It's 2009 and things are way not what they used to be. I work in a casual business environment, but my boss told me if guys can expose their ink so can I. I just keep getting more and more too! You gotta do what you gotta do though. P.S. That green dress was way cute! I would have felt very uncomfortable as well if they made me cover up my tats.

I have to say that our conversation about cupcakes and pastries on the plane ride made me think of getting into the food world sooner than later. What can I say...you inspired me. Good luck and can't wait to check out all the places in Chicago you recommended. PS-I ran into Giada DeLaurentiis' husband in the Las Vegas airport...maybe I need to travel more often to get in with the Food Network. What next...being in the airport bathroom stall next to the Barefoot Contessa. I wish! Ha! Take care! Natalie-

And I'd be proud to wear that fabulous green dress over and over again - but I get your point. I envy your 20 something cupcake tastings :O) You are funny.

I hate worrying about first impressions. You are charming and cute, so I'm sure they looked past the sweaty 3 day dress. Hopefully you used good deoderant!

I love it! I definitely know the feeling of feeling gross & "not cute," though, and it's a shame you sort of didn't feel like yourself! At least you had a fun time for the most part - what a wonderful, fun opportunity! For what it’s worth, you look totally adorable in that green & black dress. I love it!

I just wanted to comment that despite feeling uncomfortable and weird (partly because I wore the same dress three days in a row and partly because I didn't understand why Dave's tattoos were OK and mine weren't) I had a ton of fun. I don't want anyone to get the idea that anyone on set was at fault - or Food Network for that matter. I think it was preventative measures. Anyway, I'm uber thankful for the opportunity in the first place and I can't even explain what an exciting week it was for me. Lots of people have commented that they're sorry I didn't enjoy myself - I totally enjoyed myself! Just in a sweaty dress and kind of alone. And I can't believe I didn't blog the fact that I was the only vegetarian on set! The girl from Chicago is the only veggie on an LA set? What the what? I'm going to stick this in the blog, I think, in case anyone misses it here. Hey again!
