Or maybe I'll take it to Orlando and read it while sitting beside the pool (while you are all attending your workshops -- mwahahahah!). <br /><br />I'm thinking I'll be wearing a little something stretchy and comfortable. I'm still sporting a few extra "revision cave" pounds.

The front is dusted with amethyst chip sequins in a sort of fireworks pattern. Six inch black silk heels and Gerard Butler on one arm and Richard Armitage on the other. <br /><br />Just spotted La Campbell. Gotta run! Come on, Richard before she sees us!

The Duke boys sound wonderful, and I'm looking forward to diving into my copy.<br /><br />I'd like to be on the best dressed list, so I think I'll go with midnight blue silk, princess bodice on an empire waist, floor-length, with sweetheart neckline and elbow-length sleeves. Accessorizing with an iolite teardrop pendant on a gold chain.<br /><br />I'm coming to the party with Timothy Olyphant (from Justified on FX), and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone's celeb dates.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-90135546976646714412010-07-12T16:32:03.551-04:002010-07-12T16:32:03.551-04:00Congrats, Kate, on your launch!

I gave up my seat from Denver (seeking good karma) but my luggage let without me.<br /><br />I logged on immediately upon returing home as the RomCon hotel blocked access to Romance Bandits -what naughty adventures did you have over the weekend?<br /><br />My date for the RomCon Adventure was Bandita Anna Campbell ... who happens to be the living celebrity I wanted to meet (I am being paid in Tam Tams for this endorsement). We may not land on Mr. Blackwell's list, but Anna may soon sweep American Idol. She was so jubilent in meeting romance fans that she <br />just broke out into song and tapped danced her way into our hearts (Tam Tams go a long way).<br /><br />Alas, I left my date in Denver but look forward to seeing Anna and other Banditas in Orlando!<br /><br />Just a quick word about RomCon - it was fabulous. We didn't need Lars and Sven as we had Ranger Rick and Cowboy Charlie!Kim in Baltimorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335590022753325700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-54006693089603923202010-07-12T15:58:34.058-04:002010-07-12T15:58:34.058-04:00Jeanne, Snork!!!Jeanne, Snork!!!Kate Carlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863555050062113192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-50810232433830566012010-07-12T15:58:11.128-04:002010-07-12T15:58:11.128-04:00Terri, WOO HOO for Money Honey!!!!!

I think that's going to keep a certain rooster on his toes!<br /><br />I'm going to borrow something darling from Audrey Hepburn's wardrobe for the event (plus her gorgeous figure!) Givenchy, darling, of course! I'll bring Cary Grant circa 1950 with me as my date:)<br /><br />I think a martini is in order!
