should really avoid these colors on camera. Earth tones aren't much better.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, wear some primary colors. Because there's a reason no one broadcasts in black and white anymore.
