A Few Things

*New layout. I wasn't digging the old one, so I replaced it.

*If you read this blog and you are a member of blogger, please follow Gym Chat! All you have to do is go to the bottom of the page and click the link that says "Subscribe to Posts". I'd kinda like to know who is reading this (so, uh... cough cough... a comment now and then would be nice too!)... besides my awesome reader Kate, who has commented like, 15,000 of my posts. Hehe.

*Continue to vote for Shawn on Dancing with the Stars! I feel like the judges are so tough on her... more so than any of the other competitors. Does anyone else feel the same way? In any case, she needs our votes! :]

Adios Amigos!

New Leotards from GK

Gk put up a whole bunch of new leos for sale this past weekend! 'Tis their summer collections, and some of them are really cute!

From the Nastia line...




Oh I see wat u did thar.


From the Shawn line...




Good God she is BUILT. Her head looks entirely too small for the rest of her in this picture. Anyhow, much improvement in this set than the last, IMO. I love the peace sign one above and the one that has "love" in that 60's type font on the front.


There's a new Adidas line with 4 leos that are just so so, nothing horribly exciting. Although one does look like a christmas tree...



Uhh... you're 4 months late there, GK!


There's also 2 new sets from GK's summer essentials. One set is blue and orange leos, the other red white and blue. Again... nothing of too much excitement.

Which are your favorites from the new line?

Apologies

I suck. On to the updates.




-Shawn has been doing fantastically on Dancing With The Stars! She's consistently been at the top of the group in scores (although for some reason is never at the top... who is Gilles anyway? And what's his appeal?), and seems to be a top contender for the title. She is now working on week six's dance, which will be either the rumba or the jive. Which do you think she should compete? To vote for Shawn, call 800-VOTE4-09 (800-86834-09), text the word “VOTE” to 3409 (AT&T mobile customers only) or visit the “Dancing with the Stars” Web site. VOTE FOR SHARK! :]

-Nastia and Shawn are two of the five finalists for the AAU Sullivan Award! Fan voting has ended and it remains in the hands of the AAU officials. Cross your fingers. :]


-New layout is coming soon... within a couple hours, I'm hoping! :]

March Layout!

Sorry I never got a new layout up for last month... but March is up! I hope you like it. :]

Updates Ahoy

I know, I know. I'm sorry. I actually have a weekend off though, so I'm catching up tonight baybay!

- Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of days, you know that Jordyn Wieber won the ScamCup. Many are saying that it should've gone to Bridget Sloan; I personally haven't had the chance to watch it yet so I can't really say. What do you think?

- You can now see the full book of Nastia's shoot with Max Azria - the rest of the pictures are fantastic! I highly recommend looking at them if you get time. http://maxazria.com/spring2009 (click on Collection, then Image Book).

- Nastia, Shawn, and Jonathan are all three nominated for the AAU Sullivan Award! You can vote for any of the three at usatoday.com. The winner will be announced on April 15th.

- The Gymnix International is this weekend in Quebec - for our senior girls, set to compete are Mattie Larson (yay, Mattie's back!) and Samantha Shapiro. Also, Danell Levya and Tim McNeill are set to compete for the men. The US of A is also sending a junior team, including Kamerin Moore, Jordyn Wieber, Hallie Mossett, and Sabrina Vega. Good luck to all! :]

- Shawn is set to make her dancing debut this coming Monday at 8pm! Be sure to watch Dancing With The Stars on ABC and vote for Shawn!

Phew. Lot's of typing there. I'll try and keep up now - the worst of my meet season is over! I have one regular meet next weekend, then sectionals in about a month (and states a month after that, as long as I make it!). So we should be good from here on out. Hehe! :]

Oh Nast...

Hey Nastia, nice drape! -_-

Our favorite AA champ was a part of the Red Dress show. I'm pretty sure Carly was in this same show in 'o5.... however, I'm 99% sure that Carly didn't wear the tablecloth we used for Christmas dinner.

new layout coming ASAP... I just haven't had the time to make it yet. I have WPIAL's tomorrow (for high school gymnastics... it's like a sectional championship for all the schools in western PA) and then I've got tri-state team championships on Sunday. Lots of pressure meets this weekend, so wish me luck! :S

Shawn To Put On Her Dancing Shoes

Shawn just joined the cast of Dancing With the Stars.


What the hell, Shawn? XD


Listen, this is gonna be cool, and I have a feeling that she'll do really well! But what about "I'd love to compete in 2012!"? I'm assuming this means no nationals/possibly worlds this year.

In any case, good luck Shawn! :]
