BlogHer (part three: the party edition)

July 23, 2008 | BlogHer, bloggers

Saturday night was the Macy’s party. It was good in theory, I mean, you’re in Macy’s (still not Marshall Field’s though!) and they gave you coupons! They also stuck you in the handbag section with plenty of champagne. It kind of hurt seeing champagne flutes next to Marc Jacobs bags, bags that could be ruined by champagne and never have the chance to be in my possession!

But yeah, load em up with alcohol, make them spend all of their money but not before they spill red wine all over your furniture department. Oh and give them a hot chocolate shot, which actually when you think about it, sounds amazing but when you taste it – YOU WANT TO DIE.Â We did not know it was chocolate liquor and pepper vodka. Seriously, pepper vodka?Â WHO THINKS THAT WOULD BE GOOD?! I can’t think of any way that would taste good in any drink unless you like torturing yourself.

Then they cut us off.

Yes, that part was not cool because I put down my wine to go the bathroom that makes you want to break out in song, as Leah said.

This was the crazy mirrored and marble bathroom and yeah, we took pictures inside the bathroom so shut your face!

While in the bathroom, we ran into Amalah. Literally – she ran in screaming.Â Then I barely let her finish washing her hands before I ran up to introduce myself. Amy is awesome and didn’t mind, I think she was just happy to find a bathroom.

Macy’s then kicked us out but I don’t care because I had an effin’ cheeseburger party to go to. Y who is my favorite blogger in the world, commented on my blog a few weeks ago and told me I had better introduce myself so I could come. I really took this as “introduce yourself and I’ll be your best friend forever” because seriously, Yvonne is ridiculously awesome and I would have followed her around like a puppy. I may or may not have tried to, which is how I got this picture:

And yes, that is a McDonald’s bag on my head. It was a goddamn cheeseburger party what do you expect? All the cool kids were doing it.

McDonald’s couture.

See you at Bryant Park, bitches!

Re: pepper vodka

Oh, have you heard of BACON VODKA? Now you have.

Also, cheeseburger party? Is synonymous, in my world, with the term “Heavenly Redemption.” That’s the bitchin’-est thing I’ve ever heard of.

Chocolate liquor and pepper vodka doesn’t even sound good.

Also, the Mickey D’s bags were a good look. You guys all pulled it off!! (which isn’t easy- especially since wendy’s is better).

Ha ha. How fun … the cheeseburger party, that is.

Finally catching up on my google reader. Get ready for a comment explosion!

Pepper vodka? HUH? That is not right. I can see it MAYBE in a bloody mary type drink… but with chocolate? *pukes*

pepper vodka = the devil

I’m so glad I didn’t drink the pepper vodka.

Hahahahah! You got caught up with the bag heads! That’s awesome.

Pepper vodka could be good in a ceasar or bloody mary. But in a hot choc shot, that’s false advertising!

Loooove the M. D. Couture.

Whoa. That’s so going to be on next season ANTM. McCouture. You are a genius, with a now salty head of hair.

This doesnt seem fair! What about BlogHim?

I had to leave the party when it was in handbags. All the close proximity was giving me a panic attack!

Haha, I would have loved to see everyone in person with a McDonald’s bag on their heads!

ya those shots were horrendous, i’m gagging just thinking about it, haha.

but i love the pictures

I’m going to the DC regional one in October.

Looks like you had a good time! So jealous!

I. LOVE. AMALAH.

she’s *kind of* an internet celebrity to me,

man, i’m jealous.

(katelin looks ADORABLE in that picture!!)

i knew those bags were good for something after removing food from them!

ahahha. i don’t think i’ll ever get enough of the mcdonald’s bag hats.
perfection, really.

How in the world did I miss the cheeseburger party?! And also, pepper vodka?? No wonder those shots tasted so awful!! Bleh!

Love the McDonald’s hat. Nothing but class at blogher, I see

I read on Amalah that she ran into some twenty-something bloggers in the bathroom, and for some reason, I had a feeling if was you! I am clearly psychic.

was there any bartenders or anyone around that was responsible for those god-awful sounding drinks?! gah!

but a party in macy*s surrounded by glorious handbags makes up for it. and of course, the cheeseburgers.

Sounds like a wonderful time–except for the pepper part.

This whole night was so fun. Even if I didn’t have a cheeseburger. But I had red velvet cupcake instead which in my book is WAY better!

Did you happen to meet Lindsay Ferrier of Suburban Turmoil at the chesseburger party? She is one of my favorite Nashville bloggers!

Awww awesome pics!! Thats so cool you got to meet Katelin and all the other bloggers. I gotta get to one of those events one of these days

Yeah that vodka, pepper drink was a bad idea. My chest still burns. Damn I look hot in that hat and peace sign. I’ll see you in the tents. That bathroom was ridiculous too.

YOU were one of the 20-something bloggers Amalah ran into in the bathroom??! You’re famous now! lol!

Totally jealous of the awesome time you had and I am definitely not going to miss out next year.

EEEEW Pepper Vodka! My HotBoy is a bartender, and I am going to ask him about this!

I’m jealous. WAY jealous. I want to go to a blogger meet-up and then move onto parties where we wear macdonnalds bags on our heads. I feel like I’m missing out.

haha lookit Jessica’s pic, so fancy with that cheeseburger

McDonald’s bags! So that’s the 21st century version of the lampshade. Liked your tales of city!

You look like some kind of Cheese Burger in Paradise.

Oh, I am totally throwing my own cheeseburger party just so I can make people wear bags on their heads! Brilliant.

It was fabulous to meet you! I only wish we could have chatted longer!

hey jamie, i was just wondering if your fancy new business cards came in handy at blogher!? i’m reading the latest nytimes article on the conference and it reminded me of you!

Jamie, I’m sorry the burger party didn’t last but I’m glad that I got to meet you at the after after party. Great shot of Katelin.

It looks like such a great time! And the idea of a cheeseburger party makes me really happy. Seriously.

Um, JEALOUSY!

i am so bummed we didn’t get to meet up. boooo.

sounds like you had a great time and met some fantastic bloggers though.

also, pepper vodka = GAG.
