 About MeI grew up on the East coast, got myself educated in the Midwest, and then came all the way West, 8 years ago to fulfill my destiny in the Splendora dynasty. I am all about the fun times. Cooking, eating, trolling flea markets, and dancing rank amongst my most favorite activities. No joke - if I like you, I will make you a banana bread or do a dance routine for you...just to see you smile. I gots me a fabulous family, Splendora sisters, and an assortment of friends that I love to squeeze. I am an auntie to 3 petite peanuts (4 if you count office baby, Hersch) whom I love and adore with all of my heart. Life is sweet people, life is sweet.

Farewell My Sweet EIC
Karen O Karen! We will never ever be able to replace your star quality and high kicks. You will always be Splendora's original gangsta. Like the first cast of Saturday Night Live, it won't be the same here without you but I think if you install a camera on your laptop and we install a camera here at HQ, we'll be able to pretend like we still work in the same office. It's impossible to thank you properly for your wit, words, soul, and friendship over the last 6-1/2 years. You will forever have a special place in my heart and on the Splendora wall of fame. We love you truly and we're looking forward to watching your star rise and for the world to learn the name Karen Bard, Pop Culture Expert.

Love the Changes to the site
Okay seriously when the site was down yesterday I was convulsing and breaking out into hives, my addiction has become extreme. I didn't think you could improve on perfection...but I was wrong I love EVERYTHING about the site. Good work!

This new profile picture
Is my fav. It is real. LOVE IT! Maybe i secretly like it, because way to often I take pictures with stuff in my teeth, toilet paper on my shoes, or my skirt tucked into my underware. Oh well! Anyways, I finally got a new camera (last one was stolen in a robbery . ..oh i love baltimore)so get ready for some great photos!

Hey Superstar
Are you still in the City? Lemme know about your shoot!
08:35 AM
Fantastic!
I had no idea there were more people like me out there.. though i wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy..
I remember seeing a girl i went to HS with had all these red patches on her body and thinking i'm sooo glad that isnt me... then a year later.. i got them.
It's a miserable disease.. and I've invested in so many tanning packages, acrylic nails and lotions over the years.. Thanks for the support! <3

hi!
hi karen...i always enjoy your posts, and particularly remember when you wrote about your hair extensions, because i went and had them put in shortly after reading about you. i think the extensions lasted 2 months - they hurt!!!
anyway, i think we may have met...i own Faire Frou Frou boutique in LA, and i could swear you came by with amy. maybe i'm completely wrong!!!
okay, just wanted to say a quick hi, and keep rockin' with the posts - you show a lot of personality in your writing.

Re: Love the posts!
Thanks Karen! I can't wait!
I see one of your style icons is Carolyn Bessette. She was a classy lady and you've definitely got her look in that first photo of yours.

Hey karen- long time!
guess what? I recently changed jobs (bye bye KFOG!) and now I am in your building- saw the splendora sign the other day! Up at PRN on the 4th floor. We'll have to do lunch soon.
