It happens that when I get together with friends, I get a little silly, it used to be that I could blame the booze but as I no longer imbibe, I just have to accept that I’m a crazy person. Blogher14 is the mark on the calendar I’ve been waiting for to meet dear Lucy and so many other friends. We booked our tickets immediately following the announcement that Jenny Lawson AKA The Bloggess was a keynote.
There was no way I was missing meeting her because obviously we were going to become best friends and chat everyday on the phone. The excitement I felt the day she followed me on twitter brought my inner fangirl out so imagine knowing I was going to get to meet her. And so I set about reminding her how wonderful I was so that she’d know me when we met face to face. And by experience I’ve learned the best way to be remembered is to stand out and so @thebloggess received tweets on a very regular basis letting her know that we’d be getting her to sign our boobs at Blogher14 … because why not, right?
We even bought the book again ( I had the electronic version but paper is better for signing) and counted down until the day. We totally skipped the newbies breakfast so as to get a good seat in the auditorium for Jenny and were not disappointed when we were the second row back.
She was hilarious, humble, real and above all awesome !
At the end of her segment, they announced she would be signing books in the exhibition hall so we hauled ass to get a good spot, patting ourselves on the back for already having a book and not having to line up to purchase one!
When it was our turn to be with her Lucy got all fangirl and thought she was going to pass out which naturally she shared and got all flustered and forgot to ask her to sign, but I reminded her and Jenny said “Well I wasn’t gonna beg”, because she totally remembered and I think secretly looked forward to it. My turn and I presented her with a kangaroo scrotum purse, which she loved! She said she was making a kangaroo and this would be perfect! I offered up my sharpie and unsigned flesh and she did her thing and then held my face lovingly for the camera, don’t ever let anyone tell you scrotums won’t get you places!
We left to raucous applause, knowing those left in line were pissed they didn’t think of it. We spent the rest of the day showing anyone and everyone our boobs because we’re classy like that, even going back to the room to put on more revealing tops! We were to talk of the day…
Later on at the Angel Soft booth, where we got to sit in a bathroom together and discuss our habits, the girls suggested we get David Tutera to sign the other one, yeah I don’t know him either but never let that stand in the way of a good boob signing!
The following day, with fresh flesh (sharpies really do wash off) on the exhibition floor we bumped into the Militant Baker, and if you don’t read her you really should cos she’s FAHunny! We asked if she’d sign our boobs, of course she agreed and that’s how she popped her boob signing cherry! You never forget your first.
On Saturday we met Arianna (Huffington duh), and we figured she was too posh to sign boobs but then again maybe not, she did tell us all to sleep to the top. We didn’t ask but she did sign Lucy’s ipad mini. Sometimes I get other good ideas.
Later at lunch, with boobs still the theme for the day our new friend Jessica from Domestic Pirate, was using our room as a dairy because her hotel was blocks away and she was pumping to keep her supply for the little tit mouse at home, (phew, long sentence, take a breath) heard a baby cry in the back of the room and BAM did her boobies let down!
So naturally we laughed and took photos cos we’re super supportive like that!
Let’s face it boobs are funny and fun, we’ve all got them and should get them out as much as possible, possibly… or not, yeah I’ll show myself out.

It’s important to love your boobies.
Your BOOBALICIOUS recap is HILARIOUS!
So glad I was able to meet you in person at BlogHer! And help take photos of your autographed tatas!
Look forward to seeing your boobs again at the next conference!

I make no promises… oh who am I kidding, wanna see my boobies? (.)(.) wha?
I love the ENTIRE paragraph about Jessica and the dairy hotel room and the tit mouse and all in your adorable accent!
I should have had YOU sign MY boobs.
*sigh*

Haha! Next time!
Haha – you crack me up! I’m such a dope – I had no idea you’d had your boob signed by The Bloggess, which is why I jokingly asked you if you wrote all your blog ideas on your boob. I really think boobs are the new autograph books. You shoulda asked Ariana to sign your tatas. Loved hanging with you and glad we live so close so we can hang again when it won’t cost us over a grand. 😉

YES! I’m always free!…. I have so many questions that didn’t get answered.
I totally remember when The Bloggess started following me on Twitter too. Sigh. I’m so jealous right now I could spit. In fact, I might. Ummm…maybe I should wait until I’m outside!

Yes that might be best especially if you clean your own home…She was pretty cool.
That is a lot of boob signage! I am glad you had a good time and I am glad we got to meet!

Lillian You are so lovely! I’m so pleased to have met you too.
So glad I met you there! You totally rocked at meeting The Bloggess. I fail at meeting fabulous famous-like people, as I always say the wrong thing. Always.

Yeah I’m not always awesome! I was pretty star struck when Chris Meloni was at the same christmas party I was …He felt uncomfortable and left.
Boobs totally are awesome. You are awesome. Totally.
