Wedding Expo Crashers

January 25, 2010

After yesterday, I now know that it would be super awesome to be a professional bridal expo attendant. Kinda like Wedding Crashers, but not. Why? At expos, there’s free food, awesome raffles, good music and dancing … and more.

The “and more” I’m talking about? Yeah, so apparently I met men from Club Risque. It was pretty hilarious. At first I was scared and started sweating! But they were totally cool. We danced and fist-pumped, and I’m totally going there for my bachelorette. (Scrap the paint pottery idea!)

Oh, and I got this bag full of free magazines, and Danielle (my maid of honor) and I got to goof around and take pictures in the photo booths.

The best part of the day was when Danielle made me volunteer to get up on stage and dance. Let me back up a bit. So they had a stage set up for a fashion show and different vendors shared tips, etc. Like, apparently, now I know how to pose so I look good in my wedding pictures!

So anyway, there was an entertainment/music company there. They were awesome. They picked me to come up on stage and dance! Yup, I fist pumped and beat the beat — but I did the twist, meringue and all that too. It was pretty hilarious. Danielle said everyone was going crazy laughing and loving it. I was all into it and living it up!

Now I’m just waiting for some emails to come in saying that I won some free stuff!!

Shenanigans at the JERSEY SHORE!

January 23, 2010

From left to right: Kung Pow (me), Melly Mel, Daley Pie, Paparazzi. Front: Tea!

So people are freaking out about MTV’s Jersey Shore. Some people hate it, some people love it. GUESS WHAT? I’m feelin’ it. I don’t go to those “North Jersey” shores though — FYI, the show takes place in Seaside Heights, NJ. (And seriously, that’s how it is up there — “guidos” and “guidettes,” tats and big hair.) It’s just funny. We were ALL young and what-not at some point.

I’m a SOUTH Jersey girl, and I go down to South Jersey shores. You know — Sea Isle, Cape May, Ocean City, Wildwood, Avalon. Rumor has it that the next season of Jersey Shore is going to be in Sea Isle, NJ. I like that! It will be funny to watch the show and see places that I used to hang out at — when I was young and awesome!

Front-Row Friends

December 29, 2009

Front-row friends – The first people you call to share good news and bad news. They tell you how it is with the best of intentions. You cry hardest and laugh uncontrollably together. They’re clapping when you succeed and gasp when you fall … and stay strong when you are weak. They’re in your front-row because they’ve earned a spot there.

I don’t know what I’d do without my friends. They are so good to me — and they love me for all my crazy ideas … and support everything I’m passionate about. I wear an outfit held together by scotch tape — literally, my pants were hemmed and my belt was help together with scotch tape — and they tell me I look great! I tell them I love twitter and how Comedy Central retweeted me — and they say — NO WAY!!!

Anyway, this blog post is an ode to the people who are in my “front row.” You know, those people that are there cheering you on to every new adventure.

Danielle, aka “bff” and maid of honor

How we met: Freshman year in high school, we were on the same bus. Our parent’s live about two minutes from each other. One time, early in our freshman year, Danielle gave me a “piece of chocolate” — it really was a laxative. I ended up running from the track to the bathroom in gym class. Keep your “enemies” closer, right?
