Britt is teeny. And bubbly. And entirely enchanting. And I love her.

Adam is an awful, sexist, ridiculous human being that should be beaten to death who many times walked away from conversations leaving the women saying “wow, he’s so nice/sweet/cool” in a very surprised tone because those that actually took the chance to get to know him were able to realize that.

Miss‘ legs are just as great in person. And her hair is soft. And her mood is contagious. And I love her more than I could ever explain.

A tipsy Nicole is the best kind of Nicole. Our lives are paralleled in many ways, and she’s an inspiration for me.

Lex has a timeshare in Mexico and we’re taking that fucker over.

Nancy walks with a sexy twist in her hips.

Anissa + Neil + Dancefloor = The most awesome photo to sum up how much fun the MamaPop party was.

Terra can dance better than most women I know and you’ll get lost in her eyes if you stare into them for too long.

Shannon still has ridiculously soft lips.

Erin has fabulous tits.

Megan is the kind of person I wish everyone in the world was. If you know her, you know exactly what I mean.

3765925629 b51b251c0a What I Learned at BlogHer '09
All facial hair makes me itchy because Aaron’s cheek kiss caused me to break out just like Joey’s do.

3766465349 3f7bb1e16b What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Grace looks like a Disney Princess when she sleeps, all posed and perfect. But it would have been creepy to take a photo of her. I ain’t her man!

3767322952 47abf7d01f What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Angie is a whole lot of marvelous.

3767178392 b76da346e7 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Being around Maggie makes you feel like what drinking Butterbeer must – warm, fuzzy, happy, and slightly inebriated. And she makes the 80s look good.

3766575003 0ee4a33881 b What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Matthew is great in bed – lasts for hours and carries a portable sex swing with him every where he goes that he knows exactly how to use. He’s also huge, I mean like…cucumber huge.

3767166398 2a9a8d7b3a What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Mishi, oh my Mishi. She gave me a camera tutorial on the way to the airport. I love my Mishi. That’s right, my Mishi.
3766357193 ef38a94452 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Jim can take an accidental punch to the gut like a champ. There’s a reason why everyone loves him, and that there’s mine.

DSC_0311
Loralee blushes when you compliment her, especially on those amazing eyes of hers and Momo is fucking TALL. And perfect, in every way.

3766815913 ac6a9872b6 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Tanis was a virgin and Katie calms me down, and is the perfect person to chill with. Her voice to me is like Yanni to lame people.

3766838368 916e98ca68 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Kelly is too wonderful a person to not have in my life.

DSC_0499
Sweetney can’t take a bad photo, and she throws one HELL of a party.

3766503289 fb2ec292a7 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Heather B. does have a force field of awesome around her, but it’s totally easily penetrable. So maybe it’s not quite a force field…but like…a glow. Or some shit. You get what I’m trying to say, right? Heather B. = Awesome.

3766819275 7f029a5e3a What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Jenny, oh my darling Jenny. There’s nothing I can say about her except that she’s perceptive as hell and I’m staying the fuck away from Chris Mann from now on.

3766908510 b791c1b350 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Well, maybe. I mean, he’s really fucking hot. And I would be talking to him on the night I looked my absolute worst.

3766835008 137dec2120 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Rachel is just…I don’t even know. I wanted to go home with her, I’m so happy to be able to call her my friend. She is beautiful.

3767347930 0b414e1ca1 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Janet thinks I’m adorable and will give PepsiCo a lot more than they bargained for if they ask her.

3766829310 64e4fb52a8 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
V is too sexy to be my friend and I quit her now.

DSC_0303
Tara (in the middle, between the awesome Kelli & Cara) is the type of person every company should send to BlogHer to represent them. And she doesn’t snore.

DSC_0319
Tracey thought I’d be much more of an asshole, and I pleasantly surprised her. Ha. She also doesn’t snore.

3767280608 04a1574b2f What I Learned at BlogHer '09
BHJ could step on me if he wanted to, but that doesn’t intimidate me. It’s his talent that does, and I hope he changes his mind. Edit: His blog is now defunct. I feel sorry for you if you were never able to bask in his glow. Maybe he’ll return one day.

3765926969 46e228fa4c What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Kelly uses Dermologica to wash her face at night,  gives great advice and makes me laugh like no other.

3766508277 321f90aef3 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Isabel and Yvonne own the fucking dance floor when BBD comes on.

3766534461 426d55e07d What I Learned at BlogHer '09
It’s impossible not to fall madly in love with Michael.

3767342112 7646671305 What I Learned at BlogHer '09
Lindsay likes to do the robot and Angella likes to laugh at her when she does.

3767402096 a6ed3e59cb What I Learned at BlogHer '09
The gals from Canada are the sweetest/funniest/hottest.

Also, I learned that when someone else is taking my photo, I have a habit of looking at that person instead of the camera. And then I look cross eyed or something. Oh, and flash makes my eyes go lazy and I look drunk or high.
There were so many people I got to see this year, again or for the first time in the flesh that I’m really happy I did. I hope to see every single one of you there next year in New York City (NEW YORK CITY?!?).

*If you’re not here, you’re probably in my Flickrstream if you saw me point my Nikon at you, there are about 250 shots from BlogHer. And Jesus the comments on them already are so fucking funny.

You, my love, are more awesome that I expected. Your bar was set high, and you totally exceeded it.

As for Mishi, she’s mine, bitch. Back the fuck off or I will cut you deeply.

It was really a thrill to see your beautiful face up close and hear your voice. Getting that hug on Thursday night was fabulous. I can’t wait to see you again – hopefully for longer periods of time. ;-)

How about a foursome with the Canadian women? :)

I didn’t realize I had *that* much in common with Matty. I too carry a portable sex swing and enjoy a huge cucumber.
Dang. If only I hadn’t been so shy. :)

Maria, I fucking LOVE you. If you ever want to come and visit, I will roll out the red carpet accordingly. xo

I like the new tattoo. I was eavsdropping on you at the 704 party when you were telling someone about it and when I was going to say hi, you were gone. I love a good tattoo and the story behind it.

You, my friend, are such a cool gal. I’ve always loved your blog, but having met you, it’s not even comparable to how rad you are. And your photos are mesmerizing. Except for that one of me in this post. WTF? ;)

I was doin’ good. Laughing and awww’ing and loving the pics and then dammit. You have to go and do that.

I would absolutely take you home with me. I’m blessed to call you my friend and now I have to go wipe the tears from my eyes.

Maria, Thank you.

You bless me and you have for a long time and I hope that we always will bless each other and call each other friends.

Your place in my heart is more solid than steel, warmer than butterbeer and more brilliant than rainbows.

I love so much, my darling Maria.

Your BlogHer pics are by far the best I’ve seen so far. It looks like an awesome time was had by all.

It was worth all the blood I spit up after that. I think you hit a liver. But know what? Getting assaulted by you is a rare treat. I’m looking for the jab-cross-left hook combo next year.

Great to see you again.

I already have my ticket for NY. You better be there, bitch.
