Just wanted to pop in and say hello! It was great seeing you (you looked more than mah-velous!!!) and Serge @ the show. Looking forward to seeing you again in Florida this August.

Sus - you looked RADIANT! It was great to see you looking so happy - and I'm glad we had a chance to talk!
:agrin: :inlove:

Hello Kath!!

It was wonderful to see you again my friend...(ahhaha...now I sound like sextoyking... :rolleyes: ). I've missed you!

I am excited about your new position with Klixx....you are an amaxing writer, and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Please come visit on Oprano soon and often...smart, strong, wise women are always a bonus!!

Tell Bertrus hello for me....

Hi LL,

Sorry I missed you again :(

A big congrats to you and Serge, you guys make a great couple :inlove:

Hugs and Loves

Todd

I can't figure which is the "better half". :moon:

Hey Susanne,

It was great catching up with you again! Maybe next time 'mean ole Serge' will let you go shopping with me, though I guess he'd better make a few more million before he lets me loose with you, :D

Don't forget to write, I don't have your email addy!

Heather,
nice seeing you for the first time...

why nobody told me you have a great ass???

I'd never been mean to you if I knew that
;-)))

Ummmm...cause I don't? :rolleyes:

But then, I've managed to go years without actually seeing it, even in a mirror, :D

I promise it will be much smaller in Phoenix, Xmas screwed up my diet, but I'm back at it again, lost 4 pounds in Vegas, guess all that schmoozing was good for me. :bjump: :cdance: :bdance: :bwave:

I promise it will be much smaller in Phoenix
*****************************************

why????

why mess with prefection?????????????
;-)))

Ok, you made me laugh out loud that time! :biglaugh:

Heather darling!

It was so good to see you again...you look great...you spicy hot mama you.

Yeah, I think Serge thought you'd be a bad influence on my spending habits. :rolleyes: I wonder why.....hahahaha

I'll send you my email address as soon as I find yours, and we can plan world dommination, peace on earth, and death to infidels. Life is good!

:rolleyes:

I'll settle for domination of the Latin Niche and an open-ended charge at Nordie's :P

Don't forget to come down here, and my email addy is in my profile :D

Especially those who are great writers.... Oprano has to many hacks like me! haha

Welcome to Oprano Kath!

:bdance: :bjump:

Wow...thanks for the welcome MikeAI :)

And to think I'd been warned off this board for so long - what a welcoming group over here. I definitely have to get in on this PHB thing next year - looks like one of the classiest events at the show! Well done all - Oprano has really come into its own. :D

Heather!!! Great seeing you - what an amazing transformation! Hopefully we're all finding out the secret to success here and the web women will be hailed as the incredible shrinking web women by the next show - lol Looking forward to August already! :okthumb:

Kath...good morning!!

Oprano is a wonderful place for people with intelligence....you belong here!

Stupid people don't survive all that long though...... :rolleyes:

The PHB was made for people like you Kath...a much quieter and smaller party...where you can meet new people and enjoy the evening, and not fight the crowds of unknown pimps and hos for an hour just to get a drink. And we have a lot of fun!! :D

Good to see you here!!

...and ...Oprano gives women "full support",
the photo to follow shortly today
;-)))

Hi Kath!! :bwave:

Congrats on klixxx :rokk:

What on earth did you lot plan at that secret womens business meeting I keep hearing about? Incedible Shrinking Women.. Is that a new reality site theme or something!?!
:bulb1:

lol - Opti I missed that meeting, had too much business to do on the expo floor and in dinner meetings, etc. I hear there are more planned for the summer show so WATCH OUT guys! lol

Actually - for those who went to the show - you will notice that a lot of the "leading ladies" on the web are really slimming down. I guess the old webmaster diet of Mountain Dew & Cheetos has gone by the way-side.

Heather is a new woman - hopefully there are some pics, she looks incredible!
Susanne is AMAZING - not only has she lost a lot of weight but she's just glowing!
I'm about 1/2 way there (I lost 50 pounds last year) - and should be to my goals by the summer show...

Plus - a lot of other women in the industry (and guys too - let's be fair here) have been really taking better care of themselves and are looking good! It's really nice to see everyone looking a lot more healthy!

:bwave: :bjump: :bdance:

Hmmmmm....that explains a lot about the folks I was getting advice from re: this board. Now that I see it's a battle of wits here @ Oprano - I realize that most of those peeps were probably unarmed players. lol

I think I'm going to enjoy the challenges & community of this lot!

:bulb2:

You'll fit right in here, Kath :) :D You looked great, too,keep it up. I expect to be down at least another size by Phoenix...not ready to strut anything in Jamaica yet, lol

I highly recommend getting the convention crud, though..I came home needing to alter my clothes again. Good thing I have an excellent and cheap seamstress. I'm still wearing my size 28 clothes..they've been recut and I should be able to keep them all the way to size 10 or so. Saved me thousands of dollars on new clothes.

Summer's gonna be tough though, none of that stuff's really salvageable...I guess Serge will need to send me his Nordie's card :P

Being a non-leading lady, I've decided to pack the pounds on :angry: I swear, I had no idea how bad it was until I saw the pictures - EEK! :zoinks:

Peaches darling, you were the MOST SHAGGEABLE WEBMISTRESS OF 2002....don't forget that!! Congratulations girl...and I think you look great.

As for the rest of us "leading ladies" Kath lost 50 pounds, Heather too, and me about 35.

KK lost the most....she ditched almost 200 pounds recently. :awinky:

I'm up to 105...and KK only shed about 3 oz. of brain tissue..hehe

Alright Heather...what's your secret for losing 105 pounds?? Low fat? Adkins? The Man Juice Diet?? :rolleyes:

Hi Ladies!

Thought that I might as well tread into virgin board territory myself, and put in my praises of the incredible shrinking web ladies! Heather, I cannot tell you how wonderful you looked and how even more wonderful it was to see you again! Enjoyed spending time with you.

Kath, you know how I feel, you deserve all the great things coming your way!

Lady Law, did not get much of a chance to chat, you were busy the times I came by, but wanted to congratulate you and Serge! Finally got a chance to meet him as well, he was very sweet and funny too!

LL...I'll never tell, lol The last 5 pounds I lost in Vegas while Kimmy was eating Eggs Benedict every morning :P

Bestat, it was terrific seeing you, too! I really enjoyed seeing you, and the "bitches" said to say Hi! :lol:

I hope to see you again in Phoenix. Thanks for letting me hang out in the cool "Toon" Booth :P

you forgot to add lisa to the shrinking ladies club!
i'm down about 10kg too, but unfortunately, when i lose weight, it all goes from the tits ... i'm down a whole cup size!!!!! now, where's those chocolate chip cookies ...

OK I am going to start a auction to raise money to send food to CJ!! She needs TimTams ( or something like that), some ice cream, and of course chocolate chip cookies.

CJ baby....chocolate chip cookies....yummmm....what a fun way to recover from your "little" problem. hahahaha

Lisa is such a sweetheart!! I really enjoyed sharing booth space with her...and some quality time here and there....she stood in as my Australian surrogate for you CJ.

Bestat, thank you for the congrats!! I'm sorry we didn't get to talk...I saw you once and then you were gone. Your booth looked great! Appears biz is doing really well. We'll have to catch up next show. :inlove:

LOL
i have a packet of chocolate chip cookies on my desk ... i have to eat no gluten, no dairy, no sugar and no acidic foods ... so i have gluten & dairy free chocolate chip cookies with no added sugar ... its really not the same LOL

LL, yes lisa is a good representative for the aussie gals, we just got off the phone ... i now have the full run down on all events at the show and am deeply concerned ...

serge, as if the dick in the coffee pot wasn't enough ... you are now going totally nude for the camera?! i promise never to visit the web site!!! LOL

jennifer from pmb, why did you have to take your pants off to throw up?!!??!?!? LMAO

sounds like it was a hell of a show ... good to see a few new people posting over here ... see, we aren't that scary!!!

LL,

Saw the pick of you and all the gals at the show (I hate that I had to miss it), you all look wonderful so stop complaining....

I wonder if we could get Oprano to sponsor some kind of contest for most dropped dress size between shows <g>

Knowing serge he would rather sponsor the most dropped dresses AT the show!

CJ...at least 10 of my pounds still sitting on these massive hips are your fault, girlie...Violet Crumbles! You got me addicted to them in Phoenix..remember that little bag of goodies you brought? B)

Sorry you weren't here at the show, but it was great to see Lisa! Hope you can make it to Phoenix, I'll be there, hopefully 7 sizes down..6 so far..ugh. It's so depressing to have lost 6 dress sizes and still be a chubber :P

CJ...are you having health problems? All those dietary restrictions sound like a drag!

And it seems that a lot of people were taking their pants off, including KK and Allie lol

I don't think I want to know the story about the coffee pot, good thing I was gone for that one! :zzz:

are you serious!??!?! LMAO

those are YUMMY!!!
we also have a similar one 'crunchie' which i like better

i am responsible for 70% of tim tam addictions in the usa also ;-))))
(its all part of a long term business plan to get a nation addicted and owning the exporting rights to usa)

:yowsa:

Violet Crumbles?! I need more info!! :bjump:

I've been hooked on TimTams for years - and Choclairs from Canada. Once you start eating chocolate from outside the states, you realize how crappy American chocolate is! :angry:

And me living around the corner from Hoffmans Chocolate Factory. You can smell is for blocks away....

Not fair to my ever expanding posterior! :cryin:

Bestat - great to see you on the board! I'm really enjoying Oprano - nice to be around some quick wit. You gotta love it! :)

BTW - thanks again for such an awesome dinner on the last night of the show. It really capped things off to be with such a great group of folks - and I think those dinners at Mizuno's really need to be an annual thing. Next time we'll invite some more faces and take up a couple more tables. Fantastic dinner - fantastic dining experience - and absolutely fantastic friends. :wnw:

Looking forward to seeing you guys @ the next show already! :D

Hi Kath and Bestat! :bwave:

Shannon, you are shrinking too!! You babe you.... :rolleyes:

that's GREAT that y'all have lost some weight

-- but heh, small world..... i think i found some of it !

;-)))

LL, was wonderful meeting you too. I'm glad we managed to grab a few quiet moments for some 'girlie chat'. I'll never be an adequate stand-in for CJ (not sure anyone could be really!), but at least I had the accent!

I missed Kath at this show...couldn't find her anywhere, but I did manage to catch up with Bestat, LadySharlot, Marcia and several of the other porn chicks. :D

Lisa, you rock!! Australians in general are just plain cool...

I REALLY enjoyed getting to know you, and if you EVER want to come visit Florida you are more than welcome to stay here....just don't bring TimTams...oh please....I can't resist them. :rolleyes:
