1. The moment where I realized that not only would I be meeting bloggers at the airport, but that Kelly and Katherine would be waiting with a handmade sign. And that within minutes, we would be pulling off artistic poses like this. Obviously Katherine and I are ready for our own Vegas show. Genius is a fire within us. It is why we blog.
2. The moment Amanda became my pusher and I went from this:
into this:
“MORE ENERGY DRINKS! NOW LET’S GO SING CELINE DION KARAOKE! GET ON BOARD”
3. The moment Tara introduced me to Cat Paint. Eating the best meatball in the history of meatballs in a buffet at Planet Hollywood. And I FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE HELL ‘HONEYBADGER’ MEANS.
4. Every posing moment was genius. (So was the idea of covering one of his eyes to make Donny appear to be winking at the camera.)
(Special shout out to Amber for playing Vanna White to Donny’s crotch)
5. The moment on the rooftop of Chateau in the VIP area (this is starting to sound like a horrible and unrealistic YA novel), where I got to tell the fierce and unbreakable Rachael how damn proud I am of her for starting fresh and doing great big things with her life. She’s more magical than a wizarding unicorn. AND MOMENTS LATER, ON THE SAME ROOFTOP (it was a truly magical rooftop), getting time with Doni and having a MOMENT where we both just looked around at everyone just… DOING ALL THE AMAZING THINGS YOU DO ON A ROOFTOP IN VEGAS and just realizing that every single one of us was there because we took a chance on having an amazing time and we were reaping the awards of living big. I love Doni even more than I love magical rooftops.
6. The moment I became okay with the idea that at heart, I am 100% awkward in photos. Here is just a brief sampling of evidence…
7. The moment I realized I spent 25 minutes in the wrong hotel looking for my room. (I was not drunk this night, which either makes the whole scenario 100% better or 100% worse). This issue only got resolved when I demanded to speak to someone at check in (after walking up four sets of stairs because I couldn’t find the elevator) and the nice man telling me that I was in the wrong hotel after he looked at my key. This is also the same night a drunk man hit me with his scooter and I yelled “Shame on you!” as he scooted away. Probably to get a lap dance from an orphaned child.
8. The moment where Katelin and I posed like tigers (this is every photo, except the ones where we are impersonating Whitney Houston or eating macaroons). The moment Tara and I began singing The Little Mermaid (this was every night except the ones where I was trying to get her to sing Whitney Houston). Every morning where Nic was nice to me despite my inability to speak coherently (mornings are hard). All my moments with Taquito.
9. The moment everyone started hugging goodbye on Sunday and I felt myself getting weepy. I had just spent the morning tweeting about Kerri Strug and stealing hangovers, giggling while I considered chopping off my own head to stop the pain- and suddenly I felt weepy. Then lucky. Because Woody Allen got it right. 90% of life is just showing up. And as I looked around the room of strangers that had become friends and dance partners and confidantes and singers- I was filled with gratitude that I had shown up, but more importantly- that each one of them had too. Thank you kittens.
10. Bear claw vagina. If you have to ask, you’ll never know.
“Where I got to tell the fierce and unbreakable Rachael how damn proud I am of her for starting fresh and doing great big things with her life. She’s more magical than a wizarding unicorn.”
I think this is the nicest description of anyone I have ever read in my life. Major props to both of you.
Wait. What IS Honeybadger?
i’m crying laughing tears for the millionth time because of you right now – this was a magical recap and just proves once again why you are my favorite person on the planet. i will be the ariel to your ursula and the bobby(kristina) to your whitney any day. love you, lady.
This entire post has me snorting out loud and laughing so hard my belly hurts. I think my favorite is #2, though. You are simply priceless.
And you are dead on – It is all about showing up and we had the best group possible to show up. And you, thank you for flying across boarders – you brighten my life! I wish we got to hang out even more! so much love. xoxo
You are fabulous! It was wonderful to meet you and I demand that we spend more time together next time!
I love everything about this and you. Being away has given me much grief and metaphysical pain. All I can do now to cheer myself up is down two 5-hours and dance walk down my street to One Direction sobbing uncontrollably. It’s been rough…
You’re so damn amazing that I had to sit on the floor while reading this post because I was laughing so hard I was afraid I would fall over and as we all learned Saturday you can’t fall of the floor. Safety first!
(PS – I fucking love you and if you’re ever not at BiSC I will inevitably cry ALL OF THE TEARS.)
This post makes me even sadder that I couldn’t go. (BISC w/babies next year? Bri? Kerri? Let’s make it happen.)
I mean, Yes. this whole post captures some of the BEST moments of the whole weekend. I love it so so much and love you just as much. So glad we got to hang out so much more this year and show our dance moves to the world and talk about dirty things and ridiculous things and just have so much fun. ah.
ALL OF THE LOVE BEAR CLAW VAGINA RAWR!
I love you more and more every day, but this… this is so amazing. You really ARE magic. There are no words for how grateful I am to have you in my life. Also…? Good talk out there ;-)
Where oh where did you get those super cute red shorts?! I can’t find ANY shorts that don’t show off my girly bits!!
I LOVE YOUR HAIR PICTURE AND ALL YOUR #BiSC TWEETS! =)
Love #5 & #9 SO MUCH.
I have fond memories of the Canadian vs. American “Jam vs. Jelly” debate which I think you were in on too.
Also #7 is pretty amazing…now I’m super curious, what hotel were you in?!

AMAZING POST. loved all your instagrams too
You and Terra’s barefoot “Canada vs America” thing was hilarious.
every picture of you from bisc is my favorite picture from bisc.
Between the first picture and the one that Tara captioned, I’m pretty sure next year we need to do all of the photobombing. Right?
