so true Mary.... I keep watching the video over and over again ignoring all the things I really need to be doing instead. I'm just drooling over everyone's fab outfits.
I have to ask... who is that with the rake in the "before shots" the way it pans from the bottom I keep thinking it's a pole dancer so funny!

Glad I'm not the only one for whom this day is largely a total loss so far, QM!

I think it's thimbelina with the rake, isn't it?

Was anyone else wishing that Angie would wake up slightly earlier than normal this morning. Not that I am wishing sleeplessness on her, but still...

that's what I was thinking mary... but it was hard to tell with the hat.
Fi... I was up at 5:30 checking in wondering why Angie wasn't up yet to see her present

I' m out of the house but still had to check it on the phone.
Wonderful video, the person who put it together deserves great praise.
This is a very special day and it's so good to be able to be a part of it.

Kim and Fi, I was up early, too, to check for the video. I turned on the computer even before I had my first cup of coffee, I was that excited. Kudos to Best Wishes for assembling this video!

OMG, just finished watching the video and it made me weepy. Angie, you and Greg should be so proud of yourselves... it says so much about who you guys are as people that you've become so beloved by so many people. It's even more exciting to me to have the chance to be a part of such a lovely community!

Happy 5th Bday YLF!!!

Happy Birthday, YLF! I've been waiting to see the video all day ~ took me forever to get a minute to get to the computer. And of course it left me a teary, sniffly mess. Thank you, Angie and Greg, for giving us this wonderful online community, and giving so much of yourselves.

What a great celebration! Happy YLF day everyone.

*Clapping*

Well done! Well done! Congratulations, Angie and Greg!

This was a work of art. Happy 5th Anniversary.

I was watching the video (again!) with my 8yr old daughter--she says--'Hey! I know them!! They Look Fabulous!'.
Awesome work Video Elf!

sorry if this is a repost as my earlier post got lost so far.

A big HAPPY 5th to YLF!

It's not just the chic fashion & style being shown & taught on this forum, it's the wonderful friendship and family atmosphere that is truly unique & precious. THANK YOU, Angie & Greg and family!

"best wishes", what a wonderful video you put together, and thank you so much to take initiative on this fantastic idea. I'm so glad to be part of this celebration.

Oh my - I am feeling a little teary-eyed here! Angie and Greg - there is no way to thank you two for the wonderful world-wide community that you have brought together - through fashion, fun and friendship. I am truly priviledged to be a small part of YLF. I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Love - Marley

Oh Yes - and Happy Anniversary!

Forgot to mention that we have all been sworn to secrecy as to who initiated and put this wonderful video together! All I can say is she is a very talented, beautiful, organized and special YLF member. Thank you "Best Wishes!" You did great!

My eyes are bursting with tears of joy and pride in this wonderful community of color and verve! Like so many others, I could hardly wait this morning to see our video and eagerly hoped for Angie and Greg's surprise when they saw it. This is truly a very special way to celebrate such an enormous gift of love that comes so freely to all of us from these two beautiful people.

Raising my cup of java to our video creator -- well done, well done. And Happy 5th, Angie and Greg.

I too am still emotional after watching it numerous times. So many good vibrations.

MaryK, QM, you are so right, to think that behind so many monitors there are people watching and being giddy and teary is overwhelming - everyone brought together because of the magic of this place.

Happy birthday YLF!

Congrats on 5 fabulous years and many more to come! Happy Birthday YLF!

Gosh, I've watched this video so many times that I can't get the lyrics out of my head. I keep hearing, for some strange reason, girls on pearls, girls on pearls.....

Such is the power of YLF!

That song will permanatly bring a happy tear to my eye now! x

*sniff*! I love these feel-good threads. Big hugs to all!

And huge kudos to the anonymous video maker

Sorry I didn't wake up earlier today!!!

Got to rush off to another client, but I am still soooooo moved. Have watched the video many times and cried each time. Very, very special. AMAZING.

Happy 5th, YLF!! Thank you, Angie and Greg, for this wonderful community and the support you both give daily. Looking forward to the next 5 years!

The video is great, I am honored to "know" so many wonderful, stylish ladies

Angie, you and Greg have created a really fabulous (pardon the choice of word ) website and community--this is definitely the warmest, friendliest online community I've ever seen. The first thing I did this morning was go to YLF to see what your reaction would be, but you hadn't seen it yet

An incredible video - beautifully done and really captures how special YLF is to so many members

Thank you, Angie and Greg, for all you've created and nurtured here and the wonderful community it has grown!

Wow, what a fantastic video!!

Happy, happy birthday YLF!! What a blog you are - thanks Angie & Greg. xx

Happy 5th Anniversary, Angie and Greg! Thank you for making such a fabulous, supportive site. Here's to many more years!

That video was FABULOUS. You all look amazing, and such an outpouring of love. Way to go, YLF'ers!

I feel so much love *happy sigh*

I'm also really enjoying the individual outfit posts used for the video. It has been an incredible day and we are almost off to celebrate.

Angie - what are you wearing to celebrate YLF's 5th?

Oh, yes! We need to see Angie's party outfit!!

This video is amazing and so fun! I have had Duran Duran going in my head all day! Thanks to all who made it happen! Happy birthday!
