helloooo little darling faces,
I love reading your sweet and inspiring comments. I have been having a blast working with Le Doux swimwear. A few days ago I helped out on the shoot for the summer col cclection, my samples are stuck in Brazil due to the volcano =( my heart goes out to all the families affected by the eruption. I used to have this odd infatuation with pompeii when I was in 7th grade and I created weekly newspapers that would've been relevant in those times. weird i know, but stretch your brain!
Thank you to everyone who has been knowledgable enough about this reality tv world to understand that the way things are portrayed... well, you know. I would love to do my own show, but it would have to be productive. I would want people to learn something valuable from it as well as be entertained. you know those movies where they make you think and smile? like that. anyways, the owner of Le doux swimwear and I, Juliana, are going to be filming a casting for the model who fits the vision of my collection! I've had so much fun designing the line I can't wait to expand on it. I'm constantly looking for things that don't exist so that's how the ideas come into play.
And yes, I'm a real woman, with baby making hips and I need a suit that is going to flatter me, not one that is made for a plastic barbie a one size fits all.. thats my goal, the tops are going to lift the ladies up and make them look so good you will want to wear them with low cut dresses just so the cute material stands out as a valid excuse for those of us who don't have the fakeys to go braless. if you do have perfect fakeys then i hope they are tasteful and fit your body type, more power to you. the secret is that people question their authenticity. that's my view on that. aaha
also the bottoms are ALL cut to embrace the booty. if you haven't got a booty then they will help to shape it. think of them like the true religions of swimsuit bottoms. haha. I love when things have a little added flavor to them but i also crave simplicity. classic, clean cut lines that never go out of style.
I am going to crack down on getting my bronzing lotion finalized so I can do a limited launch at the same time we launch the line, they go hand in hand. I don't believe in worshipping the sun, i believe in being wrinkle free without botox and all that other poo in your body.
well here are my secrets...
#1. bio oil. rub it on your entire body, face too, before bed every night. your skin will drastically improve.
#2. dance every morning, blast your favorite song while you are getting ready and stretch first thing when you wake up, i promise your day will be dramatically different in a good way.
#3. sunscreen. I love sunscreen, tinted moisturizer with spf is good but you need more. and for the ladies with tattoos, it brings out the colors, for some reason when i want my ink to stand out and look fresh all it takes is a layer of sunscreen. (good pre photo shoots too or even when i go out at night)
#4. elizabeth Knight bronzing lotion! I've been trying to finalize the actual bottle and I haven't fallen in love yet, anyone have suggestions? send them my way.
#5. water. drink it. when I go out I like to play a game, while my sister, and friends are throwing back the redbull vodkas, i match every drink with a water. hahahaa you pee just as much but you are glowing the next day and they are bloated.
#6. wear high heels when you clean your house, I know it sounds silly but it feels good and also when you work out at home try to do it in front of a mirror in your sports bra, booty shorts, knee high socks and nikes. i find it motivates me to push myself harder if I have a clear view of the muscles i'm thrashing at the moment.
alright, I've got life to tend to but comment on whatever you want me to blog about and your wish is my command... also i give amazing relationship advice so ask away.
love love kiss kiss

smell of coconut and sunscreen.
I miss living at the beach, the constant sound of waves crashing lulling me to sleep. I'm nothing like my sister in the body department. I think that's obvious, but I do cherish my body for giving me two beautiful healthy babies. I wasn't supposed to be able to have babies because my uterus is shaped like a heart. ( pretty awesome considering i've been in love with sharks since i was a baby and sharks also share my uterus shape)..
point.. i just finished drawing my last design, swimsuit design that is. I have had a blast the last few days working with Juliana at Le Doux swimwear. we literally hit it off on the phone after she sent me a few swimsuits and I was inspired, started adding my own take on things. Highest quality and best fitting suits I've ever worn. I literally yelled down stairs to Kyle and said, "babe you have to see my butt in this swimsuit" haha he started laughing at me until he came upstairs and was like wow, try on the rest, do a fashion show for me. tmi. sorry. haha =)
anyways I got in touch with juliana and I told her some of my ideas and we instantly hit it off, two days later we were sitting on a couch, indian style, giggling as we talked about what inspires us and she recorded every detail of my designs. it was amazingly easy, fun and i loved it. I am starting to think that staying true to myself and not paying attention to rules is going to pay off eventually. I'm really siked to have a collection of swimsuits that are perfectly suited to my taste for the entire summer and next, timeless considering I not trend savvy. I hope you guys love what I came up with! over the next few weeks we are going to be filming the process, casting a model, styling the shoot, getting the materials/colors/hardware etc finalized and finally the launch party!
hopefully audrina will come along and give me some pointers! I still don't know how she does it.
anyways, lots of fun to come. and I'll be launching the suits at the end of may in vegas!! at niki beach =)

well. as for the last two posts.
It was great to get feedback from ya'll but they didn't give me poo as far as creative anything. Audrina is an executive producer and this is her show and her project so everything you see is her creation.
Hope everyone gets a whole new perspective into the mind of my sister.
I will be posting as soon as I check with my lawyer on how much I can say without being slaughtered by the big dogs.
love you all. good morning.
I would really love to join a book club, if anyone is interested?
I am really sad that my sister is going around saying that I am exactly like my mom, i love my mother, she is who she is and she makes no apologies. But I see more resemblance in Audrina. I pride myself on being a book worm and loving to learn, bit of an introvert i suppose. I loathe drama, yet somehow when I'm around them it is inevitable and it always gets twisted and put back on me when i do nothing. I need a trasnlator to hang out with them and I'm afraid to say something wrong. odd, right?
anyways, I just want to apologize to Lauren. She did nothing to deserve this and I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of a Lynn patridge brutality fest. Not only for the tmz instance but also for the more recent stuff with Audrina, there is no reason to dredge the past for any reason. Lauren has never been anything but a super sweet friend to me and I admire her for staying true to herself in this business. I am kinda sad we lost contact when her and Audrina had a falling out. I feel like I could use some insider's advice on this whole reality show junk. geez =(
and another thing, they keep saying that I am a "former wild child" and the "black sheep" just because i have tattoos doesn't make me a stereotypical party girl. sorry to disappoint. and I would consider myself more of a white sheep in a black sheep herd. I love books, god, my children, being goofy, writing music, flea markets, traveling, learning about different cultures, doing charity, when I read the remarkable story about a mother/hollywood actress (?)breastfeeding a starving baby in an unfortunate circumstance that right there was what inspired me to dedicate my life to helping others. one hand at a time, the power of holding hands and praying is strong.
No matter how I am portrayed in this tv show, which is available to watch on vh1.com before it premieres.. I know who I am. I have a husband who loves every single things about me, he is the best daddy imaginable and he has a heart of gold! He is such a wonderful man and everyone who knows understands how blessed I am to be married to him.
My mother on the other hand sees all her flaws in his character, she isn't used to someone loving her and not judging her even when she is ripping him apart for being a protective father.
when i read people saying, oh "casey is just jealous of audrina because she is just a mother and a wife" that is confusing to me. When I am sleeping at 3am snuggled in my bed with my two babies and gorgeous husband and I get a phone call from my sister crying in some club because her current butthole boyfriend left her there, he grabbed his exes boob or they are drunk and arguing about scientology(calling me to be the mediator)..yes i'm talking about cabrera..I'm not jealous, I'm heartbroken! I wish Audrina could find her prince charming and pop out a niece or nephew for me to babysit and take to the zoo. I wouldn't trade my life for hers for anything. It may seem all glamourous but Audrina goes thru hell to live the life she does. I love doing my own dishes and watering my garden.
I will answer all and any questions you have about the tv show, each and every episode. openly and honestly. I will never lie to you because I don't have an agenda.

meowsers
balloon
so forget i asked what you guys wanted to see, i have no input. and quite frankly i am going to be waiting right along with you all to see what it turns out as. ha ha. i would like to say that i am really glad that I'm married to my soul mate and already have everything that matters. as i honestly don't care what happens with this show. it is the only time i get to see my sister, or my family for that matter. when we're filming so that's cool.
but I'm under contract so i don't want to get sued saying anything else.
on another note. who is going to NYC for fashion week?? me me me. I'm deliriously tired, i played piano today almost all day in two hour blocks. my brain is throbbing in a good way. sorry i am abandoning you guys, i feel really bad. pardon my crappy grammar. i am grumpy that things didn't turn out the way i would've liked them too. but hey, at least i have my blog. and i can continue to spread the word of being a bad ass positive person on the Internet. ha ha =) hope you are all doing wonderful and here's an update of what has been keeping me from the blog world... pilot school, writing music, working on our new album, getting ready to launch Elizabeth knight this spring, drawing aka trying to convince people to let me tattoo them, praying my buns off that my back heals so i can start working out and get my body feeling healthy again. oh and i have decided to get a breast reduction. after two babies my boobies are just so sad. i really hate going to home depot lately and they did their duty. they fed my babies well, although i am always the one in 2945938475 person who the very worst that can happen in surgery ALWAYS happens to me.
on a lighter note, I'm learning to take cheap shots as compliments. =) someone tries hard to put you down it only means one thing... they are intimidated by your awesomeness and feel inferior.
hmm.... what else can i rant about on this lovely midnight... ohhh... i am loving tearing my house apart. but this stinking association.. i have to ask permission for paint colors, plants, etc etc etc i paid for this house i own it, i have good taste, i think better architecturally then fashion wise haha, so i think they should trust me on changing some stuff around..
setting goals for 2011..
i had a dream..
buy 150 acres of land and build my dream community with a bunch of people from church and my in laws who are already helping get plans together. my grandfather in law is an architect and my father in law is a genius in contracting and cement and waterworks world.. boom. i want to build my own ocean in orange county. and have a a bunch of houses on the water, wave machines so i can surf in the morning while the kids build sand castles or snorkel. basically a neverland with water and less animals. go wake boarding, sky diving, have a helipad, etc....
and not only that but i obviously wouldn't be using all 150 acres,the majority of them and build condos that house widows, women in trouble,etc have day care/schooling/skill courses available and a network where they would all become a tight knit family and their children wouldn't have to grow up with an abusive father because the women was too afraid to do it on her own. she wouldn't have to! i have so many things i hope to accomplish, elizabeth knight cosmetics will be the start of an amazing product line that is going to help change women's lives by being not only eco friendly but people friendly. i'm not greedy. i am sooo happy with my life, i love every aspect of it and wouldn't change it for the world.
i am kind of worried that this tv show may give people the wrong idea. i really don't want to be famous, my parents wouldn't talk to me for two months because i said i wasn't going to do it. so i am showing up and trying to keep a smile on my face but it's so weird. being out of my comfort zone. i refuse to have my babies on the show, and kyle has only filmed once, there are so many contractual things to be sorted. it's odd being thrown into a position that feels so foriegn and so wrong all at once.
i'm probably saying to much. but i just want you all to know that television will rot your brains and i want to be the seed that grows not molds. hahahah =)
have a bitchin' week. and don't forget to say please and thank you please and thank you.

ahoy.
blooooog. I won't apologize for my lack of intelligent rambling lately. I'm in love with Spain, not a huge fan of the food, but i have a theory it was because of our guide and his preference for buffets. I've never been a buffet kinda gal. We stayed in a magical hotel on the top floor and there were lion heads outside our window, gorgeous trees and the air held a stillness that made me want to try and soar from building to building. I didn't get to shop, tear, but if anyone who lives in Europe wants to trade me for some vintage dresses or flea market swag I've got some worthy trade.
I went the longest I've ever gone without talking to my sister, a whole month. between traveling, miscommunication, lost phone, possessive boyfriend, tropical islands, and just a general feeling of hermitness I kind of blocked out the world for a month. I'm back now, I had 4 much needed meetings in one day and they all went insanely well. First off I'll tell you all that I signed on to do the first season of "the untitled audrina project" on VH1. Start filming the first week of January 2011, I'm trying to think of a New Years resolution but there is honestly nothing in my life I would change right now. Being capable of feeling content is freedom. I have found the joy in grocery shopping, cooking, organizing, landscape artistry... etc. when you find joy in everyday things nothing can stop you from feeling weightless.
So back to this tv show, I am having the big meeting with Burnett in a few days, but I really hope I get to have some creative input. Audrina is an exectutive producer, not exactly sure what that entails but I'm jealous. I'm so proud of her, she had the balls to just up and leave everything she knew and move into a little apartment in a big city with a few girls she found in an ad. one thing led to another and now look where she is?! see, girls, you can do anything if you really want it, do not listen to the haters and do not give up on your dreams.
I know what my dream is, I want to be the head of an empire. I'm starting with my Elizabeth Knight cosmetic line, I have it carved in my heart that I need to make certain that my best friend is immortalized and her parents are honored in the process. I miss her so much, I avoid driving on the 22 at all costs, I was forced to due to a detour yesterday and I balled my eyes out en route. People give you odd looks when you are listening to Taylor Swift and crying while sitting in traffic. Usually that cd works, makes me happy, appreciative.
Back to this whole tv show, what would you guys like to see? I want to film the process of creating a makeup line, show people that it is NOT as glamourous as it sounds. I also am starting a foundation that will work to empower women all over the world, starting with the ones in my neighborhood. Everyone deserves to feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. I've been working hard to put a team of women together who understand my vision and feel passionate about what I am trying to do. So far things are beyond my expectations and I couldn't ask for a better group of beautiful, powerful, intelligent women to join me on my journey. I've already started designing shoes as well, I am constantly on the search for things I come up with in my head and they never exist. This is my solution haha.
