Know any unemployed pear shapes craving the national spotlight? Well, we've got just the thing—a Today Show makeover, where ducklings become swans (or at least more swan-like) in front of our very eyes!

A tipster just sent us the following email from a Today flack looking to find the Ugly Betties of the world who might've missed the American Idol bandwagon but still want to embarrass themselves in a public forum.

More specifically, they're looking for rotund ladies (especially apple and pear shapes!) in desperate need of a fashion/style makeover. Naturally, we're all over this.

Just give us a minute to grab our obligatory ugly friend and two or three of our dowdy librarian-type acquaintances and snap a "piccie" for the producers. We'll make sure to wear something particularly unflattering and sport running mascara in the photo so that the before/after shots look all the more convincing.

The full email after the jump:

Hi all,

I just booked the TODAY SHOW to promote our March issue, and need five
gorgeous makeover subjects! Have friends? Send this to them too…

I'm looking for a huge range of different body types - pear-shapes, apple
shapes, athletic shoulders, long legs, short legs, no waist, too curvy etc!
You name it, I need it!

If you want to be on the show with me….shoot me an email and a piccie. But
hurry! The producer needs the candidates by the end of the week….

The show will air Feb 21st. You can keep the clothes and stalk everyone in
the Green Room. (I hear Brad Pitt's on that day too.)

Plus I'll make you look FABULOUS.
