I am a huge dork and I pretty much always have been. Maybe thats the reason why I’ve always had a hard time making girlfriend. People assume that I’m cool and then I open my mouth, awkwardness ensues and its over lol. I seem to have the same experience over and over again living and working in LA amongst digital influencers and industry people… which honestly tends to leave me feeling like I don’t quite fit (probably because I don’t). But this is why I love the internet! It is a place where dorky awkward girls like me, who really just want to have fun, go to Disneyland and eat cotton candy, can meet other people with a similar outlook on life. This becomes more frequent if you target the right audience with the help of programs like Kenji!
Thats exactly what happened last Wednesday. I took my Instagram relationship with Izzy (@Izzy_Jacqueline ) to the next level and started texting. We’d been having all of these near misses IRL at various events, so I thought… Hey, we obviously like the same stuff, lets hang out on purpose. She then informed me that her and some other girls from Insta were all meeting at Disneyland and invited me to join!
I was a little apprehensive. I mean people are weird… I’m weird… drop all that weirdness off in the middle Disneyland and who knows what could happen. To balance out my dorkiness, I invited my friend (and Studio Mucci photographer) Lauren to come along. Lauren and I also needed to meet up to work on a project so it all kind of came together perfectly.
Despite my initial anxiety, we all seemed to get on immediately. Everyone was just so sweet!
(I posted this to snapchat moments after Lauren and I joined the group)
And then we took like a million photos which was pretty fun! My husband is a great sport and will tolerate my incessant photo taking, but these girls were just like me… all about getting the shot!
We had so much fun! I totally felt like I was hanging out with girls I’ve known for years! And on the car ride home I found out that every single one of these adorable, fun, interesting women that I’d been having a ball with all day were loyal Studio Mucci customers (which made me a little emotional)! Needless to say, we’ve already made plans to do more fun things together. Follow along with our adventures on Instagram under #DREAMYGIRLGANG (cute name right?) We took some great instagram pictures and my friend decided to buy real Instagram likes so her pictures got noticed a little more.
The moral of the story here is… YES! It is a good idea to make friends on the internet. I mean I kind of knew this already (I met my husband online over 10 years ago). I have honestly made so many amazing friends online from all over the world and if geography wasn’t a factor my girl gang would be even bigger!

Oh my gosh! This looks like so much fun! I tend to be really shy and can be really akward because of that, but I’ve met many brilliant people online cause it’s a little easier to start up a convo that way. Everyone looks so amazing and guh, Disneyland looks pretty great, and honestly seems to be THE BEST place for blog photos! Those David Bowie ears are EVERYTHING! Off to check all these ladies out on insta!
