Maybe even better than "bright shiny things syndrome," but maybe they're two sides of the same coin, eh? "Brighty shiny things" —LOL. (Maybe you've coined a new phrase!) My hands sometimes go faster than the mental spell-check, too. Thanks for your thoughts. Regards, Kelly Rosie,

'Brighty shiny syndrome' hits the nail on the head. I don't think it is sexism as you say as I think the same thing would happen if someone else went in. As for not being in a position to make the assertion about gender because I don't know these men, I don't have to know them, my comment was based on years of experience working with both sexes and finding the same sort of results that Kelly found in this instance. It's a general observation. I also agree with the point that not everyone is au fait with blogs yet. Ooooogh....and I have had so many conversations with my male friends that are just like the one James wrote as a joke....only their not joking.

Brett, I forgot about those shoes. Yeah, I wore those with my suit, and the first ten places I walked in called the police. :) Mark, *blushes* Aw, thanks. Later, Kelly Ha!

They are very very bright. I for one would have done what I said I was going to do. If an attractive lady wants to sit down with me and talk about anything at all... With Momma's permission I would gladly do it.:) I have put my sunglasses on to read the comments. They are very very bright. I for one would have done what I said I was going to do.

(For a sec.) Do you think that's the answer? That they couldn't make an appointment with me standing in front of them... then couldn't call when they said they would... then couldn't respond to an email, due to bright shiny syndrome? If so, how did they all become successful enough with vendors, clients, and colleagues, that they might have made interesting interview subjects? Lordy, don't say Seat of the Pants.

Not too "creative," definitely not frumpy, not too loud, not too soft. I learned long ago to match the clothing to the occasion without being too obvious. I don't just talk the talk around here, I walk the walk... The black pumps are stylin' but not Manolos or anything, just classics. With, I kid you not, a hole in the bottom of one. So in addition to everything else, they are now dead. Who says blogging is low-cost? Until not much later... Brett,
