diamond in the rough

.
I'm so absolutely excited for Chick Named Hermia's brand new undertaking, Diamond in the Rough. The goal of this blog is to bring some much-needed recognition to amazing blogs out there! Yes, we know Dooce is fabulous and making a living off blogging with like 13453845 daily readers or whatever. BUT there are some awesome, inspiration filled blogs out there that deserve some love! Voila - Diamond in the Rough! She'll feature about three different blogs a week in a consistent format- blogs that you can count on having amazing content from great bloggers! My google reader is quivering with excitement.

Today was the official kickoff - so check it out! Photo via Funambula.

And... few detailed shots from the costume party...and me dancing with two of the Jonas brothers. Also Husband - he was half of Kriss Kross. If you'd like to see the zipper eye complete with layers of eyeliner and fake lashes, shoot me an email.

So within 36 hours I've found myself dressed as Lady Gaga...to sitting on a tiny airplane (eek)...to standing outside in a hard-hat on a construction site covered in dust and sweating like crazy. Glamorous, no?
