Always read everything in google reader!

If you have bothered to read the about me section, you will know that I draw a lot of inspiration from Temptalia and Clumps of Mascara and a new one for me will certainly be Lipglossiping. One thing about me is that I am extremely keen, curious and observant. I learn a lot from watching and learning from people who I want to be like.

I’ve been posting about Summer 2010 collections and I could not wait to get my hands on the Dior one. I set myself a personal challenge to post it before Miss Temptalia because she is always very prompt and I know if she posts it, everybody will head there.

Everyday since the 10th of February I googled Dior Summer 2010 as often as I went on the net. I went to my local Dior counter, contacted Dior etc. You see I’m new to this PR thing and you have to be an insider to know some of the secrets. All I knew was that, the Dior collection preview will be out soon and I wanted to get it.

On the 22nd of February I woke up, did my usual googling then went to google reader- 128 new items. I just could not be bothered so I clicked ‘Mark as all read”

‘Are you sure you want to mark all posts as read?’ It asked me.

Click!

Lo and behold I arose on the 23rd, googled, read my mails, the usual. I was scouting on twitter when a new post showed up…

New from temptalia ‘Dior Summer 2010 collection’!

Somebody help me scream please…

I rushed to the post, clicked the source and it turns out I was subscribed to the source. So I headed back to google reader, scrolled down like a mad woman and the post was there, from the 22nd of February!

Alas Her Royal Smartness had marked it as read without looking at it…
