I hope everyone has an incredible and safe time tonight. As 2010 draws to a close, here are some Top 5 lists for you. It's been a great year here at
Red Carpet Closet. Thanks for being a reader and a friend. Happy New Year!
Top 5 Most Read Posts of 20101.
Disneyland's Club 33: I have a feeling this post will be at the top in 2011 too.
2.
Dos and Don'ts on the Red Carpet, The Sequel: What?! You didn't like
Part One as much?
3.
Publicity and Web Series: My most controversial post of the year, but it always draws in a lot of readers.
4.
Behind the Scenes of Mommy XXX: Well, this focused on Sony's web series about an adult star, Demi Delia, raising two kids. The series was shot in a very Osbourne-like reality show way and this episode was shot in 2009. Demi started to manage the mistresses of Tiger Woods, so I imagine the tabloid aspect of this entire tale drew many readers here. It is one of the most fascinating stories I have ever covered. Read the blog, watch the episode, and I think your initial perception may change.
5.
Behind the Scenes with Taryn Southern: This lovely lady had a great year, so I know there are many guys out there drooling over this smart, ambitious actor/producer/writer/host/singer. If you aren't familiar with her, check out some of her work, she's one to watch.
Top 5 Most Absurd Searches on Red Carpet Closet:
These always make me laugh, misspellings and all!

"Does (sic) and Don'ts for a Red Person": Um, hmmm, I don't discriminate by color on my blog. Anyone can mess up on the red carpet. I guess you were looking for
this post?
2.
"I want to see your peacock behind the scene (sic)": Okay, I realize these are lyrics in a Katy Perry song, but I don't write about Katy, peacocks, or
Teenage Dreams,
this is more my style here at
Red Carpet Closet.3.
"Kristyn Burtt piernas": I rarely write about the crazy things people put in a search engine to find me, but I remember my 7th grade Spanish. Thanks for looking at my legs, I think? I am not going to direct you to the photos, instead you can enjoy me
all bundled up at the State Fair of Texas. Enjoy!
4.
"Rachael Hip Flores boyfriend": Hmmm, I am not sure if Rachael has a boyfriend or not. I will ask her, but
here is my favorite story about Rachael in 2010 when she won a Streamy Award for
Anyone But Me. Well-deserved!
5.
"her choir robe": As a lapsed Catholic, I don't have much use for choir robes these days, but I did wear one this year for the XBox 360 Kinect premiere. Was
this the style you were looking for?
