I am happy. Very happy. So happy I am jumping up and down on this couch. No, I am happier than Tom Cruise on Oprah. I am as happy as that Japanese fan. I should be sad because of that headline behind you. But I am not. BECAUSE YOU HAVE WINGS. AND OH MY GOD I AM SO EXCITED I WILL CONTINUE TO TYPE IN CAPS TO ANNOY YOU/SHOW MY ENTHUSIASM. WHERE ON EARTH DID YOU GET THIS JACKET FROM? IT IS MARRRRRVELLOOUUSSSS. THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE RATHER MASCULINE ALL BUSINESS SHIRT AND TIE WITH THIS WINGED JACKET...GAHHHH. L.O.V.E. EVERYONE GET DOWN ON THEIR KNEES AND KISS THE ALMIGHTY CHINSTER'S FEET. YOU HEARD ME. DO IT.

ChinnyPea says:

"Lee Lin, oh, Lee Lin! You are back with a vengeance! Further cementing the fact that you are the Sartorial Goddess of all Newsreaders!

Here we are, little ChinnyEm and ChinnyPea, going on about the things with amazing collars that you used to wear but little did we know that "statement" collars are so "last year" to you!

We could hear you softly telling us with today's outfit that "statement" sleeves are the "now" thing. We have sooo much to learn from you. We bow. Humbly."

ChinnyPea says:

"Oh, Lee Lin, this is the sort of collar that we know and love on you!

Not as drama-mama as we have have seen before around your neck but I'm glad you're bringing them back, slowly but surely.

And that shade of vermillion! Woohoo! Suits you to a T!
I'd love to think that you've discovered our little "worship" blog and are wearing things that you think we love to see on you. Have you?

See you tomorrow on the Sunday news!!! xx"

ChinnyEm says:
Oh the colour IS divine! Are you mimicking the colour of Sydney's recent dust filled skies? Heh heh. I think we are finally getting the real you back. There is a tear in my eye! Keep up the brilliance Chinster.

ChinnyEm: Hi Chinny! Nice to see that you haven't been eaten by a shark, burned alive or suddenly decided to sell all your clothes (gasp! if you do, you know who to tell...). ChinnyPea and I nearly killed ourselves last week. Where did you go, babe?! Ah well, all that matters is that you are safe and sound and will be lighting up our screens each weekend from here on. I admit, I wasn't around to see your amazing return on Saturday butI did manage to see your brown number yesterday. MHMMM A HINT OF A DECONSTRUCTED COLLAR NEH?! And no lapel- just a single row of buttons running downwards! Bravo. I see you are trying to be all dapper with the addition of the origami folded hanky in the pocket too. Very nice. Very nice indeed.
Hey, since it's spring and all now, can you maybe put away the dreary brown next time and pull out, say, I don't know...something GREEN?! :) Then my life would be complete.

ChinnyPea:

"We have missed you so!!!!!! Welcome back! We felt so empty without you last weekend. And feared the worst - that you have left SBS without even saying a proper good-bye. We can breathe easy now!

Loving the overlapping collar detail. And the contrast-y buttons. And the embroidery on the 'kerchief in your pocket. Cute!

I really can't concentrate on "dissecting' your outfit today, Ms Chin! Still reeling from the fact that you're back at the news desk and that we have not lost you! Please don't do that to us again!"
