BlogHer '08 is getting off to a bang!

First, let me say, the ladies are looking fabulous! I have seen many hot summer fashions with many metallic accessories. Bronze is smoking hot right now! We are also being treated to the sight of ridiculously-high wedges that women are somehow impressively able to walk in, albeit not far (I love them!). Many women are also rocking the cool casual looks.

Bronze is everywhere! 

Last night  The People's Party, sponsored by motherbumper, One Plus Two, The Bloggess, Oh, The Joys!, IzzyMom, and Velveteen Mind was loud and chaotic, and though there was a dearth of drinking tickets your inturgid reporter was able to scrounge some up off the floor. Go team! Drinking to excess was curtailed by the fact that domestic beer was eight dollars a bottle! Yikes!

Some of made it over to Guy Kawasaki's house for the Kirtsy/Alltop party. I was promised an inflatable kid bouncer but did not see one. The food and the company more than made up for it, though, so thank you Mr. Kawasaki (who was looking very fetching in a pink and black leopard-spotted hat!).

If you have some free time here at the conf (yeah right), I hear there is a chance to play some Blogher bingo. Prizes include a fetching bathrobe, perfect for if your name is something like, say, Westin St. Francis. If that is not the name of a soap opera character, then that is criminal.

Breakfast was fun but there was talk of sugar crashes ahoy! The pastries were very nice, but some of us were craving some protein after the hard work we put in last night (ahem). Warning: don't put the Zivio oil on your forehead or let anyone else do it to you. I am touch typing this as I cannot see anything, But I sure smell minty. In fact, the scoop was that no matter where you put the Zivio oil, it burned.

Heard/Seen

* Nursing at the introversion panel, right next to me. And many, many other adorable babies.

* Oh my Xanax! "My Xanax is wearing off." "I didn't bring enough Xanax." Yes, there are crowded rooms and LOTS of people here.

* Gwendomama models the size of the free Bluetooth swag versus the size of the packaging, Holy cats!

* Many, many chunky-funky beaded necklaces for sale by street vendors. Turquoise seems to be the hot color--goes great with bronze.

* Remodel at the hotel! Thank goodness they leave the signs in situ, or else we would be lost in the maze.

* Our fearless leader Lisa Stone says "FEH" to bronze and wedges.

(Yes, they are sideways. I don't have my Photoshops on the road with me and photobucket is acting up.)

That's the insider's report! Got any seen/heard comments of your own? Hit me!
