Who would have thought that at a blogging convention, I would find a booth where I could find stickers and fun stuff telling the world that “I AM ENOUGH” and “I AM AWESOME!” Apparently, I need to get out of the store more often and attend blogging conventions. These people have it down! #iamenough
It’s been such an exciting week. Last night, at my store Curvy Girl, we had one of the most bad ass bloggers around give a presentation called “Change Your World, Not Your Body.” That bad ass blogger is Jes Baker, also know as The Militant Baker. And that was fan-fing-tastic all by itself. About 50 women at the store, enjoying wine, nibbles, bundt cakes and Jes and her empowering and educational presentation. (Plus throw in a little bit of shopping for sexy plus size lingerie and other romance goodies.) It was a great night all around.
We had some extra special VIP’s last night, too, in addition to The Militant Baker. The divine Marilyn Wann, author of “Fat!So?” and a special guest appearance from Ms. Virgie Tovar, the author of “Hot & Heavy: Fierce Fat Girls on Life, Love and Fashion” to top of our sassy and powerful meeting of bad ass body love warriors!
Now Jes, Virgie and I are spending the next couple of days connecting with other bloggers and learning more about blogging and monetization and all of that good stuff. Here are some fun pics I took today on the first day of the #blogher convention. Blogher.com is celebrating their 10th anniversary and they brought the convention back to San Jose to celebrate their big birthday. It’s been amazing so far and have met a lot of super sassy and successful bloggers. Can’t wait to meet even more over the next 2 days.
Oh and here is Jes’s blog about her first day in San Jose and at Blogher. Love her gorgeous red shorts!
Enjoy the pics, friends. I have been sharing the fun pics on my Curvy Girl Facebook page, too. www.facebook.com/curvygirlinc if you want to follow along.

I was joking on Facebook, I wonder if the people at “Shout” corporate know how funny this sign is to the 8th grade boy trapped in my 46 year old woman’s body.
