Since de 29th of July I tryin tuh write dis post!!!


One day .... in July self .... my sister (who livin in NY) sen me ah text .... tuh tell me .... dat Anya Ayoung Chee gonna be on Project Runway ....

Well yuh know I had tuh reply ..... an' tell her dat she late .... cuz HELLO .... we in Trinbago had done know dat ahready!!!

Now I doh know Anya personally eh .... but I did meet her once .... yeah ..... yuh could say we had a meeting in de ladies room ..... last year ..... at YUMA band launch .... uh huh ..... me and Ticketmaster ..... like two groupie ..... jumbie de gyul in de ladies room ..... tuh pose fuh pics .... and .... surprisingly ..... she very willingly obliged ..... she was so sweet about it ..... my gyul jus flashed dat Miss Trinidad and Tobago winning smile .... and totally vogued out wit de two of us .... in de toilet!!! .... she even told me that she liked my outfit (which btw was a ratch outfit that I made wit two scarf) .... which was awesome ..... cuz how cool was that!! .... a hott young Designer telling me that she liked MY 'design' ....

Needless tuh say ..... at that point .... I instantly became her No. 1 fan!

So fast forward a year now .... and our girl on Project Runway! ..... wow ..... what pride ..... and happiness ..... fuh Anya .... and fuh Trinbago ..... cuz yuh know us ..... we like tuh see weself on TV ..... especially if is in America!

The show premiered on July 28 ..... and THAT is why .... since July 29th I tryin tuh write dis post!!!

Cuz did you see it ..... did you see her .... did you see her designs ..... did you see what she had orn ..... did you see her funky hairstyle .... did you see how well she handled Tim Gunn .... did you hear her very Trini accent ..... did you? ..... cuz OMG .... by de time dat show was done dat night .... I was gorn ..... Anya was already my favourite .... and not in no bias way yuh know .... I was just really genuinely impressed .... cuz hear what happen eh .....

Apparently my gyul .... see some tweet .... about how de deadline approachin fuh Project Runway applications ..... and decide tuh apply on ah whim .... A  A ..... lo and behold .... she make de first cut .... and end up as one of de initial 20 designers ..... so all ah dem struttin dey stuff fuh de judges ..... displayin dey designs an' ting .... when GASP ..... Anya turn reach .... and she reveal dat she now learn how tuh sew ..... as in .... about 4 months ago ..... well ..... wit dah one ..... Mr. Tim Gunn get up off he seat tuh inspect de scene ..... cuz brotha didn't believe dat is ah novice sew dem clothes dat Anya was paradin ..... de man say NAH! .... you tellin me dat you sew dis ..... and you only learn tuh sew de odda day?! .... yep .... Gunn was ready tuh SHOOT down we gyul yes .... especially after she admit too ..... dat she had get help!

So BRAPS ..... Episode 1 ..... de ting now start ..... and Anya causin lil drama .... cuz Gunn didn't want nuttin of it ..... as far as he was concern ..... it was a wrap fuh Anya before she even start .... tank de Lord fuh Heidi Klum who had obviously ketch Anya vibe ..... and who eventually convinced him and de others tuh take ah chance on her .... or else it woulda be crapaud smoke Anya pipe!! ..... she end up as one of de remaining 16 .... and the rest as they say ..... is history!

Which is exactly what I'm hoping for fuh Anya .....

Cuz altho some tink dat she playin dead tuh ketch corbeaux alive ..... wit de whole not being able tuh sew too good scene ..... there's no doubt dat Miss Thang have talent .... cuz she real lick-up dat first challenge when she opted tuh sew ah pants .... which ain't an easy ting tuh sew ..... and she keeps impressing me every week .... and yeah .... I said every week ..... cuz she still dey ..... ya huh ..... six weeks later ..... she still dey ..... an' hear nah .... if you see my gyul outfits tuh go tuh work ..... and her jewellery ..... and her hair ..... and makeup ..... and her general disposition ..... she never in no confusion ..... she just cool ..... everybody like her (well except Viktor who find dat she shoulda confess dat Laura help her sew ah collar) .... she articulate ...... when she hadda talk .... she talkin sense .... and she talkin it in Trini (Amen!) ..... again ..... she real talented ..... and focussed .... and wit all dat ..... she comin across real sweetie too ....

Serioulsy ..... I had no idea that this chick could do all dat she doin on dat show .....

Now it have real ting I could write about eh ..... ah whole 6 Episodes of ting ..... but ah cyah make ..... is too much .... so fuh now ..... leh meh leave yuh wit what I thought was de biggest ting tuh happen fuh Anya so far .... which is ..... her Episode 5 Maxi Dress ..... being selected by Heidi Klum as part of her New Balance line .... to be sold on Amazon .... now how HUGE is that!!!



Grrrrrrr ..... look at de price of dat dress!!!
