Roxy Follow Your Heart Tour UCSD May 8th
Originally uploaded by Official Roxy Photos

The University of California San Diego was a great event, Samantha and I had a few new challenges. In an addition to our display we had bright blue astro turf and a flip flop assembly machine. With the Roxy tour so close to home we had a bunch of help from our fellow Roxy girls. Set up went smoothly like usual with a little added bonus. Surprise there was a film crew! Hollywood meets Roxy girls for a possible upcoming reality show. No details are available yet but we will be sure to keep you posted.

Next stop CSU Fresno. This will be our last stop on the collage campus tour. From here on Samantha and I will be visiting different malls and Board Riders Clubs across North America looking for a official Roxy Spokes Model!

Pool PARTY! That’s the vibe we picked up on as we approached the University of Arizona. I can safely say we officially have tans! We arrived to Tucson on Saturday morning giving us a few extra days to educate ourselves about the University of Arizona. We walked around campus on Saturday afternoon and realized we needed to put on our bikinis to even halfway fit in with the local crowd. There were girls and guys prancing the streets in their swimsuits. The sounds of reggae could be heard for blocks.

As we approached Greek row we noticed the streets becoming more and more full. We couldn’t believe it? Was it always like this? Where was the party? We meet a group of alumni who informed us it was pool party weekend. Apparently all of the fraternities on campus build, yes build, pools in their back yards using hay, giant tarps and lots of sand bags? Genius.

“Oh my gosh! No, way ROXY!!” The girls on campus were so stoked to have us. We couldn’t get our exhibit set up fast enough. They were swarming the R.V. as soon as we pulled up to our location. We were on the most populated side of campus. Huge sprawling palm trees lined the sides of the street where our exhibit was centrally located. The buildings were very large and consumed with old stone and red brick. A giant clock tower overlooked our whole location, a perfect spot for our set up. Things went very smooth and no surprise here, the girls and some guys loved our tee shirts and the rad tote bags from Schick Quattro for Women.

The vibe on campus was a little different than the others. Much more chill and relaxed, unlike the ninety-degree temperature. Maybe it was all the pool parties the day before that took too much out of them. 

Our day ended with a delicious treat for ourselves an Eegee, a Tucson original locals favorite. It’s a slushy but one thousand times better. It has real fruit mixed in and tastes like a dream after a hard days work in the sun.

We’re on the road again, and headed toward San Diego.  We still are keeping our eyes out for the best video submission so please keep them coming!! We love to watch them! Keep it real.

Much Love,
Samantha and Carissa

Meet Roxy’s First Every Spokesmodel: BRANDI!!!!!

This 17 year old is from Laguna Beach, CA. She was a finalist at the Irvine Spectrum spokesmodel search event. Roxy chose Brandi because she epitomizes the ROXY spirit – she is fun and alive, daring and confident. She also has an excellent sense of personal style and will make a great spokesmodel for ROXY!!!

Q: What are you most excited about becoming the Roxy spokesmodel?
Brandi: I’m most excited about letting girls know it’s ok to go outside your box when it comes to fashion. Pushing the limits is what it’s all about; hit or miss, at least you’re trying something new!

Q: What does Roxy mean to you?
Brandi: Roxy, to me, symbolizes girls who are confident, active, and fun-loving!

Q: How would you describe your personal style?
Brandi: A mix between “beachy-relaxed” and “LA trendy”.. if that makes any
> sense

Q: What was the event like at the Irvine spectrum?
Brandi: It was so amazing, my mom and I pulled up and thought “Ooh there it is!” You couldn’t miss the huge Roxy tents, runway, DJ booth, and signs! It was fun seeing all the girls get interviewed, I had crazy butterflies when it was my turn! When they announced the top three that day, my mom screamed so loud, you could probably hear her in Hawaii!

Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why?
Brandi: My dream vacation is to go to Australia and New Zealand! A friend of mine went last year, and I was so jealous! I love to watch surfing, and it would be fun to go to a place so new and take it all in!

Q: What is your best memory from this summer?
Brandi: Becoming the Roxy Spokesmodel of course!!

Be on the look out for Brandi in the future.
Congratulationts!

passing through Hays, Kansas
Originally uploaded by Official Roxy Photos

On our way back to Colorado I couldn’t resist to stop at a good friends house in Hays, KS. This town is so much fun! The people who live their may not agree but the many visits I have had to this town in my lifetime have always been full of good memories, so I had to show a little Roxy love. I guarantee it was a big deal to have the Follow Your Heart tour bus in town. We were greeted by the VonLintel family with sooooooo much enthusiasm, we know how bummed they were that we weren’t staying for the night. We took them out to the buffalo, and had some local flavor pose in some pics for us. Ft. Hays state university is in town so we are sure we generated quite a buzz. Thanks for the hospitality as we passed through Hays, even though it wasn’t for the night!! Soon we will be home sweet home.

Much LOVE,
Samantha and Carissa

We made it to our third destination! The University of Miami at Ohio.

It was a great campus full of friendly students who waved and greeted us with smiles. Students could be seen sitting outside sipping on refreshing beverages and cheering, “the Roxy girls” as we drove by.

There was a lot of energy on campus because it was senior week and the students only had one more week of classes left. It seemed that school was the furthest from their minds. We heard them all night as we tried to get our beauty sleep. Being a former college student myself I can relate to their enthusiasm. We found a convenient location to park Bessy and set up camp for the evening.

The next morning we set up the event with help from our Schick Quattro for Women representatives (THANK YOU) and before we knew it, it was show time…

The spot where we chose to set up was so beautiful. The Crab trees were in full bloom and we were placed right next to a beautiful water feature that would permeate mist our way every so often. The weather was a nice seventy five degrees and the sun was shinning. We were all smiles because as you know we love the sun but the weather called for windy and rainy all day.

The girls at the University of Miami of Ohio were so adorable. I think I heard someone say they have a nickname of J. Crew U. It seemed very fitting, the campus looked like it was made for a photo-shoot straight from the catalog.

Carissa and I are so eager to see all your video submissions, get them goin! Aside from a few hiccups in the morning it was a great day, that went quickly. Were back in the RV now on our way to AZ. But not without stopping in COLORADO for a little TLC from our friends and family. We can’t wait to see you!!!

Much Love,
Samantha and Carissa

It is official! The Roxy follow Your Heart Tour came in strong to our second stop. Old Dominion University in Virginia offered Samantha and me a whole new challenge. The weather gave a bit of trouble, all news channels called for thunder storms and flash flooding. Thankfully we had a back up plan. We set up our exhibit in the Webb Center building. Thanks to all of our volunteers who were so much help we had a great turn out! Samantha gets an award for making the most tee shirts complete with green pain for earth day! Cool fashion tip for all girls out there rain boots are very much in style when flooding is in the forecast. The Webb building is the center location for all of the food on campus we would like to say thanks to all of the “lunch ladies” for being so excited about the Schick Quattro for Woman and Roxy product as they all had no time to stand in line but we were able to get these giveaways to them before the end of the day. We are looking forward to seeing some video entry’s from the ladies in Virginia as all of the girls we talked to had exciting life stories. Don’t forget to post your entry as soon as possible for your chance to win!

Hola! Not too much to report from the tour today. It’s Sunday afternoon and the “sun goddesses” are bummed because we finally have time to ourselves and are close to a beach. The problem, the weather is sixty-five degrees and rainy! Yuck!!! We hope the weather will cooperate with us by Tuesday for our second tour stop at Old Dominion University.

On our drive out yesterday we ventured upon a place called, South of the Border. It’s a huge tourist attraction right on the boarder of South and North Carolina. South of the Boarder looks like it belongs in the middle of Mexico somewhere, hence the name. It had anything and everything you could imagine, ice cream, roller coasters, antiques, Mexican food, an Africa shop, flamingos, a great white shark, tee shirts, souvenirs, RV parks and a giant sombrero. The reason for our interest for such a strange place such as this was because of the 120 billboards for nearly 200 miles along the highway. We were so intrigued by all the signs we had to stop. And when we saw the 200ft. high sombrero from the highway we couldn’t resist. When we pulled in we noticed the reality of Pedro’s South of the Boarder right away, we fell for the biggest tourist trap on I-95, by far the strangest place we have seen yet. After finding a place to park our home, which is always a tedious task, we got out and walked around for a bit. We decided the only reason for stopping was for the photo ops that were all around us. We captured some precious moments and then quickly realized we were in a neon Tijuana and we were ready to get on the road again. We arrived to Old Dominion University in the early evening and decided to call it a night. (Gracias to Pedro and the South of the Boarder creators for making our day a little more interesting) Keep your fingers crossed for good weather.

  University of South Carolina, Follow Your Heart Tour 
  Originally uploaded by Official Roxy Photos

Hi Ya’ll! Today we had our first stop on our tour at the University of South Carolina. We had a wonderful location on campus directly in front of the university bookstore. We made our presence known by parking the bus in front of the store. Next to the bus we placed both the Roxy and Schick Quattro for Women tents. Under the tents we had giveaways such as Schick Quattro for Women totes filled with razors, Roxy music CD’s, Shimmer (a surf video) and the infamous, tee shirt press. Our custom tee shirt press caused a lot of excitement on campus. The line quickly became fifty deep and had students buzzing all over. By the end of the day we even spotted a few girls who were sporting their new digs! We quickly learned that the tee shirt press is going to be very successful!  We can’t wait till we get our flip flop machine……

The weather was very cooperative as well. It was a beautiful sunny day! A temperature of about eighty degrees and a light constant breeze that kept everyone from getting too hot.  Carissa and I turned into sun goddesses as we took on every task we could in the sun. You see, we both were very excited to spend the day in the sun because aside from the bus, Breckenridge, Colorado is where we call home (shout out to the Team Royal Tigers) where we still have four feet of snow in our back yard. Might be why students here were staring at my snow-white legs, which reminds me I could us some aloe. We couldn’t have asked for a better first tour stop experience. The students on campus were all very friendly and radiated a great, positive vibe. Not only was the campus beautiful, so were the people. Carissa and I are off to bed now. Were taking off early in the morning to Old Dominion University. Stop number two on our tour. But before we arrive we are going to take advantage of Virgina Beach!!! More time to soak up the sun, we just need to remember the sun block this time. Keep your eyes open on the road for us, well, actually you can’t miss us. Cheers to a successful first tour stop!!!

Spending our first full day in Columbia, Samantha and I had a chance to scout out the University of South Carolina campus.This is a beautiful area complete with a rather large Greek row. We visited almost all of the sorority houses making sure that the girls knew we were in town and what it was we were doing here. We want to make sure everyone has a chance to see what we are all about and to win the ten thousand dollars to follow their heart.

Here is a photo of two of the Delta Delta Delta girls holding up one of the custom screen print shirts, that we made last night.

After a cold front here the weather has finally turned warm for us, it looks like all the girls here will be getting a chance to test out the new Schick Quattro for Women product we will be handing out at the event on Friday.

Can’t wait to see everyone there!

Carissa & Samantha
