WINNERS from Season 8 of "Getting Ready" & The Cassone Channels Revealed

I am proud to bring you the winners for The 2010 Cassone Channel Honors for the Best of Season 8 from The Cassone Channels on YouTube. While season 7 was the Getting Ready series' least viewed season, season 8 was certainly the lowest in voter turnout. However, on average each category had about 35 voters. This, of course, was disappointing to me, but we still have winners - and I am proud of each and every one of them. Season 9 nomination will be announced on this blog on Sunday, October 3rd to round out this award's year when I will also announce all of the Sister Channel category winners.
