It was a LIVE from New York kinda show yesterday on "Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!" as broadcast in front of a crowd at the Southern Women’s Show in Richmond, VA.
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:

Yummiest Award went to Jeff Cooper of Cooper Vineyards for their absolutetly yummy Noche dessert wine that tastes like red wine and chocolate!

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!
A Funniest Award Honorable Mention is Loretta Ruskin of Gaia Gifts for their hilarious cocktail napkins!
Fortunately each of our winners were brave enough to chat on air with us with little notice. They were such troopers!
And The Other Winners Are ...
