It’s finally here…time for BlogHer. I’d love to tell you that I’m ready for this but that would be a complete and total lie.
I’ve made it this far without wardrobe panic. To be honest, I haven’t really thought about it at all. Until last week when I found out I was going to have the chance to attend the Nikon Night Out party hosted by none other than Carson Kressley. (Note to loyal audience: If at this point you are saying “Who is Carson Kressley?” TSM is now giving you the side eye while quietly informing you he was the fashion expert on “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” and soon to be my new gay boyfriend…then kicking you in the shins with pointy stiletto for not knowing better.)
I would very much like to see him make this face upon meeting me:
…and not so much this face:
I thought I had it all under control but the stress finally set in this last weekend when “ohmygodohmygodohmygod..i’mgoingtomeetcarsonkressley!!!” started playing in an endless loop in my head. I did what any normal person would do and found an A List Blogger to drag into my home, plied her with wine and then dragged her into my closet and subjected her a miniature fashion show. (Because if you are foolish enough to actually enter my home, I like to make sure you are entertained with a small nervous breakdown.) I’m talking about none other than the most fabulous Allison Worthington who was the person kind enough to invite me to such a fancy party and whom I greatly hope to not embarass while there, but I think we all know the odds of that happening are slim at best non-existent.
Anyway, I have it down to two outfits now.
The first is very SJP/Sex in the City:
…which scares me a little because honestly, I am so not SJP/Sex in the City. I’m more TSM/Yawning at 10 in the Burbs.
The second is the safer choice, more “Little Black Dress Meets Heavy Metal”:
…but again, it’s the safe choice, I’d blend in more, and also is accompanied by a pair of equally painful shoes.
See my dilemna? So tell me which outfit you think is most appropriate for my planned stalking of Carson Kressley…and you may want to warn him I’m on my way as well.
Also, let me know if you are going to be at BlogHer so I can stalk you too! I’ll be easy to find, I’ll be the one complaining about how much my feet hurt…can’t wait to see you guys!

I *still* say SJP/SitC
Carson agrees.
Srsly.
I vote SJP/SITC. For serious.
Jesss last blog post..Random Tuesday Thoughts.
Oh.
I’m a first time commentor. I’ve been reading for a while and the wine encouraged me to post finally.
Jesss last blog post..Random Tuesday Thoughts.
I heart both. My style is a little more the second, though.
See you there!!!
Headless Moms last blog post..Wanted: Mojo. Send immediately!
I vote for the second outfit, but only because I need you to send me the first one IMMEDIATELY and thus you will not have it for any fancy parties. (Although you can keep the purse? hat? oversized corsage?)
LOVE that first outfit. Love.
Amys last blog post..Product Review – POM! Wonderful
Bring them both, but wear the SJP outfit. You can rock it and Carson will make a beeline right toward you, tell you how fabulous you are and the two of you will become BFFs. Just like that.
Mos last blog post..In Which I Complain About Being a Magnet for Assholes
i like the second option, personally… the first one is cute, but… well, it’s cute.
but then, it’s hard to tell when they’re lying on the floor!
p.s. i am so intensly jealous that you’re going.
Aprils last blog post..Sunday Citar… on Monday.
I’m with Mo on this one. I love the first one. But I would bring them both just in case you wake up and feel much less ‘LOOK AT ME’ and a little more ‘HIDE MY ASS’ish. Never know…
Can’t wait to see you!
Amos last blog post..Weekly Lessons LEARNED
I love the first one. I’m not in love with the second, but I don’t know if that is because it is laying on the floor, and I can’t really tell if the metal is part of the dress or jewelry. But still, the first one is awesome!!
Rachels last blog post..Ethan-ism’s Part 2
I say wear the SIC outfit or nothing at all. The second one is lovely and very sedate….which it seems you are not my friend.
And I think Carson is hilarious.
I WISH I was going to BlogHer. Instead I’ll be in the Michigan’s UP at my husbands extended family reunion. Can you say bad timing?
the mayors last blog post..Just Relax!
I say the first one–because how often do you have occasion for a dress like that?
I am so jealous! Have fun!
paiges last blog post..RIP Cardanita
Take both but seriously consider the first one. I’m not so sure about the purse but the picture doesn’t scale so what do I know.
Have fun. I’ll be thinking about all of you.
Micheles last blog post..RTT = Ramblin’ Ramblin’ Ramblin’ Keep Those Doggies Ramblin’
I LOVE the first one. I’m so sorry I won’t be there to see it. I’ve only been blogging a short time and it sold out before I knew about it. Have fun and give Carson a big hug for me.
The Peach Tarts last blog post..The Vajayjay Artist Saves Me
I’m voting for the first. It looks fabulous and really, how can you pass up an excuse to wear red heels? Seriously.
*sigh* Have a wonderful time and all. I’m really working on my “not going to be angry and bitter because I will not be at BlogHer” thing. How’m I doing?
Dana’s Brains last blog post..Out of the mouths of babes
OK, first of all, I can’t believe that YOU are having a wardrobe delimma. I’m sure you have it all covered.
Also, go with outfit #1. The SJP-ish one. Fo shizzle.
Have fun! I’ll be at home, curled up in a ball, weeping, because I can’t be there.
xo
blissfully caffeinateds last blog post..But why do babies need to learn how to read?
Have a great time! I look forward ot reading all the blogher posts!!
marathonmoms last blog post..Houston? We have liftoff!!!
Um, absolutely without doubt the SITC outfit! Although I do like the shoes that go with the second outfit. Lovely.
Lady Mamas last blog post..Chocaddiction
SJP outfit! It is adorable. Have fun!
Jannas last blog post..This post talks entirely too much about puke (Why I am not going to BlogHer 09)
the first one.
and why are you asking? is there really a question which is the one CK will lurve the mostest?
really.
pamelas last blog post..happy birthday, baby daddy
The accessories are better for the second one!
Loving the first dress.
Now feeling very intimidated..
Can’t wait!
Sprite’s Keepers last blog post..Spin Cycle: So I guess we’re calling this a "working" vacation..
Outfit number 1 definitely!!
And if you can get an autograph for me from him, I’ll kiss your stilettoed feet! I LOVE HIM!!!!
Bobbis last blog post..I’m Moving On
Gorgeous choices, both. I think you should wear the SJP outfit, because you will stand out, and when in this life are you going to get to wear that if you don’t wear it to this?
I am SO SAD I’m not going to be there. WAH!
Beckys last blog post..Mitch the Shy Landscaper, Returned!
I have one word for you. One word. And that is JEALOUS.
I like outfit #1.
Lynn @ human, beings last blog post..I don’t want to be fat on my wedding day and other random Tuesday thoughts
Oh, and I’ll be at Blogher, but not at the ultra cool A-List Nikon Event.
Lynn @ human, beings last blog post..I don’t want to be fat on my wedding day and other random Tuesday thoughts
I won’t be there (sigh…) but in my mind that wishes it was there, it’s wishing you wear the first choice!
foradifferentkindofgirl (fakdog)s last blog post..‘i mock you with my monkey pants’
The First! I am looking forward to the pictures of you, wrapped around Carson’s neck, wearing that outfit.
ShoozieShoess last blog post..Dolphin Schmolphin, Where Are The Shops??
Have a blast!
Say, when you see him, ask Carson if he can make me look naked in bed, would you?
The Lawyer Moms last blog post..Doctors’ Orders: Don’t Diss’ Me on the Net!
The first one – FOR SURE!!!! You go girl! I can’t wait to hear all about your fabulous weekend!!
Yeah I’m going.
Wait. Blog HER?
Nah, I’m going to something else.
I reckon the second, but hell, what do I know?
love them both, I’d say whatever you are most comfortable in. Have fun!
Daahhhling! Everyone knows “the little black dress” is perfect from Cocktails to Convocations.
The Dental Mavens last blog post..An Eye For An Eye? Or A Tooth For An Eye?
The man is wearing a blue jacket, an orange striped shirt? Sweater? and a paisley tie and you’re worried about impressing him with your wardrobe?
Well, perhaps that’s why he’s crying…
Jans last blog post..Not Wordless Wednesday and Sorta Spin Cycle
Be brave and go for #1! And have a fabulous time!
Don’t you have anything in leather???
I kid, go with number 1….be bold.
Okay – why are you asking such a silly question? honestly option number 1 is THE PERFECT choice for you – bold, out there and well willd and crazy like you.
I am so jealous of you going but honestly I so totally hope that you meet him and become BFFs and then introduce him to me so I can get him to work on my husbands style sense!! Yes – he is jeans and t-shirts when he used to be polos and dockers and all kinds of ralph lauren looking! HELP!!
#1 – live it up. You are much prettier than SJP…she is awful.
They are both fabulous! But OMG, please wear the first one. It is so so amazing! Which means I won’t be posing for pics with you ate the Nikon party, ’cause you’ll make me look like crap.
Yes, I’ll be there too! And Scary Mommy is coming, too!! Squeee!! (Cool and collected.)
Elisas last blog post..What I’m wearing to BlogHer, part 2
If I was going I would totally stalk you.
#1 definintely #1. I would kill for that dress and those shoes.
I say go with what is more comfortable for you. I pity your feet after a couple of hours. Last time I did that I ditched my shoes and trotted around in my stockings. Of course I was well lit. This was at a Christmas party in Dallas. It was the 3rd one I went to in as many days. Talk about being burned out.
Unless it’s a tutu or up-to-there shorts, go with SJP everytime. And have fun!
Oh my! You have to give Carson kudos from me for being AWESOME and encouraging larger women! Oh, and you should totally rock the first dress! Very fantastic and you need a little flair if you are going to be stalking Carson…
Have fun!

I like SJP. Either one, lets see pictures.
I like the first one better.
SJP hands down!
Me likey Me likey!
Guys have it easy. Black T-Shirt, Dark Jeans, Black shoes. Done. I’ll be there next year for sure. Looking forward!
I LOVE that first dress!
I wish I were going to BlogHer. Maybe next year.
I hope that you wore sex in the city!
