No way! That is so tasteless and unprofessional. They are in "PUBLIC RELATIONS" and they didn't think that would be offensive? Good for you calling them on it. Not cool.

It's more than a bit clueless, isn't it?

bwahahahaha.....you tell 'em! that is just classless, why would you blog about parties FOR FREE that you weren't even invited to? To promote THEM?? What is in that for you, I might ask? Wow

Almost as bad a company that I had contact me out of the blue to feature their products on my blog, so I said sure, send me some so that I can check them out and give a review or sponsor a giveaway...their answer? Buy some and then review/promote it on the blog. UM....WHAT DO I GET OUT OF THAT? eff off

It's thoughtless, and it doesn't make sense: how could you write about an event you didn't attend? Did I miss something?

That is not only pathetic but down right rude. I honestly don't know how these people could possibly think you would do that let alone respond in a polite fashion! My scathing e-mails in response would probably make ears burn, so I credit you for being so even-tempered about it. Sheesh the nerve of some people.

Heheh, absolutely ridiculous! x

I got asked to do this last week, I wasn't even sure how to respond in a polite way. Here's me worrying about offending them when really the request was downright rude in itself :/

I'd just like to say that I LOVE reading about your rant-worthy experiences. What a bunch of imbeciles!

Cheeky isn't the word I was thinking. Honestly what do good manners cost these days? What goes around, comes around is all I say.

too funny!
why don't you write about their parties, in a really tongue in cheek fashion, ensuring that you continuously criticise and pick apart the clothing, makeup on the guests attending, products themselves, launch party and anything else you can think of - of course adding that this is just your perspective based on photos sent to you, and has no reality based in fact BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T THERE SO CAN'T HAVE A MORE ACCURATE OPINION!
