A few months ago I was asked if I would be a speaker at the Voxy Ladies conference in Atlanta. GIRL POWER ...WALL TO WALL! Of course I was soon elevated to the position of Key Note Speaker ..YO GO GIRLFRIEND! Fabluss!
Over the past few days the International Voxy Ladies Events Consultative Committee have been canvassing the opinions of all interested parties.
"Do we love Philip?"
"Yes" came the cry "But technically ...now work with us on this one ...he's not EXACTLY a girl at all, really, much, is he?"
SILENCE followed by incredulous looks around the meeting room.
3am - My phone rings - conference call "You're a boy! You're SO fired! Kelley made me do it!"
"Did I F***! It was Diane!"
"You Witch it was Rosie's idea"
"Eso es una mentira y lo sabes. El amor a la chica zapatos. Fue Melissa!"
This continued for around two hours until the guy who came to fix the air conditioning owned up. I suspect he was just being polite.
Any way, it is now, from top to bottom an ALL GIRL event because ..apparently, I'm not a girl, at all. |

Well fiddlesticks, as your promised presence was one of the main appeals of potential attendance at the conference, for me anyway. _________________ jen@jengosnell.com

I PROMISED to buy a wig and let a Surgeon from Brazil ...DON'T ASK!
Mrs Banks(pro-tem) offered to help. $25,000 without anaesthetic $2.4 billion with. She may have been hiding a particular preference somewhere in that offer. |

My appeal fell on deaf ears so the event now looks like this ....
http://voxyladies.com/voxy-summit-2016/
The keen eyed amongst you will notice that Rob Paulsen is still IN so in fact my firing was not sexism BUT RACISM!
Minutes of Voxy Event Executive Committeee Meeeeeeting
Kelly "Uh ..Elephant in the room"
Kelley "You can SO go ahead girl"
Kelly "Thank you girl. Philip Banks is British"
ALL LAUGH -SILENCE
Kelleee "Like, totally serious girl?
Kelly "Like REAL serious girl"
ALL -EWWWWWWW!
Kell-E "He is SO fired girl. Vote?
Quelli "Go girl!"
UNANIMOUS - I was SO voted out.
Success of the event is now assured.
Knowing the news would be deeply wounding the Kommmmmittteee was overwhelmed with people wanting to tell me. Democracy! We love it! |
