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."
ChinnyPea says: "Ooooooh! A new addition to your wardrobe! This checked blouse in a rich plum juicy colour! I like!
The subtle gradation in the colours reminds me of the Japanese shiboridyeing method. But I think the checks are woven into the fabric, right? I mean, to achieve such perfect straight lines and boxes with shibori, whoever made that piece of textile would have to be a grand master!"
ChinnyPea says: "I need to whinge a little first: What's up with the SBS website, Lee Lin?! I went to grab a picture of you from last Sunday and they've taken the whole news segment down?! But kept the those from the weekdays. Bah!
We've used "Silverado Sunday" before when you last wore this jacket. I know. But the same jacket deserves the same post title?"
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)
