I’ve been looking for SOME way to practically help the homeless people we see everyday. I like this concept, though not universal, it’s a good idea. Take the media crazed reality world and use it for good. Pimpthisbum.com It’s not degrading at all but catches attention for a really good cause, they take homeless people, spot light them and get them donations , housing , the whole 9.
Instead of Extreem make-overs to make normal people look like Barbies , or “Pimp my ride” shows – why not help the very people that have nothing at all and do a life transformation on them . In my opinion, there shouldn’t be ANY homeless people in America – we could really solve that problem completely. Instead of paying attention to the already-rich-and-famous. Let’s bring glory to people who have nothing, and give them everything. I know it’s not that simple, but the concept should be used. Anyway there are a million ways to solve problems here is one of them:

Let’s hope this new one can be as ground breaking as “little earth quakes” was, and as concise as BFP, [fingers crossed) let’s also hope as an artist, Tori’s best is yet ahead.
