This outfit shows that Marina is, on this occasion, aware of her public image and capable of delivering a lesson without resorting to what some have labeled &quot;Hooter Garb&quot;. When I first watched this lesson, I couldn't get my eyes off of her arm. The long sleeved garment under her T shirt looked to me like a full-sleeve tattoo. The color is a good complement to her skin tone and the artwork is the best I have ever seen on a person's body. I wondered how I could have missed such prominent body art, as I had already watched several of her other videos. Was I so focused on her other parts that I missed this beautiful tattoo? Then I got so focused on the tattoo I missed the point of the lesson. </p> <p>Only when I watched it the second or third time did I hear the phrase &quot;what stars are made of&quot; -- which is the whole point of The Fifth Element. It's not easy to pay attention when Marina is in front of you -- cleavage or no cleavage. </p> <p>Marina has come very close to the line with her provocative style of dress, but she hasn't yet crossed it. Where is the line anyway? Who is to say how much skin is excessive? Censors have been debating that issue for years and the debate continues. Marina has attached intelligence to sexiness in a unique way, shaping opinion and influencing a large audience. She may even be moving the line. That's how much star power she has now. Public tolerance is pretty high. This is a video Marina can use as a prototype to appeal to a broader less male-skewed demographic if that ever becomes important. </p> <p>Right now it seems like the important thing is having some fun in the sun and gathering followers on Twitter. Can't fault her for that either. </p> http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/favorite-hotforwords-lesson#post-8584 Thu, 21 May 2009 07:01:47 +0000 buzzword 8584@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/04/01/slang-words/comment-page-4/#comments">slang words</a> because of the great discussions it produced. the subject of the lesson dominates the entire thread, be sure to start on page one. indicates the strength of the opinions involved. there wasn't even a video by marina attached. </p> http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/favorite-hotforwords-lesson#post-8583 Thu, 21 May 2009 05:29:46 +0000 fromvikingstock 8583@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <p>Here's another reason why I like The Fifth Element:</p> <p>This lesson generated an interesting review in New York Times Magazine by a media critic named Virginia Heffernan. The review was less than kind.</p> <p>One person who commented on that review was HotForWords own TA, Pedantic Karl.<br /> Together, these three events (Lesson, review, commentary) comprise a three-stroke volley, like a point in tennis. Let's see how it goes:</p> <p>1. Marina serves up a video called The Fifth Element<br /> Click this link to see the video:<br /> <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=hs-euGPE-FY" rel="nofollow">http://youtube.com/watch?v=hs-euGPE-FY</a></p> <p>2. Virginia Heffernan returns with a wicked backhand review on her blog.<br /> Click this link to read the review:<br /> <a href="http://themedium.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/17/sexicon/" rel="nofollow">http://themedium.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/17/sexicon/</a></p> <p>3. Pedantic Karl steps in and returns the ball to Virginia's court. And it never came back. Point HotForWords! Game, set and match.<br /> (Scroll down in Virginia's blog to see Karl's comment.)</p> <p>OK, now for the Quintessential part: Until I read this well put come-back. I was accustomed to reading Karl as the supporting and positive person who shows up next to the Queen's Knight chess piece in the forums and comment streams on the hfw site. His retort to Virginia broadened my view. In case you don't know it yet, PedanticKarl is a force to be reckoned with. In my opinion, Karl is at his best when he's being helpful with students and supportive with colleagues. But Karl has another side and you will feel his wrath if you ever offend Marina. This was an important lesson for me, as I can be somewhat abrasive despite my good intentions.</p> <p>So, as a newcomer to HotForWords I learned more than vocabulary from The Fifth Element. I learned something about social interaction among dedicated people who share a common vision and mutual respect.</p> <p>That's what stars are made of. </p>
