Editor's Note

Hello Trend Hunters!

It's been an exciting week counting down the hottest trends in 2009. We've broken out countdowns for many different categories, including: fashion, design, pop culture, shoes, robots, hair, design, furniture and more... The countdowns were so popular that they drove an extra million views to the site so far... So check them out HERE. This week I counted down some of the trends on BNN, CityTV and Entertainment Tonight... so stay tuned for the video clips.

As we near the end of December, this may be near your last chance to check out our 2010 Trend Reports There's still an early bird special on that will save you a couple hundred bucks. More HERE

LAST CHANCE: Toronto Journalism Internships and San Diego Internships - The hunt for our next semester of interns has begun. Journalism internships are a big deal at TREND HUNTER Magazine. Rather than fetching coffee or making copies, our interns are the heart and soul of our publication. As a key part of our young, dynamic team, interns build 1000+ article portfolios and build skills that set them up for success in the wonderful world of publishing. If you are in Toronto or San Diego, check out our internship site HERE.
