Michelle Visage's web series 'Hooker Makeover' featuring Morgan McMichaels was officially cancelled yesterday. In the series, Michelle takes her "Jersey Haute Couture" to the streets of Hollywood to share fashion tips that will really get some attention.
World of Wonder wrote an open letter regarding the show:
World of Wonder wrote an open letter regarding the show:
It has come to our attention that many people have been offended by our web series Hooker Makeover.
World of Wonder and Michelle Visage have long been huge supporters of Sex Workers’ rights, and have been committed to not perpetuating stereotypes or encouraging whorephobia.
The intention of Hooker Makeover was to produce a send-up of traditional makeover shows. Something that was playful and full of heart, not to contribute to negative perceptions of the sex worker industry. However, as an act of solidarity and support to this misaligned industry, we have decided to discontinue the series.

Though we love Michelle, this series definitely flopped. Hooker Makeover had been receiving significantly less views than many of the other WoW series. We hope World of Wonder has something amazing to take its place.
