Music runs in Anya Marina’s family. Her grandmother played piano in Dixieland bands. And both her parents play the piano — her mother favoring Gypsy folk songs while her father plays the blues. Before taking the stage, Anya spent five years interviewing bands and honing her musical chops as a DJ on FM 94.9.

This tauntaun cake smells sweet on the outside!
Ninja October 24th, 2009
Penguin always teases me when I play with his tauntaun action figure (complete with a little trap door) and shout “And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!”
Naturally, I geeked out when I saw Courtney Clark’s AMAZING dead tauntaun wedding cake commissioned by Chris and Julie Trevas.
Thanks for the tip, Ray
