so its come to my attention that a certain blogger-er has been invited to our super cool portland tumblr meet up potluck next saturday. while she may be a hip fashion blogger and famous national geographic writer, this will not stop me from tying wrists with her and having a knife fight to the death, preferably the choreographed jazz-tap kind.
