Hayden Panettiere's dress seems...well, she's just so cheerful. I think that alone should get her off a worst-dressed list. It's a horrible dress, though.
A lot of drapey stuff, which means you have to be uberthin, because the slightest bit of actual flesh is magnified by the satin cling.
Was that a peekaboo hole in the dress of the woman playing Calli from Grey's Anatomy? Naughty woman.
That guy from The Office (shut up--it's early and I have a cold and no brain) needed to do more than just wear a suit. He looks so terribly normal.
I was talking to the guy I plan to hide behind at this November wedding (he's going to be a groomsman, I just know it--totally fucking with my hiding plan), and he may buy a new tie for the wedding. He has the one suit, and the one sort of shirt, so the tie is the only place he gets to (and cares to) do anything interesting.
So. Not. My. World. I keep remembering more dresses I've never worn.
Happy Birthday, Lee!!
And Phoenix!
I do not like Heidi Klum's lipstick/dress combo. Or Marcia Cross' dress.
Now that I've looked at most of the photos in the bigger group, I have to ask... who is the photographer? Many of those pictures are not flattering. Regardless of outfit, most of those people could look much better.
When I had to motivate smart/uninvolved kids, I would play on that very attitude. I'd pull them aside and talk with them "We both know this is boring. We both know you won't need it (even if I thojght they would need it). However, if you do the work, you'll get a good grade, which will make all kinds of other things easier for you. Less nagging from me, for one thing." If the underacheiver was a warm-hearted kid, I might make them a mentor. "You will never need this stuff, but there are kids in the class who will, and I need you to keep your dislike hidden, because you will have an effect on whethjer THEY do the work."
Happy Birthday, Lee!
Congrats on winning the karaoke contest, lisah!
I got nothin' on motivating students from a personal perspective, but I know that my nephew is hoping to avoid having to take any finals this year by getting all As. If that motivates him, yay for bribing!
Congrats on winning the karaoke contest, lisah!
thank you!
I kind of liked Vanessa Williams' feathery dress. It's not something I would have picked for myself but it was fun. Except that it did not fit her well in the bust.
Marcia Cross's dress was way too busy. Jamie Lynn Sigler's dress had random extra stuff on it, and if memory serves Whatsername Bracco's dress looked like it had growths. I prefer fanciness in the form of drape and pleats, myself.
It's not strictly applicable, but I find in my music teaching that a little bit of eyerolling goes a long way. I try to make it where they're in on a joke with me, where they're just playing along with me and doing the work because it's funny and so much more sophisticated than those other kids who are just doing the work normally. They are doing the work as a subversive jab at the ridiculousness of society's requirements.
They'll probably own their own companies, or be freelance consultants, or fix cars.
As someone who has his own company, I'll say with a pretty reasonable degree of authority that it is even more critical that they have really good communication and organization skills. At the beginning you get to do it all yourself, and you'll be directly responsible for every screw-up and success. I may have two art degrees, but I have to understand business, taxes, insurance, writing, etc. etc. etc.
