Wanna know your thoughts...

....on this article. I, for one, am naturally very thin and was actually teased about it as a child. After having my children I filled out and carry any weight I gain in my butt! I'm proud of it and the day I grew hips and filled out was a happy day for me. If I don't work out or eat right I don't feel good about myself, if I do then I focus less on what size I am and feel good because I'm healthy. I would rather be healthy on the inside and be a bigger jean size than be scary skinny because I'm not eating right or working out. Being skinny and flabby doesn't feel good to me. Being fuller and maybe more muscular and toned makes me feel great. So I think we should focus less on size and more on what you are doing to make you the size you are. Be your natural you, your healthy you and whatever size that is, so be it! You will probably feel amazing if you know you are doing what you can to take care of your might body and soul!

Now here's that article that sparked this:

Hairy tights

I just had to post this. Can someone tell me WHY on EARTH anyone would want to wear tights that make your legs look hairy?! Well, apparently the geniuses over at J-Crew had reason or maybe it's a stab at PR. Any how, here they are:







So so odd. I'm confused.

Me playing photographer for a day...

What're your favorites? I'm no pro, but man is it fun to exercise another part of my brain ;)

Enjoy!

Things I wish I could pull off...

Yup that's about it. Cool, but not everyday attire.

Kinda trippy stuff.

I feel like the worst blogger in the history of bloggers!! All these social networking sites are more like anti-social networking sites. So enough blabbering on my part. We wrapped the first 10 episodes of the show, and our ratings and reviews have been great. It's crazy to see fan-base be born and grow, it's really so cool to see people enjoying what you've worked hard at.

So here's an artist for you guys. His name is CHASE. Started out as a graffiti artist and is now world famous. Chase has been published in countless books and magazines, hired by Nike, Western Union and way too many other ones for me to even list. There is probably not a country in the world that hasn't been graced with his murals. Chase's artwork displays strong messages that aim toward light and life and one of his most famous quotes "remember who you are". I am lucky to call him a dear friend, and his big personality is just as touching as his larger than life art. I can't even begin to explain so just check it out on his site.

Behind the scenes photos, the cast meets Nastia Liukin!

So we were on set yesterday and got a surprise visit from Olympic gold medal gymnast, Nastia Liukin! You've never seen such giddy girls. Living and breathing gymnastics for 6 months, we have come to idolize her and all the other "greats". 

I posted a photo of it, and below are some more behind the scenes; including my gymnastics double and I. 

Inspiration at it's finest

I think it's about time I suggest everyone check out this photographer.

His name is Teren Oddo, and I happen to know him very well. He shoots musicians, fashion and entertainers/actors.

I am posting only a couple of his most recent photos that I LOVE so much they inspired me to post this blog, but his site has some equally inspirational stuff that I'm not posting here; so check it out.
