Party at Macy's

posted on: Monday, July 21, 2008

I usually have no pity for large corporations but on Saturday I almost had a heart attack at the most schizophrenic party I've ever been to in my life, worrying sick about Macy's well being! The closing reception of BlogHer was at Macy's department store, the 7 floor one on union square San Francisco where all the shoppers are tourists that look like they just popped out of the most recent GQ magazine. Not my kind of place at all.

They crammed hundreds of women in the bag department gave us food, a lot of alcohol (was I the only one there that didn't drink?) and then rushed us up to the shoe department, where the same thing happened, then to the lingerie and last but not least, when everyone was pretty much drunk, to the furniture department where women with vodka and greasy Hor de Vours were sitting on beds with beautiful white linen. Macy's, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
Mr. Macy I know you were thinking the way corporations think in your stereotypical way. Women like to shop, BlogHer is all about women why don't we have a party for them at Macy's where they can get drunk and shop all they want. Well let me tell you a couple things Mr. Macy, no one shopped. However I did see someone wipe their nasty little greasy fingers after stuffing another one of these
on this!
Mr. Macy you should know better! Cocktail parties and department stores don't mix!

Food in China Town

posted on: Saturday, July 19, 2008


I spend the evening walking around China Town and taking pictures with Shuna Lydon from the food blog eggbeater and Andrea from superhero journal and Jen from shutter sisters and some other lovely ladies. Keep in mind that these are like, the professional bloggers/photographers and I'm like, NOT! I tagged along and they were so nice to me and even gave me great tips on how to use my cheap point shoot camera. If I was hanging out with profess guys I so would not have gotten the same attention. PLUS... you can always convince a group of women to stop and get food. Always!

Here are some of my shots.









Can you please contact my husband and convince him that I need a nice camera like the ones that the girls are holding in the first picture so that I can get better pictures. Maybe you'll have better success.
