This is my sentiment exactly. I want to be succesful and famous so unfortunately people are going to hate. Yes, I dress uniquely. Yes, I have awesome friends who promote me. Yes, I have a beautiful daughter. Yes, I have glam friends who hook me up with free designer duds. So why all the hate?

I guess people are jealous… who knows because I have never hated anyone as much as some people seem to hate me. The funny thing is usually when people hate on me they later copy me.

In Kansas, people made fun of me for wearing Betsey Johnson. Now, when I look at their facebook pictures 15 years later they are wearing Betsey Johnson. I have a fab Marc Jacobs diaper bag with panthers on it. In baby class, a mom complained to the teacher saying my bag was too violent. I wanted to yell at her but ignored her instead. The next week, she came to mom class with the same diaper bag as me. I was floored.

So, if you get picked on I would love to tell you it stops but actually it doesn’t …unless you change yourself and become a societal robot. The only thing that changes is you learn how to handle it.

My daughter’s babysitter introduced me to Katt Williams. He has a lot to say about haters. Warning these videos use bad words and are not suitable for children but they are fun for adults.

Stay Glamorous,
