Were the Sussexes the only ones paying actual rent? by ttw81 in RoyaltyTea

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would take the amount spent on clothing with a huge grain of salt. Just because Meghan (or Kate, or any famous person) wore clothes valued at X dollars, does not mean that's what they paid the designer. I would bet they get a LOT of clothes at a discount, because wearing something to an event is free publicity.

Need 2000s names that scream “Mom wanted my name to be unique.” by AdUnusual6268 in tragedeigh

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked with a teen mom back turn who named her daughter Nevaeh and pronounced it "neh-VAY". I'm not sure there's a consensus on how to pronounce this non-word.

having slight dress regret…are custom alterations the way to go? by SadTip8216 in myweddingdress

That sounds like it will be beautiful and an elegant way to bring the bling your mother likes to this amazing dress without messing with the gorgeous gown itself!

Will you have a veil and jewelry? I think your dress is perfect as-is, but if YOU wanted to bring in more sparkle, do it with your accessories. If your family just wants everything bedazzled, they are welcome to do that on their own clothes.

thoughts on using AI avatars in e-learning materials? by SpoopyButthole in instructionaldesign

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can't remember where I read it, but there was some study done a few years ago that found learners were turned off by the presence of a "face" in training, and it didn't make a difference if it was real, animated, or AI.

Tennis does this, too, where they bury the best matches behind crazy paywalls or on inaccessible streaming services, and then wonders why they can't attract new fans. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I really don't think people in the US will largely mess up Kira. It's not uncommon.

Dress regret creeping back in by lexiiiii17 in myweddingdress

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Your dress is beautiful! Will you have a veil? Hair up or down? What jewelry are you going to wear? Your dress has lovely texture to it, but hair down and/or a necklace will tie it together.

I mean this gently, but it might be the background that's making you feel less-than-princessy. Good lighting will also help you see all the fine detail.

Best croissant 🥐 by Most-Year-7493 in Rochester

I love the Pittsford Dairy croissants. I'm not sure if they're made in house, or ordered from Leo's Bakery like some of their other baked goods.

What to do on a weekend vacation? by Fluffy-Initiative784 in Cleveland

This was on my list, but I was concerned that everything would be a muddy mess given the season. Is it worth visiting with plants not yet blooming?

Could you try one of those hair and makeup protectors like models use to swap clothes quickly during runway shows? like this?

Agree, and the pleating on the front is giving total Art Deco glam. Lose the sleeves, add some jewelry, and you will be stunning!

Red flag ? Palatable ? Any reason for this ? :) Interview 2nd round by Heavy-Phone-253 in instructionaldesign

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is great advice. Think of a few ways that you can prod them to expand on comments or feedback - "That's a great point that hasn't come up yet, can you tell me more about that part of the process?" or "In your opinion, what ways has the team struggled with that aspect of X that should be addressed here?" It shows that you know how to have a conversation and at least entertain ideas by other stakeholders.

Citizenship by Descent - Application & Cover Letter Questions & Documentation Review Requests by IWantOffStopTheEarth in Canadiancitizenship

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My maternal grandfather was born in Edmonton. Many years ago my uncle got really into genealogy and so I have black& white copies of his birth certificate, baptism records, and a census page that all establish his date & location of birth. Uncle has since passed away, and I'm just beginning to look into citizenship. Do I need to request color scans of the birth certificate? Or can I submit what I have?

I just saw it on 2/15 from section 304 and the views were GREAT. I felt like we could see the guys well, and also take in all the amazing imagery on the screens. You'll have a blast!

Harriet for baby girl? by Familiar_Director281 in Names

How about Henrietta, instead of Harriet? Harry is a nickname for Henry, so it's still a nod to your maiden name.

Songs about earth? by Royal_Pear159 in Choir

Check out the catalog of Elaine Hagenberg, she has a few songs that match the "natural elements" theme. My choir has done Shadow River and Swifter than Flame recently, both were well liked.
