I'll be quite honest. Other than Mandy, Leighanne was the girlfriend that I used to pick on the most when I was in discussions with my friends. I knew nothing about the girl except she dated Brian. Yet, I still felt the need to crack on her. For what reason? Really, there was none.

Then, just this past year, a friend of mine got the chance to actually be close to Leighanne. It was about four in the morning and she was taking Tyke for a bathroom run. Once she stepped out of the hotel, fans were on her like that. She calmly told them that after she got through with taking care of Tyke that she'd gladly sign some autographs and take pictures. True to her word, she came back and did just that.

Four in the morning, people! I don't know about you, but if that would've been me I would've most likely been telling people the get the hell out of my way. She'd just spent the entire day hanging with the guys and now she was being hassled by adoring fans. According to my friend, who is very trustworthy and whose name I'll only mention with her permission, Leighanne handled things like a trooper. She stayed outside and took snapshots with various fans and signed her John Hancock like promised.

This gal is becoming the one girlfriend I respect the most. I mean, here she is trying to have a career of her own but it's being overshadowed a bit by her relationship. She's still smiling, though! She shows those pretty whites for the cameras whenever she gets the chance. The only thing I would change about her would be the tops she chooses to wear. She kind of falls out of some of them. Then again, if you've got it flaunt it! LOL!

Leighanne will soon start shooting for the independent film, Olive Juice in which she is one of the main stars. I hear even Lil' Tyke has an appearance in this film!

This is a side note from me. I went to both New York shows this past September. Leighanne was at both of them, Mandy with her at the September 26th show. Maybe this was just my friend and I being too perceptive, but that first night Leighanne and Mandy just sat there. I thought, "Okay, she's seen the show how many times now? She's probably just bored with it but still wants to be here to support Brian." On the 27th though, she was alone and without Mandy. That night she was dancin' up a storm by the side of the stage. Now, I'm not tryin' to say anything about Mandy....Okay, maybe I am. It just seemed that Mandy dragged her spirits down. LOL! Then again, that's just me being silly!

I'll have some pictures from my friend soon. She just has to scan them. They were from a visit in New York!

I do not know who the girl standing next to Leighanne is, so don't ask! LOL! What I do know is that this pic was taken during that 4 in the morning stop!
