Friday's Featured Female – Girls Night Out at Paint & Sip Studio LA

So, I’m cheating a bit by not featuring an actual female for #FFF but when the female-owned Paint and Sip Studio Los Angeles offered a Girls Night Out for a few of my favorite local bloggers, I figured it was a great way to experience the cultural offerings of LA, gab and drink a bit.

After coming back from my New York trip, I needed an LA grounding experience and painting, sipping (BYOB) and socializing with 3 very funny and smart ladies, AJ@ConfessionsofaFatGirl, Chris@WhatIRunInto and Anne@AnneHogan seemed like a great way to make that happen. Facebook had been already taunting me for months with group photos featuring a bunch of happy (slightly drunk) people all holding the same masterpiece from similar painting parties so I figured, why not?

Friday's Featured Female – Gillian@That'sG.com

Today’s Friday’s Featured Female is the very sweet, smart and very athletic Gillian@That’sG (soft g in Gillian BTW). I met Gillian at FitBlogLA and her great smile and sunny personality made her a person I definitely had to get to know after the rush of meeting a whole slew of people was over. I’m so glad that the blogging world has brought this fun girl into my real life. Gillian and I did a 2 hour hot yoga class together not long ago and even though we weren’t in the same van together, we were part of the same Ragnar team just last month! I’m amazed at how Gillian does all that she does and has a smile on her face. I’m inspired by her and I know you will be too.

So……….have you met Gillian?

Hi everyone! I’m Gillian and I blog over at That’s G.

Friday's Featured Female – Karen Booth

Welcome to Friday’s Featured Female!

This weekly series features inspirational stories from admirable women. IMHO, it’s always good to be reminded of how strength, determination, hard work, heart and ingenuity can impact the quality of one’s life and I’m proud that these women will allow me to share their stories here.

Today I’m featuring author, parent, fellow 80’s diehard and Duranie extraordinaire, Karen Booth. Karen and I have Duran Duran and Twitter for bringing us together. I really am indebted to social media for expanding my circle of friends (is that cool or sad because many of them I’ve never even met IRL). Even though Karen has gotten the chance to meet Duran Duran on more than one occasion, I still like her (very much in fact).

Yeah, that’s Karen and John Taylor.

Fridays Featured FemaleS – The Dirrty Dozen Ragnar Team

Welcome to Friday’s Featured FemaleS!

This week’s feature doesn’t just highlight one woman but it highlights a #DirrtyDozen of them. Today I want to give a huge shout out the members of my So Cal Ragnar Team (technically, I’m not highlighting myself but 11 sounded ridiculous).

Get to know these 11 amazing women that will be covering 200 miles with me (from Huntington Beach to San Diego). Not all of these ladies are bloggers (and many aren’t even active in social media) but they are all amazing women and athletes. The list below is in runner order with their leg mileages and terrain difficulty noted: […]

Friday's Featured Female – AJ @ Confessions Of A Fat Girl

Welcome to Friday’s Featured Female!

This weekly series features inspirational stories from admirable women. IMHO, it’s always good to be reminded of how strength, determination, hard work, heart and ingenuity can impact the quality of one’s life and I’m proud that these women will allow me to share their stories here.

Today I have the extreme pleasure of featuring Amanda Joy (AJ) Feuerman@ConfessionsOfAFatGirl on the blog today. Even though I met AJ (for like a minute) not long after I moved to LA, it was only via social media that I got the chance to learn of this woman’s quick wit, dedication to music and overall love of pop culture. AJ also shares a bit of my bicoastal affinity (as you’ll soon find out).

AJ is a master with words (both written and spoken as I learned when we roomed together at the Women Get Social conference) and her ability to communicate, educate and make you laugh at the same time is something that is rare in a person who also has a great heart. I’ve really come to look forward to any and every interaction I can have with this woman and so will you!

Sooooo, have you met AJ? […]
