Did you see the hand models on CBS this a.m.?

18 years ago

The first one leads a bizarre life, IMO. To protect her hands and their flawless appearance, she does nothing with them. No housework, no cooking, no gardening, no bedmaking, no opening windows, no opening doors. Her husband does all the chores, and her daughter buckles her shoes for her.

She wears gloves all day every day (she has over 500 pair), often holding her hands up to keep the blood from entering them. (Will her hands fall off from lack of circulation some day?) She permitted the interviewer to touch her hand only very gently, with a fingertip. She said her hand was the softest she would ever feel. What a claim to fame. I thought we'd left the Victorian era.

I'm thinking that someday her hands are going to look old like everyone else's. With her strange circulation maybe she won't get those pop-up veins, but her skin will thin. If she then runs out of lucrative assignments, will her DH announce that it's time for her to take over the cooking and cleaning and gardening? I'd like to see what happens at that point.

I saw that. It was also aired sometime ago. Really, do you notice the condition of hands in an ad? Now if the nails were ragged or dirty maybe I would. Otherwise, I am just seeing the product advertised. I can't imagine what kind of life that "never do anything" hand model would have. I think she would also have a very serious personality flaw.

She is actually being paid for losing the use of her hands.

" Was this a parody, as in the link golddust posted, is MC the voice of a generation ? " I honestly don't think that much thought went into it. I think it makes more sense that miley is trying to shed her good girl image just like britney and christina A did. from the link:" The thing is, Miley failed so spectacularly that it's almost easier to believe she screwed it up on purpose than to accept that she really thought she was being hot." she does the same things in her music videos, the tongue forever hanging out, the leotards, the hip hop gestures etc all designed to be cool and sexy. she wants to be perceived as a bad girl If MC wanted to save her image then she would tell everyone it was a parody, but that's not coming from her, it's coming from another source that hopes this is a parody. But, that don't make it so..... This post was edited by trancegemini_wa on Thu, Aug 29, 13 at 8:17

Dog wakes to go out at 4:30 a.m.
Q
Comments (9)
We had a similar thing happen when we adopted a dog. The foster used to get up at 5 every morning and walk/feed her dogs. Well we don't get up THAT early! So you have to do it slowly. It won't happen overnight! First thing we would do is not just let our new boy out but walk him around at the desired night pee time and make sure everything happens. He wasn't going poo at night so we would wake up and find poo on the rug. His body was used to doing this early in the morning and when you have to go you have to go! So, I would walk him at 10 pm every night and make sure he did everything. In your case, you would do this at 11. Then for the first week or so we woke up when he wanted, then after that we figured he was fine and was just hungry and complaining, so we would ignore him for like 20 min. he would roam around and come up to the bed and complain and we would "pretend" to be sleeping. We could tell he didn't have to go outside, but was just hungry. If he really had to go outside then we would get up. Eventually he got bored of bothering us and would go back to his bed. So we kept sleeping in a little longer each week and eventually he got used to the schedule. Now he could sleep till 9 if we didn't wake him up to go out and eat! Just think of jet lag or when you go on vacation and come home. Your body takes a little while to adjust (when you need to go and when you are hungry and tired) so they are the same way! It takes a little time to get your body to realize "hey, I need to go at this time now!" I am sure other people have suggestions also. This is just how we did it. -renee

C&B Colette Bed replica?
Q
Comments (7)
hi diva...well, i actually went ahead and ordered the 'clone'...with the free shipping and 15% discount at overstock, the bed is under $600 (compared to $1799, plus tax, delivery, which would put it closer to $1900) more budget for new bedcoverings and linens (yay!) i figured for the price differential it was worth the risk..i can always send it back if i hate it... yes, i looked all of the beds at C&B and i kept coming back to the collette because of the elevation off the floor....the bedroom is relatively small, 12x14, with hardwood floors and i wanted something that would expand the floor visually.. i'll be sure to post about the clone either good or bad...it won't be delivered until dec. 27

New peach trees for Texas released by Texas A&M
Q
Comments (20)
I ordered from Vaughn nursery last year. Out of 10 trees 9 leafed out and grew. The trees were smaller but after shipping cost about $10 to 12 a tree. They have a limited supply this year due to crop failure. Shipping is about $30. I also ordered this year from Legg Creek Farm but have not received order yet. They are from Texas. Higher cost but good reputation is Just Fruits and Exotics in Florida and Bay Laurel in California. Chestnut Hills tree farm also seems to be a good place for about $20 a tree plus $20 postage total. I have a La Feliciana peach that has done well that you can find in most places that sell fruit trees. I always check at http://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/ to check on the online companies. Be careful about zones because a zone covers alot of area. Chill hours are a better reference but says nothing about disease resistance. I try to get trees from Texas A&M, LSU, and Florida since they have similar disease pressure. I get a range of chill hours between 350 to 750 chill hours. I also have some with 100 to 200 but they are in pots and I can bring them under the carport if there is some late frost.

Ha! That's a good way to put it, Jane.

Gazania, I agree about the personality flaw. In fact, I thought it was pretty evident just observing her. It's all about money, isn't it? She practically glowed when she spoke of how much she's paid.

She has at least one child . . . I wonder if she handled her baby?

I read somewhere a long time ago that you too can have hands like that (at least for a little while) by holding them up in the ari for a while.(like in "stick 'em up" Try it and look before and after

i didn't see that. I can understand that she wouldn't want to do any heavy work where her hands could get scratched, etc. But I don't see how they could get damaged making beds or putting on her shoes. Besides, the art dept. will Photoshop over any problems.

PhotoshopÂof course! I don't know why I didn't think of that. They give celebrities and models plastic-looking faces all the time these days, why not plastic hands?

I didn't see them this time but have watched them on either an earlier broadcast or on another show. If they were my hands and brought in that kind of $$, you can bet I wouldn't do a darn thing, either!

I know that trick of holding your hands up over your head to make the blood flow out. My hands are so veiny, they look awful. And I could never be a hand model, I'm a nail=-biter. And if I'm not biting my nails, I bite the cuticles!

The first thing that popped into my head was, they don't need models like that anymore with Photoshop. Insane!

I saw it today and had seen it before. She obviously considers herself a diva. Then they had another hand model who is single and lives alone and does not wear gloves.

Soooo...what did their faces look like....

They could have the most beautiful hands in the world and have a face that looks like a horses butt....

I'd rather have ugly hands...and no money.

I saw that and thought it was rediculous....I just couldn't live like that. I have to use my hands....what a boring life! Ditto Patti.....I can't see how they'd enjoy the money living like she did!

"I think she would also have a very serious personality flaw."

I saw it this morning and the first thing that came to my mind about Ellen, the very strange hamd model, was, "Geez, she is waaay weird LOL." I could not imagine how she exists on a daily basis. Her DH must be a saint....or a sinner.

Discliamer: If you're easily embarassed, please excuse my next few sentences ~
One of my DH's first comments was something to the effect of, "She obviously doesn't "touch" her husband, or enjoy "pleasing" him. He probably has a mistress." ;o)

Patti, I thought their faces were pretty, not stunningÂalthough I suspect if you asked Ellen, the "untouchable" one, she'd tell you her face was just as perfect as her hands.

LOL Mrsmarv, leave it to a man to think of that little detail. (I mean "little" only figurtively, of course.) :-)

I'll bet it's true about her, though.

I saw her on another tv show. I feel sorry for her to lead such a weird life. Nothing is worth that. But she did seem quite odd to me. I got the feeling she prefers being the odd or unique person. What an unhappy life!
