My “Come As You Are” Party Badge Rejects

June 8, 2011

Hey, did you hear? We’re throwing a party! And you’re all invited!

Well, I say “all” but what I really mean is “those of you who are official ticket holders to the BlogHer conference in San Diego in August.”

I hope that includes a lot of you because we’ve got some fun shit in store. We would like to share that fun shit with you.

You should be there. But only if you enjoy things that are enjoyable.

Did you see that fun party badge over there on the sidebar? The one with the rainbow toe socks?—->

That has most of the info you’ll need to know about it & if you click on that mutha, it’ll take you to even MORE info.

We are like, super informational.

The “Come As You Are” badge was lovingly created by IzzyMom but just for funsies, I came up with some of my own.The theme is intended to make everyone feel welcome and relaxed but my first thought was of Nirvana & the cassette single I had with “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on one side and “Come As You Are” on the other. Never heard of it? Go listen right now before I slap you upside your head for making me feel really old.

Here’s Sugar’s head on a squirrel’s body. It just seemed appropriate because she is such a cute little party animal. I added the fart cloud because I think farts are funny not because Sugar the squirrel is a fierce pooter.

And because I have perpetual gutter brain, the word “come” makes me think of sperms. Personally, I think this would be a highly attractive badge choice but it’s probably not for everyone. I included two of our beloved writers in the semen mix. You might recognize Schmutzie & Una LaMarche’s pretty faces. I’d also like to say on behalf of Mr.T: “I pity the fool who don’t come to the come party.”

And last but not certainly not least…

So, come one, come all! We want you to come! I’m coming! Sugar’s coming! Anissa’s coming! Faiqa & her BFF Britt are coming together! There will be all sorts of people coming! Come in your jeans! Come in your party dress! Come early or come late or come with someone you met on twitter! Just be yourself & come party with us at BlogHer 2011.

    Holy mackerel I wish I was able to be there now I see the invitations. There are no words to describe them, well, none suitable for polite company.

      YOU GUYS! IZZYMOM WILL BE THERE!!! She actually is the coolest out of all of us losers. Make sure you get her to do her party trick. She can fart the alphabet & blow smoke rings while smoking a blunt.* It’s the best thing I’ve ever ever seen on the earth.

      *not true but wouldn’t that be amazing?

    I have never been so honored to have sperm on my face. (Or, you know, vice versa).
