So many great shows this year! Yet I am surprised that there was no award or honourable mention for My Second Smile. Truly an outstanding performance.
There was also no mention of Botched. But for this you may need another category. The look on people’s faces, particularly their eyes, as they left this show, told me that this show impacted the soul.
