Roxy’s Derby-licious Photo Shoot

Remember my 2-year anniversary pretty nifty photoshoot giveaway? Well, Roxy was one of the two winners and we were finally able to coordinate a session a couple of weeks ago. She is just the cutest little thing with tons of spunk and sass (two of my favorite qualities). She wanted a mixture of pin up and roller derby, as she is fresh meat on her Houston league back home. The ideas sounded great to us – my hubs had never shot anything in these styles so he was more than psyched to give it a go. I have to say that we had the best time with Ms. GrrFeisty – she even inspired me to give derby a go (I’m looking at you, Vice City Rollers)!

Double Trouble

Net and I have been friends since we were 14. I believe our friendship really blossomed during a Bush concert, when she yelled at me that I was a “BITCH!” from the stands (due to my floor seat status). Ah, comradery. We have been in each others’ lives ever since. We shared many laughs, tears, and at times, screaming matches, but my favorite moments have been the seemingly mundane. Driving through the city of Miami on chilly days with the windows down in my VW Beetle, having impromptu silly photoshoots around town, playing James Bond on Nintendo 64 in bed. Those are the times I cherish the most, and always will. And despite not seeing each other in a long time, when we met up for this fun photoshoot with the hubs, it was as if no time had passed at all. And that, my friends, is friendship. And I think ours really shines in the photos below:

Just add one more candle to that pretty little pink cake goodness, because Melificent is TWO today!

Wow, what a journey. It’s incredible to believe that another year has flown by, this one better than the last. I have had so many amazing opportunities, met so many interesting people and have challenged myself to be creative and dedicated. This little blog is such an important part of my life, and it is so humbling to know that it is a part of so many others’. The blog has grown even more in this past year, and I hope those stats only continue to grow. I love sharing fun, cute and interesting things with you all on a daily basis.

In honor of my bloggy birthday (cute, no?), I will have some pretty special giveaways and features coming up during the rest of the month. I did not want to wait another minute, so let the BLOGGY BIRTHDAY BONANZA (I just made that up on the spot) begin!
