It’s no secret that I am just a little bit obsessed with CW’s Gossip Girl. (Ok, understatement of the year…) But, I just can’t seem to get enough! And it seems everyone else agrees with me as evident from media headlines lately. From Blake Lively’s hair being heralded as the “new Rachel”   to Leighton Meester’s hot new single that I listen to oh, about 20 times a day – these girls are definitely keeping us on our toes.  And I, for one, can’t wait to see what they do next!

Today, we check in with someone you hear from on a regular basis, though you may not even know it! Spotlight on Mia, the FABULOUS voice of Roxy!

Job Title/Description of what you do:

I’m the Online Marketing Content Coordinator and I have probably one of the coolest jobs at Roxy!  My job involves a lot of writing and organizing and I LOVE it!

One the best parts of my job is traveling to events. For the past two years I’ve traveled to Roxy Jam Cardiff and the Chicken Jam. My job is to blog from the event, update the website with daily wrap ups, and upload photos. Interviewing the athletes for the blog is so interesting. They are AMAZING women!

I am the main author on the Roxy blog and I also manage all of Roxy’s social networking sites. If you’re a fan of Roxy on Facebook you probably get Roxy newsfeeds from me everyday Coming up with Roxy’s status is a lot of fun but it also can be a challenge to think of fresh messages each day. We like to announce athlete news, new products on the site, events, and special promotions on our facebook page. I also manage our youtube channel , myspace page, and our flickr galleries. This involves writing the profiles, keeping up with friend requests, and responding to friends who comment or have questions.

I also write the copy for Roxy emails and on roxy.com. A lot of my day is spent organizing projects for Roxy.com which involves event sites, athlete bios, and merchandising stories. Whenever we have a new season of clothes coming out, and we need to switch all the images on the website (for example: from Summer to Back-to-School) it’s my job to organize the project and write the copy.

Time worked at ROXY:

2 years

Defining moment at Roxy:

Probably my first year at Chicken Jam, when I got to interview the winners of the 2008 Chicken Jam for the website after they just won the slopestyle and superpipe competitions…that was pretty cool!

Style Icon/Style Inspiration:

For inspiration I like reading Interview magazine and going to the beach in Laguna. I also like to see what my friends living in different parts of the country are wearing.

Fav part of working for ROXY:

I LOVE being part of a brand that has such a positive, great message for women – you can’t get much better than fun, alive and naturally beautiful.

Go-To Fashion Item or Outfit right now:

I just got this new pair of earrings that I can’t stop wearing – my friend Tivoli made them. One is a feather and the other is a charm with the word “laugh” on it…I love how they don’t match. I am also obsessed with my neon nail polish. I bought this little sample package from Essie that has 4 mini bottles in it: neon yellow, hot pink, electric purple, and bright fushia!

Advice to Squadettes:

Pursue what you love! I never thought I could find a job that was as fun as this one…don’t be afraid to take a chance either!

Thanks Mia!  Check back soon for our next ROXY Superstar!

Sofia quoted as saying, “It doesn’t even feel real that this is happening right now,” Mulanovich said. “I have wanted to win this event for so long, and have always been disappointed. To do it here, in front of my friends and family and in good waves at Lobitos is a dream come true. Viva Peru!”

The final was a battle between Sofia and the two time event winner, Stephanie Gilmore.  After a horrible crash the day before, Sofia fought back in the final to take the win.  Sofia now sits at third on the 2009 ASP Women’s World Tour ratings

Another Roxy surfer, Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 18, 2009 ASP Dream Tour rookie, matched her best result of the year with an equal 3rd at the Movistar Peru Classic. Arguably one of the most in-tune performers at Lobitos, Fitzgibbons lost a nail-biter Semifinal to eventual winner Mulanovich.

“Dancehall” is the new Sean Bones single and is the kind of song that makes your eardrums want to party. Drawing from the spirited elements of funk and reggae music, this Hawaiian/Freestyle artist has “that thing” very similar to what Sublime was able to encompass in the 90s. Although following in those footsteps are a giant stride, this song proves that Sean Bones’ music is the kind of contemporary sound we need and love. Perfect for a road trip, a bar, or the radio, “Dance Hall” is a one of the songs you will end up putting on repeat

11/3-11/9The Very Best “Rain Dance”  (featuring M.I.A.)

Listening to this song is like listening to the heartbeat of Africa. And, with tour dates lined up all over the world, The Very Best is taking the heart of Africa with them everywhere they go. Each of their songs is filled with authentic sounds that create nuanced musical compositions that are refreshing, fun, and authentic. These include African chants, worldly energy, tribal influences, and edgy beats that are appealing to people from every corner of the earth. With M.I.A. lending vocals to the uplifting “Rain Dance,” this band has proven to be as reputable as they are wholesome.

10/28 – 11/2 Boy Crisis “Dressed To Digress”

Like David Bowie times five, Brooklyn’s Boy Crisis gets the party started with this power-packed pop dance song that will make anyone want to move. In fact, putting you into a cosmic, transcendental state of bliss is their utmost musical mission. We say, mission accomplished. Hedonistic and oh so bouncy, what is not to love about this band? If you didn’t check it out then, now is the time!

10/20 – 10/27: The Postmarks “Go Jetsetter”

Check the latest single from The Postmarks “Go Jetsetter” featured on their album “Memoirs at the End of the World” that was just recently released! They are a pop band hailing from Miami and we are in love with them! Let us know what you think of the song.

10/13-10/19: Datarock “Give It Up” (Kissy Sellout)

Remember a while back when we introduced the high energy song “Give It Up” by Datarock?  Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better than that.. it did.  Kissy Sellout has remixed “Give It Up” and we have decided to grace you with the fruition.  Slightly more upbeat with less of the dark undertones, don’t worry, it will still cause your legs to move involuntarily

10/6-10/12: Tiny Masters of Today “Ghost Star”

Though the Tiny Masters of Today’s newest album, Skeletons clocks in at only 26 minutes, we can’t seem to get enough of their appealingly authentic rock out attitude. Ada’s vocal delivery on “Ghost Star” is off key but refreshing and real with bits of lyrical randomness.  It is a cry to all the hipster kids that are deathly afraid of the Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus, so stand up and fight for your right!

9/29-10/5: Totally Michael “Winona”

Remember back in the ‘90s when Blink 182’s childish yet addicting music and lyrics caused adolescents everywhere to simultaneously jump up and down and sing along? Well there seems to be a new age successor upon our hands, and he is Totally Michael. Armed with only a keyboard and a computer, his catchy caffeinated poppy bounce touts an ‘electro punk’ feel with songs about living forever and having fun. What better way to soothe your ADD and satiate that nagging sporadic urge to simply dance and have a good time? Check out one of his most popular songs, “Winona,” off of his self-titled album, which happens to be our download of the week! It’s outrageousness just might electrify you.

9/22 “Taking Drugs at The Amusement Park” by The Silent Years

It’s always nice to ‘discover’ a new artist and realize that they’ve already released three full length albums! Leave all of your preconceptions of indie rock at the door and try The Silent Years’ latest EP, Let Go, on for size. The song “Taking Drugs At An Amusement Park” is redolent of a carefree ride on a merry-go-round. The dynamics and airy melodies will leave you feeling slightly weightless.

9/15: Michael Zapruder “Ads For Feelings”

We seem to have magnetism towards quirky, avant-garde folk pop, and friends, our radar has led us quickly to Michael Zapruder and his newest release, Dragon Chinese Cocktail Horoscope. His blended melodious energy stems from the wide array of instruments and poetic lyrics that tend to inspire and color any listeners musical canvas. “Ads For Feelings”, the first single off of the album opens up with a fast paced beat and develops into a slew of woodwind. His unconventional compositions are harmonized by the fine and delicate intricacies that one must listen to over and over again.

9/8 “Give It Up” by Datarock

The Norwegian electro rock band, Datarock, has finally released their newest album, Red. You might have already heard them, their song “Fa-Fa-Fa” has been previously featured in commercials for Apple and Coca-Cola, as well as the popular video games, NHL 08, FIFA 08, and NBA Live 08. “Give It Up” is their latest venture, reviving 80s electro rock music, calling all individuals still stuck in their track suits and large awkward sunglasses.

9/1 “Skeletons” by Tiny Masters of Today

We know we told you about the Tiny Masters of Today a while back with their song “Pop Chart” and we’ve now returned to tout about our new obsession.  The song “Skeletons” has bits of fizzy punk and moments of fun that can only stem from the young minds of its creators, Ivan (15 years old) and Ada (13 years old).  They have separated themselves from the pack not due to their age, but simply from their willingness to experiment with remnants of hip-hop, disco, and industrial sounds.  Check out their latest album, Skeleton, we don’t think you’ll be able to hear any inexperience and the level of taste remains on high.

8/25 “Shark Suit” by UUVVWWZ

The first question that will most likely come to mind is, “How the heck do you pronounce that name?”  Pronounced double U double V double W Z, this indie rock quartet from Nebraska has just released their self titled debut album.  Their ambitious and raw energy is reminiscent of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.  ”Shark Suit” is a funky track with a plethora of noise and synthesizers, fluctuating from fragility to intensity all while bringing the audience through constant turbulence and catharsis.  Give them a listen if you like manic music that constantly keeps you on the edge.
