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...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
