BOLO: faces behind blogs

Not long back, I wrote a post which shared my excitement in being able to hear the voices behind blogs. In it, I noted that many of the blogs I read include a photo of the author, so the voices were going to be the big draw for me.

Well, I was wrong … my dear Ottawa bloggers and their readers are just so darn gorgeous in real life that the faces really made the entire night last night a real treat.

A real treat that was entirely made possible by the amazing Lynn from Diary of a Turtlehead. She really pulled off an awesome event. There were 24 readers in total and the place was packed!

The faces behind the blogs: Cheeky, animated, earnest, radianting intelligence, curious and just plain beautiful. They were all there last night. And here are a few for you to enjoy as well….

Christine reading from Coffees and Commutes:

Katherine reading from Girl About O-town:

Nat reading from From Nat’s Brain:

Dani from Postcards from the Mothership:

Me, enjoying every single reading:

All photo credits belong to my brother Adam Harrison         who shares his thoughts and amazing photography from his recent travels on his blog Adam in Asia (Yes, that was my brother I was with last night… you know…just in case you thought my husband was 27-years old).

Comments

  1. That is SO nice! You do look like you’re enjoying yourself!

    It’s always a pleasure listening to other read. Slightly different when we’re the ones doing the reading.

  2. What a wonderful event, Lynn is my hero. there is just so much talent out there, it’s really humbling.

    (Don’t suppose you’d email me that picture please, one of the few where I don’t look like I have three chins?)

  3. Great photos But done of Dani’s bra? :-)

  4. There were some beautiful people there last night – you included, Julie! Who knew us Ottawa bloggers were so damn gorgeous? 😀

  5. It truly was a special night, and I was honoured to share it with so many amazing and interesting bloggers.

    And wow, I guess I didn’t look so bad!

  6. @Laura – it really was great fun because I love laughing and I was laughing my head off the whole night! (I also read, and enjoyed that too!)

    @Nat – it’s in your email box now! :)

    @CapitalMom – oh, I SO wish I had managed to catch that! I’d have blackmail fodder for years with Dani! teehee!

    @Maven – I know! We are just so damn hot. It’s surprising that they didn’t photograph us bloggers for the next Sports Illustrated really. Their loss.

    @Christine – You were great! You have a really nice, clear speaking voice (with lots of confidence). And you looked just as cute as ever. In fact, I think you and your hubby get voted all-round cutest couple of the night!

  7. great photos from it! a fabulous evening.

  8. I didn’t think anything of you and that young man you were with. Why shouldn’t you have a 27-year-old husband? You’re only about 28 or 29 yourself aren’t you?

    It was splendid to meet you at last. I kept going over to Lynn asking where you were and you were never there. And then when you were it was your moment to star! We’ll have to get together in a less madcap setting some time.

  9. Great presentation Jules and great presentations everyone!

    It was great to see how talented and supportive the community is. Thanks for the belly laughs!

  10. It was a great event with captivating readers and photographers! Lynn really outdid herself this year!:)

  11. I just think this is the coolest event!! And you all seem to be so happy. I am glad to have found you.

    I also think it’s tremendous you would go out with your brother. I have an arty brother that I love to share the evening with as well.

  12. I am very bummed right now. You and Christine were able to meet and listen to each other read? How wonderful! Except FOR ME! Oh well.

  13. Get General Sterling silver jewelry – The key reason why general.

    Black Onyx semi-precious stone is the birthstone for the month of anyone that has been born in February.
    Above all, these bracelets match perfectly
    with any outfit women wears and hence the craze for sterling silver
    bracelets is increasing day by day among the women of
    all classes. Recruiting and team building can lead to significant leadership income with any direct sales
    company. It is because of this that Swarovski jewellery is so popular and also makes them a popular choice for bridesmaid’s accessories at a wedding as they can be perfectly matched
    with the wedding colour scheme. It is too early to assess
    the effect of future wide availability of gem-quality synthetic diamonds on the
    diamond market, although the traditional diamond industry has
    already taken steps to try to create a distinction between diamonds dug from the
    ground and diamonds made in a factory, in part by
    downplaying the fact that diamonds from both sources are actually visually identical.
    is far more interesting than sterling silver studs and plain chains.
    Digital photography for insurance purposes is a wide-open field that is rarely tapped by photographers.
    Rather they can go for colourful jewellery made by
    using beads. Crystal jewellery is now seen as an affordable alternative to fine jewellery and women can now wear jewellery that makes them look a million dollars
    without having to break the bank.

  14. You can go to a creative designer who is able to turn your dreams, words
    and sketches into a reality within your budget.
    Black Onyx semi-precious stone is the birthstone for the month of anyone that has been born in February.
    To start selling you would need to register, set up a shop, list your items, and promote your work.
    Apart from the color of pearl beads jewelry most
    popular and classic white designed by gray or black is
    also in great demand. Clarity of a diamond means the degree of transparency.
    The complete collection of Chipita jewerly can be accessed online
    at several online jewellery shopping stores.
    Layer the jewellery container with cotton if it is not an air
    tight container. High amplifier alternators are often useful
    for EMS automobiles, commercial trucks, excavators,
    chilled trucks, industrial equipment, and mass transit automobiles.
    There are some beautiful pendants available from this stone
    and these can look beautiful hung from simple silver chains or it could
    be a handcrafted design that has other semi-precious stones in the designs.
    This unique feature of hallmarking the stones
    makes it easy to distinguish a real diamond from
    a fake one.

  15. Passo 1: Pinte a parte superior e inferior da caixa de ovos com
    a tinta de cor preta e espere secar.

  16. Cooking styles and seasoning also fluctuate from area to area though
    all the essential cooking methods reminiscent of boiling,
    roasting, frying, steaming and sauteing are used.

  17. A good tip to use when thinking about downloading music is to make sure
    you aren’t tying up your internet connection with other
    things. With a powerful computer, some mics, a digital audio workstation, and a little know-how,
    anyone can record and distribute music. My brother was a drummer and my sister
    was a pianist and a singer.
