In the spirit of pretending that I learned something useful at Blogher other than I wear a size 2 Diva Cup, I am determined not to be the last to post a wrap-up. I realize the blogosphere is on fire with all of the useful information gleaned from the sessions and the fawning over of new friends, but what I took away from my Blogher experience had more to do with self discovery.
- My Twitter avatar might as well bark. Apparently I look better in person.
- I skipped more classes than I ever did in school.
- Even though the session was not graded, I still wanted to sleep with this moderator and this moderator of Page to Stage.
- I look hot in my eyedews, but I shouldn't fall asleep with them on.
- I am still a half ass blogger sandwiched between real writers and product pimps. It would behoove me to write out an actual bio even if it would probably hurt my head more than 4 martinis in 3 hours.
- With that said, I was a filthy liar at the Blogher Expo and took all of the free shit the sponsors were doling out.
- I should have rethought the yellow nail polish. It wasn't that great applied and the post polish remnants resemble that of a 2 pack a day smoker in need of a Lamisil prescription.
- I actively disliked a few people who I thought I would like. Buy me a drink and I'll tell you who.
- Along the same lines, the chick that ended up with Zach Galifianakis from Sparkle Corn wasn't a nice drunk and I totally am. Except when I'm talking about the bitch who took Zach Galifianakis from the Sparkle Corn party.
- I didn't miss my family until Sunday and really I may have just been tired.
- I should have stocked up on lube from Eden's Fantasy because I would really like to go to Blogher 12 in NYC.
- I'm not a firework, I'm a blogger.
Is an obligatory blog post like obligatory sex?
In which case, did I miss dinner?
Also, did you see that you made one of the illustrations? Um..sort of.
Great product placement. And I'd bet Craig would be OK with the trade-off.
Ok.. comment take 2.
I had a super awesome comment & blogland ate it. Now I can't remember what the frack I even said of course. Damn aging & amnesia.
Love the eyedews. I know EXACTLY what you mean by falling asleep. I might have done that the other night. I may have woken up with shriveled pieces of something near my head. Or in my hair.
Also? Since I love good gossip, I'm willing to buy you a case of whatever you booze you drink to get the juicy details. Share, please.
I was thinking about you all day today! Wondering where you were and why I hadn't had a chance to read your blog or FB lately…and now…I know!!! I love this…I am NOT a blogger or a writer, maybe a product pimp? hmmmm…I like that!
Since your post and Lori's post are so right on about BlogHer (and funny) I will just link to them and skip my post-BlogHer post.
Loved, loved meeting you and chewing your ear off over dinner. I mean, in a non-sexual way of course.
Love you, love this post and I want a copy of that photo of us.
Oh, and I'll buy you a cocktail and you don't have to tell me shit.
I just need to tell you that I am so glad I met and hung out with you. You are beautiful, both in your avatar and in person, you make me laugh and are REAL.
I like REAL.
Also, I have not been kidnapped. #Snort
xoxoxoox
If I ever make it to a blog conference, you are on my must meet list. I'll even buy you 2 drinks AND you don't have to tell me anything
I will buy you a drink, but I am not going to lie I will want to know who it is that you don'tlike and all about those eyedews.
Most excellent post on BlogHer.
Which is why I'm doing mine next week, so's there's no comparisoning going on.
Mine'll be lame.
It has to be.
I'm still too tired from not sleeping.
Glad you had fun. It was great, wasn't it?
Yes, you are a blogger! There's no half assed about it.
And you are way hotter in person than your avatar, best skin ever!
Yes…what they all said! I'm still tired and dammit if I can't think of enough original stuff to say about it and I'm nowhere near as funny as you to make fun of it all.
Love ya my friend!!
love it. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to cross your path!
I keep on hearing that I'd have been fine there . . . that I'd have fit in well with the sessions, and because I'm not afraid to make an ass out of myself on the dance floor, would have been "a hit."
Then, I read about divacup fittings and I realize this wasn't for me
Looks like a great time (I write as I try to figure out how to get somewhere to buy you a drink to figure out who didn't tickle your fancy . . . and I realize that I'll likely be in NYC when BlogHer12 is there)
you better fucking e-mail me.
Love this! Because how can you not love a post that has lube and divacup in it?!
The assortment of things I brought home from Blogher was so funny. I guess Thermacare and a vibrator go hand in hand. Or hand in errrr….
What I really want to know is how much swag did you get? Were there lots of freebies left and right to make up for the crazy costs associated with this mission? And, was it a hormonal nightmare with nothing but wall to women all weekend?
What if it was flat MK I didn't like?
There was a ton of free stuff there for the taking and even more at some of the private parties. I didn't hit it as hard core as some of the women, but yes I think it would probably offset some of the cost. It's in NYC next year, so it's just a hop, skip, and a jump for you.
I think there was a little in fighting between some women, but I didn't see much of that. I had an excellent time.
Nothing says love like bringing home your lady a size 2 Diva Cup.
There is always NYC! And who knows maybe we did
I have a Youtube video you could post that would be sure to get a few laughs.
I hate when that happens. Maybe if I make it to the St. Jude marathon or Blissdom or you go to Blogher2012. I don't want written documentation!! I may be honest, but I'm not crazy
It must have been that spray tan…good investment I guess.
I can't wait to read about Blogher from your eyes. It mus have been a whirlwind experience. I really enjoyed sitting across from you at dinner the first night. I didn't care for my food, but the company was royal.
I have a free sample. I'll share.
How long of a plane ride is it for you? It might be worth it – was pretty fun.
I wanted to hijack the kidnapping attempt and stuff you in your Tory Burch tote and take you home with me, but I don't think I'd win the leg wrestling match.
I know, right? The Page to Stage moderators were total hotties.
I so have this fear of going to BlogHer and meeting people I love and them being totally disappointed. =( Or better yet the people I love being total bitches and avoiding me. So that is why I stay at home. Well, maybe not next year since Ohio isn't too far from NY.
My dearest Poppy. You of course were at the TOP of my must meet list.
And now? You're at the top of my "Most Motorboat worthy" list.
Loved you and your boobs.
Also, we so have to have some quiet sober time together!
I didn't like you when I was sober. I am Totally joking LOVE YOU LONG TIME!

Lamisil! I love it. But not as much as I love you.
Seriously, it was so fantastic hanging out with you and Erin – thank you for letting me tag along! And next time, maybe I won't be such a drag and be able to party. We'll see.
As the New Kids On the Block would say, hang tough, Lori. It was great playing hookie with you.
xo the Chalupa
You should get Eden's Fantasy to sponsor a give away… call it "Win a trip to Blogher12…or at least a back rub." Of course, I'd love to go – but I don't think there's enough lube in the world to get me there.
I'm not a firework I'm a blogger
LOVE.
Size 2 for the win. Only the best bloggers get 2s.
You are NOT a half-assed blogger. You nailed (heh, get it) exactly what is wrong with yellow nailpolish. That is valuable content right there.
"The bitch who took Zach Galifianakis from the Sparkle Corn party" is officially my new favorite way to describe women I don't get along with. My husband is just going to have to deal.
Ok where did you get a Diva Cup? I only got the reusable piece of plastic thing…
What? not the point of the post?
As usual I miss the point.
Does a virtual drink work?
Of course I'm dying to know who it was but I understand your need for discretion online. So when I come up to you in NYC with an entire tray of drinks, don't be surprised.
Meanwhile…really? They were measuring for Diva Cups?
Your hotness seems to be the talk of all the blogher recaps. And now, because I wasn't there I have to google Diva Cup.
Sorry I didn't meet you in San Diego. I am going to totally stalk you from this point on…
It's taken me a while to be able to read this post…I'm still pouting that I wasn't there. Pretty sure you would have liked me…and if you didn't, I would have plied you with drinks.
I so would have liked you. Start saving for New York, it's closer to you, right?
I've missed your blog. I am also proud to say that I did not for one whole month think of the words diva and cup. Thank you for rectifying the situation for me.
You chose your sabbatical wisely. There was a whole month of mom blogs reviewing and pitching the Diva Cup. I neither reviewed or won one.
