Review in Where Y'at - New Orleans Magazine!

Jordyn Jackson
September in the Garden
Chessie Park Productions

With sweet seductive vocals to go along with her devastatingly stunning good looks, Jordyn Jackson proves she's so much more than just another pretty face in the music world on her debut release, September in the Garden.  This future starlet brings a lively flair of expression through her vocals and keeps the listener wanting more.  Jackson's vocals clearly drip like a playful dab of honey on Southern homemade buttermilk biscuits--simply oh so sweet and yummy!  Recorded at Fudge Studios in New Orleans, Jackson has a stellar band backing her including local NOCCA graduates the Craft Brothers (Glasgow) on strings.  Jackson's alluring vocals on "Squeeze Me" will send visions of Jessica Rabbit and New Orleans style burlesque through your mind while her version of "Crazy" is breathtaking.  The CD as a whole is a great listen and I surely look forward to seeing her perform live around town.  -Kevin McKee

MS Mud Run - Success!

On Saturday, March 20, 2010, my friends and I participated in the 6.2 mile MS Mud Run in Jacksonville, FL.  Our team name: We're Not In It To Win It, But...Tony Is.  Together, we raised over $800 for the National MS Society!  Here are some photos from the muddy, difficult, amazingly fun race:

 "6 miles...Really?!" Samantha

"Hurry Up, Bitches!" Tony

"Help A Sister Out." Amy

"Hope I Don't Fall." Erin

"Wait...We Have To Get Dirty?" Jordyn

The Rope Climb

It was such a pretty day!

Happy as Pigs in Mud! ;)

About to swim through the freezing cold tunnel

I touched something weird while in the middle of it!

(hence the reason I look like this)

Notice that Tony isn't in any of these photos? He left us.

Comin' around the corner!

Sliding down the trenches

I love my friends!

The last obstacle!

The End...Till Next Year!

They offer 3 different products, with various options:

They'll send you a collection kit... Swab the inside of your cheek, send it in, and it's done!

Self Portraits 

Combined DNA Portraits:

 

They also offer mini-portraits, and will combine up to 4 people's DNA into one canvas.

Kiss Portraits:

They'll send you a M.A.C. Viva Glam lipstick and some sheets to kiss... Kiss the sheets till you get the perfect one, send it in, and voila!

GREAT gift idea for your significant other!

Fingerprint Portraits:
They'll send you a collection kit... Print yourself till you get the perfect image, send it in, and you've got a beautiful, original piece of art!

I think these pieces of art are so amazing... No two are alike, and they're so special.
