Miley’s been looking real, real good lately, as she’s been spotted looking like the sort of pop princess the world loves to root for. (Are you reading this La Lohan?) So what gives? She’s been wisely taking the styling advice of our very own Jill Kline who was quick to send MC a box full of our fall favorites. Included was Lost Girl’s Lyric T-shirt, as seen above. Send those achey-brakey hearts aflutter, girl!

P.S. The tee was designed by former Swell hottie Theresa LaVelle!

And as the exclusive online dealer for all project BLUE merchandise, our name and product shots were all over the place. Read the full article here.

Swell stormed the beach at Poche this morning, fearlessly risking bacteria and staph infections to bring peace to a toxic San Clemente shore. As a thank you to the fine people of Poche Beach for allowing us to conduct a photo shoot on their compound, 12 Swell army members volunteered in a clean-up effort that resulted in 12 bags of trash, a vintage Obi Wan collectible, a pink dolphin and 3 condoms.

FOAM’s relaunch party went down this past Tuesday at the Surf Gallery in Laguna Beach. As you’d expect, the crowd was hot and so was action. (Seriously, there was no air conditioning). Rochelle Ballard, Kassia Meador, the Gudauskas trios, and Donovan Frankenrieter were among some of the elite to soak up the free drinks, sushi and atmosphere.
