Saturday Six #374

This week’s set of questions is all about what you wear, or in some cases, what you’re not wearing. How’s that for an opening line?

I hope you enjoy this week’s set of questions. One other important note: if you didn’t join in last week, you might have missed the fact that commenting is a little different this month. Check out this post for details about Livefyre.

Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your blog… But don’t forget to leave a link to your blog so that everyone else can visit! Permission is not granted to copy the questions to message boards for the purpose of having members answer and play along there. Enjoy!

1. What are you most often wearing when you’re at home in front of the computer? Either my EMT pants (I think they call them cargo pants - with the many pockets) - or "slouch-around-the-house" pants; lounge pants.

2. What color do you tend to avoid the most in your wardrobe? I don't have any colours in my wardrobe that I avoid.

3. What style of clothing (i.e., formal, business, casual, workout, etc.) do you wish you could avoid wearing forever? Dresses, dressy clothing.I'm at home in casual clothing - jeans, cargo pants, lounge pants, sweaters are my favourite. Summer makes me uncomfortable with smaller less-covering shirts.

4. What color do you think you look best in? Burgundy, hunter green, dark blue, black.

5. If you could get a free visit from a stylist who would tell you what your best colors would be and point out what clothes you should wear, would you take her advice? I already did - years ago, my mother got into colours by seasons. So by sitting down with someone and gauging their skin tone, hair colour, eye colour, etc., she could tell anyone what "season" they are and the colours that fit. I'm a winter - I have sallow skin, dark brown hair and brown eyes. So within that season, I wear the colours you see above. Those aren't the only colours I can wear, but they are the ones I like the most. So I have that - and that is why there are no colours in my wardrobe that I avoid.

6. If you had to pay $100 for that advice, how much less likely would you be to seek the advice? I would not. I got it for free!

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really fair that she’s up for a MasterChef win aft

A.W.A.D. - 14-Letter Words, 14-Letter Definitions

Back in 1994, when I founded Wordsmith.org on a Pi Day (March 14), I had no idea that one day we'd be celebrating its quadridecennial. Here's what the last 14 years look in numbers: So far we have sent out 3,782 unique words and 297 AWADmail compilations to 640,000 present subscribers in 200 countries, that is more than 1.6 billion pieces of email. Well, this week we're seeing all things 14. We'll feature words that are 14 letters long, and define each of them in 14 letters. acritochromacy (uh-KRIT-o-kro-muh-see) noun Color blindness. [From Greek akritos (undistinguishing) + chroma (color).] tintinnabulate (tin-ti-NAB-yuh-layt) verb intr. To ring; to tinkle. [From Latin tintinnabulum (bell), from tintinnare (to jingle).] tinctumutation (tinkt-myoo-TAY-shuhn) noun Change of colour.

An Interesting Wife Swap...

Image
I'm catching up on our Wife Swap recordings. I'm watching the epiode Burroughs/Padovan-Hickman one that aired on 17 April 2009. The one I watched just before was really quite satisfying - the families both learned a lot and seemed to really take it to heart. This one, however, is back to the familiar mold of putting families that are so totally diametrically opposite families together that they almost can't get along. This is interesting, though, because the Padovan-Hickmans have electricity but don't use it, don't flush often, go for a week without showering and then the whole family uses the same bathwater... I can see where that would be hard, especially for me in that I have very oily skin and hair and would look rather wretched after the next day. But the family themselves are very likable and fun, the father looks more like a kindly grandfather, but really is quite intelligent and pleasant. I would have trouble with the clean thing and I'd miss my iPod
