mayqueen517 | BGBB Primer: Part 2

So obviously, if you read my last post, you know who this one's about.

So this is Cassadee Pope from Hey Monday!

Cassadee was born in West Palm Beach, Florida, on August 28th, 1989. You know what that makes her? That makes her a year and a day older than Nicole.

HOW FREAKING ADORABLE IS THAT, HUH?

I have no idea when this was, but that's Cassadee with her sister Ashley. (Hello Cassadee)

So, when Cassadee was about fourteen or so, she started singing in local bands. According to Wikipedia, she actually sang in the St. Ann School Jazz Band while in middle school.

In high school, she made friends with Mike, who became her guitarist in her band, then tentatively named Blake. In 2008, her, Mike, Alex Lipshaw (who my sister loves like BURNING), Michael "Jersey" Moriaty, and Elliot James founded Hey Monday.

From left: Alex, Elliot, Cassadee, Mike, and Jersey. (as of right now, the only members from this original line-up still in Hey Monday are Alex, Cassadee, and Mike, though they're all still really good friends and on good terms with both Elliot and Jersey)

They were signed to the Decaydance label and quickly put out their first album Hold On Tight and then released a single to it, called Homecoming. It got some attention and they then went out on tour.

On the set of the Homecoming video.

So after Homecoming was filmed, Hey Monday went out on the road with The Cab. That's right, their very first tour, and they went out with The Cab, This Providence, and A Rocket To The Moon. SO MUCH ADORKABLE.

Pete, Singer, Cash, and Cassadee. I LOVE IT.

I don't have much more information on Cassadee, so PICSPAM NAOW:

Cassadee has a few tattoos, some as adorkable as she is. Case in point; she has a smiley face on her right hand.

On her right forearm:

The first bird.

The second bird, with BND coming out of it's mouth to represent the Believer's Never Die tour wherein Hey Monday opened up for Fall Out Boy.

And then she had them connected by a branch

Hey, speaking of Fall Out Boy!

Cassadee is pretty close with Pete, she's actually said that he's like an older brother, and they're adorable. Also, Cassadee was in the video for America's Suitehearts as ~~Girl!MikeyWay~~ a babysitter who gets sucked into the TV.

Ashlee actually tweeted this for us, bless her. It was captioned with my girl @cassadeepope from the band hey monday. go watch her band.

Have some pictures of Cassadee and Pete! (they seriously look like they could be siblings)

I realize that's not Pete. But that is the Infinity On High sheep.

On the BND II tour, Cassadee would come out and sing some of Sugar, We're Going Down with Fall Out Boy.

And then Pete would come out onstage with Hey Monday sometimes!

Apparently Cassadee dressed up like Pete. Personally, I think she looks kind of like Jon Walker. BUT MAYBE THAT'S JUST ME.

In addition to being close with Pete, she seems to be pretty close to Ashlee. Also, this picture is so fucking cute.

The thing is, Cassadee is a big dork in a band of dorks on a label of dorks. It works for them, as you can imagine.

GEE, WASN'T THERE A PICTURE OF NICOLE DOING THAT TO HER PURSE CHAIN?

That's Gizmo, Victoria's dog. SO CUTE.

LOL Hey Travis

Hey again! Cassadee would go onstage and sing with them and would later sing We'll Be A Dream with We The Kings to cover Demi Lovato's parts in the song.

Enough of those other dudes in bands, have some of Cassadee with the rest of Hey Monday:

HELLO, NAUGHTY SCHOOLTEACHER CASSADEE. I mean, what?

Purple is an obnoxiously good color on her.

LOLOL Something to share with the class, Mike?

But Chrissy, I hear you say, that's great about Cassadee being a dork with her band! Let's see some of Cassadee being dorky by herself!

CAN DO:

So happy over her pass! LOL I ♥ her.

LOOK AT HER SADFACE. It's 'cause she wasn't yet 21 here, ahahaha. ♥

My GOD, her ass.

That is the cutest fierce ever.

C'MON, WHERE'S THIS AU? IDK, CASS GROWS WINGS OR HAS WINGS. PETE CALLS HER HIS FAVORITE LITTLE HELLSPAWN. idk.

Dorky and hot. ♥___♥ for DAYS.

I feel like this should be captioned with 'Haters gonna hate' or something.

SO HEY, THERE'S ANOTHER FACET OF THIS PICSPAM: Cassadee Pope is a hotass.

♥____♥

I'm not creepy, I swear to god, she's posted this before. It was her prom dress, and was based off the dress at the end of How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. ♥ ♥ ♥

WATCH ME SEGUE INTO 'SHE IS SO PRETTY, OMFG'

PUPPPPPYYYYYY. That's her family's puppy...I think his name is Beau? I'm way too lazy to go check twitter right now, SO FOCUS ON THE PUPPY. PUUUPPPPYYYY.

She is so pretty.

I love love love love this picture of her.

In my head, this is a picture that Cassadee sends to Nicole after the first bit in my BGBB.

Jersey took this picture of Cassadee, and I love her face in it. That is the total face of someone not ready to leave yet.

GOOD LORD, SO PRETTY.

LOL IDEK.

First, let's take note of how tiny she is. Second, LOOK AT HER ASS, MY GOD. (Shut up, she's hot.)

No lie, she has one of the prettiest smiles in person. Like, sometimes when people smile, you're like, oh, pretty. But when you see some others smile, you're like WOW, HI, PRETTY.

This pose cracks me up, and I do not even know why. It's adorable.

SO CUTE.

So so so cute, even though I'm not wild about that lipstick.

That is the best petulant kid look ever.

She tweeted this while she was at home and I was struck by just how PRETTY she really is. Also, freckllleeesss. ♥

HEY, I'VE GOT A PICTURE OF NICOLE IN FRONT OF THE SAME BACKGROUND. (leave me alone. XD)

So, before we get into other things, you know how she's in a band? Of course you do, she's got a dorktastic band who are precious.

PERFORMANCE PICS:

I didn't get to see Hey Monday on the BND II tour in Charlotte, but I've watched plenty of videos...and good lord, she bounces around like nothing else. It's really cute and she's actually a really good frontwoman.

You're gonna have to excuse me, because MY LORD, CASSADEE'S ASS.

So on November 9th, 2009, this picture was tweeted by the lovely Nicole Anderson.

The amp is definitely on fire. was the caption and it was DELIGHTFUL.

Near the end of the Glamour Kills tour (with All Time Low, We The Kings, and Hey Monday), Cassadee participated in a photoshoot with Nicole, for a line called Young And Reckless.
