Fight the Frump- Oprah Joins The Fun

 

Oprah_loves_fussy

Oprah did a whole show devoted to Fighting the Frump with Fussy makeovers. Here is a little snippet-

"Do you run errands in your pajamas? Are your husband's sweats a staple in your wardrobe? If the answer is yes, you may be a shlumpadinka. Though this word isn't in Webster's Dictionary—yet—Oprah says she knows a shlumpadinka when she sees one. "I made this word up a long time ago," she says. "It represents, for me, a woman who dresses like she has completely given up…and it shows."

Whatevah, as The Tempered Woman said, "It's Frumpadinka not Schlumpadinka!"

Here is an example of her magic non-schlumpadinka-frumpy makeover. This woman is breaking all the Fight The Frump Mandates.

Oprah's Fight the Frump Expert Guest Stylist did a totally Fussy approved makeover. Except for that bag. I would never approve that bag. Ack!

  Does this remind you of Fussy's Supa-Fab Advice?

My beloved trousers slacks pants & a cute jacket.

They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. I guess we'll continue to let Oprah play along. Seriously, Oprah, next time at least throw us some linky love, Sheesh!

My love to all my Fabulous Frump Fighters (and you too, Oprah),

Fussy

Blissfully Domestic Nashville Blogging Conference- I haz it!

Blissdom_announcement

Blissfully Domestic is hosting our first blogging & social networking conference next month here in beautiful Nashville. We are teaming up with the wonderful people at Epson to host a fun, intimate and informative conference and fun cocktail party.

On Saturday, October 18th, we will host a free {yes, I said free} all-day event  featuring brilliant women from across the globe. All speakers will be on panels sharing our knowledge, tips, secrets and lives. Because we are focusing on Q & A sessions we will limit our attendee size to 75.

We just opened a forum discussion on the Blissfully Domestic Social Network. Please join in. All through the week, the attendees and speakers will be joining in and announcing their involvement.

We will open up registration on Friday and announce the lucky women who get to attend on Monday. If, due to space concerns, you are unable to get a seat, have no fear. We are planning a huge annual blogging conference in February. We think February is a perfect time to escape with our girlfriends for a weekend, don't you?

Now, head on over to the BDLiving Social Network to find out more, add your thoughts & ideas and find out which of your favorite bloggers will be there! Maybe like her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her or her? And that was just to name a few!

Love to you all, Alli

Voting & funnies. Grab your depends!

These made me giggle-

Yes, I am a bad person for laughing. I admit it! ;)

Now, I don't have a cat, but the little thought bubbles on this one were too cute.
