Know a DC damsel in fashion distress? If so, she's in luck because
Clinton Kelly, Stacy London and the fine folks from TLC's "What Not to
Wear" are filming four episodes in Washington...but they need your help
to find these lucky fashion victims.
If you know a style-challenged individual in need of a serious
intervention, contact casting producer and friend of FishbowlDC Michael
Petrella with the info requested after the jump.
Ha I was thinking this morning "What if WNTW is following me with the hidden cameras?!" I was a mess as I so often am on my way to work.

Lucky? If anyone did that to me, I would kill them. On camera. Dressed *fabulously*.
That sounds good, Spidra. I hope it helps.
Although I doubt that anyone would call me an introvert, I actually have a lot of introverted tendencies
I test as an introvert on Myers-Briggs, and I seriously need alone time (I put most of my increased anxiety recently down to not having enough space - when we move, The Girl and I will have a study each, and it can't happen fast enough). But I can do socialising under the right conditions, and I miss seeing people after a while alone.
ITA on the interruptions, Tep. Being interrupted will likely lead to me dropping out of the conversation entirely, figuring my input is just not needed and I can probably stop listening, as well.
The stuff about the internal responses doesn't fit my experience, but I have developed a coping mechanism of concentrating very hard on listening to what whoever else is talking to me is saying and not formulating a response or thinking about how I feel about what they are saying, etc. This leads to (a) long lag times before I can make a response, as I have to start thinking about my response only after the other person stops talking and (b) people thinking I agree with them because my look of concentration apparently also looks like "you are so right, please go on".
Hrumph. Read article, still seeking revenge.
Grrr. On the phone with new insurance company. New mail order pharmacy does not carry the generic I need. The other generic, which they do carry doesn't work (three months of cramping and blood clots are pretty good evidence in my book). So, the only way to solve my problem is to either pay $12 every month and haul my ass down to CVS where there is no parking, or take an extra visit to my doctor so that he can write me a perscription for something else. Is it just me, or shouldn't there be another way to deal with this?
My immediate family are fierce interruptors. So heated discussions get louder and louder as everyone tries to talk over everyone else, never mind no one can hear shit.
It's made me really conscious of doing it to other people (I think), because I know we seem like a pack of wolves to outsiders.
Introverts in our family are not like introverts elsewhere. My parents still think I'm shy enough to warrant intervention.
