Posted - 07/15/2010 : 14:07:19 It's a lot of pressure coming up with #300, but here we go ...
Considered by some the last major movie star, Elizabeth Taylor has had a career spanning 60 years, more than 50 roles, 2 Oscars, 8 marriages and 6 perfume lines.
Came up with more than 30 possible entries. Hope you also find her an inspiring victim.

Posted - 07/22/2010 : 18:29:35 I wanted to enter this week's contest but couldn't think of anything better than:
Inter National Velvet
Loved CP's "Velvet underground," though. |

Lurking is reading a forum without posting. Openly voting in a competition without entering it is nothing to do with lurking.
Not that it makes any difference now, but the final outcome would have been the same with or without either Conan's or Salopian's votes. Just thought you might want to know. |

Time to get up here and give us a few words then choose the next victim. Make sure it's NOT someone that we had laid to rest in previous rounds.
You are now free to post any alternative FWTOs you may have.

Posted - 07/21/2010 : 23:10:21 I'm still waiting on 3 voters, and it's close at the top. I'd like to give everybody the chance to vote on this auspicious occasion. Reminders have been sent.
See you later |

Because I hadn't been in the thread until immediately before voting, which was right before the deadline. Besides, the reviews I voted for are certainly better. |

Posted - 07/21/2010 : 18:47:09 Votes are rolling in folks, and thanks for that.
Counting may be a little delayed tonight because I'm out this evening, and after getting home I shall be hooking up our was-broken-now-fixed computer.
TIA for your patience
