Bubble bath and Edgy Moms

As part of this sexy mamas blog, Babeland sent me some products (and I have some to give away!) including  Evening Rapture Bubble Bath.  Now I know they meant this as a way to get me in the mood with my partner, but I confess...I ran out of Johnson and Johnson's so I used the Babeland product for Felix.  I got in too, to make me feel less guilty about sharing something that was supposed to be just for grown ups.

He proclaimed it "excellent...lots of bubbles....we can make bubble sculptures mommy!"  And so we did.  We both smelled nice afterwards and our skin was not dried out.

I did the Edgy Moms reading at the Montauk Club in Brooklyn tonight.  The packed audience went from raucous laughter to teary silence; Amy Sohn and Louise Crawford organized a super event.  I read an awfully randy scene from BabyLove, Amy read a funny essay about a 2's programs application and competitive motherhood; and Louise told a story about watching her son perform at Bowery Poetry Club.  Also on the bill was Amy Benfer, who I loved.  She read a very moving account of her teen aged pregnancy, and her 18 year old daughter was there too.  Also: Michele Madigan Somerville, who has ensured that I will never look at Elmo the same way again; Lenore Skenazy, who controversially let her 9 year old son take the subway by himself (I'm planning on letting Felix start when he's 7); Sophia Romero the Shiksa from Manila; and Louise Sloan, who hilariously told a tale from her book Knock Yourself Up.  It was a wonderful evening and I was thrilled to be a part of it.  Claire Cavanagh was in attendance as well, getting ready to open a new Babeland store in Park Slope.  Hmmm...perhaps call it the Horny Mom store?
