In the spirit of the holiday season and in the interest of making sure your holiday party is trendy, I’m alerting everyone that after work today, I will be buying a few cocktail dresses.

I’m not being insensitive because of the current economic climate; I’m doing my part to keep the latest trend alive!

I have my media friends to thank for this much needed afternoon of shopping. This certainly explains why I’ve been receiving so many invites when I thought holiday parties were in fact near extinction.

Now don’t panic, there is good news for office managers everywhere. You don’t have to wait until next year to make sure this year’s holiday party is trendy; you can enlist the help of a rental service. You too can have the blacks mingling among your peers, giving your holiday party that Obama-era flava.

And since we all know each other, if you invite one and you ask nicely we may be willing to reach out and see who else will be able to attend. Squeeee! Now if there isn’t an opportunity to have many at your holiday party due to great demand, just try to get one or two to attend that will make a statement. For the love of Anderson Cooper, Nene sure does liven up a party!  But even if Nene doesn’t grace your holiday party, get yourself at least two or three so the weight of the party’s trendiness doesn’t fall on the shoulder of one. Be sure to ask about special recession pricing. And don’t worry if you can’t tell them apart, trust me, they all answer to Heather.

So get your invites in. You can hit me up Twitter style!
