Someone Threw Tiny Panties at Me. And I Wasn't Even on Stage!

I believe it was just outside the ballroom at the Sheraton Hotel in Chicago, the location of this year's BlogHer conference, where I felt a tugging at the bottom of my mink stole - you know, the ones that came in the swag bags for the Elitist All-Stars I'm So Way Awesomer Than You Party on Friday night? Oh, you weren't invited to that one? Huh.

"Ms. Panties! Ms. Panties!", a mousy voice tittered from below. A woman was on her knees, leaning down to kiss my feet when I stopped her.

"What is it, child?" I asked.

"Please, Ms. Panties. I read your blog all the time. I've taken to bleating 10 hours a day. Baa-Baa - See? I love you! Please accept this humble gift I made for you."

And in her shaky hands was this:

OK, so maybe that's not exactly how it went down. In fact, now that I think about it, that's not at all how it went down. I think I was picking my nose in some corner when a very nice lady, whom I'd never seen before, after introductions said, "I have something for you" and then gave it to me.

I was kind of floored. And touched. And flattered. And so I'd like to very publicly thank Mary of Unmitigated who took the time to make this gift and carry it all the way to Chicago to give it to me. Thank you, Mary. This was the best swag I brought home from the conference. (Of course, I didn't show up fast enough to the We're Handing Out Free Vibrators Party, so who knows, it might have otherwise been that - is it true that they looked like chocolate Easter bunnies?)
