Why does Clinton think Bea Arthur's costumes on The Golden Girls were so boxy and shapeless?

Why did Clinton Kelly describe his visit to Action Park as one of the worst days of his life?

Why does Clinton think Blanche's red wedding dress in The Golden Girls is both flattering and problematic?

Why did Clinton Kelly name his new show 'Wear Whatever the F You Want'?

Tastefully sexy means showing skin in a way that is sophisticated and womanly, rather than trying to compete with younger women. It's about feeling comfortable and confident in your own skin, without seeking validation from others.
Why does Clinton Kelly think the 80s workout outfits in The Golden Girls were both ridiculous and appealing?
