I’m still giddy after meeting @beccafrucht almost a week ago! If you never watched Top That! then you missed out. She and her cohost had the best chemistry, and she’s just as funny outside of work. I was so pleased and surprised to meet her at the #YDADbook party! (at YouTube Space LA)

I love your life.
