Hi! I’m Jordan Danks. I’m in the midst of my thirties and married to a total dreamboat named Garret. And before you ask, no we don’t have any kids…yet. We live in Austin, Texas, where we curse I-35 daily, watch Family Feud at 4:30p, 5:00p and 5:30p and brunch more than your average millennials. Though our typical brunch takes place at home because Garret makes better bacon pancakes than most restaurants in Austin. Hard to believe, right?
The OG Blog:
I originally started this blog in 2010 after getting dumped by a guy for not sleeping with him. This was a common theme in my dating life as I was a virgin by choice. But, what started as a place to vent about guys, quickly turned into empowering women and their right to choose what is best for them and their bodies.
Unfortunately, after a toxic relationship—that ended with a bout of fake Montezuma’s Revenge—I shelved the blog and writing for 10 years. It wasn’t until I met my husband in 2014 that I began to see the importance of this story.
After trying—and failing—to find people with stories or content like mine, I decided to do what every millennial does by taking my expertise to the Internet and creating it myself. This blog is about life as a virgin, post-virgin, being married to your best friend, English bulldogs, and the 3 C’s we in the south like to live by: Church, Cowboys and Chips.
This is Me:
I come from the film and advertising industry, starting in front of the camera and making my way behind in the last twelve years. I was a model for twenty years before I flipped the script and began producing films and television content for features and commercials. I have worked in all types of media content, from development to distribution and everything in between.
I live for decaf coffee and sweet potato chips. I am allergic to corn, which is a major problem since I live in the Tex-Mex capital of the world and few restaurants offer corn-free alternatives. My favorite treadmill activity is browsing the #FoundItOnAmazon page, while searching for coupon codes before purchasing anything at retail. I graduated from Texas State University with a BFA in Production & Performance and I dream of the day I can rescue every single English Bulldog in need of a home.
If you’re looking for camera ready tips and tricks, I’ll have a few, but this will mostly be a glimpse into my non-filtered life featuring unflattering photos, sweatpants and how many days it has been since I washed my hair.
