			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>I don&#8217;t mean to brag but, I got invited to a ultra fancy fashion show while we are in New York.  </p>
<p>Then I got uninvited.  </p>
<p>Technically, I didn&#8217;t even really get invited because the only thing that was in the body of the email was this:  H. L (STL-WSW) would like to recall the message, &#8220;Style &#8216;N Smile &#8211; Back-To-School Fashion Show with Jennie Garth Aug. 5&#8243;</p>
<p>End transmission.   Quite frankly, I&#8217;m just assuming that this is a Blogher event because of the date.  But yeah, it was RECALLED.  From MY email inbox.</p>
<p>See, I&#8217;m more specialer than you.</p>
<p>I can brag about the parties I got uninvited from.</p>
<p>All those bloggers who are tweeting and facebooking about the plethora of private shin-dig invites that big brands have wooed them to, FEH!  You have nothing on me.  Although, it is kind of depressing that no one loves me as much as they love you.  BUT&#8230;</p>
<p>I have better hair than you.  MWAHAHAHA!!</p>
<p>While I&#8217;m on the subject&#8230;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about any of you but I&#8217;m kind of getting sick of the whole private party at Blogher thing.  It&#8217;s SO high school/college.  OVER IT.   And yay for those who got invited into the sorority!  Awesome, you should be proud of yourselves.  It&#8217;s QUITE the accomplishment. (no, no sour grapes&#8230;at all!)  Really, I think it&#8217;s cool.  But I&#8217;m tired of all of us bloggers that aren&#8217;t popular being made to feel Unintentionally?  (Or not)  Like insecure shit.  This is what I really am not digging about Blogher.  The whole popularity contest.  I turn my nose up at it.</p>
<p>I was never a conformist anyway.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a proud, lone soldier.  Waving my flag of rejection.  If you want me, you can find me at the Hilton&#8217;s bar, nursing my poor ego on a Lemon Drop Martini, wearing one of my super cute dresses paired with Croc Flip Flops on August 5th.  And probably the other couple of nights too.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m having my own private party.  And EVERYONE is invited.<br />
<strong>UPDATE</strong><br />
This evening I received an email from the lady who &#8220;recalled&#8221; the invite.  Apparently, there was a &#8220;glitch&#8221; in their system and she apologized for the misunderstanding.  I guess I had been invited to this event&#8230;although I never received an invitation&#8230;and the offer is still open.  I don&#8217;t know the details but I am looking forward to finding out what they are!!  I SO appreciate this lovely lady putting herself out there and contacting me!  I can&#8217;t even tell you how much better I feel!</p>
<p>BUT&#8230;I still am not a huge fan of the private parties.  Too many people are left out!!  Like my mom used to say in regards to something or another that I can&#8217;t remember&#8230;It&#8217;s all or none.  I get the fact that there are a ton of bloggers going to this conference though.  Rock and hard place.  Hmmm&#8230;</p>
