The minute I walked into the reception at blogher tonight, Susan Getgood came up to me and said "Don't photograph my shoes. " Several other women came up to me and told me not take photos because they forgot to get pedicures! They remembered the shoe blogging from last year's conference. These aren't the good ones.
