WEDNESDAY NIGHT TELEVISION
After Bikram yoga, I got home, cooked dinner and started watching my DVR.

US Open
The US Open was on my DVR and for a very good reason. The Williams sisters are playing in the Quarterfinals. Last time they played was at the final of the Wimbledon. What an exciting game that was and this match was no exception. Venus was up a break in the first set. Serena was able to rally and break back and force a tie breaker. Venus has 2 break points but Serena managed to rally and win the tie breaker 8-6. The second set was the same story. Venus up a break, and was up 40 - love to serve for the set. OMG, Serena manages to win 5 points in a row to stay in the set 4-5, and win her serve to tie it up 5-5. Venus wins her serve and had another break point to win the set on Serena's serve and Serena wins the point for deuce and after 4 additional deuce points, Serena forces the tie break for the 2nd set. This time around Venus wins the first 3 points and serves a double fault. The 7th point on the tie breaker was the craziest point ever! I was standing up and yelling for Venus! Loses a point and wins another one and Venus sets up 3 set points. Like the first set, she was up 4-2 in the change over. Like the first set Serena came back to win 9-7 tie breaker. This will stay in my DVR like the Wimbledon finals as it truly was an exciting game. I wanted Venus to win, but now that Serena is through, I have no doubt she will win the US open. The remaining women don't have the caliber, fierceness that Serena and Venus has. The match lasted over 2 hours.

DETERMINATION


PROJECT RUNWAY
The challenge this week was with Diane Von Furstenberg. She issued a challenge to make a design based on a movie Foreign Affairs. The winning look will be available to purchase by American Express card members and part of the proceeds will be donated to CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America). The winning look was designed by Leanne and its truly stunning. The coat hides some of the details and the back of the dress was extremely beautiful. Kudos, that's 2 wins in a row Leanne!
