Skinnygirl Rocks The House Launch Party

    As Bethenny's biggest fan, I felt compelled to attend the Rocks The House event on May 17 in New York City for the launch of the 9 new Skinnygirl Cocktails offerings. I was SO lucky that Skinnygirl Cocktails extended an invitation to me, and being able to go to the event was SO cool!

    Set up like a "house," Drive-In Studios was transformed into designated areas like The Living Room with a DJ for Skinnygirl Cocktails, The Walk-In Closet for Skinnygirl Vodkas with Natural Flavors, and a Backyard party with a swing & fresh-cut flowers to Mix It Up.

    It was such a neat space in Chelsea, and the Skinnygirl team did a wonderful job of creating this exciting environment to celebrate all 12 Skinnygirls.

    For me to be part of this exclusive launch party event was a dream come true and I am continuously amazed at how high-quality the people are that Bethenny chooses to work with!

Died & Went to Skinnygirl Heaven

Was last night for real??! That's all I keep asking myself...

So last night Bethenny visited the Philadelphia Flower Show to debut her newest additions to the Skinnygirl Cocktails line (The Wine Collection, Vodka with Natural Flavors, and Piña Colada).

As part of a special VIP cocktail party, there was an open Skinnygirl bar. I thought I died and went to heaven! A bar stocked with any Skinnygirl Cocktail I wanted?! Heavenly.

So of course I went through all of the new 'girls first, and I have to say I am obsessed with the Skinnygirl Piña Colada! It is so delicious!! I think if you blend it with ice and coconut water it would be perfect and feel more like the real thing. But sooo damn good! Seriously.

Then I tried the Island Coconut vodka and it was pretty good but not as coconutty as I wanted it to be (but I love coconut so maybe it was just me). The next vodka was Bare Naked and it was nice when mixed with berries or a fruit juice. Then I tried Tangerine, which was probably my favorite of the vodkas. It was really a delicious orange flavor. Lastly was the Cucumber vodka; the bartender slapped some fresh mint on it and it tasted so crisp and refreshing. It felt like an invigorating spa drink. Really nice.

Now, let me tell you a-something about Skinnygirl Vodkas - they pack a PUNCH! They are very potent and verrrry delicious!

The Skinnygirl Wine Collection was incredibly tasty, too! I love white wine and Skinnygirl White blend was very refreshing and light. The Rosé was sweet and crisp and I loved that too. I don't even really like Red wine but this blend was so smooth and not too dry.

By the time I tried all of the new Skinnygirl offerings, I was pretty tipsy - woohoo! That's when Bethenny decided to show up. Whoops! Maybe I should have paced myself better?? No big deal, though, because Bethenny was AMAZING to me. Amazing!

First, she took all of these beautiful pictures with us, and then I told her I loved the Skinnygirl Pina Colada. She yelled "me too!" and then did a double-take and was like "Oh my God, nice to see you! It's OhHellYes! Jackie, it's OhHellYes! He deserves his own picture."

I died! I grabbed my iPhone and handed it to Jackie, the assistant, to take our picture. Then, as we're taking the photos, Bethenny asked me if I got a signed bottle. I hadn't, so she yells to Jackie to get me a bottle of a new vodka so she could sign it personally for me. Dead again!

I couldn't even handle what was going on. It was so incredibly sweet of her and so nice of Bethenny to treat me with such kindness and excitement. Such a wonderfully joyful experience... I am so grateful! To have a bottle of Skinnygirl that says 'Oh Hell Yes' and Bethenny's signature on it is something I will cherish forever. So overwhelmed.

The night was full of shenanigans from me and my best friends and seeing Bethenny again and having her recognize me for the lunatic Twitterer I am was so incredible.

EXCLUSIVE: Andy Cohen's Book Cover Revealed!

Most Talkative cover finally revealed!

The hilarious host of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen, is coming out with a memoir entitled Most Talkative: Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture on May 8th.

The title comes from Andy earning this superlative in his high school yearbook - he was voted "most talkative" back in St. Louis. And look where his gift of gab has brought him now!

Our TV screens just wouldn't be the same without the bubbly Bravolebrity five nights a week, and now our bookshelves will be getting an upgrade too!

I love the cover and I think it shows Andy's fun side really well! I love that it looks like it's part of a yearbook, too.

Pre-order Andy Cohen's book now at Amazon.com and look out for in-store signings of Most Talkative starting May 8th!

Pssst... If you haven't already, check out my WWHL audience experience blog below! :)

My 'Watch What Happens Live' Experience!

Last night, Sunday 1/29/12, I was SO lucky to experience

Watch What Happens Live for myself as part of Andy Cohen's

Clubhouse audience.

When we first arrived, we were greeted by a bar and served cocktails immediately - woo to the hoo!

(I had a Skinnygirl Margarita of course! ;o)

The 15-person audience mingled with their drinks while we waited to be brought into the studio Clubhouse for the taping of WWHL.

We walked through a large office space and through a couple corridors and then

- BAM! -

we were in the Clubhouse.

Walking into the Clubhouse was surreal... it looks just like it does on TV except miniature. I was really surprised how small the studio actually is.

There is one taped show a week and I was in the audience for this Tuesday's episode featuring the funny ladies of Saturday Night Live:

Abby Elliott, Nasim Pedrad, and Vanessa Bayer.

The ladies of SNL were very funny. They all played "Plead The Fifth" but their answers weren't that exciting. The game of the night, however, was hilarious and their impersonations were hysterical.

When asked what shows they watched on Bravo, the ladies said

The Real Housewives and I yelled "woooo!"... so listen for that tomorrow night ;) haha

Overall, it really was a delightfully fun experience and the studio was beyond tiny yet, as always, Andy's personality makes the show larger than life.

-----------------------------------------------

How it all happened:

To get the tickets: I kept checking BravoTV.com's WWHL website and, about a week before Andy went five nights a week, there was a link to "Apply For Tickets" and I did immediately. It has since disappeared from the site, though.

To get a picture with Andy: When he came through the audience and introduced himself and told us to have fun, he asked if anyone had any questions. Some people asked a few questions and then there was a lull and I yelled out "Can I take a picture with you!?" He graciously did :)
