Ouch!
by Kym on September 25, 2008
Okay, so I know I whinge and whine about my abysmal self-confidence level far too often here (point made Kim, time to move on already), but really, a Daily Makeover newsletter? That’s a bit malicious, isn’t it? Even giving the benefit of the doubt here and assuming you were attempting to do me a favour, it was a bit heavy handed of you. You really think fashion tips from this year’s Emmy award winners are going to fix me?
Tsk.
The nerve of you.
I don’t know who signed me up but you are so getting a lump of coal in your stocking this year.
Hmph.

Fashion tips may stress you out more than help. I would never want tips from the Emmy’s. Yowser. So funny Kim.

Love your new digs!!
I could easily give out tips on the Emmy’s.
Rule #1, never wear your swan outfit after labor day…..

I think I got the same email in my spam folder… I wonder who the mysterious person is who feels the need to sign strangers up for the newsletter?

I think I will need a lot more than a newsletter :) !!

‘Tweren’t me! If anything, *I’M* the one who needs the newsletter . . . unsoclicited as it may be.

I’m with OM–I’m so fashion inept that I’d need a lot more than a stupid newsletter.

Haha! I promise it wasn’t me, but that was one of my favorite pranks in junior high! We signed up a news anchorman for the World of Beauty Kit and thought we were so hilarious! :)

I always tell Billy he needs to sign me up for “What Not To Wear!” He won’t do it. Perhaps if I tromped around in my pajamas all day, he would…

I admit it.
I just thought you’d enjoy some fresh fashion tips.
Can I get a gallon of gas instead of the coal, though?

That’s no fun. But it wasn’t me, so no coal, k?

It could be worse. Some disgruntled employee of Greg’s used to have Rogaine brochures sent to Greg at work all the time.
Before he embraced the shaved head, that is.
It took the fun right out of it.

Ha-ha-ha! Whoever it was that signed you up had pretty good intentions but just misguided. Good for a laugh though!

Uh, not that I’ve seen the newsletter but how on earth are a bunch of pictures of women in frou-frou gowns going to help me? I mean, I guess I could start rocking silver satin to help with reading groups, but….what I really need is tips on how to make it look chic and intentional when I have a smudge of Gerber sweet potatoes on my white tee. Maybe I should start with don’t wear white tees when you have a baby. Hm.

He, he! Nothing like fashion tips from the stars to solve that self-esteem issue, eh?

The whole Emmy Fashion thing just makes so much sense, because after all – don’t we all dress like that ALL the time? Every single day I just try to decide which formal-reveal-wear I should choose out of my closet. It MUST have either sequins or feathers, or it just. won’t. do.
You tell ‘em – what a stupid idea!! Especially since so many people obviously love you – EVEN without the sequins:)

Oh yes! fashion advice from people who looked like they’ve been starved in concentration camps is always helpful for one’s self image!

I’m just laughing at the comments. And no, fashion tips from the Emmy’s isn’t going to help anyone, since we, none of us, look like that.

I’m standing here in my designer gown wondering why you don’t love this newsletter?
by Heather of the EO on September 26, 2008 at 8:03 am. #
Huh? What am I missing here? A link? An email? Or is it just that I don’t know what “fashion” may mean? Where am I? Has anyone seen my head?

Wuznt me.

silly girl. You signed yourself up for the daily makeover newsletter ages and ages ago, when you were playing with that make-up and clothing internet paperdoll thing…. (I only remember because I suddenly received a newsletter from them too :P)
Also… this post showed up in my feed reader *today* – weird.

wow. well remembered, jo!
that jo. what *can’t* she do?
so thankfully, now that jo remembered, you can do a little self-punishing, yes? only don’t, because my day was made by you this weekend with a little parcel! that deserves some non-punishment!!!
