Thanks Yeahyeah!  When I was younger I learned how to pronounce designers by loyally watching "Style with Elsa Klensch"...now I'm out of the loop. Wish there was something like that still on. |

| There is no way I can pull off that french accent. I've lived in North Carolina for 40 years...I'm from the south ya'll. The folks around here mispronounce Walmart...they add an S and make it Walmarts. Thanks for the link though!~ |

That's a really cool link .. there's many that I've been mispronouncing! And even hearing the proper pronounciation ... I would probably not remember how to say it properly anyway.  |

yeah, its like ur so used to saying it ur way, its difficult to saying it differently.
and it just seems weird and fake if u put on an accent to say those designer names!
why cant they have easy names like david jones !? |

Forget the designers... I have trouble with varous countries version of L'Occitane.
Now, my French nowadys is woeful, but I would have though the correct pronunciation was "Lock-ee-tarne" (ee as sound of "easy"), but I have heard SAs pronunce it "Lox-ee-tarne"... 
C'mon Frenchies.. does the double-c make it an "x" sound?  |

ACK. bad shadow.  bad shadow.
Mr. Shadow has been put back to bed as he snuck in when I wasn't looking.
That's what I get for not looking which ID comes up in the box when I try to re-sign in! |

The first "c" is prounounced as a hard "c" - like "cuh", then the second liaises with the "i" to make the same sound as the first two letter of "sit". So it's "lock-sih-tan" |

Here's a fun trick question:
Who can pronounce the name of the designer with the little horsies on the shirts? |

It was the best huh?! Do you know if there is anything comparable on TV currently? There was Behind the Velvet Ropes w/ Lauren Ezersky...but I'm not even sure if that is on either/it still wasn't as good as Style with Elsa (from what I can remember). |
