20 Reasons 2014 Was The Year Of Lee Lin Chin

Or "The Chin," as she prefers to be called.

1. This is Lee Lin Chin. She is one of the most respected news readers in Australian media. She is also très fashionable.

2. 2014 was the year of The Chin's introduction to the Twittersphere - and boy, did she run with it.

To celebrate 100 followers in less than a day here's a rare pic from my personal album. Miss you baby! #foreverlove

3. She dabbled with stream-of-consciousness tweeting...

4.

5. And hashtags became a thing for The Chin to engage with and explore.

6. She asked questions of her #massive #twitter #presence.

If God is real then why don't I own a fashion label?

7.

8. She shared her extravagant lifestyle...

Wow, woke up to more than 200 followers. Guess you get another private pic. Here's my date & I at last years Walkelys

9.

Guess I'll celebrate 300 followers with a threesome then. I can't remember these kids names but they were very vocal

10. Ultimately, though, The Chin excelled delivering her legendary putdowns.

11.

If you name your venue a "performance space" be prepared to declare bankruptcy within a year.

12.

"Why don't you love me?" - everyman who's ever spoken to me.

13. Delivering #truthbombs left and right.

If your job title is "media personality" you don't have a job.

14.

The only way to drink beer is in a wine glass with 3 ice cubes. Any other way is an insult to the hops.

15.

I've never had a child but I can confirm eating placenta has age defying properties #TheFeedSBS2 #beautytips

16.

As a single woman people ask me if I ever get lonely. Sometimes I do, but thankfully I'm on TV so I can pretty much pick up any man I want.

17. She offered advice to her lesser, fellow newsreaders.

Hey @Sandra_Sully you tweet too much. You need to leave the plebs wanting more.

18. Scorned print media...

Congratulations to @BenCuzzupe for being my 3000th follower. I notice you work in print media. Is it because you couldn't get into TV?

19. And told off Pharrell for his ridiculous songs.

I hate it when @Pharrell refers to my ass as a spaceship. I don't care how much you want to "ride" it Mister Williams. It isn't for you.

20. But ultimately she left this sweet, dangling promise of The Lee Lin Chinnel. Something that is yet to launch. :'(

Just 7 hours until @TheFeedSBS2 announces my new project 'LLC' aka 'The Lee Lin Chinnel'. All Lee Lin Chin, all the time.
