I’m so excited! Daphne Brogdon – 7/24 12:30pm central
I think of good blogs to write but I don’t have the time and I’m too tired. Ah, the irony of mom blogging. ~ Daphne Brogdon
Kudos to the Blogosphere during BlogHer week continues on Friday, July 24 at 12:30pm Central, when Daphne Brogdon joins Solessence Radio. Daphne is co-host of TV Guide Network’s The Fashion Team, with Lawrence Zarian.
She’s also a very funny comedian, and one of the original mommy bloggers. Author of CoolMom , Daphne vlogs and posts on marriage (to renown chef Mark Peel), pregnancy, dynamics of a second child, feeling out of shape, family vacays and the very revealing and heart wrenching personal loss of their savings and retirement from the Madoff scandal. While she is a blast on her TV show, she especially shines in her writing. Women seem to bond with her. Men declare her MILFy.
This interview will be taking place during BlogHer conference. If you aren’t able to catch it live, we’ll have transcripts and downloads available later.
Have a question to ask her? Please feel free to post or email to solessencenews AT gmail DOT com.

Daphne’s Bio:
Daphne Brogdon is a comic and a TV host. Daphne used to go anywhere for a job, but now that she is a mom she is glad to have a gig close to home. She is a host of TV Guide Channel’s weekly series, The Fashion Team, a fun romp through celebrity fashion. In her segment, “Fashion Mommy Must Haves,” she focuses on fashion stories that relate to the mom perspective. She also makes fun of how famous people dress every week in Star Magazine’s “Worst of the Week.” Daphne is a somewhat regular contributor to CNN Headline’s Showbiz Tonight, a contributor to Pregnancy Magazine, and the host of FOX’s web show 24 Inside. She’s also been seen on Dr. Phil and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
An improviser, Daphne’s shtick used to involve dating advice from a woman’s perspective, because prior to marriage, she dated a lot. She has appeared on “The X-Show” where for a time she was the only female late-night host on television. She has also hosted the controversial dating reality show “Playing it Straight,” on FOX.
As a stand-up comic, she has performed at the Riviera Comedy Club in Las Vegas, the Improv in Hollywood, the Comedy Store in Hollywood as well as synagogues and weddings, countless laundromats, dive bars, and rooms she wasn’t sure what they were, but there was a mic.
Daphne is from Culver City, CA where her father John Carl’s foray into local politics (Mayor pro tem of Culver City) gave her an interest in politics early on. Another part of her act now is her family. Daphne is married to Mark Peel, Executive Chef and owner of Campanile Restaurant and co-founder of La Brea Bakery. They have a toddler, Vivien, an infant son Rex, and Mark has three children of his own. They reside in Los Angeles.
