[Ha! I was still tired from blogger prom that I totally wrote the title as Blogger Porm. Good thing I didn't write that with a 'N"] A big thank you to the Blogger Prom Committee, all the generous vendors who participated in the event, and of course the Andaz West Hollywood for such a great location. Just a quick recap in pictures before I breakdown the night in a later post. The swag bag is a post in itself. Free Drinks  (there is a happy face in my flower btw) Pretty sure this was a winning ticket...ahem But B won!   (photo from Caroline On Crack 's flickr) Mini cupcakes to die for Rooftop Pool to gaze into -only one blogger swam And of course a wonderful view of Los Angeles Can't wait for next year!?!

It's blurry, zoomed in and over-exposed on purpose. Nothing too wacky but I love how it completes my outfit. Click the pic and check out all the attending bloggers and all the great swag from some cool and generous companies. It's going to be hella cool with the free drinks, food, and prizes among much cooler people than I could ever be. :) Less than 2 days to Blogger Prom 2009 ! Um, now I'm nervous meeting some of these folks!

In a short time I'll be decked out in this sweet, shiny blue vintage-y suit (actually maybe just retro in style now that I think about it) for the upcoming Blogger Prom . B and I were worried that this weekend would be spent searching through rack after rack of almost good outfits and the lust-worthy, perfect combination seemingly never in our price range. Thanks to the wonder that is Yelp we narrowed down a list of clothing shops starting in Los Feliz, working down through Silver Lake and Echo Park, and if need be, the fashion district in Downtown tomorrow. Luckily our second stop was Luxe De Ville where the owner Oskar warmly greeted us upon entering. This store had a great selection of dresses for B and some wonderful suits that met my straightforward needs: something colorful and retro fun. With Oskar's help I found a suit that fitted off the rack and he helped add a  good shirt and tie to complete the look. B had a little more trouble finding anything until Oskar...

[click the label at the bottom to see all Blogger Prom 2009 posts] One of the coolest events I've been invited to is the (hopefully 1st annual) Blogger Prom 2009 in July. I'm flattered to be invited* and with B as my partner in crime, we're excited to relive our so-so high school with better style, better booze, and cooler peeps. Now I need to get a cool suit should I rent/buy the cheesiest one ever?. Stay tune for future updates as we prepare for (in stadium announcer voice) Blogger Prom 2009 . Now if I can get TequliaCon to come to Los Angeles... *I know I don't blog as openly as I use to, have a ton of commentators like the blogs I follow, or hell, blog as much as I did even a few years ago. Despite this I still comment, I try my best to promote the better blogs out there because this whole blogging thing is important to me. Basically this is the "thing I do" in life beyond family, friends and work. This is my bowling team.
