extreme drinking and thirst
i have a one year old dobermann male who was rehomed to us (and i know his prev owner personally)two months ago, and has really settled in well.
when we brought him home he wa rather slim and we have worked hard ever since to get him to gain weight and to build muscles.
he weighed about 28 kilos when we got him and three weeks ago when we did the mandatory ad/hd x-ray they clocked him in at amazing 35,4 kilos..
a week after that all of a sudden he stopped eating, i thought it was because there might be some bitch in heat in the area..no such luck..
i fiddled and desperatly tried to get him to eat but all he wanted to do was drink...and drink...and drink... about 7-9 LITERS per day ....and no matter what i tried to offer him he didnt wanna eat... not even grinded meat or beef or...well anything...no dogfood brand or variations was untried..
had to seriously cut back on the trainingsessions...
i kept calling the vet ever day (started the second day when he was excessivly drinking) and was yet again put off with a well he drinks so there should be no problem..
i finally went to the vet and refused to leave before they had a look at him... he was by then down to 27 kilos (a loss of more than 30 % of his weight in two and a half week)and shaking like a rattler. severly dehydrated and shaking unable to walk it became even more acute since his problems escalated while we were waiting...
now nthree days on dripbag and several tests later all they can say for sure is what it is NOT... they have test for diabethics,addisons,cushings,kidney problems,etc...
what they could see was that he had very very low levels of natrium and kalium in his blood.and a little bit of urea... noting else seems wrong except for the fact that no matter how much drop (NaCl) they give him his levels doesnt raise and his urine doesnt seem to get much dilluted... now they are sorta giving up...with lets try cortisone so i reach ouut and ask is there anyone out there who has any idea or has experienced anything similar???
Note: kidney x-ray and ultrasound is done,ACTH test is done,and bloodworks aswell...
This is my first time on this forum. Our 9 yr old boxer has started drinking an excess amount of water also. We also took him to the vet where they did 2 urinalysis and two different blood tests. All came back OK. The only thing they saw was that his Valley Fever seems to be coming back ever so slightly. He has been on anitbiotics for 1 week now and I do not see any improvement. His appitite is still good, however the vet would like him to lose anywhere from 15 - 20 lbs. He had Valley Fever when he was younger and was antibiotics for a couple of years. I do not remember this being a sympton back then.
What do you think? The vet wants to wait a couple more weeks before he examines him again to give the anitbiotic time in his system.
not always a it seems
i am sad to say i had to let the vet put Tzaar to sleep they are now performing a autopsy to determin what it was that he was suffring from.
they say addissons ,but yet they say it is not quite..
we had him at te animal hospital for a week and they had him on triple dropbags cause they had tried with less and thn his levels of natrium and kalium didnt elevate even the slightest..
they said on friday that with cortisone he should be fine and sent him home... that evening he was relativly okey... saturday he began to get tired and just wanted to sleep..a 200 meter walk took so much energy of him that he was rembling badly, and he didnt want to eat..with a bit of persuation we managed to get the meds into him...and on sunday... we persuaded him to take the meds again... and got his faVOUITE FOOD to make him eat some... he reluctantly ate some... and an hour later he puked everythingup... meds from friday undigested same with saturday and sundays meds...
we went to the vet again and even tho he had been drinking he was yet again severly dehydrated... he wasnt getting any better... he could hardly walk becaue he was shaking ... i had to carry him...so we decided to do the most humane thing and let him go to dogheaven... because only time he was somewhat okey was when he was on dropbags..and we cant keep him o that for ever... it was the most horryfying experience in my whole life... from perfectly healthy to deadly sick in less than two weeks...
i hope no dog ever have to experience what he went tru...
and you people who have dogs that start acting strange and drink loADS of water...please please go to a larger vetrinary center because many times the smaller vetstations dont have the resources to check and diagnose more than the most common problems...
wish you all well.. in time maby ill get a new dog...but for now im glad when i can get thru the day..

How much is too much?
I have a 4 year old mixed breed Black Chow Chow / Samoyed named "Hoshi Kita" and she has recently started drinking, we think, more water than normal.
Historically Speaking...
We moved in mid-December from a condo in Montreal, where she did not have an outdoor space - beyond the balcony that overlooked the street, to a home in Sorel-Tracy that is fairly secluded in woods and is teeming with birds, squirrels, chipmunks, marmots and we've even seen one coyote!
Kita is outside more often and is more active - in the morning she goes for an hour long walk in the woods - pointing out pheasants, etc. To me, this is idyllic for her. However, she will at times, pace back and forth from one window to another throughout the house, looking outside - no doubt for evidence of some "Varmit Trespasser" and we think this might be providing a slight elevation in her stress levels - but isn't that natural? Dogs are natural born hunters, right? Especially, Chow Chows. It would be expected that she be excited to see all "this" and be excited and somewhat protective of "Kita's Park", right?
Being as how, we've only ever lived in the city and this is our first experience in the country with a dog (and a cat, too! Lord Almighty lest I forget to mention Miss "Boo Boo Bucle" Simone), we're not sure if she's drinking due to stress, a urinary-something, or is she too hot and just needs to cool down?
I've seen people write in this thread that their dog is drinking excessively. How do you "know"? What is excessive drinking for a 70lbs to 80lbs dog with a double layer of fur that is now, as is normal, falling out and making our floors look like the Wild West with tumbleweeds of fur blowing everywhere... Kita-Kat is probably drinking around 8-12 cups of water a day. Is that excessive?
What we're seeing also is that she will drink her daily does of water most often, close to - or just as, she goes to bed. Same with eating. She eats mainly at night, hardly touching her food at all during the day. She does eat and she does drink but is any of this "normal"? She doesn't urinate excessively - that is normal too. Longer squats, for sure but again, this is to be expected, right?
Hoshi Kita's active, playful, emotional, cute-as-can-be and pretty! Oh so pretty! Those big brown eyes!
(She's watching me write this, of course.)
Any thoughts?
excessive drinking
I am sad to announce that Tzaar did not make it... after two weeks in intensive care at the vetrinary hospial he hadnt gotten any better and even tho they had him on intravenuos fluid he became more and more dehydrated... and was so weak he couldnt even walk 20 meters without shaking like a leaf... so we had to take the devastating decision to put him to sleep.
My great dane puppy
I have a 4 month old male great dane and he just recently started drinking water like it was going out of style..is this something normal? I have taken up all water so he doesn't get any after 7pm but he still pees everywhere.. I thought at first he was just thirsty from being outside but they have water out there so this couldn't be it... and I have had a problem with him not able to hold his pee.. but he seems to be intentionally do it like he thinks its funny...Ugghhh can anyone help... Any suggestions???

I have an 8 yr old Boxer who I adopted from a rescue last year. Joe drinks excessively and was lethargic when he first arrived. I just figured he was old and not quite used to me. He never seem interested in play for very long. Mostly just slept. Our vet said he was a healthy dog who was showing signs of arthritis. After about 9 months or so Joe began to lose his hair along either side of his body. On the next visit to the Vet they ran tests of his thyroid. Joe now takes meds twice a day for his thyroid. His hair grew back with in weeks of the medication. He's a whole new dog. You would never guess he's an old man except for the gray beard. He loves to jump and play. So if you have an excessily thristy dog check on his/her thyroid.
Buddy's issue
Buddy is my 2 year old yellow Labrador. I have read through all these posts and I'm still not convinced that Buddy is suffering from some problem other than he's mental. I have had Buddy since he was 8 weeks old. He is house broken and has been kennel trained from the day he came through the front door. When we leave the house he is placed in a kennel. When we have company over he is placed in a kennel. He is as healthy as a horse. He has regular Vet check ups and the Vet always says Buddy is in fine shape.
Buddy Drinks Water until he barfs it up. We have managed his water since birth. That was part of the way he was house broken. We never left water out for him to drink whenever he wants. Other wise he would be peeing all over the place. He gets plenty of water throughout the day. I wonder what is wrong with him? He has had blood tests...all normal. Well I'm at a loss..
kennel/crate water
For those of you who do want to leave water for their dog while they are in their crate/kennel, but do not want to use a bowl due to spillage, I can tell you what we use. And, it helps out at other times with our boxer that likes to drink all the time like the other dogs on the post.
We use a hamster water bottle. The kind that hangs on the cage and has a little ball on the end. They lick the end with the ball and water is released without spilling, albeit kind of slowly. But, the dogs we use it with are two small dachshunds.
We put water in a bowl for them while they are not in their kennel, but sometimes they prefer to drink from the hamster feeder. And, at night when we don't want any water out for our boxer to drink (he will drink any water he finds), this allows them to still get a drink of water if they need to. The boxer has never drank from the hamster feeder. He is so much bigger, the little amount of water that comes out per like would probably just make him mad.
please help
hi all,
i have a 7-year-old maltese. i've read all the posts and almost all of them are so similar to timmy's problem. you wouldn't believe how much water he drinks, especially in the morning.
we've had all those tests for diabetis, kidney, well nothing abnormal. he just keeps drinking and drinking. he's a smart dog and he feels ashamed when he asks for water, that just worries me so much. i am so at a loss and i really don't know what do to. we've visited almost 10 vets but they just drive me mad, saying it is normal.
if it is not an illness, not that he just likes drinking either, what is it? how can a dog drink half of his total weight in one day?
This is my first time on this website, I was looking to see how to better manage my dog patches' diabetes. She has been my best friend for the past 13+ years, so I typed in my dog drinks too much water and found this thread. We went through all kinds of tests and many mis-diagnosis, all of the cures for what wasn't the problem just seemed to make things worse, the last one, pills for incontinance almost cost Patches her life. but I luckily stopped giving her the medicine and when I took her back her blood sugar levels were so high they kept her 2 days and told me that she would probably not make it, the next day I went in to pick her up. She came home with instructions on how to give her shots twice a day, that was more than a year ago. I will not take her back to that Vet. It was by the way one of the largest Vet Clinics in Portland. But unfortunatly lately her insulin levels are off much more often, and she is going blind, but she makes it very clear that she is not ready to go yet. I am hoping that someone might have some advise. I'm not ready to loose my best friend.

dog drinking too much water
My vet has just diagnosed my lab with generally being very healthy except he drinks too much water. His kidneys are not concentrating his urine. After several sets of blood, urine and xray tests, he was diagnosed with healthy kidneys but after monitoring we realized he drinks way too much water. (We had a kiddie pool all summer which may have caused this problem to start). As best as I can understand, his kidneys are healthy but not being used because of the large amount of water he is drinking. We always knew our lab would overeat if his food was not monitored but now we have to regulate his water intake as well. Based on his weight, the vet has calculated he needs just under 1 litre water per day. We now give him water 4 times a day. We live in a cold climate so right now the weather is not a factor. I am not sure what we will do when the hot summer days come. As this problem was new to me I thought I would share it as its sounds like others may experience this with their dog. This diagnosis was from the vet after numerous tests ruling out diabetes, etc.
Boxer #3
So I'll be the third boxer owner who's dog drinks water obsessivly. (11 years old) I've taken her to the vet, got blood and urine tests to check for issues. (cushing/kidney/infection etc) All came back clear.
The drinking water doesn't bother me, it's the urination and in HUGE quantities all over my carpets and floors every other day that have me considering some perminant solutions to this problem.
She's on the Protin now, and as of 3 weeks still peeing on my floor. I let her out 9-12 times per day to pee, and still she pees on my floor. It's unreal. I even tried the doggie diapers, she pees right through them and onto my floor.
So now I'm trying to put water down on a schedule. Honestly between the diapers/pills/vetbills/carpet cleaning/paper towels and extreme aggravition I'm feeling, I'm starting to loose hope.
This has been going on about 4 months, and the vet doesn't know what to do either.
Any tips?
Proin is POISON
German/shepard Akita mix also drinking alot of water
I have a german/shepard akita male. He is 13 1/2 years old. My other child, my best friend. He has been drinking alot of water especially at night about 8:30-12:30, drinking, going out, sometimes until 1:30 am sometimes 2:00 am. I also took him to vet, urine tests showed severe urine infection, i have had him on antibotic for 3 weeks. No better, actually worse. When he first started antibotic it helped for few days then became more & more of drinking water & going out. Every night he pee's in his sleep. 2 big floods. I have bought 3 different types of diaper/guards and male wraps but none work. First one was too small. Second one the guard was made more for a female dog. Now the 3rd one i bought last night fits but is very constricting. He fell after i put it on him. You see i should mention my dog has a spinal disease. No its not the same as hip displasia. It is called degenerative myelopathy. It eventually paralysis dog- they cant walk any more. There is no cure for it. Sometimes dogs get it at a slow pace-over the years but then some dogs, it hits them in months time. My dog started with it about 3 years ago-it wasnt that bad-he could walk and run-but his hind legs would give out sometimes and his back feet would drag a little bit. But now the past 4 months it really is hitting him. He falls alot, his feet curl under and make it hard to walk for few seconds. Ive read about it and it can make them loose there bowl and urinary use when the disease is really hitting them. My vet knows this but hasnt mentioned if thats the cause-instead he says we have to let him finish the antibotic, then for one week he has to be off and we'll do another urine cullture. My dog is generally feeling ok during the day, except day before yesterday, i tryed him on one of those urine leaking pills. What a mistake..i thought he was going to get a heart attack. Then last night or i should say this morning 4;30 am he woke me up breathing hard. He had peed on rug and when i did let him out again, he fell several times. Going out -then coming in. Today he feels bad, i know he does. I know when he does do accidents he puts his head down-like im sorry mommy-dont be mad at me..but i never yell at him-never had to his entire life, he has been such a gift to me--my best friend, i know his days are numbered now, i'm crying as i type..only people that are really close to their dogs can know how i feel. I am a stay at home mom, and this dog has always been a big part of my daily living. Everyone that knows him knew how he was so close to me--i use to have to take him in bathroom with me when i showered-cause he'd cry if i didnt-things like that. Well if anyone out there has any suggestions-or has ever been this route-or even a few nice words would help-thanks for listening-annie
okay i find this almost hard to believe that you guys would jump to conclusions like this and automatically assume that there is something seriously wrong with her puppy.
i have 2 pit puppies right now, similar to boxers, one is 7months the other is 4months.. before my 4month old (female) i had a 6 week old, she died of parvo, then a 5 1/2 week old a month later, also died of parvo a month after getting her...she was obsessed with wather..(btw during all this time I had my 7 month old, i got him first at 6 weeks, then started getting the females, then we moved on after that, learned a bit about parvo and how to get rid of it, then got a 3month old, she was adored water, but she was rather skiddish, and we were afraid she wud get scared when she was older and bite a child so we found a good home for her, the next one was the same was also 3months and loved water but skiddish.. our final one, turned out to be the most well-behaved and perfect pup ever.. but she also is obsessed with water, and so is my male, who has been since he was a baby baby..
So with my background being stated... I think since they are puppies they just love water, it just needs to be rationed and given to only when you are able to keep a full watch on them. They dont understand when they are full and cant really hold their bladder as well as a 4 year old would be able too..
this is why they tell you to give a cup of food per 10lbs, there is a reason for that, so they dont over eat, do the same with water, and take them outside as soon as they are finished and every15 minutes after that for about an hour. puppies are like children, they have to be watched and be forgiven for mistakes. and with her boxer being 10months.. id consider that still a puppy.. id consider a 2 year old still a puppy...
quit scaring the crap out of people, yes go to the vet if you are really concerned, but dont automatically jump and say your dog is going to die because it drinks to much water.
but if you know your dog and have had it for a long time, and its doing something that isnt normal, take it to the vet. my baby girl was sleeping more than normal and had a runny nose and i knew it wasnt normal, so i called the vet, turns out she had allergies bc of spring...so i gave her a benadryl so if you feel something is wrong, then get help.

The OP made me feel justified that I was not obsessing. We give her water and ensure she is not dehydrated, but it is only in small doses and frequently. Should we do this in another way? When she was a pup we tried the water in the kennel and in the bottles but she is way to high strung to deal with that. She gets water everywhere. We kennel our dogs much like the OP only I am not working while in Paris with my husband and she is kenneled much less frequently.
Incidentally, one of the reasons we had grown increasingly concerned was that she would drink water too fast and then vomit is back up almost immediately. We were terribly worried but the Vet here says it is fine and we should only give her small doses.
I appreciate support and input.
Has the vet checked for Cushing's, WooKeef? That can also cause excess drinking/urination. Especially in an older dog, we like to rule out everything we can before deciding it's just a behavioral problem.
But if everything has been checked and physically she's fine, than rationing her water is a suitable solution. We have two dogs that can't make it through the night unless we cut off their water supply after 6:30 p.m. The other six have free access to the water but these two have been trained not go to the bowls once they've had their after-dinner drink. They do just fine all night without free access and aren't even particularly thirsty when they get up in the morning (at least, they don't make a beeline for the water bowls ).

You may find some help here ...
I recently became an owner of an 8 year old lab who has the same problem.
According to his previous owner, this is a psychological issue that he was tested for at the vets many years ago.
I give him water when he eats, and a few other times during the day, but that's it.
He's not crated, he sleeps on the living room floor.
After much evaluation I am fairly certain that my dog does not have cushings. I believe it is "manic" as my French vet says, or psychological. I suppose this is a product of her aging...as she is 12 years old.
Obsessive puppy with food and water
I'm curious if the boxer puppy resolved the obsessive drinking. I have a 4 month old bull terrior pup. She is obsessed with both water and food. We have to ration both......otherwise she will gulp down as fast as she can.
She has been to the vet and had many tests to rule out diabetes, etc. She is a healthy pup.
To reduce her possessiveness of food, I have started feeding her half of her food in the bowl, addiing 1/4 more food to the bowl and then the remainder of food is fed to her from my hand. I want her to begin associating people with giving....not taking away food. Its a work in progress.
However, I have not resolved the obsession with water. If it is a rainy day and I take her outside to go to the bathroom, she simply focuses on drinking from the puddles and then she releaves herself ALL over the floor.
Bottle for over drinker
I saw on one website that over drinking during the day could be alleviated by using a horse "lick" bottle and a rabbit bottle at night. Does anyone know where I can find a "lick" bottle?
I am very much interested in chatting with you over your lab's psychological issue with water. I believe I have one with the same problem but some feedback from you would be so helpful.
I have the same problem with my dog too. I have a 15 years old Black Miniature Schnauzer. He had the same exact movement as your dog... So it was time to take the shot for the vaccination so i went and told my vet. They checked up on him and say that he had less then a year to live.... He is now 15years old and still lives but have the same problem... when my vet told me i lost half of my life... this baby of mine has less time to live and i didn't have much time to spend with him because my uncle was fighting cancer... But as days go by he sleeps a lot, drink a lot and some time he runs around like a puppy .... so i was like what in the world was my vet thinking .... my Pocky is still alive after they told me he only have a less then a year to live.... that time i was so stress out my uncle is about to die and now my Pocky is leaving .... i could not stand the pain and sadness.... Sad thing my uncle passed away but thankfully my dog is living more than a year and still lives.... That made up my life so baldy.... still trying to find a cure but i think i'm going to try pedialyte where a lot of site says its good... I can't trust vets anymore because my vet that told me those word was a good vet in USA so the only hope is the internet, talking to the owner of a pet they love and truly understand how they see there own pet suffer and trying to find the cure is the best vet i think i can ever find!!!
After a painful registrations and losing my long message, here i go again for the sake of the dogs: IT IS THE FOOD!
Before taking your pet to the vet, give her brown rice and cooked or raw (better) chicken, the appetite will come right away and will drink normally. Try it, it does not matter if for a day has loose stools. She will get well. Comercial dog food is poison has GMO corn and soy, among other poisons. No matter how expenssive the food is, it is unnaturally processed, and it ruins their kidneys, liver and nevous system.
Add to the brown rice and chicken some peas and sweet potato. Trust me, just try it. If this does not work, THEN you take her to the vet. Nature must be the first approach because we are ruining our pet's health as we have ruined ours. Good luck.
My Dog is drinking 4 to 5 liters of water single day since two days.
Is it a good symptom if a "DOG (SCOOBY)" consumes too much water. Recently i got it treated because of allergic problem. N doctor gave him injection(anti-biotics). Is it because of that? or any other reason. Please help me out I love him very much...

On the Street….White Jeans for Fall, Paris
CommentsClose comment
178 comments
Whaat no white jeans are so tacky, i'm sorry.. I love the leather goods though :)
u r tacky
um, how'd she do that? Because it looks effortless, and I mean that in a good way.
Wow you're in Paris now? I arrive Monday, hopefully I'll get to see Mr. Sartorialist in action lol
lovely pic, as usual!
nice watch
Oh, she is flowing.
Absolutely flowing.
Full of movement, that one.
I love the forcefulness of the picture. Her eyes, her lips, the scarf/skirt and then the boots are all moving forward. Great picture!
i looks like she has no legs!!
Strange things happening here. I like the idea of the white jeans with the browns and rich warm textures. Her jacket is gorgeous. But it looks like she had to hurry up and get going: she walked out in her long johns, didn't have time to stuff everything in her bag or finish putting on her make-up.
That said, the photo itself is beautiful and the white gravel plays up the white pants.
Lovely! I actually wore my white jeans a couple of week ago and posted it on my blog too. While white pants and say, a gauzy turquoise top look out of place in fall, there is nothing wrong with a weather appropriate pain of white jeans!
been seeing those wine lips circulate the internet today, love them, and the color palette she has goin on for fall. the scarves on her bag and rings on her finger. love it
i haven't seen so many white pants in paris, but i've noticed LOTS of white pants in rome. it looks really fresh. i do wonder how this could possibly work in new york or for those of us who tend to drip gelato all over ourselves. :)
White jeans are chic anytime of the year!
Confident woman ! reminds me of Vogue's ,Grace Coddington,
@ fashionbook-the.blogspot.com
I like the boots and top!
The browns of the boots and jacket really make it "fall appropriate" whatever that is. Also I love the aged look of that bag, with the scarves tied to it. Cheers to wearing white after labor day!
AMEI as botas :)
Great . . . Let's get away from the old rules.
Now THAT'S courageous and TOTALLY works, for me looking at her and for her too.
Fabulous! Exactly what I come to this blog to see!
White is new black!..I think:)
I really like the blouse peeking out from under the leather jacket.
White jeans for gray season!
I got a pair of boots just like those from the Marks and Spencers sale…. ÂŁ20 !
Had my white jeans on today,it just felt right.
If the pic came from NYC, I'd say cool, downtown rocker chick. Love the man's watch and the dusty harness boots. The jeans-cut leather jacket is sweet. Too many rings, though. Not to be age-ist, is this outfit age appropriate?
I'm good with the white jeans, love the yellow print, and her leather is gorgeous. What kills the look is the darn cell phone attached to her ear. Is she coordinating emergency life support? Is something on fire? She's in friggin Paris, for goodness sake. Get off the phone and join the rest of humanity.
I think she wore the white pants and walked through the white gravel only to accentuate DEM BOOTS! where can i get some.
I love most of this look, but her hair is too long and her ponytail too sloppy for a woman her age. She looks like she's been camping for several days, with no access to a shower. Also, she's accessorized herself to within an inch of her death. Rings on top of rings, large watch, bracelet, two scarves on her bag–it's just too much. With an age-appropriate hairstyle and 10% of the accessories, this would be a winner.
now if only I had some white pants…
nah, it's probably better I don't.
she looks great, though.
She looks great – minus a few of the rings!
I think it is only inappropriate in the States to wear white jeans in fall and winter – my sister in Denmark wears her white jeans year round.
And to a previous comment: who decides if it is age-appropriate? Wear what you like I say!
And why, pray tell, wouldn't her outfit be "age appropriate"? What age are we talking about, really? I'm going to be 60 in a week, and I would wear everything she's wearing – except the jeans wouldn't be white for long, I do tend to drip gelato over myself. Are women over 30 supposed to wear a burqua? Sheesh!
You can just tell that she has the most amazing stories to tell… the kind of person you want to sit next to in a dark bar. And soak up…
She is the editor in chief of Velvet Magazine, Michaela Gattermayer, she is ever so strong in her style.
Hi, I looove white jeans, i'm wearing it all the time! Black is an eternal elegant color, but white is much more, you just have to know how to wear it the right way.
Come check the new posts, hope you enjoy it! ;)
Following you via rss feed, follow me too :)
@ MaisonChaplin.blogspot.com
Love all her jewellery and her boots are amazing!!
Love the outfit. Now, once she gets a haircut – involving 6 inches – she'll look perfect.
I loved it until I got to the lips and the hair… too severe for me, but LOVE the boots.
aha, every time I take white pants in winter everyone look at me confusedly.
Correct me if I am wrong, but is this not Mrs. Rick Owens? BTW I am in love with her bag!
Well it's everything she's put together – but those boots are it! Running out to get a pair now…
Anon 6:09 PM, mate, brilliant.
Those same boots have been around for centuries. I was 13, about 30 years ago in Italy and could not scrape the quaranta mila lire (about 40 dollars) necessary to obtain a pair via legal means. Every kid on my street had a pair thanks to their mummies and daddies but I gave up on the idea and moved on with my life.
Goddamn I nearly lost a lung laughing when they became fashionable in Sydney – 15 years later!
She is in fashion!
stunning combination. i am loving those boots.
do not like the jeans or yellow…thing. however, the rest of the outfit is really beautiful…love the rugged leather theme.
Great photo – the flying hair, scarves, intensity! I think white jeans are great but a slippery slope depending on your size and the cut of them. Hope I can find some one of these days that work like these!
love the deep deep brown-reds in her outfit (and hair), with the contrast of the jewelry on her skin. much love to the jeans with the boots, but I don't think it would work if the boots were black.
I love this action shot. And I love her look, she owns it.
Hail white jeans full of Grace! (Or does she just a ringer?)
Who´s that bag by??? I LOVE it!
The look like FRYE boots
striking ensemble.
bold. and it works!
This is the "variations" chick from the other post!!
She is just fly…..her flawless style makes anything she rocks appropriate. Steel and Velvet. I love it.
love the boots and white pants, but seriously that yellow shirt tail is horrible!!!
are those hudson boots?
the pop of color from the yellow and blue from the scarf go lovely with the white jeans i think
the brown helps bring it together
Don't start a comment with "not to be ageist" and then make a comment that's ageist. No one's commenting that the dandy man under this pic is too old for his colors. Please. No one is too old for anything, it's all in the attitude and the panache. Very insulting how all of the ageists (who aren't ageists, of course….) come out in full force when it's a woman in the photos. She is brilliant and beautiful.
So beautiful, one of your best photos this year! Wonderful colors and textures, and the white works so well with the brown, especially since the pieces seem to be of high quality. The splashes of yellow and purple are perfect! This woman knows. This is what I come here for.
This picture reminds me myself, I am from Europe, and there, we drive less, and sometimes we go all day long, from one place to another, lunch with a friend, school, movies with boyfriend, she is having a great time,
cool blog
She looks cool as usual, however, wasn't this photo taken during the last fashion week about a month ago? About a month ago it was still summery pretty much everywhere in the northern hemisphere- more or less-so still arguably white jeans and old leather weather! Now I think we are all bundling up in tweeds- even if it's still cafe weather.
amazing ringss!!
Love that lipstick shade as well. A nice tough look all together for someone her age. Interesting.
As I was putting away the last bits of summer clothing the other day, I was wondering if I'd be able to pull of wearing white denim pants in the fall.. this photo is very inspiring.
I love that she has accessorized her accessories to the hilt and that she has some sort of watch fobbish looking thing hanging from the controversial jeans. Her hair struck me the most. WOW. And I am scared of the idea of age appropriate hair.
love her rings!
I would much rather talk to this woman, with all her rings and interesting face, than most of the lovely young girls we usually see on this site.
I think she perfect in her choice of attire and is much more stylish and creative than most. I love her decision to wear what makes her feel good, rules be damned.
Paris? Looks more like London circa 1989? Love her urgency and movement though.
i would definitely wear this myself. its fresh and just sexy and comfortable.
@ Anonymous – 6:05 PM,
I don't know how is it your sense of style but her clothes are very good looking for any age. I think there are many other outfits you could say that about, but this one is perfectly ageless. I see women from every ages wearing these colors and wearing jeans/leather jackets and these kind of boots.
@ MaisonChaplin.blogspot.com
Marni blouse……..pulling out the old stuff. Loves it!
Hi Sartorialist,
I have been reading your amazing blog for quite a while and just wanted to say I love your work.
As a fashion designer myself, it is nice to see international inspiration in people on the street.
This is by FAR one of my FAVORATE photos you have taken to date… AWESOME!
Love most of the look but to be honest, there are too many flowing things for me
The image/picture is great and I like the idea of white jeans but something about the yellow and scarves trailing…she looks like a vagabond. Definitely original though
Wow totally want to wear my white jeans but always stick to the no white after labor day rule, maybe I'll be daring and try this sometime.
She is on the move. I love the details. I am curious about the yellow frock underneath the gorgeous jacket. Overall, this look is so refreshing.
Everything fits her so well but the hair: too long for a woman her age ( I'm 63 ). I particularly like the jacket, the boots and the rings.
i think the lips and hair are hard and two scarves on the bag are OTT but overall it's a great look
This is urban cowboy with a twist. I love it-People's personal style always fascinates me. Beautiful woman though I think the make up is a little harsh or maybe that's deliberate as otherwise it would be quite a Summer look, S x.
I think white is a great colour for winter. It is so cold and icy and it really highlights the the colours in a colourless landscape (sic)
Although I would not wear this outfit personally, what is the comment about age appropriate? That sounds like my mother who once told me:
No white anything after labor day. And hair above the shoulders after 40. And so on. BTW, she came of age in 1942! So those rules, ANY rules are not for today.
I am an "older" woman and I wear shorter skirts (I have lean and have fabulous legs), have had longer hair, white jeans, etc. Break rules.
I think the brown leather in this look are perfect with the white jeans. But I have never been a fan of that sort of tunic top look, or dress over pants. To me unless your 6 feet tall it cuts you off and makes your legs look short.
Too much going on with her rings, phone, watch, scarves.
I love her boots, they look like my old Frye's.
Love her white jeans, love her dusty Frye boots, love the shock of yellow, love the rings on every finger but I what I love THE MOST is her long and purposeful stride!
ya no one understands how gorgeous white jeans are so they should be worn ALL the time!
I lvoe it!!!
That yellow peaking out gives her extra swagger.
at first glance i thought her legs were invisible
Is it for Halloween ?!
She has a very strong signature look with her wine-tinted lips. beringed fingers and heavy brown boots. I've seen her in similar outfits before. She does look years younger and much prettier with her hair loose around her face rather than pulled back so tightly.
Love the boots, couldn't pull off the white jeans myself!!
Love u Michela
White denim in winter rocks.
Love your blog its inspirational.
I think she looks fantastic.
She looks great! So glad white jeans in fall is kosher despite what my mom says. I have the perfect brown boots too!
Love her style and energy, and all the brown leather. Like the idea of white jeans, especially with leather, but am wondering if a shade of cream would pull it all together better.
Well done ladies. Keep on making our world worth living.
In a society which wishes to have mature ladies either at home wrapped in flannelet and pink sweat pants rotting before talk shows or wasting their bank accounts on poker machines surrounded by senile old gits, I take my hat off to the ones that are still turning heads on the street and daring to stay young.
*sigh* Frye harness boots… luuuv them!
Tired of "age appropriate" Know your style and enjoy your life!
I am 56 and wear size 0, have long brown hair. Prefer dresses/skirts-don't own dress slacks-plenty of lean jeans. I can dress "up" and dress "down" Attitude counts-know how to accessorize!
Less is more.
love this look!! fabolous
i love the shoes…not so sure how i feel about the rest of the look..there is only one person i know who can pull off white jeans.
LOVE the outfit, mostly the wonderful booties and great matching bag. Well-worn leather. but hate her make-up. that afwul lipstick and not-so-nice-hairdressing. ugh
The idea of dressing in an "age-appropriate" way is nettlesome. I think the key is, you have to know what works for you, period, no matter what age you are. And often, what works for you at 50 is a version of what worked for you at 25 — only in nicer fabric, with a better fit, more coverage in areas where you need it. For evening, less glitter and more glow — that sort of thing. It's a matter of tweaking and refining, not just saying, "I just turned 40, time to cut my hair chin-length and wear Barbara Bush-style pearls." Ugh! Who needs it? So while some people may say this woman looks "wrong" for her age, I'd argue that she looks "right" for who she is (whoever she is!). And each of us has to decide that for her/himself.
Now that's THE coolest lady I've seen!!! Those Frye boots are to die for and I agree, this look is so effortless. Perfect picture.
Parece o Indiana Jones feminino numa aventura em Paris.
Michela!!! (Gattermayer)
Yes! white with natural leather.
So tough to be a photographer. we are only as good as our next photograph.
She is wonderful, I woudn't change anything although I may not agree about every detail.Which brings me to ask:why is this the only blog that features older women?It is as if women "of a certain age" became invisible. Your blog, Scot, proves the contrary.If only I could take pictures half as good as yours, I'd start one for all of us 40+'ers myself!
So tantalising: of course it's worth the wonder for such a beautiful image, but the wonder is what is going on at the neck? There seems to be a flash of yellow – how to solve the problem of clahing collars?
Love the boots! Cool outfit, though she looks really busy!
one of my favourite style. Because we think about travel and freedom. Love the bag and the old boots. Powerful white trouser and roots is a trend.
I love the boots and jacket.
white jeans rock! Love the pallete ;D!
I always look forward to the pix you post of this woman. She is completely unique and has style, not a blind devotion to fashion. White jeans and brown leather are my favorite combo… I wear it year round in foggy San Francisco!
This is SO working for me! I Love everything about it not to mention it's a great photo. But I don't get all the age inappropriate comments – very disturbing. Who decides this and when ?! What is the cut off age? When/why must hair be short ? I don't see anything inappropriate here. Just someone who looks completely comfortable in their own skin and expresses their style really well. Apparently , if it were up to some of the readers here, Talbots should be the next stop for you Sister !
Scott, do you and Garance ever discuss this age inappropriate issue? I'm just curious about your take on it. Thanks. Great photo !
You don't see a lot of white jeans in fall. I really like how they brighten up the picture and how they work with the background.
I like the boots
Beautiful! She wears the white jeans well!
gonna give them a try!! =)
in love with the boots.
Love the rings! And I'm so glad she isn't sporting some ridiculously straightened ponytail sometimes natural is better and I haven't seen a real hair forever!
I am enjoying the way this blog has recently broadened its scope to include interesting looking people. It makes the comments section so much more interesting too!
The people making the ageist comments could do with a slap though.
I love my favorite pair of white jeans…I don't wear them in winter because of the old fashioned rule of my moma…so thanks to all of my Satorialist blogging friends I'm going for it this winter! My mind is racing with ideas of how to stlye them for the colder months. Thank you all for your unconditional attitudes…you make my world brighter!
white denim – white dust on boots – wow!
Have the same boots!
i think a pair of brown leather strappy heels would completely glam up this outfit!
only the boots!
Can we please kill that awful ageist (and covertly sexist) phrase 'age-appropriate'?
I don't like all the brown distressed leather (3 separate items!)or the droopy crotch jeans or the lipstick or the ponytail but this woman is so stylish and interesting and original, I like HER.
i love white jeans, if only i had nice legs
To MayKay who posted at 2.44pm, check out the Advanced Style blog it has some great posts of older women (and men). I'm not a fan of white jeans for myself but I like all of this, she's having fun and if she likes how she looks, that's the most important thing…
Hi Princess of Mars, I made a comment about the lenght of the hair for a woman her age. Again, I'm 63 and I have a very nice haircut, slightly wild and not too short. Otherwise I think your comments were Ă propos.As for pearls, they look GOOD at 15, 35,45,55, 65 and so on. One doesn't have to look Barbara Bushist after a certain age nor look as an ancient. Must one thank the hippies for that?I love all the rings this woman wears I just don't like the hair!
love the boots!
White pants in late fall…ballsy move! I think her look works though. The boots are killer, I would love a pair of those bad boys. I think her lipstick and jewelery help "de-summer" the look because they are darker and more edgy, and helps to bring an autumnal vibe.
Regarding comments about breaking age rules: I believe some rules are good. With rules, even those who are not interested in clothing have some guidelines to look appropriate. If you know the rules and feel confident about breaking them with style, that's fine with me.
Too many rings, hair too severe,looks like she got dressed in the dark. Wish I could say something positive about this photo. Looking forward to what you produce tomorrow.
On paper, this doesn't seem to work: The Frye boots, the distressed leather bag, the multiple rings… BUT, she MAKES this work so seamlessly and elegantly. The heaviness and lightness balance out so perfectly. She's fantastic.
Your composition is killer! Love the energy and movement (even the tired mobile pose looks natural on her– so candid this time).
I don't know why, but I just can't do white jeans. I never owned a pair and I probably never will…
Great mix, I love pants with the boots
This woman looks awesome! And seems a very hardcore Parisian.
She is not the average woman, for those "age appropriate" comments, for that she becomes a league of her own.
Cool lady.
The background is perfect. I would love to see her wearing butt-lifting jean, her hair down and with a softer lip color. Great picture.
Check out my site and let me know what you think.
Thinking of background that would present the product the best way. It's all about confidence.
Any ideas?
I love the white jeans. They're so fresh.
The distressed leather pieces are perfect; so is the simplicity of her hair.
Love the flash of colour too.
She is awesome. I love her. She's got her own thing going and frankly seems like an interesting gal.
I'm 40 and I am going to wear whatever I please but of course that going to be what I think looks good on me. … I'm going to cover certain things (no mini skirts please) and lots of ruffles seem silly. You don't want to see a 40 year old dressed up like a doll. But there are always exceptions! Betsy Johnson rules.
old enough to know how to break the rules! love the energy & purpose.
I do realize that dark blue jeans are a lot more boring than white ones but I really think they'd work much better here.
i can only hope to be that stylish when im older.
She obviously owns her look and is not trying too hard to be fashion-y. Whenever I see 'older' (older than what?) women with the nerve to have longer hair and I-don't-give-a-damn-what-you-think accessories and make up I get happy for the changes that we've made as a global fashion culture. Rules are made to be broken. Now the issue of whether one's choices are actually flattering…
i know her (from Pilates) and she is always very chic
She looks like Grace Coddington.
I'm around 50 and people constantly think I'm 10-15 years younger. My hair is long, but no longer as shiny and thick as before. When I go light on makeup, I look sick or faded away, but if I go even a little too heavy, it looks harsh. I think being more age-appropriate would make me look my calendar age, rather than my spiritual age. I wish I could turn back time, but I don't regret all those eventful years.
The young and beautiful can wear rags and look great. It is so much more challenging to look good as one gets older. I see here a woman of action, a woman with a life, with a sense of playfulness and confidence. Bravo!
As soon as I saw this photo I thought "here come all of the age-related comments". I predicted correctly. I also suspect they were made mostly by Americans, who seem to have the most unfortunate view of age, especially as it relates to women. Get over it! I think this woman looks great. (By the way, I am a 49-year-old American woman, for those keeping score).
I'm with Anonymous 3.22pm. We older women know how much more calculation now goes into looking well. Thank goodness, though, that we have been thinking for so long about what to wear that we have become very good at it! Example: this wonderful woman in your magnificent photograph!
The boots look like Fryes: beautiful, comfortable, cool as hell, and, from what I've experienced & heard, darn near indestructable. (Mine have seen 9 years of heavy wear and still look great.) Doesn't surprise me at all that a woman this dynamic, confident, and stylish would have a well-worn pair of 'em.
Michela Gattermayer is Velvet Italia editor in chief and is a great woman as well as a great fashion insider. We all truly love her
Michela Gattermeyer is one of the most visionary editors around. I had the pleasure of meeting her in Rome and she is an intelligent, youthful, open minded and hard working woman who loves what she does. Her style reflects just that – she knows who she is and she can wear what she pleases, at least in my books!
I am 45, and what is appriopriate for her it may not be for me, but please don't forget that we are alive and different, just like the very young. We still would like to have fun with clothes. She looks to me like she is an independent spirit, and yest you can still be that when you 50!
what style!
Funny-looks like she has invisible legs! Real cool lady she is, though! Always admire how a woman can wear rings on so many fingers!
this is an actual cool woman, not a contrived "I'm trying to look cool and take fashion so seriously" woman. love the white jeans on her. love that she doesn't give a hoot about anyone's contrived notion of fashion. YES MORE PICS LIKE THIS PLEASE!!
love white jeans…..just bought two pair of 501's last month in anticipation of my winter in northern california….with a simple unlinied 3 button long light black cashmere coat big boots & a thin sweater…..i plan to paint them silver when i'm thew with them……..
About being "age appropriate"… I think the fact that she is obviously an older woman IS what makes this outfit. Stellar.
Anyone know where I can get such boots? In Australia …
Where to find boots:
She look eager, Vibrant and just so cool.
I say wear what you like at whatever age. I can't imagine being restricted by a number when the mind energy is saying something else. It's the way you wear it, your mindset, your lifestyle and your attitude that makes it. So a twin set, knee length pleated skirt and pearls can look great on an 18 year old if that's in her soul.
In any case this look of good jeans and worn quality leather is style eternal. And I think white with rich chocolate –2 basic natural colours–will nearly always work but still be a little different.
The splash of colour and bold jewellery here adds interest and zest. Her hair makes her look practical and a go-getter which from reports seems what she is.
This fit is effortless,I'm lovin it!!!!
Edgy…on the go and unfetttered…Yes!
Would love to see more than I have of her please!
Love & Light,
la signora michela gattermayer … ottimo look
The rebirth of cool. She owns the street, the white jeans and the high ground. Super fab.
white jeans looks good with those boots! great shot xxxx
ahhhh…to be an older woman and not wear old woman clothes. and long hair!! she makes me smile!
Love her style, ease and confidence, the bright yellow and the battered browns. The white jeans are ok with this look. I wouldn't have had the fashion intelligence that she has used in this look by choosing white jeans to blank her canvas.
As a woman of a certain age, I applaud her sense of style and vitality – she doesn't CARE what you think, and that is what sets her free.
I wanted to kill my roommate when she accidently threw out my 15yr. loved Frye low
engineers, it was like losing part of myself – if they could talk…My 26 yr red lizard handmade cowgrrrrls were in the same bag.
The Horror.
She could never be insipid.
i love all of it but most off all i love the boots and the white jeans!
a force of nature
MARNI silk dress… 2006 circa
Is she Michela Gattermyer of Velvet magazine?
This is great for fall. I posted this (and linked to you) today on http://www.hemsandherbs.com. Thanks for the inspiration!
Big thumbs up – thanks!
Like the scarves. scarves are great!
Her face … Her face is nearly in profile, but still, she reminds me of Anthony Hopkins.

Please note: You are viewing an archived Bucknell University news story. It is possible that information found on this page has become outdated or inaccurate, and links and images contained within are not guaranteed to function correctly.
LEWISBURG, Pa. -- Jackie Denning was pretty sure she wanted to be an engineer when she started looking at universities four years ago. She also knew she wanted something more.
Many of Denning's friends in her hometown, Greensburg, Pa., were considering larger state universities and technical colleges, she recalled. Denning found the smaller liberal arts schools like Bucknell University more appealing.
"If you are in a class with 200 other students, you don't have that one-on-one attention," Denning said. "And you don't have as much opportunity to get involved in extra-curricular activities."
Now a third-year student majoring in mechanical engineering, Denning was the first recipient of the McGinnis Scholarship for International Study, allowing her to study abroad in Germany the summer after her first year at Bucknell. She also is a founding member of a club that promotes study abroad for engineering majors.
In many ways, Denning, whose sister, Rosie, also is an engineering major, is typical of women in Bucknell's nationally ranked engineering college. Bucknell has an exceptionally high retention rate among women engineering majors, who comprise 27 percent of the college, well over the national average of 17 percent, said James Orbison, dean of Bucknell's College of Engineering.
The retention rate -- more than 80 percent -- is one of the reasons Bucknell was awarded a five-year, $400,000 grant for 20 scholarships for women through the Clare Boothe Luce Program of the Henry Luce Foundation. Bucknell's Office of Admissions will match the grant with $1.2 million in scholarships, which will be awarded based on merit. Typically, scholarships funded through Luce grants are awarded to college juniors and seniors, Orbison said, but the Bucknell scholarships will be given to first-year students.
"By the time women are juniors or seniors, the retention rate is very high," Orbison said. "Attrition predominantly occurs in the first three semesters, and the Luce scholarships will help us better attract and retain the very best women engineering students."
Nationally ranked program
U.S. News & World Report currently ranks Bucknell's College of Engineering eighth in the nation among the 179 engineering colleges not offering doctoral degrees. Five of Bucknell's engineering programs also are ranked from fourth to seventh nationally.
Research shows that women look for university programs that are supportive of students, and they are more likely to choose a course of study where they can make a difference, said Karen Marosi, associate dean of engineering. Women also are drawn to the engineering programs at Bucknell because of the framework of the liberal arts university – which affords more cultural opportunities and the chance to participate in philanthropic projects and experiences.
Bucknell's engineering college is focused on helping students succeed, Marosi said. Students also have the opportunity to take classes outside of their majors and to participate in humanitarian projects such as the Bucknell Brigade, a relief effort for a Nicaraguan community ravaged by Hurricane Mitch in 1990.
"You don't get more classes in the liberal arts than at other engineering programs," Marosi said. "You get better liberal arts classes, and it is also the intellectually diverse community that you get to be a part of that makes Bucknell special. It's the activities you can participate in along with the undergraduate focus."
The College of Engineering also has a high percentage of tenure-track faculty members who are women, Orbison said. That number has tripled during the past six years to 19 percent.
"That shows we are serious about this," Orbison said. "We were ranked 16th in the nation in 2007 in terms of women engineering faculty on the tenure track."
Beyond engineering
Fourth-year student Laura Chernak of Rochester, N.Y., a mechanical engineering major, said the liberal arts framework has enriched her experience. Chernak has taken classes on Roman civilizations and dance anthropology and plans to study Shakespeare and psychology next semester.
The supportive environment also has made a difference. Chernak wanted to pursue a minor in biomedical engineering because she is interested in physical rehabilitation, she said, but she was having trouble reconciling her schedule. Her advisers connected her with a biomedical engineering professor, Eric Kennedy, with whom she conducted an independent study.
"He was doing exactly what I wanted to do," Chernak said.
Rosie Denning, Jackie's sister, said she tried not to let her sister's experiences influence her. But having a sibling at Bucknell made her more aware of what the engineering school has to offer. Rosie has had a similar supportive experience. When she had trouble deciding between chemical and mechanical engineering, Rosie talked to alumni and chemical engineering professors.
"They answered all of my questions and gave me a lot of feedback," she said. "They were very helpful."

In perhaps not a surprising move, Microsoft is expected to add 1080P resolution support for Windows Phone 8 displays later this year with the General Distribution Release (GDR3) software release to OEMs. Currently, Windows Phone can only support up to 768 and 720 resolutions, which while a marked improvement over its predecessor is still far behind Android.
The resolution will reportedly only be for displays 5 inches and greater, allowing OEMs to expand their Windows Phone offerings into the new "phablet" designs like the Samsung Galaxy Note I, II. That's also presumably done because supply constraints on manufacturing will also limit initial 1080P displays to certain sizes, though that will change in the future.
HTC was supposed to release a 'Zenith' Windows Phone with a 4.7" display but has cancelled that phone, at least for now, due to it being lower resolution than its popular selling Android devices. Pressure from Microsoft's OEM partners may have played a role in the Windows Phone team pushing this feature to the GDR3 release, expected within the coming months.
No word on what this will mean in the long term for developers, who will now have to start to think about new graphics for their apps and games later in 2013.

Are You Going to San Fierro?/Walkthrough
The following is a walkthrough of the Are You Going to San Fierro? mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
After getting to the "TT" icon, there will be a short cutscene. You will then be given 5 and a half minutes to burn all the weed fields of The Truth using the flamethrower given to you by him. If ever timer runs out, Truth will get arrested, and a failure will result. So, to make it quick, simply hold the fire button while you release fire. The Truth will work with you, but after about 1 minute, 10 seconds will give up. You'll be required to finish it while he waits for you in his Mothership. After the fields are destroyed, approach the Truth to get a rocket launcher (which he was going to turn into a lamp) to destroy the helicopter.
Use your newly acquired rocket launcher to bring down the chopper into flames before the time runs out. Ensure that it doesn't hit the Mothership or you will fail. In any case, when the chopper is nothing but old rubble, jump into the Mothership and drive over to the garage you won from a race with Catalina and Claude. You will no longer have the timer to worry about, nor will anything chase you. Just take it nice and slow to the red marker and it's finished.

EP2: OMG OMG this is 22 of the most awesome minutes of TV anime I can remember in years. The new soundtrack has amazing music, the plot pacing and sound design are top top notch, it feels like a it was 40 minutes long in a good way. Like literally about 10 minutes in I was like "that was an amazing episode" and then i realized it was still only partway through the A-part.
I don't know how they're doing it but they're doing on this one, I just hope they can keep it up as it goes.
Edit: duckroll you cried too huh? Didn't see it cause I was too excited to post.

This is going to be a great series, much like how Eureka 7 was before it. They know they have a lot of expectations riding on this one and Bones consistantly delievers on many of their series. Soul Eater is probably their lowest one on my personal ranking but ever since RahXephon, they've always had my attention whenever they put something out. The amount of planning and ideas that go into their series makes the wait well-worth it.

It was a great episode. Glad to see more of the cast. I guess we're getting closer to seeing what the characters want to do.

Marvelous! The music was good, and the battle scene was more than satisfactory. So they refer to Nirvash as Mark I this time around. I believe it was called Type-Zero in the first season.
I really like how supportive Naru is to Ao. The kid needs someone as an emotional support considering the kind of treatment he's getting, plus the kind of crap he just went through.
I wonder what Eureka did to incite so much resentment from the people of the island other than being a foreigner. As for the female pilots, they seem to be interesting... It was amusing how Fleur just played along with Ao feigning ignorance. If it was soldier from a regular army, things would've been more rough for the kid.
Agh! I wish I had a time machine so I can watch the next episode. Waiting isn't exactly my forte. ;_;

Your post reminded me to mention that the girls in AO are much more attractive than the girls in E7 so far, aside from Eureka herself .
Edit: Also, Naru's father mentioned that Eureka brought "pain and misfortune", as the translation went, when she arrived. It probably has to do with the Mark I appearing 10 years ago and saving Naru.

Ok let me break down AO episode 2 a bit more. This is the best episode I've seen all season. The people working on this show know their stuff.
The OP is very good. The early symbolism with Ao chasing the bird, being representative of Eureka, with the closing symbolism of the Nirvash chasing Eureka again to the moon. They're also playing up Naru's role such as Ao seeing her whenever he's in the cockpit. I'm also surprised they're adding helmets to the series when the first really didn't have any. I think they did fuck up on Naru appearing on Ao's helmet in the OP as the image should be reversed.
Let me start with the music as it's outstanding. The show is definitely playing a lot of string pieces and it works. The piece that introduces Fleur is amazing and reflects the playfulness of the scene, The music at 15:14 is a great victory piece and is in theme with the other string pieces throughout the show. It also looks like they have certain theme pieces such as the one right before the combat sequence when Ao gets in the IFO, which is excellent. I'm now wondering how many pieces they have left for the show as it seems they burned through a ton already.
One thing about the show is that it seems they're trying to play up the physics to a certain extent. You can see that in the first episode and in cases throughout the second episode. For example the heat from the jets burning away the tarp or when Ao shoots through the carrier.
Gotta love those cat ears.
They're doing pretty well so far with the characters. Gazelle isn't as much of a douchebag as in the manga and seems to fit the older brother stereotype. Ao has the sense to both hide the IFO from everybody but also pretend to be a victim. He shows resourcefullness, courage, but also humanity in regards to how people perceive him and his new hair color. He's much closer to end-game Renton in E7 and the show benefits from that. Fleur also surprised me as I expected her to be more of a bitch, she might be playing it up though. The little mannerisms Fleur and Elena had while waiting for the launch command was a nice humanizing touch too. All the characters feel much less like generic stereotypes than what I was expected and I'm very glad to be wrong about my earlier impressions.
It also looks like they're going to tackle the racism through Ao this time around as opposed to the Vodarac. That should be interesting as it'll be less of a sidetopic this go around.
This image here shows that instead of just making the IFO another humanoid mech they really are trying to add more surfing moves into the combat, something later in E7 that wasn't really the case. It looks much more like surfing than in the original series. The fight choreography is also very good and easily on par with the original series. The way the mech moved felt very organic to the surfing style.
Shit this is better than the original.

I don't know. Even with the eventual recoloring that was in the promo materials, it didn't look like the Nirvash.
