BlogHer 09 in Chicago

I’m leaving on a jet plane… and heading to Chicago for BlogHer 2009.  Here’s why I’m going this year:

1. Seeing the bloggers I love. [Smart, cool women from all over the world. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the ladies from Silicon Valley Moms Group.]

2. Meeting the bloggers I read regularly. [Can't wait to stalk meet the uber-smart writers on my blogroll. Look out, Role Mommy, I'm gonna track you down!]

3. Working with SmartyCard. [Yep, my client SmartyCard will be there in full force, signing up bloggers for their affiliate program. Yes, you can make money with your blog.]

4. Enjoying cocktails with the Yahoo! Mother Board. [Yes, my client Yahoo! will be there, as will their brand ambassadors, complete with video cameras and cocktails.]

5. Finding Tim Gunn and Rick Bayless. [I didn't know they were making appearances when I signed up, but that doesn't mean I can't stalk try to meet them too!]

6. Attending the sessions. [Believe it or not, I do want to attend the sessions and learn a thing or two. The session that has my eye is Day Two keynote: Traditional Media Chops meets a New Media Calling.]

7. Representing Voce Nation. [I work with bloggers who are more clever and widely read than LTV Mom, including Media Guerrilla, TV Through Glasses and Hyku.  So I will proudly represent Voce, share some live-Tweets, and do my thang.]

Hope to see you there!

What do BlogHer and Project Runway have in common?

Q: What do Project Runway and BlogHer have in common?

A: Tim Gunn!

I was in laptop-television heaven this week for two reasons, and I owe my thanks to Tim:

Project Runway on Lifetime

The beginning of the week, I discovered the that Lifetime has launched the new Web site for Project Runway Season 6! If you are a loyal fan of Heidi and Tim, you know that the show has moved from Bravo to Lifetime. It’s a big move, and I am anxious to see how the show evolves, remains (or not).  Check out the new show — which premiers August 20 — on Lifetime.  And remember, if your DVR is set for the show on Bravo, you need to reschedule for Lifetime.  (The season pass will not move networks.)

If you need more Project Runway, you can read the blog, the Facebook page, or the Twitter feed.

Tide and Tim Gunn want to know: “What are you Wearing to BlogHer 09?”  Yes, Tim Gunn is making an appearance at this year’s BlogHer, and you even have the chance to win a personal fashion consultation.  The rules, as well as Tim’s packing tips, can be found HERE.

I am supposed to post a photo of what I am wearing to BlogHer in order to win the consultation. I tell you what, a photo of my clothes (jeans, shirt, BlogHer bag from 2007) is just too boring to share!  My look is certainly NOT “a lot of look,” it’s actually quite lame.  So, since “this worries me,” I guess I will have to stop by the Tide booth at BlogHer and try to meet Tim. In other words, I will “make it work!”
