From Our CEO's Desk - post PEPCON5 Bliss

PEP Lovers, we just had our FIFTH PEPCON & the Ladies & I agree: best one to date! As we had not been all together since 2020, we added a day to our conference and ensured we covered every base, from dreaming up new ways to tease & torture you, taking photos to tease & torture you, laughing about how we tease & torture you ... oh, & enjoying a morning at Albuquerque's Botanical Gardens, plus an evening of Chinese take-out & cocktails.

I'm quite the mixologist, & the Ladies all loved what I made so ... if you want to try this at home: mix* rose jelly with raw honey in a bit of seltzer water. Add fresh squeezed lemon & more seltzer water, along with a heavy pour of lavender syrup. This base can be enjoyed alone OR with vodka, gin, or tequila. Ami & I found out it makes a beautiful rose spritzer, too!

*mix to taste, I'm a real cook & mixologist, I don't measure

Lemme back us up to the first night of PEPCON5 ...

The VERY first night of PEPCON5, the Ladies & I met in a private room at the hotel for a catered dinner. I saw Justice in the hallway, Kristyna & Vivian at the hotel bar, & I remarked to each of them, "You look SO pretty!" Justice was wearing a black dress, fishnets, & red heels; Kristyna a stunning newsprint dress; & Vivian a denim jacket with a snug top & short skirt.

Inside our meeting space, I saw Reba in a velour track suit set off w/ bejeweled floral print boots, Nina in a snug faux leather dress, carrying a red exec bag, & Quin & Ami in beautiful, classic outfits - stylish black pants & sweepy, shoulder baring, barely-there tops. Giselle sat cat-o-corner to me as I settled in, & I could not take my eyes off her ... wig. Yes, she was wearing a wig of short, styled jet black hair, along w/ a PEP tank, tight pants, & jeweled flip flops ...

"Do you get it?" Nina asked.

The room tittered.

"I"m going to have to tell her!" Nina declared. "This is your retirement party, we're all dressed like YOU!"

PEP Lovers. The laughter! The joy! The Ladies all noted how I'd commented on how amazing they all looked (which they did!). Everyone should dress like Sera Miles at least once in their lives! I cannot believe we didn't snap any photos - but perhaps the Ladies will don their Sera Miles regalia again, & take shots.

Truly, it was the sweetest way for this Leo to be honored. I never could have guessed that they'd plot behind my back & reflect the best of me back to me! And that wasn't all ... the next day, they had the beautiful flowering bonsai at the top of this post delivered to the office, along w/ wind chimes, which I love. The Ladies thanked me for being "supportive, encouraging, & enthusiastic."

One of the underrated perks of being the Head Bitch in Charge is you get to plan & bestow, but rarely have to receive; receiving love & care can be harder than giving it out. The Leading Ladies of PEP took time out during PEPCON5 to flip that script & let me know how much they appreciate me & ... they took my breath away. My heart is so full.

From my heart to the Ladies of PEP, & our PEP Lovers, our PEP Callers - thank you for making this whole journey spectacular. No one does it like the Ladies of PEP, whether they're putting on a little Sera Miles, or dazzling you w/ their latest looks. Watch for serious photo drops starting in June! Til then, we have so much BEHIND THE SCENES content to share - naughty photos, funny photos, beautiful photos ...

I'll be headlining for 2 weeks in September, PEP Lovers. You heard it here, first. Til then: call our Ladies & find out what happened after hours in the hotel, when the boss was away & the kittens ... the cats ... the panthers & tigers, oh my, did they play! xo - Sera Miles, CEO/ PEP
