Honest opinion here,

If you are not mentioned then you should ask yourself why.
But there are many who DO Deserve to be mentioned that are not.

But that is the photography field,  all sections.
Art, fashion, glamour,  the fastest runner does not always win the race.

I might suggest you go search out this great site for other people you like and post them here.
Member who do not have any comments or not many.
Those who are forgotten because they do not hang here much.

Trust me,  I am just a mediocre stylist at best.  I do not kid myself.

Now why didn't I ever think of this when I was growing up? Being the youngest of three and the only girl, I was often left out. I should have made a club for little girls like me instead of just pouting and playing by myself. Which is kind of what I do when no one makes me feel special on MM.

And I ask myself why, I do. Why am I not special on MM?  Well, I think the truth is that I've only been at it for a couple months. I think that's reason enough. Don't you? Don't you!?!!?

Or is it because I eat tuna at lunch?

you don't want to hear the stories of being left out. 2 christmas's ago my entire family went to New York without me.

I have actually been asked by the girlfriend's of students why I never go out with the crowd. I am too polite to say I have never been invited.

My only lover I ever had left me for the girl we had the threesome with. He married her. I hear they are getting a divorce now, four years later.

My little sister got her first job and no one told me for weeks.

I second that booooo Jayne!!  I choose my choice or something like that. (What movie was that from? Oh it was from SATC, never mind) 
Anyway, MHana:  The first rule of the "didn't make the cut" thread is we don't talk about the "didn't make the cut" thread......or why.

Ok.  You're missing the entire point of the thread.  It was not to bitch and moan aobut not being chosen. . .it was so that the ones who weren't chosen could feel less left out.  NOT looking for solutions.  NOT looking for advice.  Just making a thread for those that were previously excluded to now be included.  Get it now?

Not at all!  We are "exclusive" and not talked about.  That's the first rule.  We don't talk about why we're here. . .we're just here.

This was the first time I EVER made one of these MM lists without having to beg.

Once I lost all dignity and groveled for an add and Krista/Webspinning vixen that she is felt sorry for me and added.  At the end of her 40 person list.

To make matters worse, I don't even make geographical lists, like the Bay Area photographer one  or female photographer ones!

I need to go make some hemlock cookies now.  (insert heavy dramatic sigh).

Did you see who the person added you WITH??? (If you didn't recognize those names, I'll tell you right now those were humongous names. Including possibly the single most influential fashion-related artist of the 1990s, who was actually a graphic designer/art director back then. And you were the only MM person on his list.)

Actually, that is our second order of business for today. . .nominations.  To answer your question, you must be nominated.  I advise making some baked goods and kissing babies to boost your popularity amongst the voters.
