Blog Day 2007

Sarah over at Pink Shoe Diaries tagged me for Blog Day 2007 and really put me in the hot seat. As y'all know, I adore all the bloglinks on my blogroll, but I'm going to think about some that are Must Reads Daily (besides Sarah's and Jenny's) and try to find some that aren't necessarily on there.

Also - to amp up the game, I'm not going to link to any blogs that they described during their Blog Day 2007 posts either.

Here are the Rules:

1. List five Blogs that you find interesting and if you can tell, include the city/country where they are from.

2. Identify five Bloggers to tag to join in this game with you. I recommend emailing the bloggers you tag to give them a heads up of you tagging them.

3. Use the tag: BlogDay2007 in your blog post.

4. (Optionally): Contact the owners of the blogs you shared as your “blogs to take a look at.”

SO, here are my choices:

1) For my daily "gossip", I cannot live without Crazy Days & Nights. This is written by an entertainment lawyer in, where else, LA baby, and let me tell you - has he got the scoop on everything! While we all love (or loathe - your call) Perez Hilton, CD&N is an awesome blog if you are looking for something a bit "different".

2) For all things PR related, I must read PRDifferently written by Peter Shankman in NYC. This is one of the top publicists in the industry, imo, and his witty off beat humor and poignant views on topics related to the public relations industry make it a must read. Plus - I can never leave that site without a smile. Commenting that Lizzie Grubman's new client must be the sun, too much *LOL*

3) I know I've mentioned her before and she is on my blogroll, but when it comes to PF - one of the best is Single Ma's Fabulous Financials! Based around Washington, DC, this blogger knows her stuff when it comes to the Finance game. I've learned more from her blog re: personal finance and she is definitely an inspiration. Thanks to her I have been inspired to take my personal finance goals by the throat, shake them a little and get going on getting my money end of things together. And I also don't feel too guilty when I indulge in some shopping.

4) The Food Diva: Alex Lopez. This gal is a shoo-in for the Next Food Network Star (Food Network - are you listening??). This San Francisco based Chef/caterer/food stylist has such a witty blog and her pictures - di-vine. Reading her blog makes me want to start cooking again (when the humidity clears a bit here in Overly Sunny Florida).

5) You know I'm all about the fashion/beauty side of things - and I must have a fashion blog on the list. So when celebrity stylist Dana Prigge from NYC started her blog, Daily Fashionista, I was curious and it's worked its way onto my "must read" list. Dana's one of those stylists who knows how to get "the look for less" and throws in some great beauty finds as well. Check her out!

Now on to the fun part (and for what someone might want to shoot me for). Let's tag 5 writers of some of my other "daily must reads" and see what they can stir up -

Reese - Reese Rants & Raves;
Michelle -Grown Up Girlie;
Kat - NYKat;
Kalisah - I'm Not My Hair; and
Keri -Keri's Klutter.
