August 26, 201014 yr If you know the girl/boy imitator is German (i assume you know who it is!) why cant they just close the imposer account and leave her be in piece !?It just isn't that simple..the real person has to go through all kinds of b.s. to prove who they are and then get their account verified and it takes a long, long time and lots of messages back and forth. It's a pain in the butt! They have to do all this to prove who they are and in the meantime, the person who is being a jerk/nutcase goes along his/her merry way! It's ridiculous! some of the imitators have been called out but not all...there are a couple dweebs left and then, more will pop up. but they will get caught....same thing goes on with Bar and a whole bunch more people.....Ale really has a lot of them. In Tori's case, there are more than just the German person, too.
September 1, 201014 yr Some cute candids Looks very lean and with zero fat on that body of hers!! Gawd, Tori looks so powerful in that first pic! Thanks for the candids, SnL! I just saved the thumbnail of the first pic below on my desktop to post here as my latest fave Tori pic. I had to live chat first, however, with a Norton Virus customer rep (of course, based in India ). He ended up having to go into my laptop. I forgot Tori's pic was on the desktop, and he said, "The girl holding the hangers looks cute." I couldn't disagree. :p I thought it that it was interesting that when Tori was showing her fun side, he still saw her sweet side. He had to be totally unbiased because he had no idea who Tori was and didn't ask. That made it an even more sincere, objective observation and not flattery. Some day, Tori will be known recognized worldwide if she wants to be! I thought I would add another fun fave pic to show Tori has been fun and sweet with abs of titanium for at least as long as she has had pix on these pages. Tori as the. . . Consummate Professional Swimsuit Designer: and Tori as the. . . Consummate Professional Swimsuit Model: . . . but always the Consummate Cutie! Good luck to all transitioning from summer to fall, from home to school, or apt to apt, etc. (Boston is clogged with moving trucks!)
September 2, 201014 yr My seatmate on the plane was through with a fashion catalog (after she very weirdly snapped photos of some of the girls instead of keeping the catalog, wth?????) and offered it to me. So I thanked her in my sweetest manor and settled in to look at a very fat fashion catalog. Much to my amazement, I found some great Tori pix! There were also some great pics of another particular girl but I'm so fed up with her forum now overrun by 3rd graders, I think, <_< that I can't make myself scan them and post them. I'm trying to go to tinypic to upload Tori's but they are down for maintenance or some dumb thing so, I'll have some very cool stuff coming as soon as I get a chance......hope it isn't after the Labor Day weekend 'cuz I won't be around...but when I can I will..
September 3, 201014 yr Now that was a great head's up, SnL! I always think how Tori's especially "wide" shoulders and strong core and narrow waist help give tops and dresses such a great silhouette and help clothes drape beautifully on her These huge, Peter Hahn pics, however, remind me of the obvious: how looooooooooooooong Tori's legs are and how amazing she looks in any type of pants. Thanks for a great Labor Day present!
September 7, 201014 yr Hope Tori and her fans found some R and R this weekend or out did themselves so they are dragging at work tomorrow! Play hard. Work. . . Play Hard. Rest at work. Just remember it's a short week. :p I know el jefe was more than thorough about posting Tori's latest Gorsuch pics in HQ. I still genuflect to him for that. Still, Gorsuch keeps emailing them daily and helps keep Tori in the front of my head. After SnL's ginormous pics of Tori in Peter Hahn's Catalogues, of course it's tough to match a larger-than-life Tori. But these to pics came in from Gorsuch with a 60F temp last night in Boston. All the colleges and universities have swelled the city and students are sporting the latest fall gear from cotton hoodies to wool suits for internships. Soon the leaves will be a changin' and the apple pickers will be a pluckin'. . . and our Tori will be ready for fall with the coziest of cozy clothes. One of my fall faves because it embodies Tori's simple grace, style, strength, and beauty in a relaxed but strong movement: That's why it has been my avi for a while. Not that you asked! This one shows Tori so cute and Kashmiri Kozy, it is irresistable: Hell, the Kashmir turtle or cowl neck looks so heavenly on her, I'd venture near the heavens to the Kashmir mountains, find those hardy Kashmir goats, shear their underbellies and hand-knit some warm sweaters and shawls and blankets to keep our fave Hawaiian warm for another year of cold Northeast weather! SOME SEPTEMBER CALENDAR EVENTS AND THOUGHTS: There are some high holidays beginning and have started, including Ramadan and Rosh Hashanah. I hope we show tolerance regardless of which deities or god or goddess you worship. Given what college students have reported around the US after returning to campus, there is already tension about 9.11 remembrance day and the proposed mosque near the World Trade Center site. There could be a rough patch at 9.11.10 remembrance day. I have found it safest to look at the individual rather than the group to avoid generalizing/stereotyping. Easy for me to say. Gladly, the International Day of Peace follows quickly afterward on 21 September. Perhaps as the planet's reminder (no, I'm no tree hugger!) to keep our heads together, the autumnal equinox falls on 23 September, and the earth is about as balanced on its axis as it gets till spring. 12 hours of even Steven sunlight from North to South Pole. Let's hope we remain this balanced when judging friends, colleagues, religions, etc. I realize some tv shows and news shows do not help at all. I should apologize for preaching and straying from Tori Talk, and I do, but in my travels around the world, I have seen pop culture common to most countries and that includes fashion, music, movies, sports, etc. All the young kids and older kids can order anything from anywhere. When you see Levi's in so many countries, you could say this is another multi-national taking over the world. But I see it as a connecting point just as music and art connect people over the internet or in person. Fashion, then, just as it does promoting connections here on BZ, and its pop culture counterparts could be peacemakers worldwide if they help make connections and see each other as individual humans. Simplistic. Yup. But ya gotta start somewhere.
September 7, 201014 yr I love reading your treatises each and every time, Lancelot......very interesting writing and reading......captivate the audience, I always say Thanx! Here's my contribution today......a different look for Tori but I rather like it a lot!
September 8, 201014 yr Oh boy! The BZ police and babble monitors will do me in for sure for these empty posts I can't delete!
September 8, 201014 yr I love reading your treatises each and every time, Lancelot......very interesting writing and reading......captivate the audience, I always say Thanx!Here's my contribution today......a different look for Tori but I rather like it a lot! Thanks for being so polite, SnL! I know Tori's fans would prefer your Tori pics, each worth a gazillion words vs my babble! I might get kicked for this post. I must say, however, I was horrified to hear about that Gainesville, FL minister who is holding a Qu'ran burning on 9.11 (Fahrenheit 451 or Nazi Germany redux?), despite General Petraeus's begging him not to. Thanks to lightspeed internet communication, it apparently got around the world and has already angered many Muslims just what the General doesn't need to protect his troops. The minister didn't seem like a narcissistic televangelist trying to garner attention for himself. Rather, he said he simply was trying to make up for the Bible burning by Muslims among other things. The last I checked, the Old Testament, the Torah and the Qu'ran are all associated with the "Eye for an Eye. .." phrase. The real intention of the phrase is not literally taking exact retribution but taking equal value for the loss and giving forgiveness. Can you say Lost in Translation . . . or Interpretation? A familiar, secular example would be Frost's "A Road not Taken" that most people interpret as someone taking the path less traveled. But the end of the poem shows that Frost looks AS FAR AS he can down each path but CANNOT "discern" any difference. He knows that, as in life, he cannot go back in time but must make a decision, ANY decision from which there is also no going back an so upon navigating the paths of life and the choices it presents one with careful thought or simply tossing a coin. Similarly Eye for an Eye by itself or Turn the Other Cheek is as catchy and easy as saying in a senior yearbook quotation: "Thanks Mr/s. Smith for all you have done. Fave Poem: "Thanks to 'Road not Taken,' I have always taken the road less traveled. I'm outta here!" Frost says there is no road less traveled, but tell that to most readers of the poem and ask them to change their initial interpretation of it. Luckily, it is an influential poem but not worth shedding blood over. It is not one of the huge, varied religious tomes to which gazillions of people commit their entire lives and defend by the sword or convert by the sword as in the past. Every major religion has always actively tried to prosletyze save for Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Shinto. Everything comes down to interpretation and sometimes civil disagreement or violent conflicts come out of those disagreements or interpretations about a religious or secular text or a model's hairstyle. Every religious text has a gazillion interpretations. Instead of burning a Qu'ran for burning the Bible, the minister, whose congregation probably follows the New Testament, should encourage "turning the other cheek" or "doing unto others. . ." or "loving thine enemy" (also catchy but incomplete phrases) and not burn anything but take the higher road! Does the Gainesville FD give them a book-burning permit because of religious freedom when it hurts others? Freedom of speech? Common courtesy in all religions. Of course, there are plenty of contradictions in all religions and their principal texts and interpretations, the beauty of religion and perhaps its shortcoming when people cannot co-exist because they do not accept another religion or even a variation of its own (eg Catholic v. Protestant both Christian or Muslim Iraq v. Muslim Iran). Even Judaism, Christianity, and Islam "share" the same god or "root" but are famous for discriminating against each other. We need an inter-faith deity Trustee meeting in the heavenly conference room to decide our collective gooberish fate! Phew! Most important, I just hope people in the US do not copycat the Gainesville minister. I called a former Marine and model (fashion connection for BZ police) friend who grew up in Gainesville, and she said the city is conservative and essentially part of The Bible Belt, and it's not just 9.11 but the 1300-hundred-years old battle between Christianity and Islam, an interesting observation and probably forgotten. Also forgotten perhaps is that Islam has been more of the "aggressor" recently (in really superficial terms ) while Christianity has had its own aggressive eras from crusades, inquisitions, wars, and some would say missionary efforts, etc. Because the heavenly board meeting cannot be predicted, we can learn from the past in Aristophanes' LYSISTRATA, ancient Greek play in which Lysistrata convinces all the women to refuse sexual congress from their soldier husbands to bring the especially bloody Peloponnesian war to a screeching halt. Boys will boys and religion and war, often fought with the same god invoked by the different sides, have historically and unfortunately been controlled by us rather than a nice mix. But this is not a current events forum! Back to the Tormeistress. I absolutely love the pony tail that goes straight up or in a different direction than usual. It's sooo cute! It must remind me of field hockey and lacrosse players in . . . boarding school . . . college, and grad school, some of whom wore them that way. I have also always liked hair pulled back all the way because it seems all facial features are put on display for better or worse. Of course, with Tori's strong features, it doesn't matter, but as you said it is, SnL, wonderfully different and fun. I wondered if she would ever cutting some her trademark locks or coloring it black. I hate it when people compare people, but as an example only and sort of IMG Univ. classmate, Hilary Rhoda had either blonde hair or a blonde wig in one editorial a while ago. She was quite the chameleon, as a good model should be. Tori's Trademark Tresses: Tori's Chameleon Character: Hilary Rhoda, a Brunette, with Tori-like Tresses for Reference Only not Comparison: Can you believe one of the most feminine, strong, athletic, glam and sexy BZ models can look androgynous as well?! She has been so versatile for so long! As always, Tori BZ fans, appreciative of your patience with the verbosity but this issue is so current! And for my sake, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I will never babble on and wrassle ignorantly with the BZ site at this hour again!
September 8, 201014 yr Cinema Society with People StyleWatch & J. Crew screening of "The Romantics" at AMC Loews 19th Street East 6 theater on September 7, 2010 in New York City.
September 9, 201014 yr Boy, SnL, you are always so current! Tori, in a light color with her flawless, golden skin, and of course trademark goldielocks, looks as beautiful as ever. I was a bit worried about peeking at Tori's pages after last night's fiasco. Would the post be removed with a dire warning, etc.? Or would that be it for me at BZ? Would Tori have me banished if she saw it? Only time will tell! Well, I decided to face my fears and look and see about my fate. Just before, I did, I listened to an interview on NPR about a comedian, diagnosed with cancer and a prognosis of only a few months to live. Terry Gross, the interviewer, asked him if he prayed to a particular god or higher power. Eerily, given my religion babble only the night before, he said he prayed daily to every god, goddess, or deity he could think of to better his chances of living. He said, in his dire situation, you can't just pick one god to look for help. By implication, he was saying all deities were there for everybody. The cancer went into remission. Interestingly, he credited the use of "crystals" with healing him. Using all-encompassing prayer, crystals, and experimental medicines certainly increased his chances. In the end, he beat cancer and Howard Stern's macabre "death bet" against him but died in a car accident! Anyhoo. . . While you keep us grounded in Tori's present, I have searched her amazing past. Tori has been ahead of the latest revival of the fedora and always looks fetching in one or in any hat for that matter! Only some of Tori's Toppers: Tori does look amazing in any hat!
