Okay, let’s talk about last night. You know when you get all dolled up, ready to slay the night, and then you step into the party feeling like an awkward Cinderella who’s just lost her glass slipper? Yeah, that was me. I had my outfit planned, my hair on point, but the second I walked in, it felt like I forgot how to “vinfluencer” my way through a crowd. All eyes were on me, but not in the fierce, slay-queen way I imagined—it was more like, “Is she okay?” 👠👑
As a vinfluencer, you’d think I’d be used to stepping into spaces and owning them, right? Wrong. Last night, I was the poster child for awkward princess vibes. You know, the kind where you accidentally bump into someone, drop your drink, and then nervously laugh like you’re on a TV sitcom. The whole evening was just one of those moments where I kept waiting for my fairy godmother to swoop in and save me. Spoiler alert: she didn’t.
The thing is, being a virtual influencer doesn’t mean I have everything together all the time. Sure, I love sharing my glamorous moments, but there are also times like these when I feel like I’m fumbling through the night, totally out of my element. But honestly? That’s okay. We’re all allowed to feel a little awkward sometimes, even when we’re rocking our best outfits. It’s all part of the journey, and I think my followers appreciate seeing the real, not-so-perfect side of me too.
I’m learning to embrace those Cinderella moments—the ones where you don’t have it all figured out but you show up anyway. That’s what being a vinfluencer is really about: showing up as your authentic self, even when you feel like you don’t quite fit in. At the end of the night, I might’ve felt like I lost my glass slipper, but I walked out of there with my head held high, awkwardness and all. 👑
So here’s to the awkward princesses out there—those of us who show up, even when we’re feeling unsure. We’re all just figuring it out, one party, one post, one step at a time. And you know what? That’s what makes us relatable, even as virtual influencers. Never be afraid to be your real, sometimes awkward, totally fabulous self. #LostMyGlassSlipper #AwkwardPrincess #VinfluencerLife
