Tessa & Jonathan Married!

It was a gorgeous sunny day in downtown Tacoma for Tessa and Johnathan's sweet union. They were wed at The Tacoma Glass Museum earlier this month. The first thing on her to-do list was to be beautiful! I was glad to help. She radiates beauty from the inside out. And, yes, all that hair is hers!

Love

Homelessness is a crisis, especially for children. Without a stable home and the most basic needs, they are vulnerable to many problems and a continued cycle of instability. The reasons for homelessness vary. A layoff, addiction, and domestic violence to name a few. At the Rescue Mission, they work with families to overcome problems, make changes, and find affordable housing and employment. I see positive change in these women and children from one visit to the next. It is a pleasure to volunteer with this program. A haircut may not be as vital as a meal or shelter, but it can sure boost self esteem. I brings us great joy to pamper people and let them know they are loved. We are so blessed. Take time to be a blessing to others. You will get more in return than you could ever give.

A special thanks to Latasha & Isaiah at Latasha Haynes Photography for capturing our hearts!



Thanks to Beth, Dedee, Melissa, Jessica, Nora, & Haley for generously giving with your time and talent.

Kelli & Jason married on Crystal Mountain!

Mid 50' and snow made for a chilly June wedding for this pair on Crystal Mountain! It sure was beautiful though with their pear green accents. It was a pleasure styling Kelli's bridal party in their cozy lodge. Getting married in a cloud is not ideal for hair, yet the girls all looked good! Congratulations Kelli & Jason!

Meet Justin Kercher, DTE CEO

"Instantly I am conflicted. An email from the marketing department of one of the largest athletic apparel companies in the world. A simple request, drawing to mind a complex array of thoughts. A photo, taken from my personal camera of my buddy, 2006 NFL MVP Shaun Alexander, somehow catches the eye of a big shot at this company– and now they’d like to use my photo on a billboard. Cool, right? Then why does everything in me want to tell this guy to “shove off?”
Maybe because my heart is cold to the Machine. A Machine that sells Mediocrity to the Majority. A Generation of Conglomerates that use Super-Stars like pawns to sell products to the Youth of the Nation, disregarding elements of Substance, Character, and Integrity desperately lacking from so many of these same Super-Stars. A vast sea of sameness, with different logos. My heart is cold to this machine, and I can no longer be a part of it. You cannot have my photo. You cannot have my fashion. I am tired of fitting into corporate boxes. I'm am tired of being expected to conform. I am tired of the mediocrity. I want more.
Do The Extraordinary is born. Existing to identify with the style and heart of OUR generation, a geration of world changers, and to encourage, inform, inspire, unite, and invest in the Extraordinary causes of so-called ordinary people. I enlist the help of the most talented people around me. We create a Clothing Brand, that is so much more…
Blayne Walsh begins to imagine, dream, and conceptualize the designs for our first run of clothes.
Shaun Alexander consults, networks, and cohorts with me to create a launching pad for the Brand.
Together we coordinate the entire Movement, placing causes like Global Hunger, the AIDS epidemic, and Child Exploitation at the forefront of our efforts.
We sell Fashionable Street Athletic Apparel for a new generation, and use the money to give back. With a chip on our shoulder, and a Hunger for more, we set out to prove a simple point: We are SO extraordinary, capable of such extraordinary things…It’s what we DO that matters!" ~Do The Extraordinary
