Boy do I agree with you on Austin, it has been become trash city. College Station is more appealing.

Lets just say me in the kitchen go together like argyle and polka dots. I'm a horrible cook if my husband was here he would second that. We always eat out for the safety of both of us. I also have this phobia of being burned.

I just can't stand Vincent or his designs. I think he is a sham. It seems like he must have paid someone to get on the show and then he took a crash course in sewing so he could keep up. It AMAZES me how week after week the judges LIKE his designs. They are AWFUL. He is like a train wreck, I am just waiting for this guy to explode! I keep thinking that everyone must be momentarily insane when they compliment him, what are they BLIND?

Hey Swiss,
Hope you are not off line long and don't miss any PR.
Good luck with your move and be safe.
I have visited the Chicago area many times for work and like it.

Not just public office, but everywhere. My entire career as a copyeditor has been built on making Ph.D.s look as if they know how to write! I've been told I'll never be unemployed!

I am hoping that I won't be off for any length of time. But who knows. I am going to hook up the computer and tv's immediately and with the telephone come the internet access. So if all the utilities work with me and do their jobs and I find the router for the internet immediately I will not be off too long. I am going to just fall apart if I don't get my PR weekly fix. Would not be healthy for my mental state. Frustration would set in, I might even become comatose. Or I could just call motels and hotels and find out if they have Bravo and move into one of them for an hour or so.

You are probably right on that one. I hate the writing part of the job. My mind works faster than my fingers and I leave out words, transpose letters and just do an all around bad job at it. But then when I have to and get down to the task at hand, I make it work. The hardest part for me was learning to write in the scientific style. Not the story telling style. I have admiration for any who can sit down and write a polished paper in one setting. Me it takes about four or five editing processes. Also for me it is difficult to get everything I want to say hit upon in the first paragraph without making it so long it runs for pages. Here I just plod along and enjoy. Thank goodness for spell checkers on my computer. Another thing I found difficult is to keep up the with changes in style of the scientific paper. It used to be so heavy with footnotes at the back instead of the present, running footnotes, etc. Things change and adjust as the new turks take over.

Hee! Especially the president. Okay, I'll stop now. LOL




I am so tired of people making fun of Bush. Just because he is from the South people act like he is stupid. Sweeties, I bet most of us on this list didn't go to Harvard. He is a very charming, down home person that is faithful to his wife...unlike some of our other (I presume you think) great presidents.

Now back to public schools they are under funded but you are not giving enough credit to the great teachers that go above and beyond even with little pay and LESS RESPECT.

BTW.....wonder what Parsons pays?

Blessings




Just an fyi, Bush didn't go to Harvard either. I'm from the South so no assumptions that I think he's not one of our brighter presidents just because he's southern.

Back to PR and sorry for the political interlude.



You are correct. His degree was in history from Yale.

I will carry this even further, by the time I finish everything that needs to go into a paper, I am tired. I have raced to finish all the testing by a certain date, crammed all the notes and information together into what is supposed to be an organized form and then I sit down to write two days before the publisher's deadline. I write and write and the more I reread the more I do not see. Finally I fax or mail overnight the paper hoping I do not look as stupid as I feel when it comes to composition. I then get the proofs back and have to reread it again. As far as I am concerned I wish someone could just tap my brain and organize it for me, so I could go on and do what I enjoy the most, being in the lab blowing up things, thinking of new ways to do things, thinking up new ideas. As far as I am concerned you will always have a job. From what I hear different parts of the brain do different things, that part of my brain is pea sized, while the scientific part is well developed or more active. I find the best of the scientific writers are the foreign born, the ones who have a different mother tongue than English. They learn the kings English and write well. Me I speak and write American most of the time, and only put on the apron of the professional writer when I have to. See "to" at the end of a sentence. Midwesterner at heart thru and thru. How would you do in a lab?

GREAT letter. Be sure to read some of the comments afterward. My favorite:

"Oh! I'm inspired: The Shoplifting Challenge! You have to design an outfit constructed entirely out of items you successfully lifted from Macy's. Including cosmetics -- no L'Oreal suite this week. Call the producers! Let's make this happen!"

Now THAT would be a challenge to see! ROFL!!!

Well like everyone else, I have been watching the reruns today. I really feel from what I am watching now that Alison and Jeffrey have become close friends. He was from what I could determine very upset when she was removed from the program. It shows a totally different side of Jeffrey. From what I gather tonight's episode he an Angela really get their horns locked together. She cries. Um. I think that should be more contributed to them being sleep deprived. As I remember Alison mentioned that in her exit interview. I know how I get under that circumstance - not at my best.

I sure do, and white-out was a gift from God. I hate to say it I remember the old manual typewriters and that was even more horrible. I thought God had died and put me in charge when I got my first IBM Selectric. When computers came in I knew he died and left me in charge. lol

KC? as in Kansas City? That's where I grew up! Moved there when I was 3, so I consider it my "home town." Left in the mid-70s to move east with (now-ex-)hubby.

Well, I suppose everyone has a supreme lack of judgement from time to time. From reading the boards, I think that most people are shocked and dismayed with Alison's departure. I was very disappointed. This is the first time I have ever posted to the boards, but I thought one more voice could provide the solution: Bring Alison Back For Project Runway 4. I think it would be a good solution, and a fair one.
Alison: Maybe the judges were having a bad day? The internet backlash should pep up any lowly spirits. I believe you are a great designer.

Quote:

OK fashionista/o's, of the world I have a fall fashion question. Nina Garcia in ELLE has told me that cowboy boots are out...now what I want to know is are they? is it just cowboy boots? or is it all boots that have a western feel? I just want to know because I have some pretty expensive (for me) boots that I love and don't want to give up wearing but I don't want to look stupid like some of the people who haven't given up there chunky soled shoes (and when I say chunky I don't mean platform like all the mags have right now)...you all know what I mean...you've seen them...(not offense to anyone who loves their chunky soled shoes---that's pathetic that I felt like I had to write that:v))




I, for one, love my cowboy boots. I don't care if they are "in" or "out." To me, they are timeless, comfortable, and funky, all at the same time. I plan on wearing them whenever the mood strikes me. (Just not with a mini-skirt--I'm way beyond those years!)

So my advice to you, humble though it may be, is wear 'em with pride. If you like them, if you paid a lot for them, if they suit your style, then go for it!

Okay, Mr Lazylady and I were discussing something at dinner.

I have read a few things where the designers that were kicked off before Keith got thrown off for the books, have made some comments that who knows how the show would have developed had he not been there in the competition from the beginning and had the unfair advantage (whether he used the books or not).

Wouldn't it be fair to bring back those designers for next year and let them start over and give them a fair chance?

Good! I appreciate the advice...I asked my husband but he just shrugged...asked my son and I got something like "dadumbauhaioulasa" not very clear and everyone else in my life, whom I love, are like "Fashion? Who cares about fashion?"
Love my bohemian style...very Kate Hudson, when I try. (Disappointed that her marriage is over :v() And when mags said that it was out...pissed me off...

WHY did PR boot off Alison? She was one of the best designers on the show. In fact, I considered her one of the front runners to win. Every week she has a great design. Even the design that got her kicked off was not that bad. It was certainly better than anything Vincent has done. Why is he given another chance week after week? I suspect it's because he makes for more interesting TV than Alison, since he is a loon! If that's true, than shame on the producers. In any case, I am certain that Alison will do very well in the world of fashion. I love PR and have been a faithful viewer since the first season, but you almost lost me with this last show. Please, let the truly good designers prevail.

Welcome to the board! I am a new poster as well and new to PR as well. I agree with your sentiments. If tonite's episode is about plus sized creations, I am beginning to wonder if last week's comments by Heidi were "designed" to tie into this episode.

Okay. This is random. I went to an open-air movie last night and they were showing Beach Blanket Bingo . It was terrible, but it made me realize something. Michael Kors reminds me of Paul Lynde, that 60's actor who was in just about everything.

If you don't recognize the name, you would know him from Bewitched , I Dream of Jeannie , and the voice of Templeton the Rat in Charlotte's Web , Gidget , etc. Like I said, he's been in absolutely every popular tv show and movie from the 60's.

Don't tell me you don't like Beach Blanket Bingo, that and Gidget were some of my favs growing up. I watched them all again recently and still love them. Not quite sure how you see Kors/Lynde similarities. Surely not in looks, but maybe in the voice.

Ok I will try again. Michael does remind me of Paul Lynde, however, Paul was much more adept at delivering the one liner!

After much thought and deliberation, I am going to watch this week's show. I guess we all have fallen into the trap and we're all guilty of being curious. For those of you who are wondering, I am doing fine and I look forward to sharing some Project Punch and TC snacks with you tonight.
