Jenny Goes to the Big Apple!
Since that kind-of sounds like the title of a children’s book… let’s just go with it, ehh?!
There once was a woman who lived in a shoe grown woman who went to the Big Apple. Except THIS Big Apple was not round, red and crispy. THIS Red Apple was big and smelled like street, pee, hot knish and gyros… and it shined at night… a lot like Jenny’s dress! Yes, she wore THE DRESS!
[photo cred: my much adored Shannon of Mom Improvement. She stood on a chair for this shot!]
When Jenny went to the city, she did lots of exciting things. She met celebrities…
She sang on a big stage. You know, Jenny has always felt she missed her calling as a female gansta-rapper. *gang sign here*
Ice Ice Baby *vanilla*
She ran in a tutu on Broadway. Clearly, Jenny felt a connection with the people of New York. She just blended right in.
Jenny is a BIG adventurer. She took a picture in front of a fountain.
Her grand New York adventure took her on a Sunday morning stroll through Central Park. She took a few moments to sit on a bench, sip on her iced caramel macchiato and be thankful… for the adventure at hand, and the family she was missing at home…
Jenny is a good learner. She learned to carry a bigger purse in which to stash her flip flops, but knew the power of a cute shoe…
Her creativity blossomed in the city. She took pictures of people taking pictures… Clearly, the city became her muse…
Jenny saw the Po-Po…
And like a cherry on top, Jenny crashed a couple’s ride (in a later post) on a petticab/rickshaw/whatever and enjoyed a calm, low-key *cough cough, hack, hack, hack* ride through Times Square.
Jenny had lots of fun in the Big Apple and is pretty sure you can’t see the fear in her neck eyes in the above picture…
Of course, there were many, MANY other adventures… the biggest having to do with the people of BlogHer 10. Oh how Jenny loves her people. But our Jenny is very tired from all her many wonderful adventures, so this Jenny is going to type just a few more letters… The End.

Glad you loved the big trip to the big apple! I’ll tweet at you when I post my pictures
Hi Jenny,
Nice to see you enjoying my city. (I’ve been in PA for 12 years, but I’ll always be a New Yorker on the inside).
Love the tutu. It’s true that you probably didn’t stand out too much in midtown. I miss the craziness.
Hope you enjoyed all of the BlogHer events.

And what a hot babe you were! I had so much fun meeting you and busting a move with you on the dance floor at BlogHer ’10. I am just sad that we did not get a chance to get to know each other better because, as I said in my Tweet to you, I have no doubt that we would become fast and furious friends!
This is great! As I told you, the one with the tourists taking the rickshaw/buggy ride is hilarious! I do believe that Dora is quite envious of your purse! Beats her purple backpack!
YAY! Ia m glad you had a wonderful fabulous TIME!!
YAY! Now get some rest. Either that or a double shot expresso coffee….
had a great time doing the ‘dance off’ with you at the BlogHer party!!! hope to see you soon!!
Glad we ran into each other! Nothing in the world like a hug from Jenny On The Spot!
@dadarocks – it was awesome! And please do tweet me the link!
All of it was super, wonderful!
@ray –
@jillian – The moment I saw your sparkly shirt, and you wicked-smooth dance moves… I knew the deepest of friendships was born…
@lisa – Yeah, I saw her give me a little stink eye. Girls are so competitive!
@onecluttered – Got the coffee!!! Off to get more!
@Jessica – it is rare I concede victory on the dance floor. I am bowing to you… Mentor me…
@nannette – I wanted more time with you!
I am coveting that dress! But whereas you look fan-frickin-tastic in it, on me…it would look more like squeezing 50 pounds of shite into a ten pound bag, albeit a fabulous one.
OMG – you look so cute!! I can’t wait for Blogher 11 so I can go and experience everything. Looks like you had a great time!
Glad to hear the city hasn’t lost any of it’s charm~ or smell of pee, since I lived around them parts.
So glad to have you back where you belong!!
Janice had fun with Jenny in the Big Apple — the second book in the series:
“Janice had always wanted to meet Jenny on the Spot in person. She thought Jenny was very funny and knew that she would be an instant friend. Janice met Jenny in the Big Apple and they laughed, took pictures and realized that the other was just as nuts as they are. It was a great time.”
Girl – you rock! Did you see I tweeted a photo using CameraBag! THANKS for the tip!
LOVE that you posted that pic. Can’t wait to see you again – let’s plan some excuse to meet up in the Pacific Northwest!
You looked SMOKIN’ in that dress. Wowsa.
You looked great in the dress!
It was great meeting you, however briefly. So glad to see you had some great adventures! I had a fabulous time, too, but kept forgetting to take pictures, so nobody is going to believe me …
I was actually thinking that “Jenny goes to the Big Apple” was reminding me a little of a Debbie Does… title…
glad to know it was ALL about FUn Fun FUn!
@dumblond – girl… shut it. I know how you werk it, yo!
San Diego next year!
Ahhh the PNW! P.S. I owe you a birthday squeeze 
@alana – you MUST go. MUST. And if you do – we must meet
@Michelle W – it is good to be back home… it was the wet outdoors I sniffed deep yesterday
@janice – Oh my word. You were a highlight of my trip.Yes, we need to make it a priority to get togethah!
@carina – I’m blushing.
@hotpants – more blushing
@kristen – I took fewer than I thought I would. It is so crazy and you want to spend time talking and hugging – not posing! Look at it this way — what happens at BlogHer – stays at BlogHer – hahaha!
@T – Bwahahahaha!!! Good thing I chose the verb “goes” instead of “does”… amazing the difference, ehh
What a fun post and great pics! Looks like a good time!
Winks & Smiles,
Wifey
Okay, that is my favorite BlogHer wrap up post… so awesome!
And yes, the power of a cute shoe forces us to painful extremes. But I also resorted to flip flops in the end. (I love those red shoes.)
You are so much fun and it was fabulous partying with you in the Big Apple. I can’t wait to see you again.
