Sparklecorn 2012: Sparkling The Night Away


IMG 1369 small1 Sparklecorn 2012: Sparkling The Night Away
This is our fourth year throwing Sparklecorn at BlogHer, and even after all that time we’re still shocked and amazed when we finally see the photographer’s photos from the evening. Every single person in each and every photo—whether they’re pictured dancing, mugging for the camera, or engaged in vry vry imprtnt socializing bidness— radiates such joyous abandon and ecstatic happiness that it seems almost unreal to us that we get the honor of hosting such a fabulous shindig every year.

But Sparklecorn isn’t about us. It isn’t about MamaPop, or BlogHer, or any other single individual or group or website. It’s about you, the people who set that shit off and made balloon unicorn horns and sparkly ear-of-corn costumes (YESSSS!), who shoved your faces full of cake and Glitter Bombs and danced until your feet were sore and blistered. YOU are Sparklecorn. And we’re so glad you came.

Thanks to the lovely and talented Kate Inglis—the brilliant eye that snapped these amazing photos. And, as always, many thanks to the beautiful and talented ladies of BlogHer, without whom none of this would be possible!

    YES. You caught Doug trying to teach me to ballroom dance, and me failing miserably. :)

    Hey and you caught a snapshot of the mustachioed (and dapper if I do say so myself) unicorn bandit/assassin and his sparkly accomplice! Those were terrible disguises!

      You were FUCKING dapper, don’t sell yourself short, dude.

    • SuzyQuzey

      You two are crazy cute.

  • Tasterspoon

    Wow. You ARE all beautiful. Maybe if this ever comes back to the West Coast I could go. Even if I ended up just clinging to the wall all intimidated-like.
    I guess first order of business for going to BlogHer would have to be having an active blog, eh? Rather than being the comment-section barnacle I am now.

      Nah! I actually met a ton of people this year who don’t blog or haven’t updated their blogs in ages. Lots of folks who mostly use Twitter or Pinterest and such. And Mamapop’s own OG commenter Suzy Q came! Which was awesome.

      • SuzyQuzey

        Yes! I was there! You do not have to have a blog. You WILL have fun and meets lots of new people.

    Did I miss a picture of Leila’s sparkly corn suit? I was dying to see how a picture of it would have turned out lol

    How did so many women still have perfect hair? Clearly they weren’t dancing enough.
