RANT: Leslie Sansone...

[FirmDancer]

Ditto - I would buy more of her DVDs if I could tell them apart. With some DVDs, like Leslie's, it's a spontaneous purchase. I may see it on sale at Target. But lately, I've been reluctant to buy a Leslie DVD because I have no idea if I already own it. (I guess I could compile a list.)

There are some smiles that scare the insides out and I'm glad I don't have to see them every day also. lol

I agree. Some people welcome change and seek it out now and then, even if just to keep themselves mentally &/or creatively stimulated. She's not about to change though - clearly she LOVES familiarity - and she probably can't think of one good reason why she should. I'll bet she has a good chuckle over conversations about her "changing". Sure, when pigs fly. Her home life is probably the same. If it's Saturday night it must be hot dog and hamburger night. Or make that just hot dogs. You wouldn't want too many choices now, would you.

I eat the same foods each week and I do certain workouts on certain days at certain times. Must be why I love Leslie so much! LOL. We're two dull peas in a boring pod.

Except she can afford a cook and other household staff. Oh wait, maybe you can too. I can't stand hot dogs. But I see Leslie as a hot dog kind of gal. (No offense to hot dog lovers.....)

SZ you're cracking me up! However, in Leslie's defense I will say that I've seen her nutrition book and watched her cooking segments on her video, and I don't believe she's the hot dog type. She's not into processed foods.

BUT - I'll bet Saturday night at her home is Italian sausage 'n peppers night, with the caveat that she makes the sausages fresh from scratch.

I like familiarity but have been dealing with change and that is inevitable. I do not begrudge Leslie not changing, that is why I love her, the familiarity. I just WOULD kind of like to be able to tell the workouts apart before I buy. It is one thing for her to produce nice nostalgic workouts and it is another to keep repackaging them and making it really hard for the consumer to know what they are buying.

I certainly don't begrudge her a nice life, nice house, nice children. Why would I begrudge anyone that?

And how do we know she likes hot dogs?

[Vintage VFer]

I'm fine with some changes. I like Leslie's workouts where she is alone. It is somehow refreshing and she doesn't get quite as manic.

I just wish she'd figure out some better ways to title her workouts.

Exactly!

That's why I haven't purchased a Leslie DVD in a couple of years and why she needs to change just a teeny-tiny-itty-bitty-bit so we can tell her workouts apart.

Maybe she could sub-number them like CIA did.

I just want to know if I already own it or not (and whether "the usual suspects" are in it and whether it is filmed "in the batcave") before I plunk down my money.

You, reaching out from the box with a crazed look in your eyes.

I wanted to do one of your old workouts and I couldn't recall the name. It's the one with the William Tell music and the weighted gloves. I looked at my Leslie shelf and realized I had NO IDEA which video it was.




Sincerely,
Alta-Tude

William Tell music?
