Airing Monday, February 8 at 8:00pm ET (5:00pm PT) “The Making of The Ultimate Wave Tahiti” is an in-depth look at the first ever IMAX 3D surf film. Featuring nine-time world champion Kelly Slater, The Ultimate Wave Tahiti follows a quest to find the perfect wave-riding experience. Filmed in Tahiti and among the islands of French Polynesia, the film showcases dramatic giant screen surfing action in a unique Pacific paradise. This show will focus on intricacies of using such a complex camera, the challenges of weather in the tropics, and getting professional surfers to go surf when the conditions are less than ideal. See what happens behind the camera on such a monumental piece of surf film history.

My good friend, Ashley, and I have more than in common than we ever knew! Both of our moms have the same inherent ability to pick up something insanely useful and yet totally chic for their daughters (us!). Case in point: our awesome Blue Q lunch bags that we are both slightly obsessed with. The bags are cool because they are reusable (also made from recycled materials!) and allow us add a little bit of style to an otherwise boring lunch tote. I swear I get more compliments on my “Owl” tote than I could ever imagine…and I love it. Thanks Mom! Blue Q has a great selection of lunch bags you can find here.

Every year right around this time I get super over the cold winter weather and long for sunny spring days when wearing bright colors is almost mandatory and a tan is commonplace. While it’s not time for that just yet, Essie’s new Spring 2010 line of gorgeously fresh and eye-catching colors makes me think that with any of these shades on my nails, I am only moments away from stepping onto the beach (even if the reality is a bit further than I would like to believe…). Ahhhhh lovely. Take me away now, Essie! Buy here.
Listen up! You ready for some fun.? If you haven’t heard of this supergroup yet, then let us be the first to introduce you. Meet Nate Reuss (late of The Format), Andrew Dost (formerly of Anathallo) and Steel Train’s Jack Antonoff. Together this trio form a band reminiscent of musicians like
Queen. The energy and enthusiasm of fun’s music is refreshing. “All The Pretty Girls” is one of our favorite songs off their album and can only give you a taste of the brilliance that is Aim and Ignite. Simply put, these guys are just fun.
Check out this new band we just discovered called the Kopecky Family Band! Straight out of Nashville, Tennessee Kopecky Family Band has a unique blend of neo-classical, folk, and electric sensibilities. Were loving the song “It” and know you will too!!!
