First off I want to apologize to you all for not updating in a LONG time! Things have been so busy lately, which is a good thing!

I am so excited to tell you all about the “Supergirl by Nastia” clothing line, which will be sold exclusively at JCPenney in stores and online at www.jcps.com beginning July 20—Just in time for back to school shopping! The line will be for girls 4-6 and 8-12.

I have spent a lot of time recently in Los Angeles, working really closely with the design team (which I absolutely love!)  It has been so cool to go into the factory and design studio to pick out fabrics, colors, pieces of clothing, etc.

The reason I was so drawn to work with Warner Bros. on this line is because of what the Supergirl brand represents…That EVERY girl can be a Supergirl and having that belief in yourself will help you to achieve your dreams…that is what got me to a gold medal and I hope this line will bring to life the “Supergirl” message.  It has truly been such an honor to work on this project and I hope you will all love it as much as I do.

I also got the opportunity to partner with Warner Bros & USA Gymnastics to launch the first ever, Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup, which was broadcasted LIVE on Universal Sports. It was so much fun meeting all the girls, designing the leotards and warm-ups, and of course doing the live broadcast with Tim and Andrea. I also got to watch the Tyson American Cup the next day and was SO proud of my teammate Rebecca Bross for winning! (And of course my dad, who coaches her as well)

This summer I will get the privilege to travel all over the country (even outside the country!) to; promote the Supergirl by Nastia line, a lot of different Summer Camps, and of course some of the USA Gymnastics competitions.

I will be going to IGC at the beginning and the end of July. Karolyi’s Summer Camp and Flip Fest mid June, of course the WOGA Camp July 12-16, and my own camp at UCLA, called the UCLA Nastia Liukin Camp (July 15-19).

Since I will be all over the place this year, I hope to meet as many of you as possible J In the mean time, follow me on twitter at www.twitter.com/NLiukin and become a fan on my Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nastia-Liukin/30579513350?ref=ts

XOXO~ Nastia

Hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been staying very busy lately. I guess it’s been a while since I wrote last. I got to go to the World Championships in London. It was so weird to be on the other side of things, and watching the competition from the stands… I don’t really think I liked it. But I was also able to do some pretty cool stuff while I was there. I wrote a blog for USA Today, did the interviews for Universal Sports & NBC, and also did a 4 series episode for AT&T Behind the Team.

Bringing 5 medals home, the girls did such a great job representing Team USA! I am very proud of them all. After Worlds, I went to the Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular which happened to be on my 20th Birthday. I was so happy to be able to spend it with some of my really great friends! Ashley Tisdale was the guest performer, she is so sweet and VERY talented. (It will air January 10 on NBC)

Next week I’m off to LA for a few days, then going to Moscow with my mom to visit our family. I’m really looking forward to spending some time with them. I hope you all have a safe and fun Thanksgiving!

XOXO~Nastia

P.S. I have some SUPER exciting stuff coming up, but I can’t tell you yet… But trust me, it’s worth the wait!
