MY SKYDIVING EXPERIENCE

On July 21, 2012 I went for my first skydive at Jumptown in Orange, Massachusetts. IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME! My instructor Joe Goodbreak was so cool & fun to hang out with. He has done over 1,000 jumps. Videographer was Keith Thivierge with two cameras for video & still. I was only really scared for the 3 seconds before we actually jumped.  We had a 55 second free fall at about 120km before opening the parachute. Falling in the air is exhilarating. Greatest adrenaline ever.  The sky was so clear and beautiful. I felt so calm up there. Before the Jump Skydiving from 13,500 ft (jump is at 2:12) He grabs my head so I lift up my chin to the camera. He told me not to look down but I couldn’t help it! He signals for me to pull the ripcord after we spin for a bit. Time goes so fast when you’re fallin’. I wanted to do dance moves but it was a LOT to take in on my first jump. Next time.

I feel like a cooler version of myself who can REALLY do anything.  Motivated to take on the world! Have you gone skydiving? Where, when? LMK.  Here’s to a great week 🙂

Go Further with Ford 2012 – Part 1

I’d never been to Ford Field. Lots of history here. Home to the Detroit Lions and with it’s 1920’s architecture, has a real street that runs right through it. I’m more of a cheerleader than a football player. Clearly. Bellbottom blue jeans & stripe top from 3F, neon belt is vintage Darling from South Africa, Alix Rose Cowie. She sang us a lullaby in Afrikaans the next night. She also interviewed Die Antwoord for 10and5 magazine in ZA.  Bill Ford is a really rad dude. He went against the grain for Ford Motor Company really pushing for innovation & eco-sustainability. 250 journalists attended this conference representing media from around the world. All meals together. Breakfast the next day was fun because I met my new boyfriend right after… Now my most popular Instagram. He’s charming. Later in the day we went to this really rad place called TechShop and we made stuff. I made a pewter star and frosted beer mug with a huge ‘C’ on it. This clock was one of my fav parts. Next up in Part 2 I’ll share my driving videos and photos from the track! So fun!

Country By Day, Downtown by Night

Walked two hours today running into people in the streets between work meetings. I love this city. Amazing how rejuvenated a quick getaway makes you feel. Arroved home to a brand spankin’ new Olympus PEN camera. It’s E-PM1, a mini DSLR style camera. The lenses from my other camera’s fit it and i can’t wait to snap some new shots this week. Sadly it’s time to return my Hamilton watch I had on ong term loan. Glasses are those cat eye ones by Derek Cardigan for Clearly Contacts. Blue bracelet was made by Katiya. Hope your week is off to a great start!
