A podcast by MAKENA. Siena and Toast, two Hawaii girls, talk about being gay, Asian-American, mostly-vegan, lessons learned as performing and recording singer-songwriters, and their relationship. Plus, listener contests, laughing, inspiration, and encouragement.

We address the biggest myth about vegetarian eating. This ep's picture on www.GirlMeetsGirlPodcast.com: These cowboy bunnies are getting ready for Halloween...we've been waiting for months to post pics of these bunnies up here!

Congrats to Bethany, winner of the Center for Inspirational Living canvas tote
