If I post a picture of myself wearing a pair of pretty shoes, would you take time out of your busy life to fill out your name and e-mail address in the comment section of my blog and tell me how pretty I am? I’m just asking because I’m jealous.
Don’t get me wrong, I really like the blog Cupcakes and Cashmere. I like it so much I’ve listed it in the links I like section of 3 Stinky Boys and Me. I like it so much I look at it practically every day. I like it so much I’ve even left a comment a time or two, not that the blog needs it.
You see, Cupcakes and Cashmere is a blog about fashion and by fashion I mean what the blogger who writes it says is fashionable. For instance, she’ll buy a cute pair of shoes, post a picture of herself wearing the cute pair of shoes with a caption saying something something like ‘Don’t you LOVE my cute pair of shoes?’ and WHAM: 95 people comment on how much they LOVE her cute pair of shoes.
I’m not even kidding. Two days ago, she posted a picture of herself wearing a sweater dress, lace tights, and a pair of high heel shoes and in less than 24 hours, 83 people commented. Here’s a sample:
Lauren: “I love the shoes! You’re so adorable.”
Kate: “These shoes. Amazing. Seriously. You look stunning.”
Meream: “I love how your hair shines. You always look lovely.”
Niki: “I heart those shoes. You are too cute!”
Heidi: “That last photograph of you is my favorite – you’re so lovely. I can’t tell you how much these photographs remind me of Alice in Wonderland. It’s as if you’re her high-fashion cousin. Gorgeous!”
Chessa: “You look amazing. Everything about this look is fabulous just like you!”
I’m so jealous of Cupcakes and Cashmere! From following her blog, I’ve found out not only do huge designers send her free samples of clothing, shoes, and accessories to keep and blog about, she also gets asked to attend amazing fashion events such as New York Fashion Week, and actually makes money writing her blog.
But what I’m really jealous of: those comments! Those comments! Can you imagine how amazing that must feel to open your e-mail every morning and have 95 people tell you how amazingly beautiful you are, how much they admire your style, and how much they want to be just like you?
I’m sure I’ll be even more jealous of Cupcakes and Cashmere after today, because now after reading my blog I know you’re going to visit her blog to check out all the hub-bub and once you do, I’m sure you’ll leave a comment because that’s the kind of magic cough syrup she serves over there and I swear, if I see one comment from any of my 2 loyal 3 Stinky Boys and Me commenters- one of which is my mom – you 2 are going to be in BIG trouble. BIG!
Don’t make me more jealous than I already am. Don’t do it. I’ll be watching you. I’ll be watching.
P.S. If you think this post is a pathetic plea for comments, you’re right. It is.

Cupcakes and Cashmere who?
Hi, I stopped by and fell in love with your blog, I’ll be back for more
Stalking now but checked it out and you are WAAAAY more interesting. Plus, I despise people who ask questions at the end of a post just to get a comment (“What are your favorite childhood memories?”) Ugh. I’m sure she’s nice and all but I’m not even bookmarking her.
I love your perfectly groomed eyebrows and how the short Audrey Hepburn haircut looks so great on you. I also love that you look adorable and spontaneous with your mouth wide open which I so do not. (how was that?:)
Think of it the other way: she has friends and followers with nothing better to do than comment on her daily dressings and musings. YOUR friends and followers have such full, exciting lives, that they sacrifice time out of their hectic days (saving small children from burning buildings, natch) just so they can read your postings. Making time to comment regularly takes time away from healing the sick and making sandwiches for the homeless.
You are amazing.
Cupcakes and Cashmere you say…hmmmmm….I’ll have to check it out and see how beautiful she is and leave her a comment (ha).
Loved your article, it made me laugh and I know how you feel. Loved Danielle’s comment too.
Ummm, I so don’t love her shoes. But she sure is a pretty girl. Oh wait, maybe I’m missing the point of your post?!?
Good morning. You are beautiful!
