Looking back at the X Games. Skater boys (and girls) were cool long before Avril Lavigne sang about them in 2002. In fact, this past weekend the X Games celebrated their 21st action-packed year–each year bigger and better with no plans of slowing down. Literally. No slowing down for this extreme weekend with more than 136,000 in attendance over […]
I have covered Winer X Games in Aspen multiple times, and Summer X Games in LA, but this was my first time covering the X Games in Austin – their home for the past two years. It was an absolute blast and damn was it H-O-T. Here are recaps of my articles to check them […]
‘Angry Sky’ ’30 for 30′ Kicks off X Games Weekend Like everything that comes along with X Games, the kick off bash on Wednesday night in Austin was nothing less than adventurous. The night featured a red carpet screening of the 30 for 30 documentary Angry Sky benefitting the Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund at The […]
“The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.” – Bill Copeland It seems like just yesterday we were clinking champagne glasses and setting a slew of semi-unattainable New Year’s resolutions—most of which have probably fallen by the wayside. Oops. […]
Carmen Bourseau is a 29-year-old running back for the LA Temptation (currently 2-0 this season). The Temptation have the most championship wins of the Legends Football League‘s six teams. And Bourseau was recently named the Temptation’s MVP after running 160 yards and scoring three TDs. This is real, hard-hitting football. We should also note that these hard hits take place with beautifully fit and […]
I recently visited Dr. Shel Wellness and Medical Spa located in Houston (Sugar Land), off Highway 6 and learned quite a few things about what we can and should be doing as women. If you’re fatigued, get irritated easily, have dry skin or a number of other issues, that stuff can easily be fixed. Dr. […]
MINUTE MAID PARK: IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERE The month of April marked the HOUSTON ASTROS’ hottest start (15–7) since 1986. But the team isn’t the only thing off to a hot start, so are our blazing hot temperatures. Hello, summer. Baseball’s meant to be played outside – unless of course it’s the middle of June where temperatures average 91 […]
Throughout my tenure with The Blonde Side, I have been honored to lend my voice to numerous events and causes, and none so honorable as my recent collaboration with 17 other Houstonian folks/influencers to help spread the word of AVDA (Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse). I was honored to stand beside so many great […]
Dynamo star discovers Houston shopping, monster trucks & BBQ — and dishes on teammates If you haven’t heard the name Giles Barnes floating around Houston by now, clearly you don’t follow soccer. Or football, as he’s quick to correct me. Not futbol. “I call it football – futbol as some say is more of a Latino/South American thing – in England […]
A MAN OF MANY TALENTS Astros starter Collin McHugh once joked he was “the dumb jock of the family.” But he’s much more than a jock, and certainly far from dumb. The 27-year-old finds himself in the starting pitching rotation for the ASTROS, but still finds time to pen his own blog and even play a few instruments. […]
