I was totally bummed when I saw that one of my "ex-followers" from twitter @jinnaboo had great news to share with her tweethearts in 8 days. I thought to myself they didn't call her. She's lying! Then common sense took over me and I realized they did call her. She had to wait until after the Thanksgiving holiday to share her good news and my bad news.
Fast forward life to today. A week or two into the blog off, and I am totally over the fact that I didn't become a finalist. I am still FULL TIME FAB. You know the saying, "Everything happens for a reason".
I decided to check out who the judges were (although the blogosphere leaked Wendy Lam and Bryan Boy), and what bloggers actually took my spot.
I must say, it must have been hard for the judges. The 9 they selected (1 voted by the public) are pretty talented bloggers ...and really cute! My favs are Kristy and Mattie.
I love Kristy's writing style and she has a great eye. She would make an awesome professional photographer. You can really feel how excited she is to be a part of the competition.
Mattie is a super gorgeous woman. She totally embodies the term "black girls rock". Her audition video was pretty good and her announcement video was even cuter!
So as I move "on to the next", whatever that might be, I send a huge congrats to all of the contestants. Good luck bloggeristas!
Check them out and let me know who your fav is?

wow!! thank you so much for all the kind things you said. i'm sorry you weren't selected as a finalist, but i think your outlook is wonderful. i know many wonderful bloggers who weren't selected, and i know straight from the judges how very difficult it was for them to choose because there were so many wonderful people to choose from. you ARE full time fabulous, because only someone incredibly fabulous would be so supportive and kind in this situation! i'll be following you on twitter darling and i look forward to catching more of your posts. and i encourage you to come and comment on my blog. each week i am choosing one blogger at random from the top commenters to feature on the sunglass hut blog. i just posted my first feature friday today. =)

No sorrys needed! I am just glad they really picked the best bloggers from the bunch.
I follow your FTF blog and I did see your Feature Friday post. (those illustrations are amazing!) I'm actually starting a similar series - Muse Mondays. Stay tuned.
Ty, my love...
Indeed you are Full Time Fabulous. I thank you for those kind words and I'm elated that you think I'm one of the best in the top 10. As Kristy mentioned, the judges did express how hard it was and their hearts go out to everyone who didn't make it - especially those who were so close. (#11, #12 and #13)
It's amazing because the competition drew me to so many other great fashion bloggers that I may have never found out had it not been for Full Time Fabulous. Out of so many exceptional bloggers - such as yourself - I am tremendously humbled to be a finalist. And I am honored to have been in your company in the competition and this is just a stepping stone...for ALL of us.
When I watched your audition video, I instantly became a HeyBellaBlog reader and plan on being a loyal one for years to come.
Cheers to us for being Full Time Fabulous!
xoxo
Awwh, you rock Mattie! I love blogging so much because of the relationships that cultivate from it. So I will never stop.
But good luck to you both. I'll be watching and cheering! (although I am jealous that you guys got an iPad, LOL)
PS Remember to have fun NO MATTER WHAT, life's too short!
