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 put together woman. I? I was carrying a stack of bras. Perfect.

We’d snagged invites/permission to hit the Kirtsy/Alltop party out at Guy Kawasaki‘s house. After a freaking longer-ass than it needed to be drive and multiple turns around and 37 point turns we arrived at swag heaven.

This is Kristen from Motherhood Uncensored. Really just wanted to show that I was once close to greatness. And her shoes. Look at those awesome shoes!

VDog reunited with BOSSY. BOSSY is inspirationally good looking. There’s something about her that I totally want to get when I grow up. (VDog is wearing a new to her bra in this picture. Same style as I wore on my business cards. Oh yes, I put mah bewbs on mah cards.)

Vdog and Gdog

At long last, after many poorly constructed text messages, we made it into Mrs. Flinger’s arms.

Dawn, Victoria, Leslie and Christine

Kris of Crib Ceiling and Christine of No Watch Me, they first posed for a straight pic, then decided to do the cheesy pose.

Kris and Christine

After falling all over ourselves over how awesome a host Guy Kawasaki was, we boarded the bus again and headed back to town. And thanks to Casey for trading me some Method products for a book.

Off we went to the newbie party.

***
VDog and CityMama are tight. CityMama is uber cute. Think she’ll let me write for Savvy Source if I keep using words like “uber”?
Victoria and Stefania

***
We licked all over Mr. Lady.
Dawn, Victoria, Mr. Lady, Christine

Squee heard ‘cross the land – Loralee and Mr. Lady.

Another new bra – Maria went and got fitted and bought a new one cuz she said there was no way she was meeting me with ass chest. Look at the HAWT BEWBS courtesy of me!

Then we all started licking Loralee. VDog….
Victoria and Loralee

***

Then me … lookit – I’m so short mah head is in her bewbs! I know how Eric Schuster felt dancing with me at the 8th grade dance – totally awesome!
Loralee and Dawn

***

Christine got her turn…. Little did Loralee know how much she was going love her come the next day.
Loralee and Christine

***

Mrs. Flinger and Loralee go for some huggable action.
Loralee and Leslie

They closed the bar at the newbie party and that signaled time to head on downstairs to the People’s Party.

***

This is where Jenny and Gwen were giving an interview in a bathroom. A men’s bathroom. What? Too busy looking at Jenny’s cleavage to notice the urinal? Yeah, me too.
Jenny and Gwen

***

This is when Kyla started realizing that I’m. not. tall. I luff her.
Dawn and Kyla

***

I met Backpacking Dad, gave him mah bewbs (on mah card people!) and he showed off his vodka – and didn’t share. mmmm. vodka.
Backpacking Dad and Vodka

And by this time, it was 11pm. I’d been up since 230am California time and I gratefully fell into my Heavenly Bed and got some sleep.

My small announcement – Bloggy Giveaways Carnival is next week – I’m going to be giving away 2 bags of swag – one for a PC user and one for a Mac user – so be sure to look for that on Monday! (and uh, remind me if I forget to post… cuz that could happen…)

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 and fro.

1. Whoorl is gonna kick. my. ass. for not listening to her.

2. OMG I can’t wait to text Victoria when I get the fuck out of here.

I got home and was less than pleased to see the hair already beginning the mid summer mid west hair fro.

hair fro

After a while I was able to tame it into some nice mommy hair.

good mommy hair

But after a scant 30 minutes outside. Dun dun DUN!
effin' rachel cut again

The mother fucking Rachel flip. Again.

So I let it go curly. And was much pleased. As was Miss Sarah, who is totally beautiful in person (and in her pictures, but she passes muster up close too.)

Whoorl and mah hair

She says she thinks it still need to be redder, but the blonde is fun for summer. I completely agree with her and can’t WAIT to go get some more red in mah hairs.

THEN, this wonderful unknown to me photog named Josh Hallet took this insanely hot picture of me.

Damn.

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. Even though it hurt, even though I get it a little too well. She got a standing O when she was finished, and she completely deserved it. Click here to read about her Leap of Faith.

And then Casey read The Overdose and I was undone again. She got the other standing O of the keynote.

And then, God, Jesus, Ninjas and Zombies (and mythical hobbits too), The Bloggess came out and made me laugh … niiiiine times. She was a little drunk reading about being a little High.

(Yes, yes, yes, I’m gonna blog about BlogHer for a while – because I want to share my favorite moments with you, and you, and yes, you too!)

Pre BlogHer Haze

Oh it’s a great haze. Got up at 230am Cali time after getting 3 hours of sleep. Flew with hubs and tiny toddler tornadocane. 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 my computer in the garbahzhe because the wireless is shit and I”m having to blog at BlogHer on Scout’s PC intead of my Mac.

Have mutually played the who the fuck are you game with Loralee and then fell into each others’ arms.

Have suppressed urge to throw Mr. Lady down on the ground and make sweet, sweet like to her. And take a photo for Audubon Ron.

Have shown my new hair to Whoorl – which yes, I know, means ya’ll deserve pix. See above comment re: computer issues at BlogHer.

Have been to Guy Kawasaki‘s house.

Have had the BEST vodka tonic’s ever made. See drunk and why I can’t link right now.

Have taken photo of the Bloggess giving an interview next to a urinal with Gwen from Kirtsy.

Have talked to Doodaddy and strangely got all chicken about talking to Cry it out Mike.

But wasn’t too chicken to attach mah bewbs to CityMama‘s BlogHer badge. (I’m a little shamed of that now.)

Given big big hugs to Kyla, JCK and Playgroupie.

And certainly not least, got to hear Mrs. Flinger say fuck. More than once.

Wish you were all here, I’m helping show Carl a wonderful time.
