I knew it was going to be a great day when I walked into the event and saw it shining from the front of the room – whispering my name – a beacon of hope and all that is bling with the world. It was as if it had been placed there for me – made just for me – just like the leopard print clogs I found on clearance three years ago. I knocked people aside as I made my way to the front in a romantic slow motion run. We embraced. It was a beautiful moment, and one I will never forget. The day I met the pink podium. I will never forget you pink podium. May you live to make many other women speakers happy, just like you did me.

Girl, I bet you were one of the FIRST to have a bedazzler!
You’re RIGHT Cindy! I got the bedazller. And fake hair. And false eyelashes – including the kinds with rhinestones – don’t ask about the day I wore those! And a do-it-yourself home acrylic nail kit. And the new genie bra. And the ped-egg. And the girdle that swore it wouldn’t ride up – which was true – it didn’t ride up, it rolled up faster than a cheap plastic window shade. And I just bought a new home waxing kit. I’ll let you know how it goes.
