Bloggers’ Delight

May 17, 2008 by WendyB

The handsome street-style blogger Craig of Altamira NYC was kind enough to arrange a bloggers’ get-together this evening. Be sure to keep an eye on his blog for photos. He took a few pictures of me standing on the street and after a shot or two, suggested I try a pose that looked a more “feminine.” This advice — coming so soon after my disastrous attempts to compose my face for Marie Claire, my evening of inflatable cheeks, and the fact that hairstylist-to-the-stars Keith Carpenter so despaired of getting a decent photo of me that he told me to go home and practice poses in the mirror — has convinced me that I am graceless enough to get a starring role on America’s Next Crap Model. Imagine the fun Jay Manual would have rolling his eyes at me. Tyra, I’m waiting by the phone.

I wore the Ossie Clark dress I won on eBay thanks to Sharon Rose, who pointed it out. This is currently my favorite Ossie. Thanks, Sharon Rose!

Photo by MrB — Craig’s will be much better!

All the bloggers in attendance were so nice. I figure I should leave the full report and photography to Craig, but I can’t resist sharing a shot of iCiNG‘s Gala Darling.

She really IS darling!

And the beauteous Patricia of Bobble-Bee, who was sporting a fabulous hairdo, must be thanked for bringing me a gift from Spain.

Red is my favorite color.

I had to leave a little early to attend a friend’s elopement party, so I’m looking forward to hearing how the rest of the evening went.

UPDATED TO ADD: Here’s Craig’s link. I’m so impressed by Doshka’s jump!

    Want to be in the City, so bad. There’s like a blogger celebrity circle that keeps happening/making me jealous.

    Thanks for coming Wendy! It was of course a pleasure to see you again and I like the “flirtatious” angle from which the photo of you peeking out from behind the fan was taken…

    You smile a lot in pictures and I never smile.
    I remember being five and having my Dad tell me to smile for pictures.
    They always end up looking forced and insincere- yours are very natural…

    Love them sleeves on your Ossie Clark!
    You were right, Craig’s photo did loads more justice to you and your dress…looks like he did manage to get you to ‘work it’ more…sorry, Mr B.

    That dress is stunning on you! And I love the red fan shot. Sounds like a great time was had by all at the Blogger get together. I really must get together with Gala, both being Melbourne girls and all.

    Sounds like so much fun! And no matter, I think you look terrific in that dress! But I do know how you feel… I may be one of the least photogenic people in history, especially when other people are behind the camera…
