#Adventures in Adventuring: Bye Bye LA, Hello NYC!!

Hi friends, 

By the time you all read this, I shall be on a flight to NYC. See, I'm spending the week with this SUPER rad startup, (that I'm hoping I can announce to you all tomorrow). It's SO FREAKING DISRUPTIVE and shit like that just makes my heart SOOOAAARRR. I adore freaking people out, and watching their eyes bug out when they start to see something in a different way. This startup is just that - it's like yelp for people; a relationship and dating review site. 

Guys have been reviewing me, and I even had one talk about what it was like to bone ... that was gnarly to read, and again, I should be able to screen shot and show you all tomorrow. 

I preach transparency, so I have ZERO shame in not only being involved with these people, but promoting people to review me as well. So freaking rad!!!!! 

Anywho ... I'll have the rundown of the weekend in a bit. It was SO amazing to get to see my parents this weekend, and then to get to take them down on the red carpet for the Oscars. I had the time of my life yesterday.

OH!!! And thank you all for the comments, and tweets ... here is my dress ... 

 

It's on loan from Donna Mizani ... but check out the back on this thing!! 

It's so awkward btw taking a picture of your own bum ... but I have a small waist with hips and an ass for DAYS - so the fact that this dress was cut SO FLATTERING seriously made my life. 

Also, dresses should be fitted with QR codes. For reals, I kept getting stopped and it's not like people are going to remember who I'm wearing, but if they could scan it with their phone and then boom have the option to either buy or put on hold in some capacity ... that'd totally be rad. 

Food for thought for models and actors - they have this platform so why not sell a few dresses while posing for pics. 

Off I go to NY. I'm staying in a super fancy pants hotel, and am even having a car pick me up at the airport so I don't get lost on the bus. I'm totally going hardcore dorkage on the driver and am going to take a picture of him holding the "Friel" sign. 

Oh yeah ... I am that girl ... and I am freaking OWNING IT!!!
