My sister Melanie, my good friend Jennifer and I have a dream of starting a skate magazine called "Apples and Oranges". The name is derived from Jennifer's nickname that locals gave her at the park because of her apple green vans. Since we were inseparable skate buddies I became "oranges". Our goal is to promote skateboarding in a fashionable and artistic way, focusing more on the fun of the hobby rather than the technicalities and tricks in an effort to empower females of all ages to get out there and enjoy skateboarding.
We all have a passion for dressing up, ravaging through vintage finds, and skateboarding. Put them all together and you have a couple girls skating in rad vintage clothing! We encourage guys to do so as well. So much fun!
I recently started selling clothing on Etsy so this blog is a venue to showcase some of my vintage finds, as well as a place to store pictures that may very well be used for our future magazine. Enjoy!!!!
*Please contact me if you have skate and/or vintage pictures I can add to this blog!
special thanks to Jimmy for photographing and videoing
I'm always so inspired by you and miss "Yenny" as I used to call her for some reason? :) You three are all so rad! Can't wait to read your cool new blog! Maybe I'll even get out an old board again some day and make a fool of myself again! haha It really won't be the same without you to make me feel like I know what I am doing though. Love you!
ReplyDeleteThis is cool Anna. I support you guys 110%. I'm just jealous you can skateboard. I can only hang onto a long board.
