Filed under Behind The Scenes, People
Here are your top 12! You know judges…they can’t just decide on 10, so we came to common ground on this dozen HAWT legs.
Sometimes it was the pose, sometimes it was the SHOES, sometimes the well defined *please let that be me one day* calves, and sometimes it was *ahem* the tube socks.
But these were the 12 that the judges (Ok, Me, Janine, and Stan from Pacific Shaving Company) agreed were the HAWTEST legs at Blogher 09…and voting starts now and runs through August 7…
Vote for your choice by commenting (here or on the whrrl story) for the legs you love the most.
One Grand Prize Winner will receive a Pacific Shaving Company gift package including one (1) 2-oz. bottle of All Natural Shaving Oil (will last up to a year!), one (1) Nick Stick, and a fancy-schmancy winner button to proudly display on their blog.
Two Runners-Up will receive a 1/2 oz. bottle of All Natural Shaving Oil and a not-quite-as-fancy button to display on their blog.

Why legs?
Our BlogHer sponsor, Pacific Shaving Company, has an All Natural Shaving Oil that stands up to stubble. Men have known about it for a while now but we wanted the women of BlogHer to know that it works wonders on legs, bikini, underarms, and anywhere you’ve been nicked! This contest is just one way we can spread the word that every woman can have beautiful legs with Pacific Shaving Company products.

How to get a sponsor for Blogher when you don’t even have a ticket…

Um…
Yes, we are good. If there was ever a reason to follow the BTSMoms, this is it!
No conference pass to Blogher, HOW SAD…when they sold out, we were, well….we were deciding if we wanted to go or not. Janine and I had met at Blissdom 09 and as roomies there, we quickly became “roomies for life”. When the idea kicked in, and we had a hotel room and a bunch of ideas on how to promote a brand, we decided we needed a way to pay for it. Who needs passes; we have a room and a bunch of light bulbs going off in our heads!!
Let’s face it. We may run Buzz Cooperative now, but Janine and I have always felt more like Frick and Frack. Except that now Frick and Frack are armed with unique ideas and, for lack of a better word, ‘BALLS’ (direct quote from an instant message discussion we had)! And that’s when Stan came into the picture. We started putting the word out about some of our “totally effing innovative” ideas (again, I quote Janine from her amped up IMs) and Stan was all over it like my dog on his ‘special’ hump toy.
Through a series of humorous emails, hilarious brainstorming sessions and, to be perfectly honest a little bit of begging (shhh – Janine think she played hardball), Stan “got” the genius of the BTSMoms and how we’ll promote his All Natural Shaving Oil to everyone inside AND OUTSIDE the conference. He simply couldn’t resist forking over some moolah to defray our costs so we could play in Chi-town for a few days. (Yay Pacific Shaving Company!)
YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS OUT ON WHAT WE HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU!!!
Live Shaving events? Oh yea…and we’re not just talking legs… (chins, arms, get your mind out of the gutter)
Definitely make sure you enter the Best Legs contest…
