Taylor Swift

Sasha — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:34:40 +0000

I find a kindred soul with Taylor Swift. She writes of things I still think about and feel even though I’m way older than she. What I love most about her is honesty and integrity and responsibility as an artist and human. She wears her blessings well and because of this she is able to touch the hearts and uplift the souls of so many. She deserves all the awards she receives. I’m in awe of this young girl. Lots of folks point out how she does not sing in key, how her daddy bought her a substantial career with his resources and on and on. I say 1) we are all off key in so many ways and it’s a struggle to find our key in life sometimes. I think it’s awesome how her off key still opened the door for her; 2) so what that her father has amazing resources. Awesome. The whole family is smart and loving, and they ran into a smart man, Scott Borchetta at Big Machine. I think it’s a beautiful unfolding actually. Taylor is a gem. She identifies with geeky chicks like me, too. I’m happy that she had the substantial resources in her world to catapult her. Her words and music are important to young people, and to folks like me who are whimsical and forever young at heart.

God bless you little Taylor. Thank you for your magic and constant inspiration. You’re an angel. Stay true. Stay ever the picture of a lovely, classy girl.

: )

P.S. I love your song, “Mean” — Gosh there are people in my world to whom I would sing this song at the top of my lungs.

LONE STAR 2011. THE LITTLE RALLY THAT COULD.

Sasha — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 15:02:17 +0000

FROM: BIKERNET.COM written by Sasha.
Watch out Daytona Bike Week, Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Laconia, there’s a new national rally in Texas. In a mere ten years, one hurricane, and a change of owners The Lone Star Rally 10th Anniversary is now a bright star in the line up of big motorcycle events. The difference is, the Lone Star Rally is only a weekend long whereas the other rallies last a week or more. Co-owned and produced by rally and event veteran, Melissa Penland and her incredible production crew, the rally is now a world class event attracting near a half million people.

The uniqueness of this rally is the relationship between the city and the rally officials. The City of Galveston rolls out the welcome carpet to a rally production team that is humble, professional, responsible, and respectful and they know the exact ingredients it takes to create a tasty fare of treats for everyone on two wheels. The best part is that year after year they keep on improving the mix. Adding genuine spice and serving it up is Jay Allen, the beloved founder of the legendary Broken Spoke Saloon, who is the rally Master of Ceremonies. His deep passion coupled with his history book knowledge of all things motorcycles continuously entertains the massive crowds. Allen brings his authentic motorcycle culture and industry experience and his years of operating a world class brand together to mastermind entertainment in a way that only he can do.

Rick “Dakota” Kempf of Motorcycle Cowboys was the organizer behind the debut of the very well attended Lone Star Rally All Star Roundup bike show on Pier 21. With over 100 entrants, there were bikes of all styles and makes including customs and backyard builds so incredible the judges’ (including Rick Fairless, Paul Yaffe, Jody Perewitz, and Puppy) enjoyed the challenge. Sons of Anarchy characters “Opie” and “Chibs” happily signed autographs for lines that wrapped around the block and one fanatic had the signatures tattooed. Mike Ballard and Angie, including Paul the Leprechan, from Full Throttle Saloon on TruTV photo posed for eager fans. Cheered on by a rambunctious audience, Jay Allen and Jody Perewitz went head-to-head in a bitchin’ burnout below the stage to welcome Buck Cherry. Rally music stars Jasmine Cain, Ryan Rolando, Farrell Webber and Big Engine, along with some awesome local acts, smoked the Budweiser and Jagermeister stages. Jared Blake, a finalist from NBC’s “The Voice” performed for the Long Star Rally Freedom Ride concert where he sang the National Anthem and then hauled off and kick started a country rock block of music that sent the Jager stage on fire.

Yes, all of these things, and that’s only a mere taste of the impressive activities that went on at Lone Star Rally 2011.

All in all success starts at the top and flows through the veins. With Melissa Penland as fearless leader of production operations, she is the perfect hostess of the rally. She’s keen on delivering a wonderful experience to the rally guests and the City of Galveston, one that creates lasting memories and friendships — and that type of leadership filters throughout the entire production family. Everyone’s goal in the rally team is for the customer to have a mega awesome time and for the city to feel the love. This is success. And it shows.

Now that the 2011 rally has wrapped, plans are now being sketched for 2012. With a renewed contract of several more years and the bonus of having the Seawall back to bring in the big rigs and more vendors, it looks like there’s going to be an even bigger smorgasbord of exciting new, motorcycle activities to enjoy.

P.S. Did I mention that I have a dream job working on the Lone Star Rally team? Thanks Melissa!

P.S.S. Thanks to Jay Allen for being the most awesome emcee and visionary.

Sasha & Motoroadeo MMC release an official Love Ride fundraiser song

The Love Ride song is humbly dedicated to the incredible legacy of the annual Love Ride fundraiser event founded by Oliver Shokouh of Glendale Harley-Davidson. Written by an indie artist who truly does live to ride and works in the motorcycle industry, this song represents the passion to serve and help others in the motorcycle community.

“The goal is to make the Love Ride song the largest fundraiser tune in history because there are so many people in need and motorcyclists are known for their generous fundraising efforts worldwide. The more money raised the more causes can be supported,” tells Sasha Mullins Lassiter, songwriter and performer with Motoroadeo MMC. She is best known as a journalist, author of the books Chrome Cowgirl and Bikerlady, and a motorcycle event manager for Jay Allen and Melissa Penland.

The Love Ride song fundraiser campaign will continue through 2012. A music video to support this project is forthcoming and will feature fun historical footage from the Love Ride. “I’m honored that Oliver and the Love Ride committee accepted this project. What he and his team have created with the Love Ride represents the giving heart of the motorcycle riding family. With the economic challenges facing charities these days, in my small way, I wanted to contribute to a foundation in our lifestyle that has the ability and resources to help all kinds of causes,” said Sasha.

Founded by Sasha and husband, Patrick Lassiter, the band Motoroadeo MMC (MotorMusic Club) is comprised of various musicians who love motorcycles and cool cars and are gear heads.

The Love Ride, a 501(c)3 charity, began in 1984 to raise funds for children’s charities. Oliver Shokouh is Love Ride’s founder and owner of Harley-Davison® of Glendale located at 3717 San Fernando Road, Glendale, CA, an authorized dealer for Harley-Davidson® and Buell® Motorcycles serving customers since 1976.

Barefoot Bride

and we sealed the deal
with a kiss on the beach
I’m aloha speechless
a barefoot bride ready to enjoy the best ride of her life.

W is merely an upside down M

Sasha — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 15:12:14 +0000

I want to stroll to the beach nuptials looking like a walking piece of Matrimonial art straight off the pages of W magazine. I will not apologize ever for the fashionista in me. Down to Earth. I do. High Art Heaven. I do.

My Daddy Poppy in spirit will be escorting his little girl. He will be proud. He will be dressed in a heavenly Armani suit wearing a divine smile.

Where will this journey take me?

Sasha — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 15:03:42 +0000

Where will this journey take me?
I stand where there is no horizon to be seen
no road to follow, no path cutting through
with the answers;

Where will this journey take me?
not just anywhere the wind blows…
where the wind becomes my will
and I drift without direction;

Where will this journey take me?
not to the place where a human
demands me to go, hijacking will
and I surrender to their whim in fear;

Where will this journey take me?
when I ask for divine truth be revealed
the ONE will direct me and
the road signs will appear for me to discover
the will of the ONE

and this will be my journey.

Getting fit. Getting fitted. The DRESS!

Sasha — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 23:13:21 +0000

Getting Fitted in the most IMPORTANT DRESS of my LIFE! I got this dress off ebay for $149 shipping included. It’s way lovely. Way amazing. Brand new. And it’s way too big. But I knew I could get it altered to fit just right. The girl who sold it to me decided to get a different dress. One that wasn’t so poofy. I love poofy. I want the dress that sweeps the entire cast of Sponge Bob along with it when I walk down the beach with my beloved new husband, hand in hand. Patrick won’t see it until the moment I’m all glam and ready to rock on down to the beach. I’m going to try to rent a Harley. The thing is the dress is soooo poofy that I’ll have to scrunch it all up and figure out how to not get it caught in the wheels. I loved the fitting process. It was really exciting. My dear friend Skipper came along. He’s a member of our family. Skipper lives with us on occasion. We love Skip! He documented the dress fitting so that I’d have photos. It’s a bummer living so far away from family. I know my NYC friends and sisters would have been so helpful in the fitting. You see NYC’rs are very straight forward. They would tell me if something was cooll or looking out of place. In fact, they would have caused quite a stir at the alterations place! We are all pretty loud when we talk. It would have been quite a party with champagne flowing and grapes and such. Me and Skipper celebrated over at the Cheese Cake Factory after. Oh no! I didn’t have ANY cake! This bride is lean and mean.
