I was lucky enough to attend an exclusive event here in NYC on Wednesday - my girl
Kitty Bradshaw's one year Blogiversary party. In addition to celebrating
KittyBradshaw.com's one year mark, we also celebrated Kitty being named a
Gap Brand Enthusiast. Because of this, there were cute boys walking around in Gap jeans during the event ... which, of course, I enjoyed immensely.
The party was held at the
Nightingale Lounge in the East Village - which was the perfect-sized venue. The crowd was cute, friendly, and Kitty looked fantastic. When the official photos are released, I'll see if I can share some of them with you all. In the meantime, fab blogger
The Shoenista (
who I was so happy to finally meet) has some pictures
HERE.
Let me tell you one thing - Kitty Bradshaw knows how to throw an event (
and remember bitches, I'm an Event Planner). There was no fuss, no drama, lots of friendly faces and lots of networking. And Kitty served as Guest of Honor and Mistress of Ceremonies with the greatest of ease. Thanks again to Kitty for the invitation.
But to REALLY show you that Kitty DOES NOT MESS AROUND, take a look at the gift bag (
AKA Swag Bag) I received on my way out the door. Unfortunately I had to leave early so I could get back to the apartment and take notes for my
Top Chef Masters recap.
This is what I walked out with...

Here is a partial list: bottles of
Sprite Green and
FYXX Energy Water, a copy of
Uptown Magazine,
M&M's, condoms from
LIFEbeat, a tote bag and luggage tags from
Cabot Creamery (
Candace Karu - the Cabot Rep - was a DOLL), the most fantastic "Island Punch" candle from
Yum Yum Candle, and "Almond Cookie Shea Body Lotion" from
Carol's Daughter (
which smells good enough to eat). I have been to many events over the years - and just those items (
I'm sure I'm forgetting something - sorry) would have been PLENTY.
But Kitty Bradshaw has to go the extra mile. The day before the event, she called me and asked me what my shoe size was. Because I GOT A PAIR OF
SOUTHPOLE SHOES!...

And finally, since this WAS a
Gap-sponsored event, Kitty made sure I got a gift card for A FREE PAIR OF
GAP JEANS!!!...

Seriously, I think this was probably the best Swag Bag I have ever gotten in my 16 years of attending NYC events. Thanks again to Kitty for looking out for me and the rest of your guests.
