Hi Miss Saigon, You KickAss Chick You,

Chris n' Andy here from www.chicksinkicks.com/about/

We are reaching out to you guys/girls as we recently looked over your site and want to know if you are interested in doing some cross-promotion with us...

This November we will be releasing our first T-Shirt designs and would like some help promoting and selling them.

Of course we don't expect you to do this for free so we offer a higher than normal affiliate commission for those who help us out.

First we would like to do a simple banner and link exchange with those who reply back promptly as we have limited spots available.

Secondly we have pre-written a "sponsored post" (see Attached .txt file) and would really appreciate it if you could publish this or write up a similar one to help us promote our survey.

If you do this we will make a 300 word write-up about your site in our review category under the lifestyle section that your site falls under.

Working together will mutually benefit us by improving our search rankings and increasing our traffic over time.

If you're interested please reply to this message with your banner attached, desired anchor text for the link back to your site and of course a link showing us where you published our back link.

(Please use the following or similar anchor text "Chicks In Kicks - Kick-Ass Women Reppin' Active LifeStyles")

If you would like us to do the 300 word write-up then please publish(just cut/paste) our attached post or make one similar and reply with the link to that post.

Thanks for your time,

Chris n' Andy

Anyhoo, still settling down from my trip to Paris.... At least trying. here is something to be shared,.... For the first time in my life, and many other Parisians' lifetime, I saw Notre Dame, CLEAN... Whooooaaa.... & funny enough, it looked weird to me... As though they had just peeled her of her coat of 100 of years history.... Now ... Notre Dame just looks like St Paul Cathedral, on 5th Avenue... Weird...




Voila... Enough of Paris... Err... I had the honor to do a pair for Mr. Jamie Fox,... Oh Yeeeah....

BACK FROM PARIS!!!!!

YEAHHHHHH! Saigon Customs is back in effect.... I, Miss Saigon, have just return from my hometown of Paris!!!!! ... Yet I am deeply saddened to announce to you guys the impromptu departure of my most beloved first apprentice, Miss Erika.
Erika left us to go back to Tassie, to be closer to family members, elders she wanted to enjoy some moments with before it may be too late... And for that we support her!!!!! Also we want ot give her big shout out for contributing to this blog and makin' it awesomely entertaining... FIRST APPRENTICE, you will be missed.

Now... How was Paris?... There are no words awesome enough to describe how it felt to come home after so long.

However I can tell you all about the Stallions hunting experience in the land of Baguettes and croissant... What an adventure!...



But first things first... We have been auditioning Stallions left and right, and so far the stable is growing fast and steady... So... Now it's time to get our our Saigon Girls Crew up to part...
So we will have the same process as the guys to apply to become a Saigon Girl... You Gals should copy and paste the application you will find below, and e-mail it to us. Upon acceptance, you will be required to sit down and have a fun interview for us to post on the blog, as well as some picts.

To apply , one must: be an excellent rider, of course, Stallions need to be handled by experienced riders!... You must possess a skill at which you excel, must be down to earth and deal with life in light hearted way... You must be able to put aside your ego and attitudes which may not be conducive to the crew... You must be energetic, fun, confident and self assured. Stallions can be a handful at times, and we are seeking girls that will stay gracious no matter what the pressure! ;o)

Please see the application following this post, have fun with it... And hope to see you in our inbox soon!

Packing Light

We leave for Paris today. I'm packing light but there's some essentials I just can't forget. 

"Le Fouet"

SC goes to NY

You know, it's still a huge deal for me to be all like "Oh yeah, I'm going to New York for a photoshoot in the morning" - seriously! I hope I never get all jaded and spoiled by my amazing life here and stop appreciating the fact that I am 1.5 hours away from the Big Apple in the Saigon Limo and that we know the most amazing fucking people there. After pulling our crazy all-nighter we were out of this joint at 8.30 am. We took our neighbour Michelle with us, stylist/Saigon Girl Phelena Jean and her OGG Dad Nappa (Original Gangster, Gentleman/Grandfather, he thinks he's not a Stallion but little does he KNOW PAPA!!!), as well as Miss Saigon and myself of course.

When we got to New York we met up with our model Silq and Saigon Photographer Marlon...
Awww.... After making magic happen with a lil shoot on the riverfront we headed to the Shaolin Temple on Broadway where we met up with astonishing Shifu Shi Yan Ming, a Shaolin Master.
This guy is amazing, when we walked in there's magazine covers with this guy on the front of them everywhere (including a shared one with the RZA) and more flicks of him with celebrities like Shirley Manson, John Leguizamo and Bjork, many of whom come to Shi Yan for the best Shaolin training in America! Shi Yan's been in ads for Nike, IBM, HP, Hallmark and is the face of Chase Manhattan Bank. WOW! That's why we were so stoked to present him with his own pair of dragon-themed Saigon Customs which he additionally modelled the hell out of.



I feel bad even saying "hell" when talking about Shi Yan since the temple came with a whole lot of rules that we had to abide by which includes no profanities (I think we failed a couple of times on that one - sorry Shifu) Although I felt eerily comfortable with them all, maybe because it kind of sounded like I could have written them.

Anyways, after feeling all stoked and pleased with ourselves because of the great shoot at the temple, we bailed to get our so ho on in SoHo. Then we met a man with a cat on his head.

And this douchebag took a picture of my cleavage when I was leaning over.

DOES HE NOT LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY YOU'D SEE HANGING OUT NEAR CHILDREN'S PLAY AREAS

So I haven't posted the money shots yet as we're still finishing them but I will post them when they're done. I just want to say that we are SO appreciative to have such an incredible crew come together and work so well for us and it showed in the flow of the day (even with Miss Saigon calling Cedra "the Gestapo" for keeping us all on point and organised hahahahaa.....) Here's a whole lot of candids so y'all can feel what an amazing day it was...
