sifuwong Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Picture? Scroll down to middle of page. http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...mp;#entry278864 On the brunette side, my heart will always belong to Dominique. However, on the blonde side I have to say it belongs to Ilona Carson! They wear too much makeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilioScotia Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 best dressed? or best stretched buttons?Did you know that every penny Dominique and other TV people spend on their wardrobe and appearance is tax deductible? They can also deduct their hairstyling costs, and Dominique spends a ton on that.Many small and medium market TV stations provide a "wardrobe allowance " to make up for the low pay, but stations in the big markets let their "stars" pay for their own wardrobes out of their "large" paychecks. That way the stars can deduct those costs.It's called "unreimbursed business expense". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the days when every medium-sized town had its own local department store, it was the department store that sent over the clothing for the anchors in exchange for a chyron at the end of the show. These days that's mercifully rare, except in game shows, talk shows, and The Soup on E!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have included those small and medium market TV stations that work a trade-out with a local clothing or department store. Advertising in return for wardrobe for the on-camera people is a common practice in many small and medium markets. Even so, some TV managers still prefer to provide a wardrobe allowance. They don't want to give away ad minutes they can sell, and the station can deduct an allowance as a cost of doing business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmil128 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I remember this very question coming up on Wendy Miller's midday show on KLOL one day, I'll never forget the guy who called in and said "the one on Ch. 2 with the fake ****" referring to Dominique. I remember she didn't quite look that way when she did morning traffic while still being a dj on Mix 96.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottonmather0 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Anyone else think Lauren Freeman is pregnant? She's a newlywed and has been wearing really frumpy looking sweaters and dresses lately and seems to be a bit plumper than she used to be. There are rumors on other message boards that she is but I have yet to find anything official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NenaE Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It's been rumored for a long time that Anderson was "light in the loafer." But it has been rumored for a while now that several of the meteorologists in Houston, both past and present personalities, were gay as well.As an employee/intern at KPRC, I'd have to say that not only is Dominique absolutely BEAUTIFUL but she has just as beautiful personality. She is a sweet heart in real life! Always has something nice to say.My favorite news personalities are:Dominique Sachse (see on daily basis)Cecilia Sinclair (meet several times and is just as sweet as Dominique)Travis Herzog (whom I'm friends with)Frank Billingsley (work with)Art Rascon (meet several times)Bill BallezaBob NicholasOrelon SidneyI've met many more, but since I've had the opportunity to work with many of the folks from KPRC Channel 2, my list may be a bit bias.I like weatherman Travis Herzog...Ch. 13, gotta go, it's almost 4:00...news time. I also like anchorman Art Rascon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooires Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Has anyone seen Mia Gradney's outfit today (on the 5 o'clock broadcast)? I'll just say I was very captivated, interested, and will be tuning in much, much, more. VA-,VA-,VOOOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom of 3 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I've been so annoyed that I created an account here just to be able to say this. I'm hoping someone from KHOU will see it and make a change. My husband watches channel 11 for the weather in the morning and evening. I hold the remote because the forced laugh of Mia Gradney and Shern-Min has become like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I hit the mute button as soon as it starts. I don't want to make anyone feel bad so I'm just saying I know someone told these ladies to laugh like that, similar to a barking dog, sharp and loud and completely fake. If this is what the bosses want, please send these ladies to a class on how to laugh pleasantly. I can't stand this station anymore just because of this horrible laughing.
