Another Lousy X’mas Party
This year’s X’mas party’s theme was “Bling-Bling”…
As usual, I tried to put effort to dress in theme. Not trying to win anything, but to support the organizer. I did this every year and won a couple of best dressed according to theme.
Last year’s “Seductive Christmas Party” was a disaster for me, coz they ended up very cheapskate doing those sexy pole dance thingy, which I refused and walked out of it.
Unlike previous years, beginning last year the organizers would select a few nominees and then insult these people on stage, before awarding the best dressed award. Last year, I accepted the outcome as the theme was “seductive” and I wasn’t seductive (if the definition is to be able to make sexy seductive pole dance or revealing more ‘meat’).
But this year, it was completely a turn off. I actually have a workshop that day and went straight to the party after the workshop. I thought this is an easy theme and everyone would be wearing their bling-bling stuff, but turned out I think I was the most bling-bling girl in the party.
But as it turned out… I was quite disappointed. Again they nominated 3 persons, and yours trully was one of them. The other 2 nominees has NOTHING bling-bling on them. They gave us some time to ‘upgrade’ ourselves with more blings. At the end, they still had no bling-blings.
Then, the MC asked all of us to make seductive dance, posing the most sexy and seductive pose that we have ever made in our life.
I can’t believe they turned this into the same stuff – SEDUCTIVE/SEXY again?! Same thing, I refused, but just did a normal cat walk.
The result was – they gave the award to the same ‘seductive woman’ last year, as she was so gungho hugging dancing with the guys on the dance floor.
This party is just so cheapskate. But I hate myself too. I should have just left the party the moment I hear them nominating 3 persons. Previous years, they just announced who is the winner, without having to insult anynoe on the stage/floor.
Since this is my final X’mas party in this company, I just keep my mouth shut. I can’t say “I’m not going to dress up any more” kind of quotes. LOL!
Seriously, why would these people insult people who put effort to dress up? In my previous companies, they did a ‘turkey award’ to people who don’t dress up, instead of the other way round. Anyway, it is none of my business any more.
