MUA Vent

I know I am posting a lot y'all. This weekend has been a trip altogether. I didn't get to accomplish anything at all. And this was the first weekend where I thought I had the time to do all I could do. Nothing and I mean nothing panned out. Then to add to the madness, I had been going back and forth via email with a possible MUA for my wedding. First off I answered to the ad on Craigslist. We exchanged a plethora of emails. She asked me again in an email today when was my wedding day only to tell me that she is starting a new job in February and she will not be available on the weekends anymore. WTF! What was the purpose of me wasting time with you then if you knew you were not going to be available? Then she was like if you are ever in Wilmington let me know. Another WTF because ummmm duh I live in Charlotte! I have no reason whatsoever to go to Wilmington. That was a waste of damn time. I could have been seeking elsewhere. Ok vent over. *Now back to our regularly scheduled program already in progress*

    Alf, I had started with her and was going back and forth with her because she made everything sound possible. I was concerned at first because she only had caucasian men and women on her site, so I wanted to make sure that she could work with AA women. After she assured me she had worked with women of color and was interested in scheduling a trial makeup run, I was syked. Then she she just sent the email tonight saying she can't do my wedding. WTH! I could have still been looking. I am just a little sensitive because nothing went right this weekend. UGGGGHHHH

    I am so sorry to hear this particular MUA didn't work out for you but I know you will find another MUA that will be able to make you look fabulous before your day actually gets here.

    Hell! I'd be sensitive, salty, and downright snappish! No body like having their time wasted. 'Specially not a bride to be. Like she just figuring out she can't work on weekends. Regroup and get your search on girl! Mmmmmmm...that's me sending vibes!

    Okay, I'm mad about how she wasted precious time in your life also.  But I would like to direct your attention to a website I stumbled upon called www.modelmayhem.com.  It is actually a site where models, makeup artists, photographers and hair stylists come together to network.  But that is how I stumbled upon my makeup artist.  From Model Mayhem, I visited her personal website for more info.  I don't want to see you wasting anymore time on this issue, which should have been a non-issue to begin with.  But I digress...HTH.
