5. Maui Girls: Jamie Magliozzi Edition

Dear Friends,

My life is filled with true beauty. I don't mean sunny days and green trees (though those are nice), but I mean people. I am surrounded by truly beautiful people both outside, and, more importantly, deep down inside.

May I introduce you to my best friend and all-around most favorite person: Jamie Magliozzi.

We met at a high school camp, just before my freshman year. She liked singing and making up funny dances and I liked running really fast with my eyes closed... we were a perfect match.
I spent this past weekend with my best friend on my favorite island: Maui. I call O'ahu "home base" now, but my heart will always be in Maui. Neither of us had a car or a schedule all weekend. Walking along the south Maui coast, just before sunset, our only concern was finding the nearest Foodland for some $2.00 shoyu Poke (raw ahi with soy sauce) and a scoop of sticky rice. We found it.

Speaking of delicious treats, this is what we ate in the morning:

AFTER




Jamie's Omi (grammy) grew this papaya in her garden in the backyard of their house. SO GOOD!

Back to Jamie.


I had to force Jamie to agree to take these amazing shots of her with her favorite pair of Crushies: the Valaria. We went safari-ing in her backyard under the plumeria trees and bamboo forests for these shots.


So here's a little background info on the lovely lady:

Name/Nicknames: Jamie, Jimmi-ya, "Jamie oh Jamie, I'm So Glad You're Mine (so glad you're) We'll Be Together A Long Ti--iiime", Ju-Ju
Age: 21
Born and Raised: MAUI NO KA OI
Favorite Fruit: Mango
Major: Speech Pathology
Most Ideal Day: Waking up at 8 a.m. then eating fruit and yogurt. Stretching in the sun or jumping into Big Beach. Splish Splashing in the water with friends. Riding in the back of a truck to get to the showers, and then a meal shared with family and friends outside.
Why the Valarias are her favorite Crushies: They cover my face enough so that no glare gets in... and i totally dig the color and style... I hope to not CRUSH them. Hehehe.
Favorite Planet Earth Animal: Dancing Blue Bird
Saddest Planet Earth Moment: The heartbreaking-tears-roll-down-the-cheek moment when Mr. Polar Bear swims to his death. (Jamie is crying now)



Jamie also eats flowers... in style.


This particular pair of Crush sunglasses are part of our Couture series. Check em out on our MYSPACE page.

This is me and Jamie wearing The Brooklyn and The Valeria.


And that's a wrap. Thanks for reading, my friends.
Keep me posted with any questions or comments or just a little shout out. I'd be stoked to hear from you. Also, if you have any pictures of yourself wearing Crush please send them my way at crushgirlamy@gmail.com

Love, Peace, Shalom, Aloha,
Amy




p.s. Tell your mother you love her and your father "Happy Father's Day" if you forgot.
