Damn I feel so old. Ha!
But there's no doubt this year went by fast and had some memorable moments.
I feel like going down memory lane people....
The Comeback
Before the movie hype around The September Issue, Anna Wintour was known as the Ice Queen of fashion and hated by many. But this year, this inside look into the life of vogue's editor's gave Ms. Wintour a new found respect. Not only was it understood her true power in the industry, but her firm strategic moves and decisions gave her a new found respect with a wider audience. Things like the Devil Wears Prada gave her greater fame, but this year, she gained Boss Status. The movie (the September Issue) itself was okay, but the events all over New York that month, the brought out the designers, celebs, models, and fashion's elite is what was really incredible.

Oh. My. Goodness!
I definitely chose this song for a reason. It has taken over the world!!
Oh. My. Goodness!I remember when I first saw the video and jumped up in front of the mirror to try the dance. Now, I'm not the type of person to actually do that sort of thing, so right away I knew the dance was going to be big! If I was even doing it, damn, the Beyonce Stans would go wild for it!
Girls (and guys) everywhere were preaching their single status and letting their significant others know that if they wanted it, then they better put a ring on it!
Crazy overplayed and now slightly nauseating, but this song was big in 09.
The Artist
GA GA Ooo La La!
Okay so this is both fashion related and pop culture related because I admire what a year Lady Gaga has had! One album. And how many hit songs from it?! Everywhere you turn, it's pictures of her outrageous outfits and her artistic performances. Our generations Madonna? Eh that's taking it a bit far, but for someone who just last year was in the clubs to now performing at award shows, Gaga has a great year!
Want your bad ROmance!
This category requires two 'winners' because this year has been INSANE for Toronto's own...
Drizzy!!
What?! What!? It's unexplainable. Congratulations, that's all that can be said. This man has so many hits! And not one single single album has been released! He is part of Young Money, a personal favourite group, and is on so may hooks I've lost count.
It's hard to think of him topping it next year. But yo, don't forget the little people....come back to Toronto and play a cheap show! His homecoming during the summer was sold out and tickets were around $40. And let's not forget the man does not even have an album!

The Fashion Statement
These dang gone faux leather liquid leggings.
They have been worn by everyone this year, completely year round, whatever the weather.
Don't have a pair, don't want one, but it has definitely been the tough edge to many outfits.

The Statement that Needs to Fade
Harem pants.
I think I'm over them.
Sorry to all of you that invested in a pair, but I'm hoping they're on their way OUT.

The Legend
It's still unbelievable he's gone.
There was so much death this year.
Michael Jackson will always live on in our hearts.
He was the greatest entertainer that ever lived.

The Store
Woo Topshop! Opening in NY this year (April I think?) was a gift from the heavens! Finally all of us here in North America got a taste of the European store so many are always talking about. Celebs from all over the States and Canada literally took plane flights just for this store.
Now if only they would ship to us online.

The Most Improved Style
Wait wait, is that the woman who a couple years ago was rockin the blonde pixie, gigantic heels and inflated boobs?
She's come far. Love the Balmain on her. Keep it up in 2010!

The Pop Culture Trend
Vampires.
Twilight. True Blood. And my personal new crack Vampire Diaries!

The Hairstyle
I'm not sure why, but this year so many celebs decided the half shaved head was the new angled bob. Keyshia Cole, Alice Dehal, Willow Smith, Carmen Electra and of course Cassie took the plunge.
Here's hoping it grows out nicely in the new year.

The Blogger
There are soooo many fashion bloggers out there it's insane, but this one in particular, Chiara from The Blonde Salad really sparked a lot of interest. She only began bloggin in October 2009 but has more than 1000 followers. She's dealt with a bit of flak, but has become one of my personal faves of the whole year. Check her out! It just goes to show that all a successful fashion blogger needs is to be a fairly attractive, wealthy, jet setter, with an equally attractive photographer boyfriend who can capture it all with high-def photos and videos! Haha!

The reality tv train just kept on truggin' this year . I doubt it will ever end anytime soon and MTV is the conductor. What's that new one... Jersey Shore? Oh lord, with names like "The Situation" and "Snookie" it's bound to become a hit. One show I was actually excited for was the Hills. Kristen and Lauren at the Speidi wedding got me giddy! But the season was a bit of a snore once Lauren left though, must admit. Justin Bobby & Kristen's romance generated some entertaining moments, but for the most part I think the Hills has run it's course.

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHARunner up is drunkin Kanye on stage with Taylor Swift.
Still so ridiculous!
The Scandal
Oh man, Chris & Rhi Rhi.
They certainly brought the drama this year, eh?
Oh man, Chris & Rhi Rhi.Lovey dovey, abuse, hiding, back together, court dates, twitter ranting, nude pics, volunteering on the highway, comebacks, jet skiing, teleprompter reading, interviews.
Damn that roller coaster would not stop!
They've both ended the year with new albums. Coincidence? I think not.
The Movie
I loved the movie Precious! I got to see it a few weeks ago at a friends house and it was definitely worth the trek in the snow.
Also, what other one's did I like... Inglorious bastards ("aree-va-dar-che!")!

The Accessory
Doesn't it seem like everyone out there has at least SOMETHING from the apple store, whether it be ipods, iphones, imacs, macbooks ect.?
OHhh, that's because it's true.
Hope everyone had a great year and here's to bigger and better in 2010!
Happy New Year!
