RUNWAY RECAP
by Jill Montgomery
Well the 2010
Runway to the Fashionable 4 has come
to an end and what a huge success
the entire experience was! Bruiser
Flint winning another Head Coach
Title just goes to show that yes,
fashion does have its cycles and can
strike GOLD at anytime. As for
Assistant Coach Champion Bacari
Alexander, well what can I say; the
man can strut with the best. (And
suddenly I want a Mojito). Just a
few comments I would like to make.
First, a very big thank you to
Angela Lento for bringing me on
board this season, wow what an
honor. Angela, you are not only
beautiful, but a genius and yes I
will give you Giselle Buncheon hair!
There were some major upsets this
season, some major cry babies and
some of you in just plain need of
MAJOR fashion help! In the upset
category “Rico Suave” Final 4
finalist Carmen Marciariello- almost
pulling a Carmello Anthony like
upset and winning the title his
freshman year! Some words of advice
from the rookie:
“Always have at least 2 ties on the
road and NEVER the opposing teams
color. At the hotel get your shoes
shined, keep your step fresh AND
you’re helping out someone else.
Lastly wear lace up dress shoes, we
are soldiers now when we are Head
Coaches we can wear loafers!”
Looks like someone is DEFINITELY off
on the right foot. Probably the
biggest surprise was The “Duke of
Asbury”. I recently sat down with
the regal Tom Asbury for a lovely
lunch at The Lobster in Santa Monica
and although he didn’t say much, it
was profound:
“I was delighted that the Committee
finally recognized REAL style.
Having over 65 custom made suits in
my closet that cost more than the
car Greenberg drives definitely kept
me in the hunt. I applaude the
Committee and have no ill feelings
losing to a past champion like
Flint. He walks the Runway with
grace. Looking forward to next
season.”
As I sipped my Champagne and admired
his linen outfit only one work came
to mind: Classy. Finally, to play
off of Seth’s “What we have learned”
I would like to lend a few learning
lessons of my own:
-
Gentlemen, fashion is a
lot like your teams,
sometimes you have “God
Given talent” (Jay
Wright) and sometimes
you have to teach,
nurture and bring along
your ability in order to
become a champion (Bill
Self) <-----needs to
hire me personally.
-
Fashion elite status
comes in ALL shapes and
sizes, so not matter how
much hair you have on
your head or if you are
shopping in the
“irregular” sizes, it’s
NOT what you have on the
inside that counts it’s
what you WEAR on the
outside!
-
Learn from past losses,
i.e. if you were
eliminated early or beat
by someone you thought
was a hack, instead of
bashing them take a page
from their book (or
better yet GQ) and UP
YOUR GAME!

My point is
this….it’s NOT rocket science, do
your homework, look at the Coaches
that advanced, listen to and refer
back to past articles myself and the
Committee have written as tools you
can use to do better next season.
Now that being said, you have an
ENTIRE YEAR to prepare for next year
which I have been told will bring
some possible new formatting and
some BIG surprises. So PLEASE don’t
spend the off season on the Golf
Course in some tragic print shirt
and pleated shorts. If I see any of
you doing this consider NO
invitation next year. You may not
know it but the Fashion Police are
ALWAYS watching!
And remember……KEEP IT SEXY!
