    Er.. um.. yeah.. :) You know she has a Puerto Rican mother and an Irish father. But, if she came from Mars and had hairy legs, I would still love her outspoken feisty nature.
    Maybe I'm just a knuckle dragging ape-man? LOL

    Ah, I see. Yes, he was a bit disrespectful there. He thinks he is being funny sometimes when he is over the line... I like Kimberly just the way she is. Please don't ruin it for me. :)

    He gets the one part and completely ruins it by the discrediting remark of "dork" and they all agreed. I think Kimberly dresses to distraction. Should I call her a tart?

    and then go to work for the equivalent of the latter-day 20th century motors... and do what they are told to do.

    It DOES divide and separate - it separates the thinking, rational mind from the sheeple.

    Hey... I've worn more comfortable railroad spikes than spike heels!! --lol--

    Everyone here, from our director on down, usually wears jeans and boots... Part of it is cultural to the area, but a large part of it is practical - if I showed up on the scene of a disaster (or better, gone out to the shop and lit off the forge) wearing a skirt suit, nylons, and pumps I'd not only get laughed off the scene, I'd look like I had no business being there or what I was doing (and would be a danger to myself and likely others). Sure, I've gotten dressed up for work - when it was appropriate (never bothered me at all), but there's a time and place. I'm just lucky I can usually avoid most of those times and places now!

    One thing I've never played party to (and even less now) is the "Oh gee, what if So-and-so Muckymuck doesn't like what I'm wearing?" nonsense. But then again, I also know not to dress like my daughter when she was 15.

    Someone is serially down voting you, so I'm going to give a point back just because I really dislike people frequently. Have the balls to admit you are down voting and why.

    You make good points...and being one who has never had any appreciation for fashion, because I've always deemed it a waste of time (and can't find anyone else on the planet who thinks the same way about this as I do...anyway)... I agree with what you're saying.... BUT, Greg seems to be the only one to call out people (on twitter) who focused on the wrong thing, his shirt, and not his accomplishments. I love his last line about "140 characters have replaced their own". Whatever definition 'dork' has in his monologue, I took it to mean that he doesn't care about fashion... and that's a compliment (cuz he has better things to think about). This from a person who does her best thinking in her flannel pajamas.. :)

    I didn't vote you down. I'm giving you back a point. Yes, in general style over substance rules unfortunately. Many people are much for interested in how you look and who you are with than what you think or accomplish. I saw a segment on the news yesterday about an a guy TV anchor who wore the same suit at work for 1 year to see if anyone noticed. They did not. If he had been a women they would have.

    Some teachers dress like a fashion show is happening.. I think they must spend all their paychecks on shoes, it's like a high heel competition. Hallways are not runways!!

    Hello khalling,
    I have no idea why you are being down-voted. However, I am not sure I understand this comment. I saw Gutfeld on this show the other day and he was in my mind castigating those that were critical of the man's attire and supportive of his accomplishments. Am I misreading what I thought was his usual sarcastic acerbic dialogue?
    Regards,
    O.A.

    I don't like how he said (and then everyone else agreed) that rocket scientists are dorks. It's one of those stereotypes that discredit scientists-like somehow they can't help themselves. It's demeaning-but I'm not going on a twitter rant about it. they want to act as if his shirt is inappropriate for the venue but seeing down Kimberley Gilfoille's dress to south america is perfectly appropriate on a news set. or-watching football commentators-why do they all have suits on? why? to give their opinions validity? why can't they just be in nice polo shirts? we need to pay attention to what people are doing and what comes out of their mouths.

    hardly any CEO in silicon Valley dresses like one (suit and tie). In fact-all this suit wearing, pantyhose donning is ridiculous clothing. high heels-you may like the style but the shoes are as impractical as strapping on railroad spikes

    because these nut jobs are being produced by state run schools and then socialist universities, it looks more and more like a bunch of unwitting fools carry out alot of the work for them. divide us into so many disparate groups we can't agree with anyone and we can be accused of anything

    One, like in business, you are judged by your appearance. If you don't look like a CEO, then likely, you won't be mistnek for one, nor trusted with said opportunities.

    Two, welcome to the world experienced by a woman in the professional world - a man will be judged on what he's accomplished, a woman, on what she wore to the board meeting - even IF she has the company-saving solution to the crisis, the board will pay less attention to her ideas (or one of the men will parrot them and get credit for it) , because they are more interested in (a) how much cleavage is she showing, (b) does she look/sound demanding/prissy/slutty, (c) Why is/isn't she wearing a skirt/slacks/etc...

    Heard the phrase "Walk a mile in her shoes?" I bet you thought of pumps when I said that, not what the saying really meant. :-)
