A challenge and a contest…
I’ve decided that am I’m going to post a picture of myself…but not yet. (such a tease) Next week, I’ll slap my face up here so that all of you going to Blogher can recognize me and offer to pick up my bar tab. Seriously, with all of the picture taking that will be going on there, I might as well out myself here first, don’t you think? Now, I just need to find a good picture…hmmmm.
And you know what else, I’m chucking this stupid old lady name. I’ll leave it on my blog but I’m gonna to stop going by it. I’ll use my real name and face. What do you think of that? Now anyone I piss off can actually hunt me down and beat my ass. I guess that’s fair. Besides, I can still run pretty fast.
But today instead of posting either, I’m going to ask you to come up with a few picture tasks for me at BlogHer. ** Who do you want to see me in a shot with? ** What props should I bring to identify myself in group pictures? ** And most important of all - what the hell should I wear???
1. Misty would like me to wear “a floor length red sequined gown - THE WHOLE TIME!!!”
**Okay, I can’t do that but how about a red unitard? KIDDING!!
Misty, I’ll throw this in my suitcase -
if I wear it, you’ll know I’m totally drunk!
2. Bitsy is having a contest to guess my real name over at her blog, ValueWit.
She even threw in a lovely prize to sweeten the deal.
“Also, Momma K seems to think her name makes her sound much older than her mere 30 years (or so). Value wIT is hosting a contest to guess Momma K’s real name.
Rules for the Contest:
1. One guess per entry.
2. Enter by comment at the bottom of this post.
3. Once a name is guessed, then it’s out of play.
4. Unlimited entries.Prize:
As I wrote for Props and Pans, my new favorite haircare products is Frederic Fekkai’s Glossing Creme. It is so fab-u-lous. No lie, my hair is so shinny it will blind you. As a prize for guessing Momma K’s names the winner will get a five piece Frederic Fekkai set that includes shampoo, conditioner, finishing spray, hair mask with shea butter and the best of all, glossing crème ($40 value). “
***Hop on over and give it your best shot…that is unless you already know my real name. In that case, you are SOL and will just have to hang out here with me and no prizes. But since your hanging around, give me another challenge!
Suggestion: Go to the Blogher website and see if you can find pics from last year’s conference. Or go to someone’s blog that went and see if they posted pics. I know they were all over the web at some point shortly after last year’s gig. That way you’ll get a good idea of what to wear.
From what I have seen, it is pretty casual. That is why I feel that you should wear a floor length red sequened gown - THE WHOLE TIME!!!
That way, we will be able to say…There she is! Look at her all shiny and pretty!
Seriously…wear the gown! :yes:
I’m all for using the real name. Sometimes I get nervous and wish I never did but in the long run (down the line) I’m glad it’s the real me.
Let’s have guessing contest about your real name! I’ll spring for a prize if anyone gets it. Of course, if I guess your correct name I’ll buy myself something really nice.
I’ll post some rules at http://www.valuewit.com but generally, one guess per person per entry and the try doesn’t count if someone else has already guessed that name.
Here’s my first guess: Angie (Angela) Mostly, I’m guessing this name because I know a funny girl from Northern Virgina, but you two can’t be the same because she is an old woman like me.
I don’t care what you wear at Blogher as long as you flaunt your sex-kitten hair.
Let me know how that works out for you…everyone I\’ve met still calls me Monty.
And I answer to it.
Please do not wear anything spandex, jk. Go with the gown, then all the others will be blogging about you like mad.
You are SUCH a tease! But look at that bod on you, holy crap.
I want a picture of you with SJ of Sarcastic Journalist. Because I like her and she kind of looks like me so then I can pretend I was there, even though there’s no way in heck.
Ooo! And also with Amy Sedaris, because she is my hero.
I want to see you with the Red Stapler. And I WILL get a shot of you with it for the gallery. :yahoo:
You need something like the Travelocity Gnome. Got it! A stuffed Great Dane! And I suggest wearing comfortable shoes.
The red unitard is a MUCH better idea!!!
I don’t think you should reveal your name. I think you should post a picture of you in your LR uniform with roller skates on. That would be so cool and a blast from the past. I know you still fit into it and it is probably even loose.
I thought we were going to dress as Romy and Michelle????
Great idea to use your real name… Sooo many people in your real life know about the blog anyway, right? What have you got to hide?
I AM SO EXCITED! SEE YOU THURSDAY!
I know your name, but I made a guess anyways …. Karmonica. And since you and I share a name, I guess that means that my name is Karmonica too.
Gosh, our mother’s were terrible, hey? Do you think they were drunk? :sarcastic:
