My Utterly Awesome, Insanely Happy, Fabulous, Feminist Morning
Bloggy friends,
Are you sitting down?
Oh, right.
Anyway, I have big news!
Last night I got a call from my cousin Butch (hereafter known as the best cousin a girl could have or BC). Well, BC had donated 250.00 to the Clinton campaign in order to attend a breakfast with the candidate. AND HE COULDN'T GO! So, would I mind filling in for him?
Well, OK. I'm all about the family.
So, I went to the Hyatt Regency this morning, and who is introducing Senator Clinton?
That's right. . .
Gloria Steinem.
Yes, my friends,
The .
Gloria.
Steinem.
Of course, the 250.00 tickets were the cheap seats (read, no seats at all--we just stood in the back), so most of my pictures of Senator Clinton ended up looking like this.
And this.
And this.
Yes, that is a man with thinning hair in front of the senator.
Before the speeches, I heard a rumor that Gloria Steinem was going to be speaking at Justin's Ice Cream Parlor later in the day.
So I high-tailed it down there and I met Gloria Steinem.
It was love at first sight. We laughed, we cried, she invited me to live with her in New York.
Okay, I could barely stammer out that I was honored to meet her, but it was still great!
Here I am with my new BFF.
Both women were stunningly beautiful, exciting, and inspiring.
I am a very happy girl.
I apologize for the general suckiness of the photos, but I had to share this with you.

(And I haven't seen any recent pictures of Gloria. She's still so fabulous.)
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE A PICTURE WITH GS!!!

This has to rate as one of the best days of your life...ever...so far. ;p
How lucky are you?! I would have been gobsmacked all day long and unable to say anything to anyone.

BTW, you look pretty darned gorgeous in that top and necklace!
Love that Ms. Steinem.
I am almost speechless.
And I think your photos of Clinton are artistic.
How luckyluckylucky are you?!?
I love the shot of Hillary's shoulder...priceless. So, when are you calling the movers for your move to the big city?
This is a fantastic post!
OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!!!

I think I may have actually let out a "SSQQUUEEEEEEEE!" at those photos!
And those photos are priceless. Perfect just as they are.
