ChinnyPea says: "It feels like ages since you've graced our TV screens, Lee Lin! Glad to see you back!
With new glasses! Those frames are new, aren't they? And you've done something to your hair too! Maybe it's the studio lighting but it looks like you've got a new colour rinse! Your hair sure looks like it's got a warmer tone compared to your usual virgin silver-grey."
ChinnyEm: "HI LEE LIN! I'VE MISSED YOU HEAPS! I GOTTA CATCH UP ON ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS YOU'VE WORN IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS! I don't know how I survived without you either!!! Here's a quick suggestion- WEAR THIS TOP!!!! Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a dictatorial VOGUE page but Kate Bolzonello's RMIT grad collection featured things that wouldn't go amiss on you Chinny! This top was definitely made for you!!!
ChinnyPea says: "Now which jacket of yours have you turned inside-out again?!
I love the details on this one. The lines of stitches and trims look like a very abstract representation of the human skeleton. Show us more the insides of your jackets!"
ChinnyPea says: "You almost had me fooled, Lee Lin! Haha. I thought you got yourself a new black jacket at first glance but it's actually this vest worn over more black. Cunning."
ChinnyPea says: "GRRRR! GRRR! GRRR! SBS has taken Saturday's news segment off their website again! Before I can do a screengrab of you. How very very grrr-some!
On to happier things...happy to see that you've decided to wear our favourite broderie anglaise jacket with something white today!
A contrast to all the Halloween-black that's floating around? Or inspired by the recent Dolce & Gabbana all-white collection? I was so happy when I saw that show! You know how much I go on about loving white. Nice to see that designers are giving the non-colour colour the attention that it deserves."
You captured my love with your coloured frames, complete reinvention of the newsreader jacket and penchant for the avant garde. I can only imagine what lies behind that news desk. I assume it's not pajamas. Or you going commando. Oh dear god, you'd probably have amazing choice in undergarments too. I'm going too far? Well of course, I'm only one of your two biggest fans... Much love and fangirly squeals, xoxoxoxo Em
Another Love Letter To Lee Lin
It was those over-the-top architectural collars and wonky necklines on some of the pieces that you wear that got me hooked on watching the news. Well, you reading the news. In a world full of badly- or safely-dressed newscasters, those mesmerising bits around your neck are oddly refreshing. Not at all distracting like what lecturers in Television 101 wanted us to believe. Does a wardrobe mistress at SBS pick what you wear or do you "dress" yourself? Or is it a combination of top-notch taste from all involved? But it's not really important as long as you and the Frank Gehry-like "structures" keep making your appearances. Always looking forward to your next read...and collar, xx Pea (with more love and much shriller fangirly squeals)
