Steve Nash Presents SuperBADGE

Alexis — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 19:50:43 +0000

Steve Nash directed this short film starring Shaq and Alando Tucker (and Goran Dragic, Robin Lopez and Leandro Barbosa), some pretty rad wigs, and a green screen. This came out a few days ago, but I just realized I hadn’t posted it here. Definitely worth checking out

Proof that I rule – My interview with Blazer’s Edge

Alexis — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:35:58 +0000

I recently did an interview with Ben from Blazer’s Edge, which he published on the site today.

He titled the post “Alexis Gentry Rules” which means I can now say that my rad-ness is well documented and scientifically proven.

Here’s a quick snippet of his intro…

Alexis is Alvin’s computer-savvy, writing-whiz, self-described “fan of pop culture” and “geek-speaking” daughter. She is the founder of a website TrashWire.com and is, perhaps, the only person alive who could convince an NBA Lifer like Alvin Gentry to plug into the latest social networking craze. On her blog and in article-style posts, she has detailed some of the times she’s spend behind the scenes with her father and the Suns team. It’s well-worth your time.

Basketball Diaries from Planet Orange

Alexis — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:27:39 +0000

Occasionally, it dawns on me that a lot of people I know aren’t on Twitter and haven’t seen my frequent (and some might say incessant) updates from the last week. As a result, I’m writing this blog as a continuation of my first “Basketball Diaries” post–which has nothing to do with Jim Carroll,Leonardo DiCaprio, or heroin–to detail the action, intrigue and adventure during my most recent trip out to the desert to spend some time with the Phoenix Suns….

Basketball Diaries from NBA All-Star Weekend

Alexis — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 22:09:59 +0000

One big hole in Trashwire has always been the absence of a sports section. As the primary writer for the site, I’m usually too busy writing about which silicone bimbo got the boot from Rock of Love to pay much attention to the wide world of sports, but lately a few sporting events have started to pique my interest.

First, I covered the Super Bowl… or rather, the commercials that were on during the Super Bowl, but that’s a start, right? Then I debated adding some coverage of the Phoenix Suns season because I love watching their games. I decided that covering only one team wouldn’t really give us a “fair and balanced” sports section, and since many of our readers live in Denver, people would start to wonder why I wasn’t talking about the Nuggets instead.

So, in the tradition of my Super Bowl post, I decided it would be fun to cover this year’s NBA All-Star weekend. Next thing you know, I was on my way down to Phoenix to check it out.
