Last night I went to the Fall Fashion Release Party for Bust Magazine. If you haven't heard of BUST yet, you should check out their site. They have a great newsletter. Anyway, we all got goodie bags to take home and guess what I had in mine...
I got a device to help me pee standing up if I wanted to. I can't find the name of the product right now because my husband took it to work with him to show the office.  It was a cone that you can use to help you pee while standing.  That was THE oddest gift bag goodie I have ever received FOR SURE!
It came from one of these companies because they all sponsored the bag:
Girlie Action, LOOP, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, Lux de Ville, O'My, Rightech Co., Sailor Jerry, Seal Press, Soap Lounge, SPICE, Wee Wonderfuls
And NO it isn't Wee Wonderfuls although that would make sense wouldn't it?

A few weeks ago I got invited to attend a "Bloggers who Brunch" meeting. It's a new organization created to "celebrate and elevate the best female lifestyle and fashion bloggers". HOW EXCITING!So today was the day. We all met at Counter Restaurant (105 1st Ave) at noon. I was so nervous and excited to see who was going to be there. I went back and forth between jeans and a skirt for the majority of the morning. Thank goodness the skirt won. These women all looked amazing! I tried to snap as many pictures as possible but spent the majority of my time yapping with everyone. Here are just some of the wonderful people I met.

First up we hav Kathryn Finney (the Budget Fashionista) who is going to get Random House to send me 10 copies of her book to give away to my readers. She was such a genuine person. Her story is amazing. From a blog about bargain shopping that she wrote in her spare time, she has become THE go-to person to learn about great finds and frugal fashion.

This girl's spirit SCREAMED "Come and meet me" and I walked over to her as fast as I could. Najwa Moses is as big and outspoken as her hair. What an amazing character! She founded Styleaholics.com and was talking to us about podcasting and how it is the latest thing to do. I might get interviewed by her in the next few weeks. We exchanged cards - and I WILL follow up.

We all know this chick right? This is Danielle from Celebrity-Babies.com with her cutie in a sling. I should have talked to her about that sling. We all know how I don't get those things. She was so nice and I found out she lives RIGHT next to me. That was so amazing to meet her. I thanked her about a million times for sending so many people my way. She invited me to a celebrity gossip meeting this Tuesday and I can't wait to go. Hey Danielle, wanna car pool?

This man is a freaking genious. The more he spoke, the more I wanted to listen. Did you know that THIS is the guy who coined the term WEBSITE? CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? FREAKING WEBSITE? HELLO! Sorry - I was blown away when he was talking to the group. His name is Samir Arora and he is the CEO of the GLAM network. I am part of the GLAM network and was so happy to meet him. I became a member in May and couldn't be happier. To visit Glam - click here.

Next up we have Constance White. She is the style director for eBay. I didn't have a chance to meet up with her but she said that eBay is going to be looking for bloggers by the end of the year. So I will keep an eye out for that.

This is a horrible picture. I wish I took another one. This is MISS MEGAN! She is super famous for her love of shoes. She spoke about getting book deals in our area of expertise. To see her super awesome website - click here.

Last but not least - the goodie bag! The lunch was free, the company was amazing AND we got to take home some free stuff! This was such an amazing day. I can't wait to go to the next meeting.
I have more business cards that I got - I will post those links tomorrow. For now, take a peek at the above sites... you won't be bored!
More links here and here. I'm trying to get everyone's links up but I didn't get to meet all the people who attended. They will trickle in as I get more emails.
