Most Quirky Optimist Goes To…

Leslie Hall and Her Gem Sweaters – Be Sure To Check Out Her First TV Appearance

This girl is certifiable. When she feeds the french fries to the picture, I about lose it–Oh and when she says, “You’d be surprised how many people are afraid of a lady in a gem sweater. Kudos for having the wherewithal to create something totally utterly uniquely quirky and that alone merits “An Optimist”.

The Best Optimistic Series With Ensemble Cast Optimist Goes To: Alyssa Price for her performance of Andie Mills, the razor-sharp dimwitted blonde whose unbridled optimism in infectious and as effective as Goldie Hawn or Suzanne Somers.

Alyssa Price AKA our 2009 Friday Girl on the 5awesomeoptimists ANDIE MILLS is the mastermind razor sharp deliberate dimwit with unbridled optimism in this series of hilarity. I dare you not to laugh. Her clever, creative, fresh and innovative clips showcase her talent. The ensemble inanimate cast of Mocha Bunny, Panbo, Babs, Chai Chai, Herman, (an old TV) along with her real cat Stussi will have you in stitches. Her numerology reports will have you look at numbers in an entirely new way from now on. Enjoy!

NOTE: There are 12 Videos in this series playlist. Use the side arrows to navigate through all of them, they are hysterical.

And “The Optimist” for The OVERFLOWING CUP half-filled twice goes to:

Michael Buckley of the WHATTHEBUCKSHOW special feature Buck Factor where he highlights other YouTube channels worth watching. The video below is where he mentions our channel, 5awesomeoptimists in the first minute.

The nod from YouTube Royalty Michael Buckley was a welcome honour and surprise. I don’t know how he found us, but his unsolicited accolade is how I found him. His unselfish generosity exhibited in his Buck Factor Series, upbeat style, and smile to light up anyone’s screen is how he got my vote for his coveted OPTIMIST Award.

And “The OPTIMIST” for best supporting optimist goes to : Sarah Bull and BiggyDman for filling in and stepping up to the plate in a pinch.

What a cutie pie SarahBull is. I love how she wrote in the sand and took us all to the beach with her. Truly, staying close to nature is a wonderful way to grow one’s optimism.

BiggyDman wears many hats, literally! He is an optimist, a preacher, and a great friend, not to mention a great character actor. We are always graced when he makes an appearance on the 5awesome optimists.
