ReLo'd to BA from SD

in late 2006, relocated my angst, business, and social life to NoCal from SoCal ... just a 40-something chick in the 'burbs of the SF bay area who randomly posts about random topics ... the occasional quirky stories of dating (or not) at 40-ish, work-week cubeopolis frivolity, rambling musings on nostalgika, and the occasional introspective moments in life.(thanks for visiting! >p, b)

pr5air: epi10 - VIDEO REMINDERS & POINTS

Bookmark and Share

pr5air peeps ... just a quick reminder to pick your winner/loser and to keep your original adjusted final 3 or go for a new 3. (points system stuff over here) the preview videos, just in case (a) you want to change your final 3 or (b) you want to change your winner and loser combination.

remaining designers? ... | jerrel scott | joe faris | kenley collins | korto momolu | leanne marshall | suede |





pr5air peeps picks to date & administrative items alert ... here is the update of picks to date. if your name is not shaded in maroon - PICK (please)! ANY LAST MINUTE picks MUST BE SUBMITTED either via off-cubeopolis e-mail or via a blog post comment.
  • karaoke k ... we have a new player, escorted by shades. karaoke k, who is an alumnus of prw-air. karaoke k served as the creative director and screenwriter of the AIR-2007 holiday skit. to accommodate our alum and show our appreciation (again) for her holiday skit contribution, we have granted her the average of the pr5air scores going in to epi10 - i.e., all 13 scores rounded to the quarter number. for now, it is 7.21, therefore karaoke k starting score = 7.00; however, adjustments will be made after the remaining pr5air-ers submit their picks and just before epi10 starts.

  • tree ... tree has been retired in place at 4.50 points. however, negotiations are in place with pr5air-die-hard-virtual-player jenm about aggregating tree's score with jenm's current score.

  • jenm, aka pr5air-die-hard-virtual-player ... at 4.00, die-hard-virtual-player and gift-bestower also has served as the east-coast-show results-reporter. the "committee" is considering
    • (a) whether to grant this adjustment,
    • (b) whether to ask l.a.g. if she wants to "team" with jenm, and/or
    • (c) whether i want a vanilla cream puff, scoop of b&j's chocolate therapy, or a scoop of double rainbow's ultra chocolate.
select well, pr5air peeps.

pr5air: epi9 - REMINDER picks & point system

Bookmark and Share

REMINDER VIDEOS
- while i'm outta cubeopolis for the day ...
pr5air peeps gotta PICK THEIR PICKS!!!
over here for yesterday's reminder

(and don't forget that TWO designers go home)


and here is the video clip with insults (and what appears to be that designers work in teams)



so if there are actually teams ... we are back to a point system that has a variety of possible extra points: traditional, bonus, extra bonus, and groping. starting off with the traditional ...
  • 3 points [=] predict correct winner **AND** loser
  • 1 point [=] predict correct winner **ONLY**
  • 1 point [=] predict correct loser **ONLY**
  • 2 points (BONUS) [=] **ALL 3** of your "final 3" are still standing. in other words, you do not have the loser in your "practice picks"
  • 0.50 point (EXTRA BONUS)[=] your +1 is still standing.
  • 1.00 point (GROPING) [=] predict the team members of each of the winning **AND** losing pairs
  • 0.50 point (GROPING) [=] predict the team member of the winning pair
  • 0.50 point (GROPING) [=] predict the team member of the losing pair
so total possible points? POSSIBLE MAXIMUM of 5.50 points. and again ...

just cut/paste ... the following when you make your selections:
  • WINNER: __________
  • WONDER-TWIN LOSER #1: __________
  • WONDER-TWIN LOSER #2: __________
  • FINALIST 1: __________
  • FINALIST 2: __________
  • FINALIST 3: __________
  • BONUS FINALIST: __________
HURRY UP & PICK!!!
and don't let the door hit you in your
bad ass mutha f...

(look for this in one of the above videos)

pr5air: epi7 - PICK(!)

Bookmark and Share

here is the score card going into episode 7 ...
current points & other admin stuff...
  • 4 points for: t&c, shades, tree, ponytail
  • 3 points for: wcdbunny, sactofloyd
  • 2.5 points for: su/sd
  • 2 points for: l.a.g., fashionista, commish, jenm
  • 1 point for: buzz
  • 0.5 (or 1/2) each for: cobra kai
  • admin stuff: epi7 "bonus points" opportunity will be posted tomorrow.
    • tree (one of the leaders) is out for the next 4 weeks (so she will return in time for epi11 (grrrr!), but i digress). her 3 practice picks will remain her final picks. commish & wcdbunny will pick her heads during her absence.)
episode 7 described on bravo's site as:
Fashion that Drives You
Fashion doesn't always have to be conventional. The remaining designers get revved up for their materials in this challenge.
Guest Judge: Rachel Zoe
(she, TOO, has a reality tv show - OOPS! i mean a "DOCU-DRAMA" ... that's how bravoTV describes "the rachel zoe project" - so the formula is ... name the show after the person, and it is a reality tv show docu-drama. NOTE to self: is there enough docu-drama for a season 2?)


o.k. ... enough of the nails-on-chalkboard-chew-on-aluminum-foil voices! back to pr5air.

your predictions?

... with SOME room for negotiating submittal time
(ask nicely or in sign language)

  • SELECTIONS DUE before: Wednesday, August 20 @
    • Californians - 2:30 pm (pacific)
    • Maryland, Vermont - 5:30 pm (eastern)
  • GET THEM TO ME via:
    • blog comment
    • other e-mail (make sure i confirm)
    • IM me (make sure i confirm)
    • text (for those who have the secret digits)
so what else do i know about rachel zoe? ... only that she is a designer and out-fitted size zero-ish chicas. that said, i figured i'd consult one of the most fun sites - go fug yourself. so here are some links to the pics with the witty banter/perspectives from the fun folks at fug!
  • the rachel zoe fug - quote at the end of post ... "sure, rachel. we'll just pixelate your whole body."
  • fucghel zoe - quote at the end of post ... "I mean, am I crazy, or do I spy a thigh? That might actually frighten me more than the prospect of her making steak tartare out of my face."
  • well played: rachel zoe - quote near beginning of post ... "However, never let it be said that we don't give credit where it is due. I think Zoe looks totally fabby in this."
  • ama nonfug carpet: well played, nicole richie - just go on ahead and read the post about the couple-of-years-ago firing of zoe by richie.
and here is bravoTV's r.zoe preview


now get on with your epi7-picks!
