Heidi Klum’s “Shiny Talk-Show Leg”: You Into It?

There’s a certain shiny finish that lady-celebs rock on talk shows that’s so common, I’ve started referring to it as “the shiny talk-show leg.” You can see it in action here on Heidi Klum, who rocked the sheen when she stopped by The Tonight Show recently.

Even though I always find this so odd—so, so odd—I also somehow find myself evoking Petra’s goat-to-shiny-things reflex, wanting to get lost staring at the gloss for hours on end. It’s definitely something I’d call oddly appealing, but only in context. If you put something this shiny on your legs in real life, you’d just look nuts. Who wants their legs to have a shine that calls to mind the sheen of a basted turkey ready to come out of the oven out in the real world? No one sane. But on TV, it’s just so pleasing.

Agree or disagree?
