Sarah Jane Pickles and Hollie Wilkinson Snog Marry Avoid?

# Where all my pop stars?

# We are the hipsters. #

Welcome to the dark side!

# You know we're going to party like we're rock stars

# Boys should be terrified

# We're as good as they come... #

Ahh!

If you're one of those people that can't go anywhere

without the fake tan, fake nails, fake lashes, five layers of slap

and a head full of hair extensions, you might want to look away now.

Because, here on Snog, Marry, Avoid?, we're going to help you fling the fakery,

sling the slap and embrace the beautiful, natural beauty that lies beneath.

So, bin the blusher, can the cosmetics

and enter the marvellous world of the makeunder.

Greetings, O great and mighty POD.

I'm glad you're finally giving me my full title, Jenny Frost.

-O wondrous, powerful PODmeister.

-OK, now I'm worried.

What are you after?

Nothing, just your usual dedication to the cause of natural beauty.

Is that all?

Well, that, and I wondered if you wouldn't mind doing a bit of overtime.

I'd might have known there'd be a catch. It's POD's Law.

Let's get cracking, then. K-tsch!

An A-star student who needs a lesson in how to dress.

I'm fake on the outside but I'm a smart-arse on the inside,

because I'm going to be studying law at Manchester University.

POD meets a dancer who's hot, hot, hot! Not.

You know, twirling some fire-sticks around, for me, is quite normal!

And we meet the teenagers who are trapped in a time warp.

We're here to defeat you with cuteness!

So, who's first in the fight against fakery?

Hmm, let me think...

Good golly, it's Holly.

Hi, I'm Holly. I'm 22 and I'm from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire.

# Cos you're filthy

# Oooh, and I'm gorgeous... #

My hair is currently fake. My boobs are fake. My tan is fake.

My nails are fake. My toenails are fake. Oh, and my eyelashes are fake.

MECHANICAL WHIRRING

This is my make-up box. I purchased it from B&Q.

It's actually a toolbox.

# Cos you're filthy

# Oooh, and I'm gorgeous... #

The idea is to backcomb it as big as you can.

The last thing I do before I leave is to spray hairspray

over my make- up, just like this.

Obviously, close your eyes before you do that.

This stops my make-up from sliding, because I like to dance around a lot,

so it keeps my make-up set in place and away we go!

# Get up, get up

# When the music gets a hold... #

I am, at the moment, a full-time dancer, glamour model, pole-dancer,

stilt-walker, fire-eater...

# I'm burning up, baby... #

..multi-skilled, really.

# I'm burning up, baby

# I'm burning up. #

You know, the angle grinder is very dangerous, so I was

apprehensive at first, but now it's like second nature to me.

# I'm burning up, yeah... #

You know, twirling some fire-sticks around, to me, is quite normal!

# I'm burning up, baby

# Can you feel it burning me? #

I do love attention, I'm not going to lie.

# Can you feel it burning me? #

I don't think I'd change for anyone. If people don't like it, then tough.

Hey, POD, ducky. This is one wild child you don't want to mess with,

so try and bring this wildcat down!

# Can you feel it burning me?

# I'm burning up, baby. #

-Hello, gorgeous.

-Hiya.

-How are you today?

-I'm fine, thank you.

-What do you do for a job?

-I'm a stilt-walker, fire-eater, angle-grinder...

-That sounds great fun!

-Multiskilled!

What sort of guys do you attract with this look?

I usually attract loud, leery musclemen.

Um... I struggle to keep boyfriends, if I'm honest.

-I've not had one for a while.

-So why are you having a makeunder today?

I'm having a makeunder because no-one ever sees me without any make-up on.

I won't go out without eyelashes on or any make-up.

I'm going to wish you good luck in POD and I'll see you later on.

I am POD, the Personal Overhaul Device. Who are you?

I am Holly Dolly.

You look like a cross between Rambo and a bimbo. A Rambimbo!

-Why the action bikini?

-Because I like to get attention, maybe?

The only things standing to attention are those boobs!

How big are they?

-They are 34G.

-And how big are your feet?

-Size three.

POD's amazed you can stand upright.

Speaking of feet, what are those toenails all about?

Um, they're acrylic.

They get stuck on like normal nails to make them look longer and pretty.

Pretty?! They look like talons.

Who told you that birds' feet looked good?

Um, they look nothing like bird feet.

Bird feet are yellow, mine are pink, purple and sparkly.

Oh, yes. Silly POD.

Your make-up reminds me of someone.

Of course, Amy Winehouse.

It doesn't look anything like Amy Winehouse, but if you think

I look like Amy Winehouse, that's fine because she got famous for looking like that.

Maybe I'll get famous, looking like this.

Actually, she's famous for being an award-winning musician.

# Tried to make me go to rehab... #

What are you famous for?

-Dancing, getting my boobs out, partying.

-So you ARE Amy Winehouse!

# No, no, no... #

-Any other skills?

-I can stilt-walk, eat fire, angle-grind...

all at the same time if needs be.

If I ever need an angle-grinding fire-eater on stilts,

you'll be the first to know.

-Is that where your clothes went, up in flames?

-Exactly.

I can't angle-grind with a woolly jumper on, now can I?

No, that wouldn't be a good look.

Speaking of which, let's see what the public think of your style.

Initiate Phase One.

We asked the general public, showing them a picture of you

looking like this, if they would snog, marry or avoid you.

-What do you think they said?

-Snog.

Play.

-Um, I'd avoid her. She doesn't look that classy or anything.

-Oh, right.

I'd probably avoid her because she looks like a tart.

I don't mind. The people say that all the time.

I would avoid this girl because she looks...orange.

Again, I'm brown, not orange.

In fact, 90% of the people we asked wanted to get

-as far away from you as possible.

-That's fine.

POD's verdict is, your talon-like toenails, terrible tan

and tarty tops are making you look trashy.

It's time for my...

You're a girl who dances with danger,

so here's the ultimate challenge.

-Get that slap off!

-I'm always up for a challenge, POD.

In that case, initiate Phase Two -

Holly Dolly, it's time to put on your Deep Cleanse uniform, hide all that hair

and remove those earrings, please.

Do you want my eyelashes, as well?

Yes, please.

OK.

Oh, Holly. They look like caterpillars.

Well, they look nice when they're on.

What's nice would be to actually see your skin. Start scrubbing.

-Don't just move it around your face.

-I'm trying.

Very trying(!) Let's have a look at those pads.

We're getting closer,

so hold on, Holly, as it's now time to initiate your makeunder.

In 3... 2... 1.

SHE SQUEALS

-Oh, my God!

-Er, "Oh, my POD!"

My hair exten... Oh, my God, I've got sparkly shoes!

Oh, my God. I love the shoes.

-My God. I look so different.

-What do you think of your outfit?

I really like the dress, it's really nice, and it covers my boobs up.

I've normally got them out, but they're in for a change.

And your make-up?

I feel fresh. My face feels much lighter without loads of make-up on.

Let's see what the public think of your new look.

We showed the general public a picture of the new you

and asked if they would snog, marry or avoid you. Play.

Yeah, yeah. I'd marry her.

-She looks like someone I'd take home to the parents.

-Aww.

I'd snog this girl because she's got a natural face.

Whereas before...they said that I looked like a tangerine.

You kind of did.

I'd snog this girl because I think she's pretty fit.

Really? Who said that? Bring them in here!

Now, 30% of the public want to marry you and the rest want to snog you.

This is your...

Hair curls add volume to help flatter a voluptuous figure.

Instead of a hard, black pencil, use soft, dark eye shadow

on eyebrows to create a gentler look.

Adding a little black dress in a soft fabric helps to disguise a larger chest.

POD computes that you have gone from a Dolly Disaster to a Hollywood Hottie.

-Would you agree?

-Yes, definitely, I love it.

POD confirms this Dolly no longer looks like a wally.

Makeunder a complete success.

-Goodbye.

-Bye!

I'm not sure what my friends are going to think because they're used to seeing me with full-blown lashes,

full-blown make-up, fake tan, everything.

So, hopefully, they're going to like it.

Really excited to see the change that's going to...

-How different she looks.

-I can't wait.

We've been waiting all day, so we just want to see her.

Yeah. All these hours, just to see what transformation's, like, been done to her.

Oh, my God!

-Hiya!

-Lovely! You look all grown up!

-Oh, cheers.

-You look like...

You look like a glamour puss, but not in the glamour puss way you used to look.

-What do I look like?

-You look more sophisticated.

You can't hang around with us, no more. That's it. Ta-Ra!

-Oh, do I really look that different?

-Do you like it?

-I do. I love it.

I really like your hair. It looks healthy.

-Feel like I should be on Baywatch.

-Cheers!

Holly looked amazing, but will she keep it up?

We'll find out later but, first,

in search of the ultimate beauty tips,

we've travelled the length and breadth of the country

and we've come up with...

Well, let's just say it wasn't a total bust.

A tip for making your boobs look bigger,

cross your bra straps over at the back.

A tip for flat-chested girls is to get something else out,

like bellies or legs or arms and then wear padding

but not too much, just a bit to give yourself a bit of an oomph.

If you've got really big boobs, don't wear polo shirts

because it makes your boobs look even bigger.

Next up is an A-star student, who wants to become a hotshot lawyer.

There's only one problem. The way she looks at the moment,

she couldn't even get herself arrested.

Hiya, my name's Sarah Jane. I'm 18, from Rochdale.

I'm fake on the outside but I'm a smart-arse on the inside,

because I'm going to the be studying Law at Manchester University.

# That's what I go to school for. #

Er, my hair's fake. My eyelashes are fake.

My eyebrows are drawn on, so they're fake. My tan's fake.

Basically, my whole face is probably fake.

Er...yeah. And I don't think people take me seriously.

I mean, I've got four A Levels.

I probably wear about two or three pairs of eyelashes.

Everyone jokes and says I've got caterpillars and spiders on my face.

It's better than my little stumps!

If I ran out of eyelash glue, I will have to glue them on with something.

I know, like, nail glue can blind you, but...

the chances of that are pretty slim.

They say when I take them off, my skin will rip off but,

for that odd few hours I've got them on, it's worth it.

I've been wearing extensions for, literally, years.

Get some of this glue. Pop it on.

You've got to press it on for a while.

Obviously, the state of my hair under here is...

quite horrendous, but this is what you've got to do if you want long hair!

For a long time, I've been nicknamed Legally Blond but, even though I've dyed my hair, it's still stuck.

I mean, I've got four A Levels. I got an A in Psychology, I got an A-star in English,

an A in General Studies and an A in...

I don't even know what I got. What did I even study at A Level?

Law. I got an A in Law, as well.

# Guilty

# Of love in the first degree. #

-Hello, gorgeous. How are you today?

-I'm fine, thank you.

Now, I've heard a little rumour that you are going to university to study Law.

-Yeah, I am.

-Is that the reason for this makeunder today?

Are you going to get a more... A look that will get you taken more seriously?

Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going for. Yeah.

-Now you're very, very brown, but is it real?

-No.

-It's three layers of fake tan.

-Three?

-Yeah.

-What about hair extensions?

-Um, hair extensions are glued in.

If they come out, there's glue in my handbag to glue them.

Now, do you use sugar glue or the really hardcore glue?

-The hardcore, super-bond glue.

-That's so bad for your hair.

-I know!

-Have you been battering your hair?

-Yeah, cutting pieces off if there's glue in it.

What do you mean, "cutting pieces off"?

So, if I have a piece of glue in my hair, I just cut it off.

-Cut a piece of hair out.

-Sarah Jane! Put your hand out. Naughty!

-Naughty, naughty.

-I know, it's bad.

It's time to go into POD, so I'm going to wish you good luck

and I'll see you on the other side, when you're all ready for court.

I am POD, the Personal Overhaul Device.

-Who are you?

-I'm Sarah Jane.

Nice boots, if you're going for the Captain Jack Sparrow look.

-Where's your parrot, by the way?

-Ahoy! I can be a pirate.

But I weren't...I weren't...

aiming for the pirate look, no.

So, why dress as one, then?

I'm obviously a very misguided individual.

That's one way of looking at it.

But you haven't always looked like this, have you?

Oh... No!

-That's a very pretty little girl, isn't it?

-No!

It's a shame she lost her sophistication.

I'm very sophisticated.

I've got hair extensions, yes. I've got eyelashes.

But that doesn't make me thick or stupid.

Well, let's see what the public think of your look.

Initiate Phase One.

We asked the public, showing them a picture of you looking like this,

if they would want to snog, marry or avoid you. What do you think they said?

Avoid.

Play.

I would definitely avoid this person. She's got too much fake tan, big hair like Russell Brand.

That is horrible! I'm going to hunt that person down!

I'd definitely avoid this girl, because she looks fake.

She's got loads of fake tan and she's not my type at all.

Yeah, you've got that right,

if you're saying I look like Russell Brand!

I'd avoid. She looks like a bimbo.

She just doesn't look very classy, a bit trashy.

In fact, 40% of the public want to snog you.

-And 10% want to marry you.

-See! Damn straight.

The majority want to get as far away from you as possible.

Thick people.

Sarah Jane, in light of your future in Law, you are going to have my...

Bring it on. This is the makeunder menu. Choose a hair colour.

Um... I've already been blonde, I don't know what ebony is.

Ebony, please, POD.

I can see you didn't get an A Level in Art, Sarah Jane. Initiate Phase Two.

-It's time to take off your boots.

-Whoa!

-And your bangles.

And cover up.

Oh, Jesus. I look like Aladdin!

-Get me a magic carpet!

-You've already got one on your head.

Feel slightly bald.

-Well, don't stop there. Take off those eyelashes, please.

-Argh!

In one word, how are you feeling?

Rubbish!

-Rubbish is what's on your face.

-Oh, my God.

-Start wiping.

-They taste a bit good, these.

-Don't eat my pads, please.

There are two black marks still above your eyes.

You're not having them, either. You're not having them!

Wipe them off, please.

-Well done.

-You've ruined my life.

-Oh, that's what they all say.

You'll change your mind. It's time to initiate makeunder.

In 3... 2... 1.

Whoa!

What the hell?! Oh, my God! Just...wow!

I look like a different person.

-You look like a more sophisticated person.

-It's amazing, innit?

What's amazing is you didn't realise what a natural beauty you were. Do you like your outfit?

Never in my life would I have picked these clothes,

but they are lovely.

-This blouse is gorgeous.

-And what about your hair?

I do love this hair, it's just...amazing!

Well, would you like to see if the public think you look amazing?

Not really friends with the public after the first time, but go on.

We asked the public, showing them a picture of you now,

if they would want to snog, marry or avoid you.

I would definitely snog this girl, she's very pretty.

Can we find out who this person is? Only joking!

I'd marry her because she has a nice smile and pretty eyes.

Never heard that one before.

The world's your oyster with a girl like that. It really is.

So, yeah. I'd marry her.

That's crackers, isn't it?

Now, 20% of the public do want to marry you

and a whopping 70% want to snog you.

Here is your...

Channel your inner preppy with an up-to-date camel skirt.

A pixie crop accentuates youthful features.

And using soft pinks and browns

on the skin will bring some warmth to the face.

Would you recommend your makeunder to anyone?

Um, maybe you could have the whole population of Rochdale on this programme?

-Not again!

-Yeah.

Chavs.

-Have you enjoyed your makeunder?

-I've loved it!

-Goodbye.

-Bye!

Me and Amy will be friends, no matter what. She'll be so shocked.

She'll just be like, "Wow." It's like a proper big change.

I'm excited because I'm not used to seeing her

without any eyelashes on, no make-up, no extensions.

I haven't seen her like that for ages.

Oh, my God! Oh, Sarah, you look gorgeous. Oh, my God, you look so...

-I really like it.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

Look at this! Does it make me look old?

-No, I like it.

-Do you?

-I really like it.

I was waiting for ages, I was like, "Argh!"

-Your hair!

-I know.

-No, I like it. Don't put them back in.

-It's cracking. Just feel it.

-I like it. Don't put them back in, don't.

Mad, innit? When would I buy blue tights and brown shoes?

I don't know.

-Do you like it?

-Yeah.

-Just thrown my eyelashes away.

I was like, "You're never getting them eyelashes off her."

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

Ah, Sarah Jane looked lovely.

She'll fit in with those budding legal eagles now

but will she keep it up? Find out later.

First things first, though.

On my never-ending quest to find amazing beauty tips,

there's something I need to get off my chest.

Nearly ready for a night on the town but I'm feeling that I need a bit more oomph in the boob department.

But this top will not allow a bra.

No problem, I'll just draw on a cleavage. It's quite simple.

All you need to do is get a bronzer,

a little bit darker than your own skin, a good make-up brush.

Get loads on there and you just shade in between your boobs.

You go round the boob like a letter C and the same on the opposite side.

There we go. Plenty on there, ready for a night on the town.

Do you remember Holly from earlier on?

She had a rather skimpy outfit on and POD put her in something

a bit more demure and ladylike, but has she kept it up?

Or has she gone back to her naughty ways? Let's find out.

-Hey, girl! You look gorgeous.

-Thank you.

-You look lovely.

Woof! Sit down.

Now, we've got a lot less flesh on show today.

Yeah, I've decided to go for the more covered-up approach today.

Feel I can walk down the street and buy a sandwich without getting

the world staring at me, so I do feel more comfortable now.

-I'm wearing a lot less make-up as well.

-And do you...

Could you see that you look pretty with less make-up?

Um, at first, no. I felt really bare.

But I braved it and went out wearing less make-up

throughout that first week I left.

Um... It was quite a difficult task, I must admit,

but everyone commented, how better I looked.

The extensions are back.

Yes, unfortunately, but I have gone for the more natural ones

and I haven't gone for as many, so it's a lot flatter

and it doesn't look as lion-like as what it did before.

-As huge as before!

-Yeah.

-Have you got a message for POD?

Thank you for giving me a makeunder and making me

feel beautiful without all of the layers of make-up.

I can now walk down the street without getting the wrong kind of attention.

Next up are a couple who have promised to kill POD with kindness...

If she doesn't kill them first.

-I am POD. Who are you?

-Hi, I'm Emma.

-And I'm Rob.

You look like Little Bo Peep meets Little Lord Fauntleroy.

What in POD's name are you wearing?

This is, er... Sweet Lolita.

-And I'm wearing Kadona and it's basically the male version of Lolita.

-Yeah.

Um...It's all about sweet prints, it's fresh and different, interesting.

It's from Japan. But it's started getting popular outside of Japan...

in the last 20 years.

And they, kind of, were inspired by Victorian England.

And I make some of the little bits and pieces, so it's really fun.

She made my hat.

I think she got the size wrong.

It's a top hat, but they shrunk it down and made it look super-awesome.

Are you sure it's the hat that's at fault? Maybe your head's been inflated?

No, it hasn't, because then I'd have a big head and my body would look smaller.

Yeah, think about that, POD.

-Of course, it's me who's silly.

-Yes, you are.

Do you think there could be a pair of natural beauties under all that fakery?

-No. No.

-I think you are.

-I think you look fine dressed in anything.

I'm going to be sick.

I don't know, I think the clothes are pretty, but I'm not pretty.

-Aw. You are.

-I think I just threw up in my mouth.

-You're so rude!

-I was going to give you a hug.

-Don't touch me!

If I had teeth, the enamel would be wearing off right about now.

The pair of you look like you should be starring in a cheesy musical.

That's incredible! We should make a movie.

If we are, then it's going to be Back To The Future.

Let's see what a dose of the 21st century does for you.

-Oh! Oh, what! Oh! What have you done to us?

-I've made you look normal.

-Oh, you look nice!

-Aw, thanks.

-Aw, you look really nice.

-Bleuch.

That's not changed, then. What do you think of your outfit?

I look like a sort of indie singer. It's terrible.

Actually, most people would think that's a good thing.

-Could you turn us back, please?

-Yeah, turn us back.

A bit too "real" for you? Back to the past, then.

-Oh!

-Yay. That's nice.

-The sparkles.

Got my hat back.

Emma and Rob, you are clearly happier in your la-la land of lollipops and rainbows.

If you come any closer, you'll gum up my works.

So, for now, you are rejected.

-Aww.

-Aww.

-Goodbye.

-Bye, POD.

-Bye.

Do you remember Sarah Jane from earlier on?

She was the beautiful legal eagle who wanted a transformation

to make her be taken more seriously.

But has she kept it up or has she gone back to those naughty extensions?

Let's find out.

-Come in, honey. Look at you, you look absolutely stunning.

-Thank you.

-Sit down. Loving the new haircut.

-Thank you.

-Loving it.

-Your skin looks gorgeous today and you've got no lashes on.

-Nope.

-You look beautiful.

-Thank you.

Getting ready now for a night out must take you a lot less time.

-Is it a lot easier having the short hair?

-Oh, definitely.

I can get in the shower and dry my hair in about 15 minutes.

I can be done in about 45, instead of the hours that it used to take.

I mean, the extensions were quite painful, weren't they?

-They were pulling your hair out. Will you ever go back?

-No.

-Promise?

-Yeah.

What have your family and friends thought?

Um, they really like it.

Obviously, I can be myself and not pile the make-up on, or...

have extremely long hair or caterpillars on my face.

So, overall, I think this makeunder has been a huge success.

Well done, POD. Have you got a message for her?

Um, yeah. Thank you, because you've shown me that it is possible for me

to be myself and still be a confident person.

Aw. I love her. She's cute!

Top marks for you, POD.

Sarah Jane looked like the smartest kid in class with that look.

It doesn't take an A-star brain to work out that natural beauty is the way forward.

Well, that's just as well, because you're more a B-plus.

Could try harder.

See me after school, Miss Frost, and write out 100 times,

-"I must not be rude to POD."

-Yeah, I'll get on to that just after you... POD off!
