Stereotypical bbc jobs? What stereotypical bbc jobs?
I mentioned a few bbc/British Chinese celebs in an earlier post and what with Dr. Rob Yeung having his on BBC TV series on careers and confidence, there is a growing pantheon of individuals who are disproving the old bbc stereotypes on our screens these days.
The latest addition is Gok Wan, a bbc fashion guru from Leicester who's TV show (and book) is entitled 'How to Look Good Naked'. He was doing a book signing in London today, an advertisement for which prompted me to post this.
Gok's speciality is taking women who dislike their bodies and building up their confidence using fashion and style tips. At the end of his coaching sessions, his subjects pose nude to demonstrate their new found confidence.
UPDATE: Gok Wan's TV show begins on Channel 4 on May 1st, 8pm
Read about Gok and hear an interview with him here.
After some Googling, here's a post about Gok from a blogger friend of his.
And finally, Gok's book is out now.

What a dream job... :)
Perhaps they'll make a Malaysian version? :)
Yeah, but the guy's just so amazingly camp. I doubt we want that stereotype. Then again, we don't exactly have much to begin with, eh.
