I think something is really wrong with a male therapist who brings up your physical self image on his own - not in response to something you've said. That's fishy. And the advice to watch a model/makeover show? OMG, that is completely whack.
I would call him on it. Tell him you thought it was strange, and you'd like to know why he brought up the subject at all. You could do it playfully - kid him about, "Wow, I didn't know there was a dress code in here," or "I'm sad, I thought you loved me for my beautiful soul," or something. But don't let it slide.
And - be on the lookout for a pattern. Therapists slip up, and one mistake doesn't mean he's completely off. But he could be. His response to your probing around this will be revealing. Don't let it go!!
