Right.. Thanks..

[MissAmericanPie]

What happened to give us your poor...etc? We grew up and decided it wasn't a good idea to let France define our national motto.

So you have smuggled illegals into the country? Thanks alot.
They only do the jobs Americans won't do huh? I have seen the construction business turned over to them because of their living eight to an apartment and running American workers out of the job because they couldn't support their families. Now they have their sights on the trucking industry. Soon that will also be a job that Americans won't do.

Your Gramps couldn't wait to be an American? This invasion could care less about being American, they rob the US economy of fourteen billion a year and ship it home to momma, making theft from the American economy their second largest source of national income next to oil.

I am finding out from first hand experience that they cost at least a billion a year in car wrecks they cause with no liscense, insurance, or id. California is 34 billion in the red, Texas is 10 billion in the red. Hospitals were going to close along the border until Bush made the taxpayer pick up the tab. Triage units are closing leaving our families befret of that golden hour that could save their lives.

Our schools are over run, while they are closing public schools in Mexico city due to lack of population. Our taxes are through the roof paying for the cost of services for people who you say can't contribute jack through taxation.

HUD is slipping illegals into neighborhood depressing property values, welfare hovel apartments are being built and filled in small towns destroying the community with crime and a town within a town, and you want us to sing Kumbiya?

We have rights too. Believe it or not the American taxpayer has some rights too. We have the right to say enough of this
You fine nice people stay the heck where you came from and be nice there. They want a better life? Take it up with their government like we took it up with England. We are fed up with the phoney call for compassion and duty to everyone but ourselves, a compassion designed to destroy everything for everybody. Because if we don't begin to act responsibly towards what needs to be preserved here, there will be no America left that anyone wants to come to.

"I've known him), but one thing I DO know is his integrity. If he says he's done something, you can bet your life on it being true!"

Have you gone to his site, which he advertises in his tag line? Have you checked out his bio? Or his resume at the bottom of the page?

He makes a lot of claims. Not the least of which, he claims to have been the costume designer on movies which were costumed designed by Edith Head.

He also claims to have retired at 38. If I am reading his resume correctly, that means he was the direct of food and beverage for the Westin Hotel when he was 14.

"His newest cookbook, Carlo Cooks with Kids, contains 100 kid-friendly, kid-approved recipes. His books are more than a collection of recipes."

Do a search on Google, Amazon or any book finder search tool. You won't find any listing for this or any books by him. At least I haven't.

Like his other projects, they seem to be just about to happen.

[Hon]

I guess I should let you know that I am talking about you in my posts to Jellybean above.

[kevao]

Really? You are a out of the loop, and as I suspected..uninformed as much as all of the Bush Bashers are usually.. Did you read what the Labor Board did to Binion's Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas yesterday? GONE Shazam!

Then tell me, Carlo3b, if the Feds are as efficient as you say about enforcing our immigration laws, why are there still 9 - 14 million illegals in this country? Why is an amnesty necessary?

And why should anyone think post-amnesty enforcement is going to be any more effective than it is now?

[christie]

Hon, I don't think you can read, actually. Carlo was born in the early '40s and was at the Westin Hotel around 1967, that would make him 25+ at the time. He retired around 1979. I don't see that Carlo claimed to be the Head Costume Designer, who would be the one to gets the credit.

Why don't you tell us about your credentials.

BTW, I put together Carlo's web site, so you can put the blame on me if there are any inaccuracies.

All: As far as I can see, Carlo has given employment to thousands of Americans, as well as some immigrants. He wasn't looking for cheap labor, just people to do the job.

[Hon]

You are doing some creative reading there. You say he retired in 1979?

"At age 38, he retired and soon tackled his most important challenge of all, as a stay-at-home dad with his young sons."

His resume shows no sign of retirement until 1991. He was director of operations of the Cadillac Bar, for instance, from 1988-91.

"His fashion career led him to Hollywood where he was a wardrobe and costume designer on productions such as The Dean Martin Show, The Perry Como Show, Red Skeleton, Bonanza, and Hogan’s Heroes, and feature films, The Son’s of Katie Elder, War Lord, and Harlow!"

The costume designer on Katie Elder and Harlow was Edith Head. There is only one costume designer on a movie, usually.

If you (or anyone with an objective mind) would read his bio and resume, you might have some doubts.

For instance, Chief Of Protocol for the State of Texas? Do a seach on Google. Nobody else ever seems to have claimed to have held that position.

He lists himself as an executive producer--and he has yet to executive produce anything--except projects that he says might happen sometime in the future.

And as I noted, he talks about books as if they have been published, but there seems to be no record of them.

Anyway, where is Carlo? Cat got his tongue?

[carlo3b]

So, you candy@$$ coward, you wait until I leave to slander me so it remains on the thread until I return.. Well JERK I'm back.. what do you want to ask me!

[carlo3b]

My resume a bit too much for you to handle.. LOL . . Well read it closely and eat your heart out.. if you were anything in your life, I'd like to know just who is publishing my business on a live thread.. Whats you line?

[christie]

I've known Carlo a long time. I have no doubts.

Gee, if I ever retire, I guess I will still have the right to work or do whatever I want.

What are your wonderful contributions to society?

[carlo3b]

Thanks girls, but this jerk is a disruptor and a coward to boot.. I am back now.. he/she waited for me to leave to slander me.. well I am back and I will answer any charge..

[Hon]

So go ahead.

Which movies were you the costume designer for?

Which books have you authored? Where can I buy them?

Which productions have you executive produced?

When did you retire?

Don't be shy!

From Carlo's own site:

Carlo’s career started at a very tender age. At 11 years old, after winning a citywide art festival, Carlo won an art scholarship. At 16, Carlo became the youngest artist on staff in the headquarters of Sears Roebuck and Company. At the age of 23, he held a much acclaimed International Debut of Fashion and quickly launched The House of Carlo fashions. Carlo soon was recognized as an accomplished Couturier and Costume Designer. His fashion career led him to Hollywood where he was a wardrobe and costume designer on productions such as The Dean Martin Show, The Perry Como Show, Red Skeleton, Bonanza, and Hogan’s Heroes, and feature films, The Son’s of Katie Elder, War Lord, and Harlow!

Later he landed a great job designing uniforms for the Century Plaza Hotel in Beverly Hills, sparking his interest in the hospitality industry. As Director of Food and Beverage, he opened luxurious hotels in cities from coast to coast.

In the early 1970s, Carlo was appointed The Chief of Protocol for The State of Texas. He insured that every major state function came off with flare and panache. He was responsible the for the United States Southern Governor’s Conference, the first ever held in The State of Texas.

Entrepreneur Extraordinaire! Over the years, Carlo has owned or managed over 56 restaurants and hotels, many of them having multiple locations. In 1974, he bought Houston’s Le Pavillon, an offshoot of New York’s acclaimed restaurant, and quickly turned it into the area’s first Four Star French restaurant. Carlo has owned or operated Élan, the award-winning chain of 14 private clubs with nationwide locations; the Cowboy Club, the Rice Rittenhouse Hotel, and the Cadillac Bar.

At age 38, he retired and soon tackled his most important challenge of all, as a stay-at-home dad with his young sons. As a popular homeroom dad, he has shown children how to make funny faces on pizzas and taught students how to make muffins. “I’ve never had so much fun as cooking with kids,” says Carlo.

Carlo is in constant demand for cooking demonstrations, motivational speeches, radio and TV appearances. Schools, charity organizations, and cruise lines, call on him when they want an extra special draw for their events. His appearance as the Featured Chef on a recent Royal Olympic Cruise, for example, enticed hundreds of people away from a ship’s-worth of other fun activities.

His newest cookbook, Carlo Cooks with Kids, contains 100 kid-friendly, kid-approved recipes. His books are more than a collection of recipes. They also provide the shopping, preparation, and cleanup know-how kids need to become self-sufficient cooks. It’s about mixing good times with good eats. And it’s about the bond formed when youngsters and their parents share the process of meal preparation.

Soon to be released, Soup, Sex, and the Single Man!, Chef Carlo’s do-it-all recipe for a healthy and happy single life, complete with a special Viagra menu!

NOW in development, a new blockbuster TV cooking show,

Sorry for not responding sooner...I've been at work... oh, wait...do you need to verify my employment as well??

You certainly say alot for someone who knows so little. I think Carlo is right, you're here only to disrupt.

[carlo3b]

I was born in 1941.. so your as bad at numbers as you are with facts.. I was the lead costumer on episodes of Red Skeleton, Bonanza, Branded, Rifleman and Hogan’s Heroes, and a wardrobe fitter on a host of fill-ins for most of the Top 10 NBC variety shows in 1963-66. Thus, Dean Martin Show,  Perry Como Christmas Shows, several Red Skeleton, Danny Kaye and Jerry Lewis, plus a Lucy and Judy Garland at Desilu..

I worked as lead or men's wardrobe on most everything else. My stint with Edith Head, during which I did the trailer for Elder, and the original Harlow with Carol Baker, which was never released in theaters.. I was a replacement Costume Designer for Jack Bear on "What did you do in the war daddy", and one or two others as men's wardrobe with Blake Edwards, during Jack Bear's illness, that I just can't remember their names..   My fashion house and perfumery, the House Of  Carlo, where I designed personally for Joan Crawford, Gypsy Rose Lee, Lucy Ball, Barbara Stanwyck.. among many others..I operated my company from 1962, until I sold in 1966.

The Chief of Protocol is for The State of Texas, for Gov Dolph Brisco, 1972-1974, responsible for the Southern Governor's Conference... .I am the Producer of my own productions on Lecture tours aboard ships and Featured Chef productions at Food Festivals and other venues. The books are my publishing company.. would you like a book.. send a check get a book.
