VH1 debuts “TRANSform Me”: Makeover show hosted by three transgender women [video]

”It’s a makeover show where me, Nina Poon, and Jamie Clayton travel all over the country transforming women, using what we’ve learned transforming ourselves.”

Laverne Cox speaking about the new VH1 reality TV show “TRANSform Me.” The program debuted Monday night, and the ladies helped makeover Nicole, an Alabama woman who’d lost 55 pounds and suffered from a lingering, oversized wardrobe. Cox first came to the public’s attention as a contestant on “I Want to Work for Diddy.” She also won a GLAAD media award last year. (VH1) (Laverne Cox)
