I swear y’all. My dance card’s just about full for this summer.
For any of you who have been living under a rock this summer, The Simpsons Movie just came out. And what kind of loyal lifelong fan would I be if I didn’t make my own Simpsons avatar and share it with you? No kind of loyal lifelong fan, I tell you. Go make one yourself. Then come back and share with me!
So sk*rt is official! Back in June, as you may recall, we “soft-launched” and quickly learned that there is no such thing as a soft-launch. Either you hit or you don’t. Well, as you may have figured out by now, sk*rt seems to have hit. And we couldn’t be more excited. So we declared the Blogher Conference as our official launch and it rocked the house — the feedback and excitement we’ve got has been so encouraging and feel-good. It’s all very sk*rty. To celebrate the official launch, we’ve got a variety of contests happening and coming up. Here are…
Okay, so my weekend in Chicago? Was terrific. I didn’t actually meet 800 people, which was good. Because that’s a lot of people. But I did meet beaucoup people. So many that it was crucial that everyone had nametags everyone’s name was on their boobs so we could all casually glance down and remind ourselves whose boobs we were glancing at. However, for successful glance-casual reading of boob-height nametags, the names on the tags must be printed very large. And I know that Blogher loves us and meant to print the names very large, but by accident they printed them…
Lucky me — I’m heading to Chicago on Thursday. All by myself. Once there, I get to hang out with about a million beautiful ladies who are all savvy, clever, creative and nice. Aren’t you jealous? I know you are — heck, I’m jealous. It’s BlogHer time and I’m excited. Plus, the whole shebang is going to be kicked off with an officially unofficial party at the rooftop bar at the W hotel. And sk*rt is sponsoring awesome door prizes and amazing giveaways. You can read all about it at the sk*rt blog. Then, after we get back, sk*rt becomes…
I know I know. You’re all sick to death of hearing about Harry Potter. But here I am. With more. Sorry. At this point, 2 days after the release of the final book in the Harry Potter series, it seems to me we humans fall into 4 camps: Got on line at midnight; bought book; read book for 7 hours straight; finished book; are alternately depressed that “it’s all over” and desperate for others to finish book so you can discuss it and keep it alive, for the love of pete. Waited til the hubbub died down and bought the…
That Bob. He’s run off to play with Larry this weekend at Burning Man, southern style. It’s called Transformus (not Burnin’ Mayan, for those who were wondering) and instead of a hot dry Nevada playa, it takes place in the lush NC Blue Ridge mountains. With lakes. And trees. Tonight, wondering what they were up to, I took a look at the schedule of events and found these items: Friday Evening Shortly after dark, for about an hour – “Scream & Stab” at TikiTorchure. Saturday Afternoon 2:30 Cape Sphere will be hosting the Human Carcass Wash. Become part of this…
Feeling nervous today? Here’s a video of people being scared. Straight up. Scared Part 2 – The top video clips of the week are here Happy Friday the 13th everyone. I hope no-one’s hiding in your closet with a Scream mask.
We’ve been spending a lot of time at the pool lately. So much so that you’d think we were, y’know, kids growing up in the summer. Or, er, parents of kids growing up in the summer. The main difference being that we don’t drop them off at the pool and leave them there all day to play tennis, swim and go to the canteen with their friends. Instead, we all go together. But once we’re there, we may as well not be there. They find their friends, or they find other 4-5-6 year olds, and they’re off playing with them….
