As you can guess from the fact that we're still posting instead of primping, we didn't get invited to the H&M opening party. Sure, we're a little bit pissed, but we felt a lot better once we realized that all of the seriously cool people we know hadn't gotten invited, either. Soon, these invitations took on a mythical proportion in our minds, somewhere between Moby Dick and all that money MicroSoft's gonna send us.
So, we were sitting here stewing and considering posting their PR rep's cell phone numbers on casual encounters (just kidding, all PR people who read SFist and want to give us products, comps, or access to celebrities!), when this winning women seeking women ad caught our eye:
Tell me why I should take you to the H&M Opening PartyI am an attractive Asian, 30 year old professional looking to meet someone new, have fun and connect.
I have a plus one invitation to the Grand Opening Party for the new H&M store opening this weekend and am looking to take someone who is fun, attractive, personable, outgoing, somewhat sophisticated and grounded.
The party consists of shopping the store with everything 25% off, cocktails and appetizers and DJs. Be ready to do a little shopping, have fun and meet people as I will be attending with other friends also.
The party is this Thursday, November 18th from 8pm-11pm.
Please tell me a bit about yourself and why I should take you to this invitation only opportunity. Photos encouraged.
Well, crap. If only we had a better digital picture we could send, we might have had a golden opportunity to hang out with this charming woman who expects a photo of us, yet has to resort to online advertising to find someone to join her at the hottest ticket in town.
If this ad is any indication of the crowd at the party, a night at home is looking a lot more attractive. Or maybe we're bitter at not being invited -- sure, that's not untrue. Oh, well, guess we'll sack up and hit the store with the little people, and see how the other half lives. What's on TV tonight?
