i can't believe that with all our talk about fashion that we neglected to mention how thoroughly thrilled we are that Anya Ayoung-Chee (my personal season fave) won the past season of Project Runway.  despite the negativity that she has had to endure because of her recently acquired sewing skills, this Trini did her thing!!   not only is she a beautiful west indian woman, she exudes her ethnicity and it is about time that fashion gives us the props we deserve.  Anya is no newbie when it comes to adversity; she admitted in one of the After the Runway episodes that she (and her boyfriend) had some personal sex tapes leaked while she carried the title of Miss Trinidad & Tobago Universe 2008.  it speaks to her personal strength that she didn't allow that scandal nor her bitchy competitors (he knows who he is!!) to keep her from destiny!  i am happy that she was able to turn everything around by winning Project Runway.  needless to say, i would wear anything that she made (except for that shirt she made for the dress the band challenge lol). go Anya!!
