This Sunday, like the rest of America, we enjoyed the infectious humor and gentle insights of
Walter Scott's Personality Parade in
Parade Magazine. And we learned something very interesting. One poor man, Miles Siggins, aka
Mr. Miles, is responsible for styling all those kids on
American Idol.This was exciting because of a recent a discussion with a dear friend and fellow Idol-follower. We were trying to figure out why, Why, WHY someone doesn't put that cute
Ramiele Malubay in something besides painted-on skinny jeans. Young Lady! You're on a TV competition, trying to be the new
Christina Aguilera, not interviewing for a cashier's job at Walmart. Put on a dress! Or at least get some pants that fit.
It turns out we can't blame this on Mr. Miles, because he can only take them shopping and exert
influence. The kids have the final, sometimes tragic, say. In a
2006 Entertainment Weekly interview he admitted he was powerless to stop
Sanjaya. At least he tried.
We're sending out this heartfelt, personal plea to Ramiele:
Trust this man. He's a professional. He's styled
Hanson and they're big stars. Or they were. And
Jewel. Big success. Probably has a comeback scheduled for any day now. And if that's not enough, he was the stylist for the reality TV classic
Rockstar: Supernova!
Okay, as we list his clients, we can see where maybe Mr. Miles wouldn't seem totally
relevant to a 20 year old like you. But give him a chance. He's helped others overcome big obstacles, like giving
Melinda a neck.
Just remember,
Simon Cowell might not be a big fan of your ballads, but he is
always a sucker for a cute outfit.
Good luck! We love you!
