hello!
jillian spoke of the lively discussion you two were having about the impacts of leather manufacturing.
i wanted to chime in as this is a topic i have thought about for years upon years.
As a conscious individual who sees the most for humanity, the leather and veganism debate is very close to my heart.

laundry list 2011
just a short list of what i want to accomplish in my spare time in 2011. you know, i thought becoming an international pop-star wasn’t quite ambitious enough this year, so i figured id add a few things to my list. hmmmm, where to start?

champagne or suicide..
last week i reached a breaking point. some of you may have seen my tweet (@cassidyhaley) about my breakdown in MACY’S. it wasnt pretty but it wasnt quite as visually interesting as one might expect from a breakdown in MACY’S. it was very much internal. and it was the culmination of something ive been struggling with for the last month or so.
every year around this time i reflect on...

gratitude and the freedom of music
this is a letter of gratitude.
When i started pursuing music last year i was well aware of the turmoil the industry had gone through. we all know what has taken place over the past ten years with the introduction of the digital music era and I knew that in order to be successful in this modern age of music i would have to offer more than just music. because music is free. the game has...

TEXAS HOSPITALITY
this weekend I flew to Galveston, Texas to perform at their annual pride festival. with no expectations, I found myself among the sweetest, most fun-loving community of people EVER! They were so excited to have me there and the whole experience was so freaking enjoyable. the event producers started it off right with an AMAZING seafood dinner on friday night, followed by a dynamic duo...

senseless fear & the contrasting harmony of god
so as i sit here in my fate-induced solitude for one more night i contemplate how i ended up here. you see i am constantly on the move. constantly working. always reaching for that next step, the next level of success. This habit has served me well up until this point. but what this string of physical ailments has shown me is that i cant force this path, no matter how much i push.
i didnt share...

Vancouver DAY 1
wow! yesterday was awesome. arrived to Vancouver with a less then pleasant customs experience which left me traumatized and feeling like a criminal.
i got disapproving eyes about a fare-evasion arrest when i was 17. he asked me if i had ever been arrested and i said “not in my adult life” and he squinted all evil like and i said “ok maybe as a minor but does that even...
