Dress: Dress Barn

In this dress, walking eleven blocks to the first event that I photographed, I got hit on.
A man noticed my beauty, through all my sweat.
I’d like to say it was the red lipstick and patent leather heels.
I won’t lie, it felt good.  I ate it up.
And, it set my mood for the whole night.
I don’t care who you are, I think you should hear that you’re beautiful.
I don’t care who you are, I think you should tell others that they are beautiful.

Photographers came together to outline a discussion.
Friends walked out the other side of the panel even before it started.
The blessing of our Photography Panel at BlogHer.
I venture to say that this was one of my favorite things from the conference.

My feet were shot due to that eleven block walk.
I would only be able to wear embellished flip-flops the rest of the weekend.
But, this dress was made for me.
Flip-flops or not.
If there was one dress that ever fit like a glove, it IS this one!
This was the point where I realized my obligations were over.
This was the point that my conference started.
You can see the relief in my face.

Lotus and I stole time away for a photo-walk.
It wasn’t long, but it was full of quality time.
The streets filled with cute rickshaw dudes.
The park filled with people of all types.
Flowers, horses, architecture—the perfect place?
She and I took similar shots, I’m sure.
Because we have a similar eye.
Her friendship has been one of the great gifts.

Finally, I did it; I stumbled into a Jenny party!
Stumbled, for real, because I was DRUNK.

Sunday in the City with Aiming Low friends.
Frozen hot chocolate, a burger with steak fries.
A candy shop and a baby infinity times sweeter.

Monday and Tuesday were spent mostly alone.
At one point I met one of my friends from Flickr at 30 Rock.
I ate more street meat and even walked around with only my phone in hand.
Later, I met another friend in her office.
I ran into some stragglers from the conference, too.
I finally ate at an Indian restaurant.
I had my first subway ride.
I went to Queens.
I drank an Appletini with an old friend.
I slept lightly, dreaming of home.

Last weekend was The The Hebrew National Better-than-a-Picnic-Picnic in Atlanta.   It was the final picnic on the nationwide tour of picnics that went from May to July, involving 47 fellow bloggers.   I was thrilled to be a part of it. The day was hot and steamy, but that didn’t stop us; they don’t call it “Hotlanta” for nothing!

Centennial Olympic Park was bustling with families and activities.   Many friendly faces came out to see us and enjoy the afternoon.

We collected diapers, wipes, and toys for The Atlanta Children’s Shelter, and school supplies for other local charities.

Thank you to all who came out.   Here’s a visual re-cap of the day:

The following mosaic of pictures are going to be part of an in-kind project of smiling faces that we’ll be presenting to the Atlanta’s Children’s Shelter:

Thank you Hebrew National and The Motherhood for helping us host such a great event!
