California, Here I Come

August 17, 2009 by WendyB

I’m heading to L.A. today. If you are in the area and want to meet me and some gorgeous bloggers for dinner on Wednesday, let me know ASAP! You’ll get a chance to meet:

  • ENC of Observation Mode
  • La Belette Rouge
  • Alicia from Instant Vintage
  • Sister Wolf from Godammit, I’m Mad
  • Deja Pseu from Une Femme d’un Certain Age
  • Stef from Sideshow by the Seashore
  • Tara from Doll Cannot Fly
  • Fashion Is Poison

I’ll be the one who looks like this:

C'est moi!

C'est moi!

Thanks to The Vegetable Assassin creating the portrait. Now if I met Whistler’s mother, I’d be all like, “In your face, bitch! My portrait is so much better than yours.”

    Having met WendyB (and Mr.B) I must say that if you are in LA and don’t meet her, you are insane and possibly a terrorist.

    LA is fun, but be sure not to miss out on the wonder and beauty of Moreno Valley while you’re in So. Cal!

    That’s so cute! What a wonderful drawing!

  31. KT says

    August 17, 2009 at 9:43 pm

    You guys suck. OK, I almost feel guilty saying that. It is only my jealousy at a bunch of cool bloggy chicks having dinner and I don’t get to come. Cuz I’d want to. And I would in a hot minute. Any chance you girls want to fly into Ohio?
    For real?
    P.S. Mucho hugs to La Belette please since I can’t give them myself. And Karen if she is there. Bitches. (I’m only pouting. Sorry again. Acting out. Jealous.)

  32. jennine says

    August 17, 2009 at 9:45 pm

    oh man… that sounds like it would be a blast…
    on that note, this time you\’ll be flying right over me.
    my eyes will be on the sky!
