Patti Stanger is nearly unrecognizable months after Millionaire Matchmaker is canceled
It looks as if someone has taken a break from the life of lipstick and high heels.
Patti Stanger was nearly unrecognizable as she was spotted out with a friend in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The 54-year-old TV personality covered up her figure in baggy, casual clothes and went make-up free.
This comes just five months after her reality series Millionaire Matchmaker was canceled and six months after she called off her engagement to businessman David Krause.
