I’m baaaaaack!
As always, I come bearing news from my time away. The RWA conference was awesome and very informative:
- Gena Showalter and Jill Monroe are evil bitches who are thinner and prettier than they appear in pictures. Oh, and did I mention funny and super nice? Seriously ladies, ease up a little and let some of the other girls compete. It just ain’t fair.
- I am a menace in elevators. I talked about sexual floggings with coat hangers in front of Hilary Sares from Kensington and made her hotty male friend crack up. I then told Deidre Knight that she was violent in bed because her finger hurt one morning and she didn’t know why. In my defense, I had no idea who these women were. Hilary wasn’t wearing a nametag and Deidre’s was covered by the 800 people crammed into the elevator with us. Yep, you really do never get a second chance to make a first impression. So much for those intelligent elevator pitches I wrote out.
- I ran into Elaine Spencer of The Knight Agency so many times, I’m totally sure she thought I was stalking her, which I wasn’t. At least not this time.
- Jade Lee is totally nice. She gave me a free autographed copy of her latest release after I fangirl squeed all over her in an elevator (again, Crystal the Menace).
- Mary Jo Putney has no problem getting her picture taken with 80 million people after she tells people who she is. She’s also very gracious and such a sweetheart.
- Shelli Stevens won the Stroke of Midnight Contest at Passionate Ink. We scared the crap out of the wait staff by discussing cocks, menage, and BDSM in front of them. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of men run that fast. Our table freaked out the rest of the PI group when Shelli won because we cheered so loud you would swear it was a football game. Touchdown! She downed her drink and someone else’s before she stopped shaking.
- If you show off your (frilly, turquoise) corset to the bar (this was so not me who did this), anonymous men will buy you and your twenty friends a drink.
- Also, if there are incriminating pictures circulating of my cleavage, I disavow all knowledge.
