Call Me
Monday, July 26th, 2010Thought I’d share a song that’s been stuck in my head for days. This live performance crushes the studio version. It doesn’t get much better than this.
Happy Music Monday!
Enjoy.

Pilla Sport & Christina Kim Join The Fight Against Lyme Disease!
Sunday, July 25th, 2010
As you’ve probably noticed, lime green is a pretty popular color around here. It’s my favorite color. It’s also become a distinct part of my personal brand. However, it is more than just that. It also represents my little sister, Teri’s, ongoing battle with Lyme Disease.
LPGA Tour star, Christina Kim, and I recently linked up with Pilla Sport to create custom lime green sunglass frames to show our support for the millions of Lyme victims worldwide. Their shades are second to none. Initially designed for the best marksmen and archers in the world, Pilla Sport sunglasses make colors and nuances on the golf course come to life. I’ve never played with such visual clarity.
People are already starting to take notice. Christina and her Pilla sunglasses were featured in a “Style Watch” article that was recently published at LPGA.com. Fans continuously ask her about them and it gives her a chance to speak about the horrors of Lyme Disease. It’s awesome to see CK rocking her bright green shades out on tour because as she explained in her book, Swinging From My Heels, she has never before felt compelled to get behind a specific cause.
Christina has even taken her new role as Lyme Disease advocate a step further…
I am pleased to annouce that a portion of all proceeds from every sale of Pilla Sport’s new lime green sunglass frames will be donated to Turn The Corner Foundation to help find a cure for this horrible disease.
I can’t think of a more bold and vibrant spokesperson, who is anxious to speak her mind and fight for what’s right. Thanks to Christina and the folks at Pilla for taking action and making this happen!

No One’s Gonna Love You More Than I Do
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
This video is rad. I love watching creativity and innovation come to life. Cee-Lo does just that with a crazy-good cover of one of my favorite songs, “No One’s Gonna Love You” by Band of Horses. The storyline and videography really moved me and I wanted to share it with you. Let me know what you think. Click play, repeat.
