Before I step one more foot into 2010, I figured I’d have a go at rounding up the colorful events, people and well-colors that shaped this past year. There were plenty of highlights, a few too many lows if you asked me and some media sensations that simply made you wonder “Do we all really have this much time on our hands?”
The year started out with the most miraculous feat in aviation since the Wright Brothers and ended with an equally heroic act in midair. We said hello to our first African-American President and good bye to our most famous African-American celebrity. We were entranced by some fictional monsters and duped by some real life ones.
From TMZ to Tea Parties to Tami Flu; Celebrity infidelities, reality star wannabes behaving badly, health care reform, H1N1 and the unemployment rate all left a bitter taste in our mouths. Luckily the cupcake craze came along and gave us a rush of sweet as we ‘tweet-ed’ our every movement and ‘friend-ed’ everyone we’ve known since 3rd grade.
The idea of beautiful was turned upside down as a spinster opening her mouth spun gold and a beauty queen opening her’s spun only controversy. Shoes that defied gravity, charcoal lipstick and Jade green polish gave fashion an extra edge- but even they failed to excited us even half as much as what Lady Gaga wore on her laundry day.
Michelle donned Lemongrass and revamped the White House, purples and grays colored our hip homes while vibrant reds and rich emerald lent a pop of color to fashion’s otherwise trend of dusty, blush-like hues.
Going Green gained momentum as we cashed in our gas guzzling clunkers and fought rising heating cost wrapped in our Snuggies. Stimulus plans were set to plant the seeds of new beginnings, while the darkness and casualties of war left us all struggling to find an end in sight- my, oh my -if only there were ‘an App for that!”
2009-a colorful year indeed…
Happy New Year! May 2010 be filled with colorful joy, good health and peace for us all!
