I'm so happy it's finally the weekend. Saturday I'm helping my Mommy give a shower for my little sis. She recently adopted two kids Hunter 9 and Patience 7. They are awesome! Patience and I are thick as thieves already! My mom had the brilliant idea of giving my sis Mimi (that's what I call her, her real name is Mandy)a baby shower. So cute!
In other news, you know I've been planning the Gypsy Queens booth at Big daddy's Tattoo and Bike expo for awhile now. It's my first real event as a Gypsy Queen. I had expected more help from our chapter head (we'll call her PRINCESS to preserve her anonymity) as far as organisation and general "this is how we run a booth" kinda advise. I havn't gotton much. She told me that she would round up girls to work the booth. This is a three day event and she sent me a list of four girls including herself. This week, she sent me a message letting me know that two of the girls cancelled and she couldn't make it on Saturday, the busiest day, because she is in a wedding and the date got moved up. Who moves UP the date of a wedding? Anyway, I have been trying to be as pleasing as possible, being a newby and all so I said I would keep trying to get more Gypsy Queens out to work the booth and set about the rest of the week messaging and begging people to come work with me.I made some headway and got a few girls to come at least one day each and met some great people in the process! Today I get a response to the message from earlier this week about finding girls myself:
"I think we'll have it under control..Please do not just ask anyone....I had specific people in mind that I already know to be responsible...and presenting a positive image of a tattooed lady...everyone's welcome to attend...but you can't have too many girls working a booth at once..it becomes chaos....I've experienced at many out of state events.....it will be more informative letting folks know what we're about....I'm also going to make some GQ inspired hair flowers and bows for the event.....sell them.....and at a discount to GQs.....
Wow, really princess?! You got this under control all of a sudden? I am the one who responded to the hosts of the expo, I'm the one who came up with the idea of working for a charity, I'm the one who contacted that charity AND I'm paying for the booth. I've kept in contact with everyone involved and intend to work EVERY hour of the event! I found a photographer that will work for free. I've spread the word. I'll be the one paying for flyers and now it looks like I'll be the one paying for booth decorations and painting the Gypsy Queens banner as well.The minute it looks like princess is gonna flake (AGAIN cuz trust me this isn't the first flake/no show/ oops I forgot to let you know etc situation princess has been in) I take control and do what needs to be done, I've overstepped. I hate that feeling, like it's ok for me to do all of the above but when princess has a moment to deal with it I better scurry back under the rug and just make her look good. I know I'm venting, but it's very frustrating. I've put alot of time and money into this and want it to go well. I don't want the day to come around and be unprepared and also left holding the bag, along with the blame.
I'm just not really sure how to respond so I'm waiting a bit until I calm down.
I really like the message that Gypsy Queens is SUPPOSED to be spreading and was thrilled when I was accepted. I still love the idea of being a GQ, but I don't want to get disillusioned. I guess I'll just keep at it.
Well, maybe just one more thing..
I got a message that all Gypsy Queens are required to post the following bullitin on crackspace every three days:
Read the following and tell me how fair is it that I HAVE to repost it every three days as a Gypsy Queen when I don't even qualify to enter?! (see must be athletic to slender build and lots of ink)
It makes me want to cry.
