It’s about time HGTV smartened up and figured out that the people who hang out at Nesting Place are the smartest, designyest, funniest, brilliantest, wittiest, most beautiful people on God’s green earth. And we are, aren’t we what with our hot glued mistreated fabrics, our Goodwill coffee tables and our embracing of all things imperfect?
Anyway, they like us so much, that they’ve invited us to join them this Sunday for a party. Not only that, it’s the perfect kind of party for ordinary hermits like myself, you don’t even have to get dressed. You don’t even have to talk. At least not out loud.
HGTV has invited the Nesting Place community to this Sunday’s Design Star Twitter Party. You have been watching Design Star right? You do know who Nina and Dan and Tom and Michael are, right? If not, no worries, you can catch up on all the past episodes here or you can just watch it this Sunday and tweet along with us.
Heather Armstrong, from Dooce, and I will be hosting the party. Lucky for me that role doesn’t entail standing at the door making small talk. I’m really bad at that. Plus, I would probably be staring at Heather’s hair the whole time wishing mine were short and sassy and blonde. So instead, let’s all meet on twitter Sunday night at 9:55 EST. We’ll watch Design Star and we’ll all put the hashtag designstar {#designstar} in our tweets so we can find each other. And because I am helpless and cannot do anything without my bloggy BFF I’ve already made Melissa promise she’ll hang out with us too.
Here’s one of my favorite tweets from Heather from the twitter party a few weeks ago…see the #designstar? that makes her part of the party. Simple.
So, on your tweet deck or wherever you do twitter, search for #designstar to follow along in the conversation, and please, PLEASE will you consider joining in? I really want my friends at the party with me. Plus HGTV is giving away a prize pack to one lucky tweeter who tweets during the show. I’ll pick the tweet and tweeter using my very sophisticated method. Best tweet gets a prize.
Here are some of the people you might want to follow on twitter but it’s purely optional:
Judges:
Vern : help, I thought I had found him?
Candice: too much sense to use twitter
Contestants on twitter some are already gone::
Tera {she was my favorite but, she’s already been booted}
Now that I”ve done all that, it would probably be easier for you to just go directly to the HGTV list for Design Stars and follow people from there.
Also, I have been really horrible about following people back on twitter who follow me. About a year ago my email inbox was so deep that I had all my twitter emails auto filed so I wouldn’t have to open them each time they came in my inbox. My goal was to go through them every other day or so and follow people back. However, mostly I just forgot to ever check it. If you would like me to follow you, would you send me a tweet on twitter? Just include @thenester in your tweet and I will follow you post haste, I really want to follow you.
Seriously, you want to follow me because the information I share on twitter is no less than riveting, life changing, Nobel Peace Prize worthy. As you can see I have a unique perspective and genius that cannot be equalled. “I would use old fashioned soap and water” write that down people, it’s gold. And believe you me, there’s a lot more where that came from.

PS, I still think my youngest looks like the first Design Star winner David Bromstead {@bromco : thanks HGTV Jen, try not to blush when you see his avatar photo}
