Girlfriend We Gotta Talk

Memoir for the Hot & Flashy

Listen Now!

Ever feel hot?  How about flashy? 

Multiple #1 New York Bestselling author Jill Conner Browne’s newest book “American Thighs:  The Sweet Potato Queen’s Guide to Preserving Your Assets” is a sort of handbook and memoir for the hot and flashy for us all – whether you’re young enough to look hot or of the age to only feel that way (in flashes with buckets of sweat). 

In fact, Mary was so inspired by Jill’s book that she created a light pink nail polish called “Preserving My Assets.”

Listen in as she shares asset preserving tips for your skin, why it’s important to have friends who remember you when you were young and more!

Since Friday when the show started we had been doing our duty to check out the entire array of shops, services and food available under one roof. 

We browsed, asked questions, tried things on, and laughed a lot just so we could determine the winners of our 3 unofficial but oh so colorful “Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!” Awards.

Cutest Award went to Belinda Barber of My Stuff Boutique Buys for her cute, cute, cute (and affordable) jackets!  We are sporting our new jackets below:

Funniest Award went to Lee Shulleeta of Freeze Frame Photo Booth who was there with Skirt magazine.  You can see how much fun we had taking these crazy photos!
