Father's Day Makeovers
June 19, 2005 — -- Father's Day gifts usually involve golf clubs and gadgets, but this year "Good Morning America" and Redbook magazine teamed up to give three deserving dads a different kind of gift -- a Father's Day makeover.
"GMA" took three fashion-challenged dads, and plucked and primped them from head to toe -- haircuts, new clothes, manicures and even teeth whitening and eyebrow shaping.
The first deserving dad was Joe Shaboo, a 34-year-old math teacher and father of a 14-month-old son, Matteo.
Joe's wife and mother said they'd like to see his look and wardrobe more in the "21st century."
"I'd like to see him in something neater and something that fits a little bit better and that's stylish," said Joe's mom, Sara.
Cheryl Kramer, beauty director for Redbook, stripped Joe of his bushy goatee and eyebrows and trimmed his thick hair.
Kramer also made Joe ditch the tie-dye T-shirt and cut-off jeans and dressed him in a funky but fashionable button-down and modern jeans.
Dad No. 2 was David Donnelly, a university dean who needed a fashion tutorial. Dave's kids said that his wardrobe is "old-fashiony."
"If there's gonna be one thing I could change about my dad's looks, it would be the clothes he wears, like, everyday," said one of his daughters.
