Who would make your 'put together' list?

     In today's Spotlight section, we detailed the life of WGRZ anchor Jodi Johnston, and labeled her as one of the most put-together women in Western New York.

     We also suggested a few other names for that list. These are somewhat high-profile people, like Clotilde Dedecker at the Community Foundation, UB administrator Marsha Henderson, and Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples.

     But we know that you probably know a few immaculately put-together women yourself. You know, those people who always look and act perfectly polished -- no matter what the circumstances. And with little visible effort.

  So we're throwing the question out there. Who would you put on this type of list?

Umm, Charity, have you been watching too much E! channel again? There's a reason why I read the News and not People magazine -- to avoid silly and sexist questions like this (have you asked which prominent males are "put together"?).

I felt for Jody Johnston. Here she has put great effort into her career and the main focus is on how "put together" she is rather than on whether she is competent at her job. A deeper analysis would include looking at why she hasn't had major offers from a Top 20 market. Is it her lack of a more extensive reporting background? Is it because 35 is starting to be considered "old" to move up as a newscaster? I honestly don't know the reason and would be interested in learning why.

I have rewritten this comment 10 times so that I don't sound critical. I love Jodi on TV, and she's obviously a loving, adoring mom, so I was shocked to read about her schedule in the article. She leaves home every morning at 4 a.m. and comes home around 8 p.m., an hour before her own bedtime! When does she see Max? I felt sad to read that. I'd feel like a prisoner living like that. God bless, Jodi, and gentle encouragement to rearrange your work life to give you a bit more home life, if that is something you think you'd like. As an older mom, I have found that kids need mom and dad more as they get older...not less. You'll want to be home after school or at least at dinner time during the elementary and middle school years. You'll want to watch him play sports. And the high school kids whose parents are never home...that's just never a good thing.

Jodi is a good presenter of the news - friendly and chatty. But tell me the last real news story she's covered.
And the spacious columned home in tony Briercliff, Louis Vuitton bag, and black BMW -- please spare me these details.

With the exception of Jodi and Susan Banks, none of the women you mentioned would be considered attractive, or put together in most peoples' opinion...Is Buffalo really that small that these were the only women you could find? If they are attractive i'm scared to see what unattractive is
