After Emergency! ended, Norell turned to screenwriting. He wrote for shows such as The Love Boat, Love Boat: The Next Wave, Nash Bridges, and The Magnificent Seven, among others. His screenwriting credits also include several made-for-TV movies such as Doomsday Rock, Three on a Date, The Covergirl and the Cop, Pals, Barnum, Christmas Comes to Willow Creek, and The Incident for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award. Other films include The Diamond Fleece, Long Gone, and Against Her Will: An Incident in Baltimore.

KMG 365, Cap. 😥

[waywardsoldier88]

It is with deepest sadness that I am posting this to let all the Emergency! family know that on 12 May 2023 actor Michael Norell passed away.

Mike portrayed Captain Hank Stanley in the show and was very much loved by both fans, cast and crew.

His family had asked that the news be kept private until now.

His obituary is at https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/michael-norell-obituary?id=52019510&fbclid=IwAR3c-s-sWm4LgdH7Kte063pV4-2ZwWG2d6je6jbq6ZHrgTeuZTWk33-_Rws

Well, I did it, folks! I finished Emergency!

I have so much I want to say about this show. First, I finally understand what people mean when they say they have a comfort show! I affectionately think of it as my Silly Little Show About Paramedics. I loved the characters. I love how it successfully pulled off episodes on the serious side, and lighthearted ones. And—this is absolutely not surprising—I adored Johnny and Roy’s friendship. There’s so much more I could say about this show, and probably will. I was very surprised to see how much content there is here for a show that came out over 50 years ago and look forward to becoming an active part of this fandom :)

It wouldn’t feel right to make a post about emergency! without mentioning michael norell. i hope his loved ones are receiving so much support right now. i teared up reading through the comments on his obituary and seeing how many people were inspired by his performance as captain stanley. i hope he knew how many people he inspired and continues to inspire. i hope everyone involved in the show knows how many people they inspired. this show came out 32 years before i was born and yet it’s become one of my favorites. i’m so happy it’s a part of my life. if you haven’t watch emergency! you absolutely should. and if you have then…watch it again. that’s what i’m doing because i’m not through loving my Silly Little Show About Paramedics just yet.

I was going to do some sort of ratings, but in lieu of that I just marked with a * books that ended up as new favorites (for fiction) or were particularly interesting or useful (for non-fiction). Not to imply that I disliked the others, of course. Something I actually disliked would probably not have been finished.

Roy and Johnny

One of my favorite whump humor tropes

Caretaker: This might not be safe. This might be a bad idea.

Whumpee: What? When have we ever had a bad idea?

A Brief History of the CFDA

You don’t know American fashion if you don’t know the CFDA.

Founded in 1962, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) remains a vital pillar of the American fashion industry. The New York City-based trade association boasts over 450 members across different segments of the fashion industry, including Tom Ford, its current chairman, and current committee members like Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Virgil Abloh, and Kerby Jean-Raymond. The CFDA organizes New York Fashion Week and hosts the annual CFDA awards, among other things. Membership is open to U.S. designers or designers based in the U.S. on an invite-only basis. Once invited, applicants require an affirmative vote by the CFDA board for acceptance into the association.

Fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert, founder of New York Fashion Week, the Costume Institute Gala, and the International Best Dressed List, created the CFDA to “further the position of fashion design as a recognized branch of American art and culture” and to “advance its artistic and professional needs.” Throughout the decades, the organization has also had an impressive list of presidents, from founding members Norman Norell and Bill Blass to Perry Ellis and Oscar de la Renta, who served two terms between 1973–1976 and 1987–1989.

The first CFDA Awards were held in 1980 to acknowledge and promote the American fashion industry’s creative talent. Known now as the “Oscars of Fashion,” the awards show quickly grew popular and replaced its predecessor the Coty American Fashion Critics’ Awards by 1984. Potential recipients of the CFDA Awards are nominated by the Fashion Guild, a group of over 1,000 CFDA members and industry insiders.

In 1991, designer Stan Herman and Fern Mallis took over the CFDA as President and Executive Director, respectively. Under their leadership, the CFDA grew into the fashion industry force it is today. Herman and Mallis relocated the CFDA Awards from the Museum of Modern Art to the David H. Koch Theater, a move that Herman would deem “more democratic” due to the extra space that the theater provided. Herman and Mallis also centralized New York Fashion Week under the name “7th on Sixth” in 1993. Prior to their organization in Bryant Park tents, where NYFW remained until 2010, fashion shows took place all over the city. In 1998, the schedule for NYFW was pushed to the beginning of the international fashion calendar after scheduling issues with Helmut Lang and Calvin Klein. By 2001, NYFW, though highly successful, became too expensive and unwieldy for the CFDA to handle alone, and was sold to International Management Group (IMG), which, along with other organizations, produces it to this day. However, the CFDA still organizes NYFW due to its ownership of the Fashion Calendar, a once-biweekly, subscription-based pink newsletter founded in 1945 to keep track of NYFW events. The CFDA acquired the calendar from its creator, businesswoman Ruth Finley, in 2014.

Despite their many strokes of genius, not all of Herman and Mallis’s ideas were well-received. In June 1999, the CFDA attempted to televise its annual award ceremony, an effort that cost $2 million. The move was criticized by fashion media due to its length, tediousness, and no-show celebrity hosts. Fashion journalist Cathy Horyn deemed it a “six-and-a-half ordeal of dinner, speeches, and wilting hairdos” in an article for the New York Times.

In 2006, designer Diane Von Furstenberg was elected CFDA President, while Steven Kolb joined the organization as Executive Director, a position he currently holds. Under Furstenberg, the CFDA began to focus on younger, emerging talent. Around the same time, the CFDA also started to take a stand against counterfeit product designs, with multiple designers traveling to Washington, D.C. to lobby for copyright protection on designs.

But the CFDA isn’t simply responsible for glamourous runway shows and awards nights. In 1973, the CFDA Foundation, the CFDA’s separate non-profit philanthropy organization, was founded. Amid the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the CFDA Foundation held its first “7th on Sale” event to raise money and awareness for the New York City AIDS fund. The initial event raised over $4.2 million and was held twice more in San Francisco in 1992 and 1995 in New York City. In 2001, the CFDA collaborated with Vogue magazine for “Fashion for America” after the September 11th attacks.

To boost retail sales during the Great Recession, the CFDA held the first annual Fashion Night’s Out in September 2009. The event, which was hosted annually until its cancellation in 2013, was famous for its high-profile celebrities (such as the Olsen twins), late-night luxury store romps, and alcoholic overflow. The impact of the annual event is still debated. In 2017, in collaboration with Planned Parenthood, the CFDA creates “Fashion Stands with Planned Parenthood” pins to support women’s reproductive rights.

In addition, the association actively works to nurture young American designers. In 1996, the CFDA started its Scholarship Program as part of its Educational Initiatives. Other awards include the Target/CFDA Design Initiative (f. 1998), the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund (f. 2004), and the CFDA/Teen Vogue Scholarship (f. 2011). Most recently, the Fashion Trust Initiative was launched in 2018 to provide grants and membership to upcoming designers.
