BlogHer – Thursday Par-tays

Photo goodness for your Friday enjoyment! (Tiny announcement at the bottom.) Our flight was uneventful. Alex yet again was a spectacular flyer, and apparently Delta doesn’t care how he old he is either. We got downtown, got settled in our room at the Westin, and got hooked up with VDog. As I rode in the elevator to meet her, I was between a rather gruff looking guy and a perfectly.. Read More

Hair – On a very special BlogHer recap

One good thing about the BlogHer conference is that it prompted me to get off my ass and actually remember the whole Hawtalucion. So I went on a journey of hair proportions. I asked your advice and the majority said EXTREME MAKEOVER DAWN’S BLOGHER HAIR EDITION. I did NOT want the Rachel. The entire time in the chair, as I watched hair fall, I had two thoughts that jump to.. Read More

A couple of props to a couple of BlogHers

This is short cuz I’m tired and all. But I keep thinking about how much I loved hearing Mr. Lady’s voice reading her words at the Friday night keynote.

And then Casey read The.. Read More

Pre BlogHer Haze

Made it to the hotel and fell down exhausted in gratitude of checking in early. (Will link later – as in – when I’m not drunk on free booze.) Have hugged VDog and given her bras. Have bonded with No Watch Me Christine. Have contemplated throwing.. Read More

Ripping off a Poem

Twas the night before BlogHer and all through my house there was packing and cursing thank God no mouse. * The flasks were filled in the kitchen with care In hopes that Mr. Lady would sure want to share. * The Kaiser was passed out all sprawled in HIS bed While visions of shoe shopping danced in my head. Scout on the computer and I on the floor Declared that.. Read More
