Leanne, however, put me to shame - check out her gorgeous wedding dress from last night's episode. Just glorious! Love the creativity, attention to detail, volume - its pretty much a sculptural work of art. If my life went into reverse and I had to chose a different path, it would have been fashion. Totally a hard career to pursue but my passion for fashion (heh) always makes me think "what if..." Anyways, there are plenty of great, passionate fashion designers out there I can root for. I'll stick with graphic design.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6Kuxi-UC1FQ/SO5OxyXlGMI/AAAAAAAAAC4/r7Berk9oFpY/s1600-h/pr_episode_513_pic_19.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6Kuxi-UC1FQ/SO5OxyXlGMI/AAAAAAAAAC4/r7Berk9oFpY/s320/pr_episode_513_pic_19.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255224432429177026" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6Kuxi-UC1FQ/SO5Ox1GQloI/AAAAAAAAADA/zM_dILhNgc0/s1600-h/leanne3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6Kuxi-UC1FQ/SO5Ox1GQloI/AAAAAAAAADA/zM_dILhNgc0/s320/leanne3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255224433161836162" /></a><br /><br />update: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_sold.php?user_id=5249055&order=&page=1">Leanne's ETSY shop!</a> Too bad everything is sold out :(<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7086803954098505923-374003161825770067?l=mayalee81.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maya Leenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086803954098505923.post-6207575274489509002008-08-29T08:55:00.000-07:002008-10-10T09:43:55.253-07:00My friend Dale sent me this strange, yet kind of hilarious, video of me and some of my old co-workers doing a hoedown.

OMG I rule. Time has flown by so quickly that I hardly noticed we were without AG for weeks! Well today Aaron stopped by looking all relaxed and happy and stuff (pssh! must be nice. jk! not really.) and I realized how much we miss our buddy *tear drop* I felt this special day was filled with such preciousness that it deserved a blog.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7086803954098505923-7548823673871947628?l=mayalee81.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maya Leenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086803954098505923.post-32857351004619440372008-08-19T08:49:00.000-07:002008-08-19T08:51:14.385-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6Kuxi-UC1FQ/SKrr0ny8CBI/AAAAAAAAACg/9dH1U7yBBis/s1600-h/602d1c9f3431b337557cead689d45254e9eb30b7_m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6Kuxi-UC1FQ/SKrr0ny8CBI/AAAAAAAAACg/9dH1U7yBBis/s320/602d1c9f3431b337557cead689d45254e9eb30b7_m.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236256806039980050" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7086803954098505923-3285735100461944037?l=mayalee81.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maya Leenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086803954098505923.post-89995329008785524142008-06-16T06:28:00.000-07:002008-06-16T06:45:20.377-07:00Following the success of our lip dub premiere, we decided to take it old skool with Skee-Lo's, "I Wish".  We had a bunch of fun and went all out for this one. Displayed are the talents of Aaron, Amanda, Lindsay, Betsy, and me. We plan to hit every genre of music and we'll only get better I'm sure!

Its a new track from my favorite band, Weezer. We forget a bunch of lyrics but for our first lip dub video, I think we rocked pretty hard.
