News and glamour

Over the years I've noticed, with minor disgust, how as soon as a female news reporter reaches a certain level of success, she is chosen for a makeover to make her appear more glamorous. The most recent victim is a highly regarded international reporter at CNN. To my bohemian eye, they never come out looking more attractive, just less trustworthy, more like magazine models than investigators. The makeover never fails, so entrenched are certain ridiculous standards of female glamour. Needless to say, men never partake of this corporate ritual.
