So, Tuesday I woke up uber -excited because it was the day I was attending Lauren Conrad's book signing. Lame, I know. Well, considering I work a 8-5:30 job, I took my lunch break at 8:15 to be one of the first in line to get a wrist band to get my book signed by the "LC".Low and behold I get the 2 hours early once I get off work and I am among around the 50th to get there, but no worries since I had the "preferred" wristband I got escorted to one of the first to meet her.
After all that trouble, I find out there is no personalized book signing [ie, my autograph looks like it came already printed on the book], no pictures with Ms. Conrad, and about 2 seconds until I was rushed out of line. Which wouldn't have mattered anyways since I was so starstruck, all the questions I wanted to ask her I just couldn't. I think if I were to open my mouth besides saying the word "hello", I would jumble them all up anyways. Awkward, let me tell you. The fact is though, I figured she would at least make at least one type of conversation. This proves my theory of her not really having a personality. Her fashion makes up for that though, period.
Other than that, while I was waiting in line I was approached by the Orlando Sentinel [for
those who don't know, it is the main newspaper in the city of Orlando]. Keep in mind, I am in anticipation for LC to come out and I have the same feeling I have in my stomach when I go to see Donnie. Nervous and definite butterflies. Well, she asked me if I would mind if she took pictures of me. At first I was like, "WHO IS THIS LADY???", then she introduced herself as the fashion writer for the Orlando Sentinel. She was covering the "Snapped!" section which features people on the street/or attending events of fashion she admires. The fact that she chose me was a total shock seeing as I had just left work and didn't feel all that fashionable. If you would like to check out me out the link is: Orlando Sentinel: Snapped!.

Another plus of the night, I fell and slipped on the floor at Brio, probably the nicest restaurant I have every been to and got a free meal. SCORE!
