The Bomb Life 101: Don’t be a Sore Loser

You guys are having a rare twofer today. Lap it up!
But I’m writing to offer a little nugget: Don’t be a sore loser.
I type this on the heels of getting another rejection. Long story short, I REALLY wanted to secure this one panelist for Cocktails with Claire x Miss Diddy Chicago. Prayed on it, told everyone about it. And just like that, her publicist dashed all hopes of an appearance with a curt, emotionless e-mail, which didn’t seem to give any thought or feeling to the request. It was just like. No b*tch. The answer is NO. And hey, f*ck you too (I’m exaggerating, but it felt harsh lol).

My first response was to cry. Get upset. But there is always someone else who would be just as great and happy to participate on top of that.

I’m a spoiled brat. I like to get my way. And perhaps it’s this desire to have things go my way, no matter what, which has led me to get this far. I go for what I want. I interpret a ‘no’ as…let me ask someone else until I get a yes. But when you reach a dead end and a no is a no, just take it like a champ and climb over that brick wall, or turn around and start again.

Rejection is a common theme in life. We all experience it in some way. Resist the urge to throw a tantrum. Stay down for two seconds and then re strategize!
That said, we will be announcing panelists and more details for Cocktails with Claire Chicago, Atlanta, and LA in a few days! Hope to see you there.
And just know, we are werking HARD behind the scenes to create something special for you. Hope you enjoy the final result!

Love + Light!
*I was digging through pix to see which ones I haven’t yet posted to the site! For the ensemble by the bridge, I’m wearing a GLish mirrored top, Victoria’s Secret pencil skirt, and Casadei silver pumps. For the gray and black, my ensemble is by Cushnie et Ochs.
