* Did you know that National Watermelon Month is right around the corner in August? Some fun factoids in honor of this fab fruit of summer:

• Proper name: Citrullus Lanatus
• The word WATERMELON first appeared in the English dictionary in 1615
• More than 1,200 varieties are grown in over 96 countries worldwide
• Because WATERMELON is 92% water, early explorers used them as canteens
• By weight, it's the most consumed melon in the US followed, by cantaloupe and honeydew.
• WATERMELON is a popular hostess gift in China & Japan.

And the nitty gritty on the first Bloggers Who Brunch meeting:

• WHEN: Thursday, July 20th, 12-2 pm
• WHERE: Downtown NYC (East Village)
• WHAT: Scrumptious buffet-style spread, the special "Fashion Blogger" cocktail by Bacardi, speakers & of course, networking

• IT'S FREE! Huge, huge thanks to Glam.com - our official sponsor for this event! (We heart Glam!), as well as Bust Magazine & Bacardi.

While brunching & schmoozing is fun, some of the most important raisons d'etre for BWB are:

• to help the blogosphere with issues such as protecting legit bloggers from plagiarizing poachers (who know who they are!)
• help the media & press realize there are plenty of high-quality, legit blogs
• provide a resource for the media seeking experts, stories & quotes
