I take it they have stopped teaching the Golden Rule in School.
lol
Oh Good Lord, they are TOTALLY relentless on you. Most of us only WISH we could look like u do. Please dont change ANYTHING Tara. You look absolutely Wonderful. These negative fashion police need to come forth & let US weigh in on THEIR looks….* Sigh * they r on a mission for sure. Their lives must be really sad.
That is ridiculous! Maybe all these people first need to be more specific. What exactly is wrong w ur hair or clothes or whatever? And then what exactly should be done about it? Finally i want these people to foot the bill. It would be interesting to have all these people also send in photos of themselves …and yes dressed up with hair done… bet thered b a million things to pick apart on them! U r beautiful Tara. Well dressed. Well groomed. Physically attractive and most import u have a neat personality that shines thru. Dollars to donuts these critical people are fat ugly and jealous!!!!!!!!!!!
Are thoes people saying you need a makeover are they going to pay for it . Because you dou not need that God made you just the way you are.
First, I think the message to you needs to be rewritten:
We thinks ……….
new hair do ………
new wardrobe ????????
I agree with # 3! I love your hair, and your wardrobe is from Dillards and I am not sure what beauty and spa treatments include. You go to a salon! What do these people want??????? We love you and think you look magnificant!!!!!!
Ditto…Mom of 3!!!!!! Cannot believe some people!!
I totally disagree with that viewer!! We love you just the way you are.
Would love to see how these people who comment on you look themselves…
You’ve got beauty inside and out. Don’t let these nasty comments EVER get to you!
Education is everything!
Spa treatment? For what?
KWWL forever!!! Really, and how old is this person? I’m guessing very young.
Maybe it’s time to go outside and play, build a snowman in their spare time.
Think this SAGA of how you look should end!
Tara, you do such a TREMENDOUS job as an anchor for KWWL…..your SINCERE, CARING
nature is reflected in your news delivery….which tells me about what is inside you…and your attire is your CHOICE in the role you fill.
Many more important matters/issues that need our attention.
Totally agree with Fran. I heard a piece on texting/facebooking and they said if you can’t say something to a persons face they shouldn’t say it on the web. I think that’s the problem with the web- it is so easy to write something and hit send. Keep up the good work Tara – glad you have strong shoulders to put up with all this nonsense.
To add on to the previous messages, a pastor yesterday refered to this problem of how accessible social media is. It has resulted in SO much cynicism and criticism. He called it “throwing digital stones” and that those who stoop to that level are not creative enough to do themselves what they criticize others for.
Tara – I hope all the positive responses you get prove how much the majority of your viewers appreciate how you report the news and how you look. I think that if these people seriously have an issue with your looks that they need to personally visit the KWWL station and talk with you and management instead of hiding behind a screen name at a computer.
