Camp Baby: The More You Know (insert rainbow here)

We learned a lot about fomites. Fuckin' fomites, man. (Note: Apparently wearing a 1950's housewife get -up somehow helps when dealing with fomites. Who knew?)

Oh lawdy, people. I swear to you that I've been trying all weekend to come up with something all-encompassing to say about The Joisey Experience, but it's just not flowing. Those of you who have been to BlogHer doubtless remember well that post-trip feeling of "OMFG, how do I even begin to sum this up?", and this conference feels much the same, containing as it did a lot of small, wonderful, hilarious moments that are hard to verbalize (or hard to verbalize in a way that doesn't come off as dorky and sentimental, rather). So, umm, I give up?

Kristen's way of saying she loves me

I guess what I came away with more than anything was a feeling that this is my tribe. Despite the fact that these women may live hundreds of miles away from me, there is some undeniable thread connecting us, a kinship that feels easy and natural and real. I love these ladies. Dammit.

I totally pushed the gorgeous KristinD out of the frame just so I could show everyone the awesome black shit I have caught in my teeth. God, I SO RULE.

Izzy is radiantly glowy and naturally beautiful. And so she must die.

I have no doubt that if Catherine lived in any proximity to me we would be best friends in the traditional sense. And yeah, I'm sad she lives in stupid Canada (shakes fist at mounties and bacon and syrup), but I'm just glad I found her at all, yanno?

LOOK AT THAT CLEAVAGE! LOOOOK AT IT!!!!

So yeah, it was sort of like an extended dance version Girls Night Out mix, and I'm ever so glad I went.

As for the actual content of the conference itself, I think this video of Catherine giving a break-down of one of the sessions we all went to called (I kid you not) "What's Going On Down There?" may serve to enlighten you regarding the garden of womanly delights that we all enjoyed at Camp Baby:

I apologize for the jittery un-steadycam ackshon, but I was laughing so hard I was literally shaking.

PS: Have you We Covet-ed lately? Don't miss out on the awesome. Because, like, DUDE.
