You gotta love Facebook memories!
Today, I was reminded of one of the very first Cocktails with Claire, which took place at LA’s Pinky Rose Boutique on July 28, 2008.

A handful of Bombshells gathered at the cute store. My boyfriend at the time bought a handle of vodka and made drinks himself. I got my makeup done at the MAC counter at Beverly Center. I found somewhere to do my hair, but the front didn’t dry, so the front of my hair was straight while the back was curly!

Fast forward 8 years later and we have drink sponsors, vendors, panelists, and snazzy venues!


We’re even going on tour, popping into Chicago this weekend, Atlanta next weekend (tickets going on sale tomorrow), and LA August 20th!
Those pix just made me see that things really do get better with time! And even though we have experienced a few hiccups with planning this year, we gone be alright.
See some of you soon!
Smootches!
