I went to NYC for Blogher 2010.  It was awesome.

I took MegaBus from Philly to New York on Thursday morning.  Then I went on a tour of Ellis Island with Liberty Mutual.

 

It was 104 degrees.

Hot enough to cause my makeup to slide off my greasy face.

 

Hot, but awesome.  I met a bunch of cool bloggers.

 

Then I went back to the hotel and Laura and I cracked open a bottle of Veuve.

 

Then we went to a few parties in the hotel and played "I Never"."I Never"is actually not all that exciting when you are 41.  Although I have not done everything, like some of my slutty friends.

On Friday morning, the conference officially started.

I posed with a wax figure of Bruce Jenner.  Well, I thought he was wax BUT THEN HE SPOKE.

I ate Jimmy Dean sausage.

I thought about attending a session, you know, to learn something.  Mostly I walked around the Expo Hall and stalked Padma Lakshmi and stocked up on free stuff that I told myself I did not need, and did not want.  Except I did want the free multiple pairs of Spanx and the Luna bars and $50 coupons from Soap.com.

I also had my makeup done and I looked hot.  Trust me.

 

See?  SMOKING.  Also Sparkly.

 

My sister @Meribon came to party with us on Friday night.

It was so much fun to hang out with a bunch of the Peevers from The Peevery.

On Saturday I actually did attend a few sessions and also walked around the Expo Hall again, got my makeup done again by my new BFF Debra, makeup artist to the stars.  Michelle scored an invite for the two of us to go to a private party at some snazzy salon on 9th where I had my hair did and drank seventeen glasses of sangria and then we crashed the vibrator party at the Warwick Hotel.  Where I scored my very first vibrator.  YES I AM 41 AND I'VE NEVER HAD A VIBRATOR BEFORE. 

You can stop reading now, mom.

Then, back to the Hilton.  I did not eat a snowcone. I did eat everything else.  And I drank 10,000 glasses of red wine.

 

I stole this sign from somewhere.  I can't remember exactly where.

 

I danced, I wore neon necklaces as a headband and I had a blast.

Then I went to the CheeseburgHer party and snarfed down a cheeseburger and then I went to my room to throw up.

I love how you intersperse culture (Ellis/Statue of Liberty) with debauchery. For that, and the gratuitous vibrator mention, this post gets a 9/10.

The Statue of Liberty headdress makes it art

OMG, I was totally ready to believe that the Bruce Jenner thing was really a wax mannequin, so I actually kind of yelped out a laugh when you said it spoke. Is he as scary-looking in person? Also, why the hell was he there?

Also, why no picture of the vibrator?! Or are you shielding your mom? :-D

I'm wondering the same thing as Rebecca, where's the vibrator pic? Oh, and you did look hot with you make-up "did" even in the public restroom with the stall doors as your backdrop.

I too, was also fooled by the "Bruce Jenner wax statue/kidding! it's really him" photo. Creepy.
