The Ritas and the morning after…aka the morning everyone packs up and heads out, are always so hard. You’re exhausted and really, really want your own bed, but also reluctant to leave all the fun and friends behind, knowing that it’ll probably be a year or more before you see them again.
Loribelle Hunt, Karen Erickson, and Shelli Stevens all dolled up for the Ritas.
Cinderella and Jessica Rabbit, aka Rowan/Dayna and Sandra Barkevich. Aren’t they pretty?
Kate Pearce and Rowan/Dayna.
I forced Michele Lang and Stephanie Rowe to put down the yummy Ritas reception munchies to cheese it up for my camera.
Shelli Stevens, Loribelle Hunt, and me in my classic smushed-face shot (best angle!)
The Ritas hair.
Lucienne and me baring some cleavage. Work it, girls!
Robin Rotham and me. Yes, I am a Hobbit.
Karen Erickson and me being ever so cute.
Katie Dunneback aka younglibrarian and me. It was so awesome to meet her there!
Then it was on to the Romance Divas Pajama Jammy Jam in the hotel bar. Evryone else was still all dolled up in their Rita finery and we were slumming it in our comfy jammies and plastic cups of smuggled hooch, which was just peachy with me. I’m all about being comfy.
Jax cassidy giving me loves.
Eden Bradley cuddling with Jax Cassidy.
Rowan/Dayna copping an attitude. How rude!
