The many costumes of this year

Indian princess. I made this one myself 

 Found the hair show video finally. I love fashion shows as it is but hair shows are the best. I have really long hair so I like to see what the stylists can do with it. What do you think? Would you ever do a hair show?

I didnt film this video! The one on my camera is much crappier. When I find out who did this one I'll post their info for you

I want to take apart an old video tape and make a top like this

This was the Aladdin group if you are wondering

Asiah as the new White Rabbit

Alice in Wonderland group

I had a lot of fun working Dew Tour like always. I got to hang out with a lot of my friends and watch them compete which was exciting. Asiah and Jenna worked Dew Underground and Murph got stolen from us by Ballpark. Speaking of Ballpark. My new friend Mario Saenz just won their rookie of the year award. Thats a big accomplishment for a first time skater (first time at Dew Tour anyway). Of course Ryan was there and I am glad he did well but I secretly hoped Chaz would win the cup this year....and he DID! He has come such a long way from when I first met him. All the girls at Untamed are really happy for our friends and cant wait to see them next year. Pictures of SLC Dew stop. Vegas Finals pics coming soon!

trying to pretend we arent posing with something wildly inappropriate

in our defense it sort of looked like a modern lamp in the dark...

There is nothing I love more than taking off on a whim and finding new places. Brooke and I had the itch to get out of town so we took off on a roadtrip to cross a few things off our lists. I wanted to go to the indian res and get a tour from a local and Brooke wanted to see the grand canyon. I usually go on these trips alone so I was a little skeptical when she said she was ready to go the next day. We both went to our rooms and started packing. The next morning as we were putting things in the car I was just waiting for her to say "this is kind of crazy. I think I'll stay here", but she didnt. "I'm serious" I said as I put my stuff in the car. "Me too" was all she said. Then we were driving and we were a few cities away from home. "I'm not turning around, this is for real" I told her. She just laughed and said "I know". After about a half hour of driving we finally started beliving each other. We drive like maniacs but its fun. We just stop whenever we see something we want to take a closer look at. I like it so much better than structured trips when you have to eat at a certain time and cant take any detours. You cant stop to take pictures if you see some crazy  sombrero stand on the side of the road....unless your on a trip like this one. In the desert we were having fun driving down the middle of the road just because we could. There is nothing/no one for miles and miles out there. We were both going 90 or more almost the whole time we were in the desert. We had so much fun out there! We went to visit our uncle on the res, went off roading, made pots with a hippy, broke into the grand canyon, haggled our way into the four corners, hiked to a volcano, held tarantulas, had some fun in the pawn shops, hunted for dinosaur footprints, found bedrock, got a speeding ticket in a stupid small town, and a bunch of other things. I wrote it all down in my road journal but dont have time to type it up right now. Maybe later. Until then enjoy some pics.

We like to wear disguises and ridiculous things occasionally so thats why I have the wig. Brooke was wearing an indian headdress but she wont let me post pics :-/

I ended up working for a program called Read Naturally that helps kids learn to improve their reading skills. After doing that for a few weeks I got pretty attached to the kids. I learned that many of them were considered "problem" children. Most of the teachers didnt want to deal with them and had no patience at all. It really bothered me that people were calling them bad kids and sending them to the in school suspension room every single day. They just wrote them off. I started volunteering as a teachers assistant so I could work closely with the kids. I was scheduled to work in the cafeteria with them at lunch and go out with them at recess. It gave me time to talk to them more and find out why they acted the way they did. Most of them just felt unwanted and had decided they might as well be bad since nobody bothered to try and teach them anything anyway. It frustrates me when teachers do that. They tell their students they are bad kids and then never expect anything more than that. With a little attention and guidance I was able to teach them all sorts of things and getting them to do assignments for me above and beyond what they were doing in class. I really wish more people would make an effort to help keep kids like this from slipping through the cracks. They are not bad kids they're just misunderstood.

Ok I didn’t tell you guys this but I sort of have this little crush going on. I met a guy at an airport a while back and he seemed really cool. He doesnt remember Well I later found out he’s kind of got his own film thing going on. I swear I must have an internal compass that’s leads me to all men somehow involved in entertainment. :-/ So anyway, I support his work but I’m not like an uber fan or anything. I have been intrigued and now I want to get to know if this guy is really everything he’s putting out there. Since he has a ton of drooling girl fans I have to do something to get his attention. So this is where my great plan came into play. This oh so wonderful plan involved a little hitch hiking, some celebrity stalking, and a near addition to my ever growing mischief list with the police.

This particular guy likes Bob Dylan and just my luck Mr. Dylan was going to be playing Park City.I decided I was going to get him something from Bob Dylan since his birthday is coming up.  I tried to be well behaved at first. I applied for every volunteer position they had. Positions were full. I then tried winning tickets on the radio. Well that didn’t work either. This left me with less  options. I planned to sneak backstage at the concert and work my way from there. The day of the concert I got up bright and early…ok noon but who’s keeping track? As soon as I went to start my car I learned that Sky is more of a goody two shoes than I thought he was. I guess he wanted no part of my delinquent behavior. I had no car but I was not about to let that discourage me. I hitch hiked my way to the concert with some random bikers headed to a different concert at a park city club. When I finally got there I worked some of my magic to score some credentials (I cant tell you how I did this because they would figure it out if everyone started doing this and I wouldn’t be able to sneak into things like I do). Even with the badge I wasn’t getting the access I needed but I did the best I could. I got into some talent areas (with some serious sneaking, and flirting! Only to find out that I was in the room with the opening band not Bob Dylan!!! The Dough Rollers were very nice though. They couldn’t get me to Bob Dylan but they said if they talked  to him they would pass along my request/message. It was time to go and I was bummed that I hadn’t got to see him. A few weeks later I got a letter. Maybe it was from Bob Dylan, maybe it was from the Dough Rollers, or maybe it was just junk mail….. stay tuned to find out

I cant post anything yet because he hasnt had his birthday yet but I will post pictures and updates as soon as I can.

 Last night was a lot of fun. Untamed got invited to an exclusive film gala hosted by a lot of the people from Sundance. We super excited to have the opportunity to go to such a fancy party and of course to have access to such great networking. The Film commission just bought a new property for unspeakable amounts of money and were kind enough to invite everyone out to see it first hand. The property was unbelievable! The house itself reminded me of twilight because of its floor to ceiling windows. The house is up on the hill so you could see all of the lights in Salt Lake glittering below. Nate Keller and his band performed and there was a private movie showing. Cant wait til everyone gets to see the movies this year. I think there are some you will really like. My favorite part of the night was the food...of course lol The caterers went all out. I havent had such good food in a really long time. After a tour of the house (which had more than one "to-die-for" closet) we went outside and were admiring the cars in the driveway. Steve was such a sweetheart that he let us climb inside for some pictures. He offered to take us for a drive but we had to go Next time though I will definintly be there. Here are some pictures from the event.

Dance room. It had a shower and sauna in there

As always here is my top 10

*For the record if you type hot guys into google it'll pull up almost all dark haired guys...just sayin

                                                                 Things I find attractive

*Good with his hands and creative- Something about guys who can build things or just pick things up and figure them out is so attractive. I mean, the kid in the neighborhoorhood that was building the treehouse and go karts and later on knows how you can fix your leaky faucet. I am very drawn to whats new and unkown. I soak things up like a sponge so having someone around thats a little strange keeps things unexpected and also gives me plenty to learn. I feel closer to guys that have something useful to teach me.

Ultimate example of this: Jamie Durie. Look how adorable! I just want to make him a sandwich or something lol

*Well mannered and caring- Manners are a must!!! I'm not to big on guys getting my door for me but I'll tolerate it. I draw the line there though! Dont get my chair and definitly DO NOT try to cut my food for me or feed me. I'm more concerned with how he treats other people. How you treat the server at dinner will make or break you with me. Any guy thats rude to the server is done right there. I like guys who are concerned about others and do what they can to help and who dont do embarassing things in public like yell at customer service or have major road rage and honk at everyone walking past. Thats an instant turn off for me.

He seems like a very well mannered  polite sort of guy. Maybe its the suites he's always wearing...or maybe its the dimples

* Family oriented-I'm very close with my sisters and I would hope that any guy I dated would have to be ok with that. When guys have good relationships with their siblings I find it very attractive....as long as its not over the top, creepy closeness. Oh and when I say family oriented I do not mean wants to have kids! I dont want to give birth to any kids.
                           

                                                                    Everyone knows Usher loves his fam

*talent-I'm such a sucker for a talented guy. It will be the death of me yet. I'm pretty sure any guy could at least score a date with me just by showing me his talents. It can be pretty much anything and as long as you love it and your good at it I would give you a chance. lol I shouldnt be telling you guys this one. No using it against me!

                           Talent is attractive, but b-boys are especially hot!!! (Stomp the yard)

* hard working and a leader- I tend to naturally be drawn to the one leading the group around. The alpha male, not in a controlling dick way but just in the natural leader type of way. I dont mean to but it just happens everytime. Guys who are lazy, yell at their supervisors and coworkers, and skip work annoy me. I am attracted to guys who work hard and do their best even if they dont always like the job. My job is very important to me. Its a huge part of my life and I take it very seriously so It's attractive to me when a guy is the same way.

   The only lighter haired guy I have ever found attractive...wait make that 2nd guy 

* adventurous-I'm suppppeerr paranoid about a guy tying me down or holding me back from what I want to do because that has happened to me so many times in the past. I'm not looking for a partner to settle down with. That dream girls seem to have about a house and white picket fence with 2 kids and a dog sounds like a picket fence prison to me. I want a partner in crime that will go on adventures with me not stop me from doing them. I would say thats what I am attracted to but since I have never met anyone like this I have to stick to saying this is what I would be attracted to if I could find it.

I dont know if John Stamos is exactly "adventurous" but he rode a motorcycle and was in a rock band so we can pretend

* secure but not concieted- I'm quite independant so a guy that is secure with himself and our relationship is very sexy to me. It shows me that he trusts me and that he isnt going to turn into a whiney clinger or a control freak.

Channing is pretty secure with himself. Borderline concieted sometimes but still good

* sense of humor and easy to get along with- Sense of humor is important. You wouldnt think so, but it is. I mean if a guy can make me laugh I am insanely more attracted to him. But what he thinks is or is not funny is a huge deal. I mean if he thinks bathroom humor, cruel, racist, or vulgar jokes are funny then its a turn off. It makes people uncomfortable and makes me feel stupid for being with him. Guys who share a similar sense of humor are hot.

                               
      Ok so he's not being very goofy here but still hot. I < Shia

* Non-romantic-Romantic to me =trying to hard and insincere. I'm attracted to guys that are real. They just say how they feel and dont sugar coat things or try to follow along in the girls lame attempt at a fairytale. They are genuine, down to earth and fun. The little things in life make me happy. Simple things that most people dont even realize they are doing.

                       
I'm not saying Ryan isnt romantic. He's just not romantic in the "I bought you flowers and a giant teddy bear" sort of way. He is a little more humorous about it and thats cute.

*restless-Maybe the better word is adaptable? I dont know how to explain this one exactly. I need constant change. I could never pick just one career and stick to it my whole life, I cant learn just one subject, and I dont want to do the same things over and over. He would have to constantly be going after new things and not be satisfied with getting buried in the dumb day to day stressful stuff. Guys who can go with the flow or better yet start off in new directions from time to time are exciting and attractive.

No picture because I dont think this guy truely exists, but if you happen to find one that thinks he fits this description send him my way

There you have it. My twisted little list

I also love dark hair. Thats not a quality so it didnt make the list but I thought it was worth noting
   

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

I got into tagging a while ago because of one of my roomates and he got me addicted to this site called art crimes. There is literally tagging and graffiti from all over the world on there. Banksy pops up a lot... shocker right? I like his art because he posts things that are humorous and a lot of times controversial. Last year he came to Sundance and I was super excited! Nobody else knew or cared who he was I'm hoping that being on the Simpsons will help people gain a little more recognition. Known or unknown I love Banksy and always will. Here is his opening for the show
