Year in Review: August 2010

Posted by mantinew at 12:00 AM

I think August has some of the best events, photos, and posts of the entire year. I only added a couple of photos, but I will link to all of the original posts so you can see how it all went down. You know I love to give you the inside scoop!

1. This was my annual trip to the Hollywood Bowl for their summer musical. This year, Neil Patrick Harris directed Rent with stars like Vanessa Hudgens, Nicole Scherzinger, and Wayne Brady. How did they do? Oh, you want to read this.

Me and Melody Freeman before the madness begins.

2. This is one of the tastiest treats I had all year while I was working the Dew Tour in Portland. It's a maple bacon bar from Voodoo Doughnuts and it is a "must-eat" the next time you are touring through the Pacific Northwest. See all of my photos from the trip here.

3. This is in my Top 3 Favorite Outfits for 2010. I wore it to cover the red carpet for collidEdance's blink/drEam for Dance Channel TV. You can see some of your favorite America's Best Dance Crew and So You Think You Can Dance stars in the compilation video. Enjoy!

All the details about the dress and accessories are here.

4. Emmys Week! Gifting suites, celebs, many changes of wardrobe, and oh boy, the photo booth with Phil Keoghan of The Amazing Race.....delicious! Here are all of the details with Phil and me.

5. With the popularity of Mad Men, this photo of me with Kiernan Shipka brought a lot of new readers to Red Carpet Closet. I appreciate all of the new friends I have made thanks to Kiernan and this is still one of my favorite interviews of the year. Here it is.

2010 in Review: February

I had to go back and look at what I did in the month of February. I always have a gig in Chicago, but the rest of the month was kind of a blur. However, I have a lot of fun photos that really capture my month:

1. We were in Chicago and away from all of our significant others on Valentine's Day, but this was a really fun champagne and chocolate-covered strawberry filled evening with my pals, Melody Freeman and Ted Napolitano.

2. I finally got behind that door and found out what Club 33 was all about. It is a must for any Disney geek and it is my most popular post of 2010. What's behind that door? Unicorns, rainbows, and all the magic of Disney.

3. Chicago is the most enthusiastic city we hit with Toyota Live each year. We even gave away a 2010 Prius live onstage which was so thrilling, the winner grabbed me in a huge bear hug when she was declared the winner. I'll be back in February 2011 and hanging on the jumbo LED wall again.

4. This was the first infomercial I had shot in awhile and it became my first in a series of four infomercials that I shot in 2010. It was a great day on set with fitness expert, Jennifer Galardi. If you want to see the final results, wait for me at 2 AM on your TV or click here.

5. The Streamys "For Your Consideration" screenings were in full force in February as I covered the red carpet for Koldcast TV at the Fall of Kaden and Blue Movies showing. Here I am with eventual Best Director nominee, Scott Brown, of Blue Movies. You can see some of the footage from this evening here.

Come back tomorrow at Red Carpet Closet for a review of March 2010 with Atlanta, paparazzi photos, A Good Knight's Quest premiere and more!

Photos From Miami

While I was in Miami for work, there is always a lot of fun to be had in this international city. The night doesn't begin until midnight and it ends in the wee hours. I tried really hard to conquer Miami, but in the end, Miami conquered me. It was a blast, but I am happy to be home and back to my regular sleeping schedule.

Getting ready for a night out on the town......
