All is Fair in Love and War





I never quite understood that phrase really... It seems deceitful, all encompassing and quite contrary to the actual words, is not fair at all. It goes to say that we all have to do what we all have to do to win, yes?

What and Where

Courtyard: Twenty York Street





Tonight my (so-called) friends waged war against me on Twitter! Headed by the freshly minted Fadi of THANN Skincare and Body line, The J and Amy Symes, all three campaigned to oust me as the reigning Twitter Mean Machine!

Disclaimer: Their words, not mine. Please also note that I've only been Tweeting for a few months.

I go for dinner, still tweeting.

I go for a quick post-dinner stop at Dairy Queen, stopped tweeting.

Let's be generous and give that a good 15-minute off the grid. Excited to get back and see what I've missed for what felt like an eternity and guess what?





They've started a Revolution. A Revolution against me! Complete with trending hashtag and stats analysis, the whole campaign was for all these Twitter handles to band up against and try to out-tweet me! They have been properly warned, I take no prisoners but if you're smart enough to jump ship and switch teams before its too late... I will gladly offer them an asylum and maybe even some quick Twitter tutorial!

Some friends I have, right? 

Was it silly and juvenile? Yes.
Was it irrationally huge and rather amusing? Yes.
Was it fun? Absolutely!

It was fast and furious and at some point, it seemed like we were competing in Survivor with all the strategizing, the bribing, the recruiting, psych wars and the blatant death threats (the nerve!), I haven't laughed so hard while going through my timeline!
 
Surprisingly comfortable 4-inch heels.

So, who won you ask?

Well, I maintain, for the love of all things social media, I won! But then again, we've got some very fiece competitors so I suspect I'd be hearing from them immediately right after this post goes public!

Yes, I am Ducissa/Le Brande Diva?

A twitter war against you?! Do they have a wish to lose?! No one can out-tweet you lol I could even imagining trying to do half the tweets you do. I'm going to have to check out that hashtag.

Looking great. Loving this photoshoot.
