No Shoes This Year

We're mid crits right now. I'll post some pictures here later. We're not doing the shoe thing, but if we were these would have made today's cut.

Nice kicks.

Fall 09 Semester Reviews Shoe Contest

We've had a one year hiatus, but now the shoe competition is back. I decided this time that I would hold back the photos until the end for one big post - so here it is.

Unfortunately I left the index of who's feet each shoe is on back in my office at work, so for the time being we vote without names. All in all its probably more shoe-centric that way anyway. If you recognize the wearer you can always put it in the comments.

And so, without further delay, here are this years competitors:

#1 - nice splash of yellow

#2 - might really be about hosiery, but the two tone is nice

#3 - nice ribbon detail

#4 - sophisticated grey suede

#5 - these have been on the blog before, but not in a contest

#6 - very nice color

#7 - interesting cut out detail

#8 - Pointy

Let the voting begin. The winner will get a TANBI T-Shirt. Polling will be open for a week.

Vote Here!

Before and After

Just bought a new pair of shoes. It took a second but I realized I'd picked out exactly the same shoes as the last time. So we have an opportunity for a "Before & After" pic. I think I bought the last pair in May, so this is every day for 6 or 7 months. Not sure if they ought to hold up better than this.

By Popular Demand

To quench an almost insurmountable shoe thirst, TANBI stringer Ken Chu submits the following from Friday's crit session:


I kept my eyes out for shoes and saw some good stuff, but had to send you a photo of this one just because I thought it was so unique. It was worn by Kelly Le Vine.

Semester Reviews - Day Three

Day three; I am going to keep up so I don't forget who's shoes I am looking at.

Morning Session:

This was a session fairly lightly loaded with PTM students. The random this has come up with some odd groupings this year.

First up, Alana...

... apparently I nuked out an entire speech by getting caught up.

And then Julianna...

... she segregated work from my classes to the right side of her board.

Monday morning shoe winner:

Alana

Afternoon session:

The luck of the draw gave us a session with only one woman (really cut down the shoe suspense) and no costume students at all. I guess maybe I will have to skew the random for balance in the future.

We begin with Bryan...

... who I compared to a glass on the edge of a table. It made sense at the time.

Then we have Eric...

... who I said doesn't talk enough, but Dick says I am wrong.

And then Ryan...

... S-O-L-E-N-O-I-D, OK?

Afternoon shoe winner:

Laura
(in a sort of forfeit)

Just the one morning and then Thesis presentations remain.

Fall 2007 Semester Review Shoe Winner

So I go checking back, and I knew I hadn't done the shirt yet, but it turns out there was never even a post. Oops. So, last semester's winner is:

Alana

Alana gets 19 votes, followed by 8 for Laura, and then a three way tie at 7 for Chapel, Naomi, and Jessika. Alana will get her one of a kind TANBI T-Shirt tomorrow. Congrats to her and to all of this past semester's entries!

Thursday and Friday Semester Reviews

I've fallen behind. I swear I have not been this out of gas at this point of the year since starting this gig. But, I guess it is only fair that I should be as wrecked as the students.

Thursday AM Session:

During this session I told a student that their road to success lay through relaxing their bowels. People pay a lot of money for this kind of advice. Sometimes I wonder why.

So here's Derek...

... he's my Entertainment Engineering student. Take that UNLV.

Next comes Chapel...

... her dad is apparently a chicken champion or something.

Next we have Katie...

... who found some time for Scene Painting.

And then we have Rico...

... who will be back to Williamstown.

Then we have Rebecca...

... and Susan's back.

Thursday AM Shoe winner:

Rebecca

Thursday PM Session:

In this session, Anne asked a student: "What's your number one priority?" I explained to those close by in a hushed voice that my #1 priority is to not get any on the seat, and that we didn't even want to talk about my #2 priority, and then after a second that actually my #2 priority was also not to get any on the seat.

We begin with Alex...


... who will follow Kevin and I to Hudson (Don't eat QPC's off the roach coach).

And then 452...

... she thinks she has to get more comfortable turning in work late.

We wrap up with Yi-Lin...

... who explained that if I were to drop her from the program she expects me to cover the plane ticket home - business class.

Thursday PM shoe winner:

Naomi

Friday AM Session:

I don't have anything clever to say about this session. I was almost late because of traffic (ok because I could not get out of bed). The work lights were on. I like it better that way.

We have Harriet...

... with a collection of nicely matted paperwork. She can't control the weather.

And then Maddie...

... who apparently just finished the "semester of binders."

Our Ms. Boyce...

... really that looks a little casual, yes?

Friday AM shoe winner:

Harriet

Friday PM Session:

Narelle didn't see any of these people.

The afternoon begins with Aaron...

... who finally got his legs under him.

Next we have Jeannie:

... that's a working oleo model, very nice.

And the week winds up with Varsenik...

... who had a really tough semester, but managed a smile at the end.

Friday PM shoe winner:

Jeannie

Four sessions down, five to go. Woohoo.
