What Not to Wear in Salem
Salem is an epicenter for fashion. Where else can you walk down the street any day of the year and see men (and women) wearing kilts, people in capes, tri-corner hats being worn by pirates and shop clerks alike, punk rockers in skin tight jeans and mohawks sitting next to blue hairs with their pants hiked up to their nipples? The first day I set foot in Salem I saw a woman in a full blown ball gown with a wand wearing Chuck Taylor sneakers walking down the street. Salem might as well be the next Milan.
Because Salemites have such a “unique” fashion sense Stacy and Clinton from TLC’s What Not To Wear came to town to pay one lucky person a visit. In addition to shutting down some streets, and towing some cars, they filmed some of our Puritans and Witches.
People gathered to watch as variety of shots were filmed around Derby Square and the Old Town Hall. The show hosts then filmed the initial interview with the person getting a makeover inside Old Town Hall.
Keep an eye out for the big reveal being filmed next week and the episode to air on TLC some time in February.

Any idea whose wardrobe was hijacked?
Thank Gods it wasn’t me. I fear their all-way mirror!
Oh, it was Leanne who works at Hex. Funny!
Rippin, Leanne Marrama of Hex had her wardrobe hijacked.
It was fun to watch, although of course they had to shoot the same shot over and over to get different takes. They were also filming another reality show based out of Canada where they took us on a trolley ride with people competing to see who would be the best tour guide (none of these people were actual tour guides or from Salem though, lol).
