The other day I was surfing around on my Facebook page — not as though I don’t do this enough, cause lately it seems that everyone is on Facebook. In fact even my family now is on there.

I can’t believe I missed it, (the invite not the conference.) So from what I can gather, it seems that the creator of the page is asking for input as to whether we should have a nail competition judging conference?
