The 2008 hate

2008 was a rough year. I went from happy newspaper part-timer/billabong full-timer to newspaper full-timer/billabong part-timer and just when I thought I've found my career niche now I'll be back to newspaper part-timer/billabong full-timer. I've changed my health insurance 3 times (4 of you count the three months I was on COBRA). My boyfriend said he was going to move back to Maui in May to end up only coming back 2 weeks later to finish school then move back to Maui for good in October. I paid $60 bucks at the gas pump to fill up my '99 Camry. And the worst part was losing my dear Grammsy.

I know, I know, my year could've been way worse, and I am grateful for everything in my life that didn't go wrong. It's just that overall, it was a pretty crappy year. The year wasn't a total waste I did get to see Chris Breezy in concert, fell in love with Gossip Girl, went to my first Birthday Bash, voted for Barrack Obama, my Project Runway pick finally won, got a blackberry, saw HSM3 in theaters, and whoa did Lauren and Heidi actually have a civil conversation last week on the Hills?!?

I'm SO ready for 2008 to be over, only about 14 hours left. Time for a new year and a fresh positive start.

FINALLY

After five seasons, my favorite designer wins! YAY Leanne!

So Long, Farewell, Auf Weidersehen, goodbye...

to.... Jerrel. As I blogged before he was in my top three but, sadly his final collection wasn't up to par. The Project Runway gods have once again have cursed me because Kenley (that whiney, no can handle Tim Gunn criticism, all I do is party dresses circa 1950s) is in, I really hope she loses. I checked out Leanne's line Leanimal (how clever) on her website , some very classy, cute, wearable pieces. Of course they're ALL sold out and I bet prices will be doubled once she wins PR5. Yeah, I said it.
OH back to Project Runway, vote for your most memorable moments on BravoTV.com. here's some of my favorites:
Season 1: when Kara Saun tells off Wendy the Witch Pepper.
Season 2: "It's a mother f--king walk off." - Daniel V., The mystery of the missing chiffon, and Tim Gunn impressions of Santino.
Season 3: When Laura thought Jeffery was cheating.
...i really could go on forever.

PR Rundown

No not PR as in Public Relations (my useless college major, sort of not really)... PR as in PROJECT RUNWAY.

So I haven't been really following this season at all, it is until I got sick this past weekend (blessing in disguise? perhaps). Actually after all of my favorite designers from Seasons 1-4 ALL lost, I have been really hesitant to get hooked onto the show since then. My favorites by the way in order of season were Kara Saun, Daniel Vosovic, Michael Knight, and Jillian Lewis.

As for season 5, after watching just 3 episodes, here is what I have gathered... What is up with Suede talking about himself in the third person? It's like listening to Elmo, who does he think he is? And don't even get me started with Kenley... the girl doesn't take criticism from anybody, she ain't going nowhere in the fashion biz if she can't take the heat. My top three are Leanne, Jerrell, and Korto, with Leanne being my favorite. Here's a sampling of their Spring 09 Fashion Week shows:
(it's in order Leanne, Jerrell, and Korto.)
