Pitch article about us and the swine flu
Billy Johnson got sick in Mexico, but it wasn't swine flu.

Billy Johnson does not have swine flu. So, everyone, please stop asking the drummer for Shots Fired and Paper Cities about it. Johnson and his girlfriend, Alia Castaneda, flew to Play del Carmen, Mexico, on April 26, just before the paranoia about a swine flu pandemic took over the media.
"I was spraying out both ends one day, because I think I had a glass of water," Johnson laughed.
But in the course of their five-night stay south of the border, the couple did not encounter anyone with swine flu. "When we arrived, I didn't even know anything was going on," Johnson said. "By the time we left, some people had started wearing the masks."
Johnson and Castaneda didn't wear any masks or worry about anything besides how much they could drink on their vacation. The craziest thing they experienced, though, was being in a cab as it went through a drug checkpoint. "15 cops in full helmet gear with machine guns," Castaneda recalls.
At the airport in Mexico last Friday, the mass paranoia over swine flu was apparent, though. Castaneda said people were wearing scarves -- including one Harley Davidson do-rag -- over their mouths. Some people had even covered their luggage with plastic wrap. "I told Billy I felt sorry for anyone who sneezed. They'd be instantly pounced!" she said. All passengers went through a medical checkpoint, during which they were asked if they had any swine flu symptoms and had their temperature taken.
As soon as they touched down on U.S. ground in Dallas, they turned on their phones, which instantly began buzzing with curious text messages and voicemails from friends, family and this reporter.
Castaneda joked that she kind of wished she could tell her boss to quarantine her so she could stay home for a few days. Because Johnson works in the service industry, his boss paid to have him checked out by a doctor before he came back to work -- just in case.
"They swabbed my nose," Johnson says.

Alexia is MLK Jr.
Alexia's 5th grade class had to pick their American hero. She had to write a 3 page report, then do a speech as her hero. She picked Martin Luther King Jr. Her reason blew me away. "Mom, I picked him because if it weren't for him I might not be here. If he didn't fight for civil rights, you may have never dated a Mexican, and then you wouldn't have had me!" Seriously!!!
And the Oscar goes to:
Alexia got a Wii. I can say that I'm damn good at this thing! It's amazing how much you sweat playing this thing! She loves it!!

This is Billy's Uncle Rodney (Lightning Rod). If you have met him, you would realize that Billy bought him the perfect gift. By the way, it is motion censored!!!

Real Housewives of Hooters
Front row: Angela, Nolte (Jenn), Me and Metta (Sadie)Back row: Stacy (Sunny), Billie Jo, Nikki & Becky
Not bad for bitches in their 30's!!!!
So I did the math, and this was our 13th year annual HOOTERS X-Mas dinner. Angela was right, this started off as a Valentine dinner. As she put it "It was when we didn't date anyone longer than 3 weeks, get us all together, so this way we could get a present!"
The things this group of women have been through together.....Want a list? I was hoping you would ask!!
- break-ups
- make-ups
- prison
- really bad dating choices......I mean really bad. God, If only I could own a giant eraser!
- sex, drugs & rock-n-roll
- barely there outfits
- fancy pants
- vacations
- tattoo's
- marriage
- adultery
- children
- divorce
- more marriages
- long distance moves
- stupid women bullshit
- weight
- gravity
- gray hair(it's been colored of coarse)
The list could go on forever. That's what happens when you have been friends for 14-15 years. Our stories should be made into an HBO special. Way to graphic for regular TV.
I love them all!!! We are the WOMEN OF BENETTON!
I can only hope that Alexia will find a group of friends that she will have for her lifetime.

Halloween
OK, so I'm new at this. I wanted to copy off of Angela so you guys could view funny things that are happening in our lives. With today's technology, I'm way too lazy to call everyone and tell them, so I thought this would be easier and way more entertaining! So here it goes!
1st up, is Halloween. Alexia was a vampire from 30 days of night. Super gross and now kids at school are afraid of her!
Make up by Kat White
Hair by Ryon (soon to be) Matthews
And as you can see Billy and I were Hall & Oates. Very convincingly!! Every place that we went into played some of our greatest hits! Billy didn't enjoy kissing me with my sweet mustache. At least now he knows what it feels like for me.
