A Dream Deferred: I Lost My Invite To The Met Ball...



The Met Ball. Fashion's Oscars. Yours truly had an invite (not really, but I'd like to think that one day I will get my invite via courier...y'all know I have HIGH hopes and a VIVID imagination) and I lost it. Yes, I lost my invite to the Met Ball. Who does that? THIS GIRL! *points to self* So yeah, if y'all remember correctly, last year I had a dream I was there and this year it really happened (in my head of course). I got my invite via courier to the Met Ball. When the courier knocked on my door and handed over the invite I was ecstatic...you would've thought I won Publisher's Clearing House Grand Prize! I stared at the invite for what seemed like hours and then carefully tucked it away in the pile of graduation invites on my countertop, right under Richelle Jones' Texas Southern University Thurgood Marshall Law School invitation (s/o to Richelle a.k.a. Law School...I'm so proud of you)! So yeah, I thought the invite was safe...apparently it was NOT! A few days before the event I went to double check on the invitation and it was gone. Yes lovies, GONE! POOF! VANISH! NO MORE! I was devastated. I tore my whole entire house apart looking for that invite. I searched high and low and no invitation could be found. I couldn't believe I lost it. After I kicked, screamed, cried, passed out I gave up. I lost it, I lost my opportunity to go to the 2012 Met Ball. I guess I'll have to try to get on the list again next year. I guess I'll have to wait one more year to ask Bey how Blue is doing, one more year until I can ask Solange 'Girl, how do you keep that hair lookin so fresh?!' One more year until I can tell Paula Patton 'That's one fine man you've got for a husband...love me some Robin Thicke!' And last but not least, I will have to wait one year to tell Kanye that I'm sorry he got played like the rest of the brothas that dated Kim K. ( I mean seriously y'all?! I love me some Kim K and Kanye, but let's do the math...it's simple: A Diva + A Divo = A NO GO!)

Wish me luck next year, lovies. Until then, enjoy the pics.

Ciao lovies and see ya at the TOP or the Met Ball...whichever comes first!
xoxo
