Bossy Went To A Blog Conference And All She Got Was This Gay
Meet Carson Kressley.
This past weekend, Bossy and Carson hung out at a Nikon event, where hung out equals they compared notes on shiny faces, flyaway hair, and the ability to snap self-portraits employing the stretch-arm technique — all of which are accounted for in the above photo.
Carson also offered Bossy a bit of fashion and hair advice, and because Bossy is a reporter she wrote everything down — only she isn’t a reporter and she didn’t write anything down. Lucky thing Bossy wasn’t drinking champagne because then there would be little chance of Bossy recalling their exchange. Oh, wait.
But Bossy does remember Carson said something about a product to control frizzy hair, and Bossy paid strict attention because of a little preexisting condition Bossy likes to call frizzy hair. And this is what Carson said: Biolage. The only problem is Bossy can’t remember which of the Biolage products he recommended, which is fine because Bossy knows she can do a quick internet search:
Carson Kressley offered other advice, too — especially about maximizing stuff. And minimizing stuff. He said something about how to minimize a large chest area and because Bossy has enormous boobs she was hanging on his every word.
Carson also believes every woman needs a sensible pair of heels so as not to lean too heavily on less feminine footwear, and when Carson said that, he was definitely not referring to the Converse sneakers Bossy had paired with her skirt.
And maybe he said something about a black dress. Or perhaps it was about how prints are in. And then there was mention of an item everyone needs; an item that should be fabulous when other items can be cheap and less showy. Bossy said, “You mean like a signature piece!” and Carson said, “Yes, like a signature piece!” and that signature piece item Carson was referring to is!
Bossy got the best of all gays! Well done, Bossy!
That is a really good photo of both you and the ULTIMATE gay! You bagged the best!
Damn. I went to BlogHer and all I got was a cold sore.
P.S. I think you rock.
We certainly hope that Carson is reading this post, so he can fill us all in!
(I think I’m supoosed to know who Carson is, but I don”t.)
I really want to know what should be in the ? box.
You have a beautiful complexion, Bossy.
Bossy may have frizzier hair than Carson, but she’s infinitely cuter.
I recommend to any ladies with curly hair: check out the Curly Girl hair management method and STOP USING SHAMPOO. Ya don’t need it! It strips the curl out of your hair! When I stopped using shamps, my hair became my BFF. First thing I do in the shower is scrub my scalp with a good curly hair conditioner, rinse it out, put conditioner in the ends, and leave it in while I’m scrubbing and shaving the rest of my carcass. I don’t rinse the conditioner from the ends until the last minute, then I gently crunch-toweldry when I get out of the shower. I don’t brush my hair unless I’m about to shower; I never, ever blowdry. I may be old and fat, but I gots the 80s rockstar hair of my dreams!
P.S. Can we see a video or read a transcript of Bossy’s SPEECH???
P.P.S. Whose baby got elbowed in the head?
I sort of adore you.
That is all.
K.
Two words: padded bra (they are the best!)
it’s really too bad how you have such difficulty finding the gays. you really should try to find one that’s sort of well-known next time.
Ha! Caroline, I was just coming in here to recommend the Curly Girl method!
It’s a good idea to get the Curly Girl book and read it, but here is the gist: wash your hair with silicone-free conditioner (google what that means) and use a clear hair gel that is also silicone-free. Your curly hair will take you out and buy you a drink and thank you for saving it’s life!
Is it just me or do Bossy and Carson look like siblings? I think I just blew my own mind…
Isn’t Carson wonderful – I met Carson at the Black Tie & Boots Ball and we hung out all night talking horses and bad main line attire.. but mostly we talked horses – cuz that’s just what horsey people do.
–>I like Bossy’s inner curl has gotten loose and looks good!

Yay, Carson! I loved him on Queer Eye. Now, where’s your picture with Tim Gunn?
Bossy’s boobs look good, too.
I wouldn’t mind, taking you to a ballet, sitting after at a nice slow progressive French dinner with a medium filet au poivre and SEVERAL Manhattans.
yall look like twins separated at birth. beautiful twins with fly-away hair and no boobies.
David worked at Polo with Carson. He wasn’t very nice to David, so I hold it against him.
I was all set to leave the highly original comment that you and he look like siblings — but I see that two other people have already beaten me to that brilliant insight. So instead I’ll say that it was great to be able to give you a giant hug in person again.
That’s it. I’m going to BlogHer next year just to see you again.
(You look lovely, by the way.)
Bossy really nailed that interview – where “nailed” equals managed to be highly entertaining while extracting absolutely no useful information. Or perhaps you are only keeping all your newly discovered beauty secrets to yourself?
No way!!
I actually use Curls Rock, a Catwalk conditioner available at my local Supercuts (the only reason I go there is to buy this product!) It probably has silicone in it, but it works just fine.
P.P.P.S. About the boobs? Better to have ‘em tied around your neck than banging around by your knees. Trust me on this. ;o)
I thought he was Carson Presley/Pressley/Presley? You look fabulous!
Did he mention you are “thin as a whippet”? ‘Cause that’s very much “in” now. However, we could fix that if you ever came to Sonoma with lots of artisanal sausage, full cream cheeses and gallons of wine.
P.S. — You look like Twin Children of Different Mothers.
OK, not it’s my turn to be jealous, spitting jealous.
NOW it’s my turn to be jealous, spitting jealous.
Pass the champagne.
Have you photoshopped out the shine… cause I cannot see it anywhere. Or perhaps you haven’t seen REAL shine? Whatever…
I ADORE Carson (I know, could he BE any further geographically, sexually and sartorially, away from BB?) but it’s true. I wonder if he likes RM WIlliams gear? Hmmmm. Perhaps a whip was the signature fashion item Bossy is having trouble recalling… cause I can just imagine Bossy weilding one of those, possibly with a champagne in the other hand!
BB
What did you talk about (besides ) up at that big Sheraton-Something podium? Memory tips, I bet. Or champagne.
Recently someone told me a Very Memorable Statement that was huge. And I forgot it. Am still probing corners of the memory banks to see if it rolled under, out of sight, among the dust bunnies…
I think Bossy’s daddy’s got some ’splaining to do.
I agree with poster #11. I thought the same thing when I saw the photo.
I’ve got myself some curly-ass hair…always have, and the best/easiest combo I’ve got going right now is running some curel lotion in it after it’s been up in a towel for a few minutes-the glycerin is a gem on keeping the top and ends from going all fuzz-bomb on me, garnier curl spray gel (love cheap stuff) and Aveda curl pomade crap where I need a little extra hold… and just a little because that expensive tube will last me 6 months and I have some thing for the smell of Aveda stuff.
Was he included in everyone’s swag bag or just yours?
It was great meeting you and not eating water-extracting goat cheese tartlettes despite massive peerpressure from you.
You’re a riot.
Bossy and her Gay have matching eyes! and I, for one, thought Bossy’s Converse sneaks were great.
Nice one Bossy! I got Carson to pose for a ridiculous thumbs up shot… one that I plan on framing nonetheless.
Love Carson. Love the not-at-all-frizzy curls. Love your blog. Oh, and the lighting in that first photo makes your arms looked ripped!
YOU are amazing, fun, and beautiful. Thank you for the best night on the town of the entire conference, and for being brave enough to be the first reader. If we don’t stay in contact I will start burning shit to the ground.
Good Gay Get!!!
Well done!
Who are you speaking to there up on that stage-thingy and what are you speaking about.
Damn it, woman…I need details!
p.s. Is it just me or do you and Carson look a little like long-lost siblings?
I’m nothing if not original.
fuhhh…
Apparently it’s NOT just me.
What? Converse goes with everything. They have a shoe for every outfit.
That’s it. Next Bossy is going to have her own TV show. Mark my words.
You had me at boobs around the neck.
bossy has alzheimers. the end.
Carson was my brother’s roomate in college.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the cones if they don’t bother you. I stopped using shampoo on a friend’s recommendation, but after a couple of weeks my head was horribly itchy. I did some research and decided it was because of the silicone buildup, which is what the SLS shampoo usually washes away – the two form a vicious cycle. So when I switched to a cone free conditioner, the itchiness went away.
But no two heads are alike, and maybe the Curls Rock conditioner doesn’t have a lot of cones.
And then Carson went home and was all “OMG you guys, I met BOSSY”!
Oh good grief! Yet another reason I’m glad I went to BlogFest and not BlogHer. Tis sad but true, had Carson Kressley ran into me, my poor state of affairs when it comes to hair and clothing would have sent poor Mr. Kressley into cardiac arrest.
He looks like he could be your twin brother.
I think he meant the Biolage spray milk shine – I use it and it is very nice and tames my wavy, frizzy hair. Bossy – you looked fabulous with Carson and at the podium!
I have fine, thin, straight hair, and boobs that have gone from a 36C to a 36 Long.
Consider yourself blessed.
Hoping you’ll tell us a little about what you said at the podium thingy? But there’s no comedy in that so doubting it even as I type this. Oh well.
Carson said black beret, which BOSSY rocks. Not that I was there to hear. I just know.
