BlogHer Babes: Mo Pie, Weetabix, and Anne

I met the glorious Weetabix (she with the impish 1920′s flapper hairdo) at BlogHer 2007. No that isn’t her in the picture but I do think it captures her nearly-naked inner starlet. Clark Gable would have loved to ruin you! Taking you for midnight steak and martinis at the Stork Club, buying you furs and caviar in Miami, dancing until the sun came up in Havana.

I was probably a bit nervous, meeting Weetabix for the first time, stammering and refusing to make eye contact. Her writing makes me laugh at the world and at myself and the clever way she turns a phrase makes me green with envy. I hoped this year to be a bit more composed when we sat together at the BFD Blog meetup during BlogHer 2008. I took a deep breath, sucked down a second mimosa and we had a lovely conversation. Turns out she’s a doll.

I walked into the room where the meetup was just beginning, wearing the fabulous Igigi dress that I won (I promise pics very soon) and announced, “Alright, Mr DeMille, I’m ready for my close up.” The exquisite Mo Pie was there with a mimosa for me! A model’s dream come true! Now that I’ve got my champagne, all I need is to start smoking again, stop eating and I can be a super model.

Mo is a gracious and lovely hostess. As you can imagine, she had me with “Mimosa?” But please don’t think that my adoration for Mo Pie only runs as deep as the bottle. A couple of days later we enjoyed sushi boat sushi together and I can tell you truthfully that she is a dream date!

Anne breezed by a few times, her delightful smile made me love her at first sight. While I wish we had more time to talk I will tell you that she has rosy cheeks like ripe strawberries, and to make sure you get the inside scoop on Anne I can tell you right now – she wears impossibly high heels and very short skirts.

Weetie baby, if you want to pose for a companion pic, please, let me know.
