The "Woo Hoo" Heard around the world

So lately things in my life have been crazy. There’s been some ups and plenty of downs but through it all I do my best to turn my nervous energy into funny energy so as to keep anyone who is listening entertained. Well today as I frantically run around my house getting ready for yet another move (and hopefully the last), I walk to my mailbox and pray for goodness to be inside. I put the key in and turn the lock squinting my eyes in fear of a giant bill-monster who is going to jump out and paper-cut me to death. The door swings open and I see something big…ok sort of big but when you’re afraid of what’s behind door #1 anything looks big. Brown packaging? Hmmm? What could it be? For the life of me I am having a giant brain fart. It looks like it went through customs and the return address is unfamiliar. I start thinking the worst, it’s thick…like paperwork…paperwork is usually bad….no no no, eww paperwork, noooooo go away big bad scary things I don’t want you! My hands are getting a little nervous as I tear open the envelope. Within seconds my frightened soul is instantly turned to something far more ridiculous than a little puppy who’s about to piddle on floor with excitement. As loudly as one can think without looking totally crazy my brain says “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”. Here is something I’ve been so excited about and has been very hard for me to not really say anything (I can’t be counting any chickens before they hatch) but I’ve been waiting for so long I sort of forgot about it. It’s the spanking new magazine called HOT NEW MINI which is born from the ashes of our dearly missed NEW MINI mag and guess who’s inside!? MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (insert me doing a non rhythmic version of the happy dance).
I plopped my butt down not even wanting to wait until I got back inside and start reading. As I’m reading I’m giggling and making silly faces like “Did I say that? Hahaha!” or “Hey I didn’t know my car was lowered!” the woman next to me waiting to sign her lease and move into our complex is probably rethinking the idea because crazy people live here. It was all I could do not to shove it in her face knowing she didn’t speak English and say “See that! That’s me! ME ME ME ME MEEEEE!”
So there you have it folks, I have my first official magazine spread and it looks sweet! I was a little nervous because I never saw a proof so I had no idea what it was going to look like. All in all they did a great job, the only major mistake was I didn’t get credit for all the photos (it said they were by me & someone else) which stinks since they are all mine and photos are my #1 passion (MINIs being #2) oh well, no biggy.

The issue has hit shelves, Borders has it for sure so I'm guessing Barnes & Noble will too!

As always thanks for listening and letting me share. My life wouldn’t be the same without all you guys! It’s funny but the MINI community is my second family so thanks. Here’s a sneak peak but go support the magazine and pick up a copy! (oooh my parents will love it!)

That's pretty cool your car got featured, so congrats on that, but something does come to my mind about this.

Well I notice your car is pink, and maybe that's because it's your favorite color or something like that which it completely fine, but there's that terrible stereotype that all women like pink cars. So I hope that somewhere in that article you at least touched on the subject and banished it as a myth?

I don't know if it's a myth or not...when I painted her I had no clue how many pink cars were out there(there seems to be tons). Luckily I'm not a girly girl so I do believe I mentioned that the idea actually started as a joke because I started wearing pink for the irony of it being my least favorite color then it took over my life. She's also more magenta so technically not pink. :p

Tons really? :XD: I've only seen two in person out on the road. I love the color, I just sometimes feels it doesn't seem quite right on most cars (most meaning not all, so sometimes it's ok :)) Anyways, thanks for responding back! :)

awww thanks...funny thing is, is I've barely posted any of them until now :P I gotta get off my as and post more. I sometimes wonder if people get bored with my MINI photos...it seems the general public on the net only wants nudy shots of chics...oh well...it never stops me from photographing the stuff I like :)
