Raise A Glass…
It says something when even a 10-year-old girl knows about Appleton Rum.
As it turns out, my landlord’s daughter is just as excited about the bottle sitting in my apartment as I am. While I can’t explain her interest (although I think she mumbled something about a recent trip to Jamaica), mine is totally justified, considering how good this stuff is.
It helps that the Jamaican rum company has Master Blender Joy Spence (the only woman with that title to work at a major distillery). From fresh ginger to champagne, she’s come up with series of cocktails that manage to make this drink taste even better.
Since it’s Friday, I’m sharing a few of them with you. Bottoms up! xxRebecca

Female fashion models who work with the designers throughout the season are also in the competition. Each week, as the number of designers dwindle, the number of models are also reduced, with one model remaining at the end. Models are randomly pre-assigned to a designer during the first challenge, and from the second challenge onwards, the designers will have an opportunity to pick the model they wish to work with. This usually happens during the start of every episode save for the first, with the winner of the previous challenge receiving first pick, and the other designers picking models in order through host Klum’s random draw of large red shirt buttons with their names stored in a black velvet bag. Though, there are times when only the winning designer will be given the choice to pick with the following choices: either keep his or her previous model, take the losing designer’s model Project Runway from the last challenge, or switch models with another competing designer
