Just in case Vegas doesn’t offer enough sparkles and glitter for your taste, we’ve got you covered this week, folks.

She’s also a 2012 Sponsor of Bloggers in Sin City and is offering a pair of glitter shoes to one lucky winner with today’s raffle! Want to win it? Just make sure you’re following her on Twitter (@purekatherine) and leave a comment letting us know what kind of shoes you’d want to glitter-ify if you won.

Don’t know exactly what you want? That’s okay! If you have an outfit in mind, but need help choosing a color, you can show Katherine what you’re wearing and she’ll help you figure out the right match. (Amazingly helpful, no?)

“Introduce yourself! What are 5 things that everyone going to BiSC should know about you?”

1. Surprise! My attendance this year is a direct result of The Nicole Effect/gentle bullying. That is NOT a bad thing.

2. I just completed my 2nd half marathon with 4 other BiSC-uits! I have 2 more planned for this year, along with some other shorter distance races. I promise I’ll try to refrain from talking about running too much. Maybe. As I type this, I still have limited use of my legs, which always makes me rethink these choices, and then I forget about it a week later and sign up for more races. Feel free to call me crazy—everyone else does!

“Introduce yourself! What are 5 things that everyone going to BiSC should know about you?”

1. I make every attempt to use my sarcasm to its fullest potential.

2. I have an awfully dirty and foul mouth. Seriously, my mom hates that shit.

“Introduce yourself! What are 5 things that everyone going to BiSC should know about you?”

1. I played seven sports as a child, but I’m more klutzy than athletic. I have plenty of scars to prove it. And just in case you’re still doubting me, just watch me on the dance floor.
