There is a new "fashion makeover" show on the block: "Transform Me."

The 30-minute series is a show "about everyone who's ever felt that the person they are on the inside isn't quite reflected in who is seen on the outside." Each episode follows the makeover of a woman "badly in need of a transformation -- on the outside and inside…" sounds interesting.

From the press release:
The subjects quickly find out this won't be your typical makeover. They'll be transformed by three transgender women. The ultra-glamorous makeover team, led by Laverne Cox (VH1's "I Want To Work For Diddy") with Jamie Clayton and Nina Poon, travel across the country answering "style 911 calls" in their deluxe fashion ambulance, helping subjects find the right style -- and the confidence that comes with it. The new eight-episode Transgender folks are in many ways the ultimate example of this. We've taken extraordinary steps to bring who we are on the inside…out, and we're committed to helping other women do the same thing. If we can do it, anyone can!" said Laverne Cox.

The cast includes LAVERNE COX: The first African American transgender woman to appear on an American reality show ("I Want To Work For Diddy.").  JAMIE CLAYTON: A makeup artist who works in the fashion & beauty industry and has assisted the industry's top makeup artists . She is a positive role model for the Transgender community.  NINA POON Lives in New York with boyfriend, Robert Jason, an Emmy award winning producer and filmmaker and appears in Jason's forthcoming docu-series on the lives of transsexual women in New York entitled BEING T.

Full Episode Summary
Twenty-five year old Nicole recently lost almost 60 pounds--but you'd never know that by looking at her wardrobe. Many months have passed since her dramatic weight loss, yet she's still wearing her "fat clothes" and feeling like the shy, overweight girl she'd always been. Enter Laverne, Jamie and Nina. They've all gone through dramatic physical transformations, and they know what it takes to see yourself as you really are. They hope that new clothes, new hair, new makeup and a new sense of self will all help Nicole recognize and embrace her true inner goddess!
