Mavericks in the Morning
Not that we'd like to make it a habit of getting our news from such elite liberal websites as Jezebel, but this is probably the only time we will ever agree with them.

Oh, Wow, The Really, Really Original Lady Maverick
http://www.maverick.com/
The maverick history from wikipdedia:
"The name of the company is derived from the first letters of founder Madonna's name (MAdonna VEronica) and the end of the name of her then-manager (FredeRICK DeMann). Consisting of a record company, music publishing, television, film, merchandising and book-publishing divisions. It was a joint venture between Madonna and Time Warner as part of a $60 million recording and business deal.[1] DeMann was bought out of the company for a reported $20 million in 1998, after which Guy Oseary increased his stake in the company and took control as Chairman and CEO.
Maverick's record division has had noted triumphs with acts like Alanis Morissette, Michelle Branch, The Prodigy, Candlebox, and the band Deftones. The label also had success with soundtracks for The Wedding Singer, Jackie Brown and The Matrix. The film division has had moderate success with motion pictures such as Agent Cody Banks and television comedy The Riches.[2]
In March 2004, Madonna and Maverick filed suit against Warner Music Group and its former parent company, Time Warner Inc., claiming that mismanagement of resources and poor bookkeeping had cost the company millions of dollars. In return, WMG filed a countersuit, alleging that Maverick had lost tens of millions of dollars on its own.[3] [4] On June 14, 2004, the dispute was resolved when Maverick shares owned by Madonna and Dashev were purchased — which effectively exiled the two of them from the company as it was now a wholly owned subsidiary of Warner Music. Oseary, meanwhile, remains CEO."
The most maverick? Having a "Coming Soon" website (with that horrible noise) for a company that's been around for 16 years.

Just For the Record...
At this point, our blog has more content than the Original Lady Mavericks. Just sayin'.
Mavericky Banner
Hi, welcome to Lady Mavericks! We're just a couple of Lady Mavericks, and here we will write about all of the mavericky things we do every day.
Like, for starters, you might notice that our banner doesn't fit inside its box. That is because we don't need to make all of our images fit inside borders like everyone else does! Think outside the box ladies ... the banner-bordering box. We sure did.

Hello, and How a Lady Maverick Makes a Hot Beverage
Dear readers, we hope to use this blog to let you know what we are doing, our successes, our opinions and why we are Lady Mavericks. We will post daily with various Maverick Actions we take in our day to day lives as Average Americans. We may not all be Ladies, but the Original Lady Maverick Himself, Michael Palmer would certainly let that slide. I'll start off with a Maverick Action I took this afternoon.
So many levels of Maverick here. Follow closely.

Step 1: Usin' my own cup. Like an Independent Maverick, not beholden to no one for nothin'.

Step 2: Choosing "Exotic Chai" -- a Maverick Choice. "Japanese Green" is in the tank.

Step 3: Brewing the tea -- Strong. Like a Strong Maverick.

Step 4: It seems pretty straightforward, but oh, wait -- what's THAT? An espresso pack?!

Step 5: Unwaveringly inserting the espresso pack...

... unflinchingly adding a shot of espresso...

right on top of the "Exotic Chai". Mavericciatto!
