Leanne won project runway!
leanne and i were inseperable as kids. we danced together at colleen’s dance factory for years.
and we spent hours dreaming about being in the miss usa or miss america wearing beautiful gowns designed by us, teaching ourselves to back flips in her parents living room, and just being girls. good times.
so i was excited when my mom called a couple of months back to say she ran into leanne’s mom in town, and that leanne was living in portland. i found her email and got ahold of her. sure enough she was right over the river. a couple of weeks later i saw a blog post from a fellow blogger (she was in the pageant with leanne and i back in the day:) that leanne was on project runway! craziness.
we had lunch back in august, and i’m so happy to say that she’s that same girl that i spent so much time with. she even looks the same:) i wish that i would have known she was so close sooner, i’m sure she’ll be moving on soon.
her stuff is AMAZING! i want to take her collection she showed at fashion week, and just hang it all over my house. it matches perfectly:)
who knew that that little 12 year old girl sitting in her living room, drawing evening gowns with crayons would grow up to win project runway….it was meant to be:)
can i just say i’m a little proud:)
my mom and i found some pictures of leanne and i when i was home a few weeks ago.
don’t you just love those costumes?
congrats leanne!!!!
Tamar: I am so glad she won...and that you know her :)
Andrea: oh my gosh....I've been watching the show and I knew she was from Yuba City but I didn't know who she was until I just saw this picture of her when she was little...I totally remember her now! Craziness!!!
Jamie: Congratulations to Leanne!! :)
Viv: Leanne is awesome! What an incredible talent. Who knew that that little girl would grow up to do something so special? (probably her mom knew) I'm sad its over, I will miss seeing her every week.
Hannah: She was by far my favorite!!!! If only I could afford her stuff! Love these pictures!
