I don’t go to a lot of mom blogger gatherings. Was it something I vlogged? There are bloggers that seem to know everyone, I don’t think I’m that person. I haven’t been to any of the BIG events, but over the last year I have been invited to a few smaller gatherings and it is nice to meet the sisters. One a few weeks back was hosted by Romy Raves in the SF Valley. It was the OPI Salon where I actually had done a segment as host of the Fashion Team there ( you know, before they downsized me to occasional correspondent) it’s a nice place where you can get a massage and pretty nails.
This soiree was sponsored by Therapon skin. I can’t give a review of it yet as I still haven’t cracked open the sampler box they tucked under my arm that night. If that cute gal Christina who reps them is any indication I’ll be dropping my dreams of a scapel. She said this is stuff for your skin that was developed by a plastic surgeon. She is a darling Southern Belle who made the party possible and allowed me to gorge myself on LASAGNE cupcakes. Sounds gross? well, It’s in the form of a cupcake, but no batter, more like a lasagna bomb. Also cupcakes from Magnolia bakery ( just ordered some mini’s for Rex’s bday party)
Ran into Candice of fashionably organized. We love to talk charter schools and fringe neighborhoods we can afford.
Lots of the gals were getting that new Katy Perry crackle nail thing, not my bag. But, nice to have a little color on these worn paws.
That’s why I need to listen to my friend Carolyn who always says, “go where your invited.” Highlight for me was when a gal said, “I just watched Rex’s wallet service!” Felt like a star.
Nice post. And nice photography by JennKL. I’m surprised you’re not invited to more of those gay soirees. Seems like you and Dooce should be getting out more and making fun of each other on your blogs. Or is she too busy.
Anyway, nice to meet your local friends.
I still believe there’s a way to revolutionize this blogging media, with a star like you at the helm. Need I remind there is NOBODY with your regular filming output, all high quality and interactive. Plus that performing gene you have. And the cute sister and cool savvy mom.
I’m not sure why all the Wendy Williams and Oprahs refuse to feature your blog address whenever they capitalize from your “I’m a blogging mom and here’s what I think…” offerings. I saw it with Momversation and I still don’t see nearly enough satisfying web-fomercials, advertising the simple concept of A BLOG with entertainment AND professionalism. There should be a campaign inserted around women’s TV, maybe even on the OWN network. I’d LOVE to see you there.
Just trying to start your Monday on the right foot. I have two sick kids, am 7 uncomfortable months pregnant. And chatty.
omg congrats. it’s hard to be sunny when every thing aches! bless your heart, should you be my agent? yes, I think so.
