(Blogger) Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
I have to say, bloggers get to have the MOST fun of anyone I know. Look at this fabulous party our local T-Mobile store put together for our local group of blogger ladies.
We had all the compulsory elements for a wonderful party - lots of great food, decorations, cute boys in pink Santa hats, and lots of games and fun giveaways, and then mix in our group of fabulous bloggers. I think we all had a great time, especially the 5 people who won free phones! Sadly, I wasn't one of them, but I did come home with some free goodies anyway.
Here I am with my personal "elf" Garrett. Even though this was a fun party, it was also a great chance to learn more about T-Mobile's products and cell phones and tablets in general. Our elves were very knowledgeable, but I was able to share some info they didn't even know. One of my media contacts told me just last week that they are going to be putting ratings on cell phone apps, just like movies, video games, and CD's.
As their holiday gift, here are some tips from T-Mobile.
