Heifervoyeur: Collyer Brother Makeover




Why is it that, in order for one to qualify for a house makeover show, one has to dress like a yeti or dumpster dive or live like a Collyer brother?*(see note) When will someone start a we-think-you're-fabulous-but-aren't-quite-reaching-your-potential-beacuse-you-chose-a-career-that's-noble-and-fulfilling-but-doesn't-allow-you-to-wear-chanel-so-we're-going-to-buy-you-presents show?


* The Collyer brothers were New York society recluses who lived in a Harlem brownstone, hoarding trash, newspapers, etc., which eventually piled so high that it fell on and killed Homer. They couldn't find Langley in all of the trash for almost a month. Eventually, his body was found 10 feet from his brother's. Just goes to show, bad things happen when people have too much money and their parents are cousins.
