It's the end of the road people. If only Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men were performing this song while you, my dear readers, are reading my final post for A Socialite's Life. With deep regret, and sheer exhaustion, I am retiring my grammatically error riddled blogging fingers forever. Thanks for putting up with me for these last three years (almost), this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
Try not to let your emotions get out of hand with the news. If need be, you can be there for each other if you're overwrought with shock and emotion. Why not turn the comments section for this post into a little support group, for those of you that feel you need it. Just try not to be too bitchy. Oh who am I kidding, when are you not bitchy?
Don't fret - the blog will go on! I leave you in good hands. My successor knows the difference between it's and its, and actually cares that there is a difference. I'm overdue for for some much needed R&R. Contrary to rumor, I am not taking Star Jones' spot on "The View." So while I head off to Passages (I hear you can score some amazing drugs there) to rejunenate the liver, I implore each of you to have several vodka martini's (dirty of course) on my behalf daily while you peruse A Socialite's Life.
It saddens me that I won't be able to report on Britney Spears' future divorces and weddings, Lindsay Lohan's probable drug scandal, the first photo of Suri Cruise, and Tara Reid getting that first postive review. So with a lump in my throat, and knowing that the gossip will go on without me, I bid you adieu.

Thanks Mui and good luck with it all. My worklife was made all the better for your blog.
Marie says:
Say it ain't so! You've been my favorite gossip blogger for the last year or so. I know that when the other blogs are being predictable or boring me to death I could always count on Miu to give me the straight dish.
Best of luck but I wish you weren't leaving!

Good luck and happy days to you.

Good luck in all you do!!!!!!!
Rosalita says:
Adiós, Miu.
This is my favorite blog spot. I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I've spent reading your funny, witty comments.
(it's = it is) I care about grammar, but the fun here has been more important than grammar.
Buena suerte,
Rosie

Mui! I will miss your blog. You were always first with my gossip. The first thing I looked at each morning. AND I really never had to read the Enquirer or Star anymore! I hope your successor is just as newsy!
So... Great Luck to you now and always! All the best... Woodyette.

Miu,
Yours was always my go-to site - thanks for keeping me entertained on many dreary late work afternoons.
Best of luck with whatever you've moved on to.
Alyssa says:
Frick that sucks! I love you and I'll miss you. Your hilariousness made me forget grammar, and believe me that is tough to do. You rule, and may you do many great things...now that you're you know, not gonna be here any more. Best of luck to you!
Draya says:
WHAT?? NO WAY! I'm soooo bummed!

Lari says:
I leave you champagne kisses and caviar dreams!! Good luck in whatever you do Miu, I will miss reading your blog everyday.
gonzo says:
thank you for your time and devotion through the (almost) three years. May you enjoy your R&R to the fullest.
sadsam says:
Of all the voices that have graced this blog, your style has always been the best. By far. Best of luck. You'll be missed!!

Happy for you, but sad for me. All the best, Miu.
Lynn says:
I hope that you decide to have a reunion with your fantastic, famous blog, just like Paul Simon keeps returning to his true lifetime success, singing duets with Art Garfunkel.
Mimi, I'm so sorry you're leaving. Reading your blogs often was always like being friends with the most popular girl in the dorm back in college. You were so clever yet kind, and could take a dig at pomposity just like Mad magazine. Maybe you should just join AA, get some more sleep and then quickly return; hey, we could all use a 12-step program of some kind (just copying your humor, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery). Well, bon voyage, if you must-->you will be missed!!!
Kim B. says:
Thank you, Miu! This blog...has...gotten me through some tuff times. Tuff times. *sniffling* Seriously. Thanks for the laughs, it's the best place...and I might add, it's all on point as far as news items, so why not come here to find out what's happened but with a much more smug spin on it. A smug spin that it all deserves. Please come back from time to time to share your wit.
Peace. Out.

But who will I tell to be nice too? You're so mean...Chicago loves you! *tears*
Big Mo in the Midwest says:
Au reservoir... it's been a lovely blog. Thanks for the delightful entertainment, which was not always taken with a perfectly chilled martini. Often it was a single malt scotch. May all your rehabs be pleasant and your Jimmy Choos be exquisite.
Thaddeus van Worthingheimer says:
Gah! I didn't see this until today. :-S
Au revoir, Miu. Thank you for providing the snark and wit that I've read daily for almost three years. You've become the standard that I will always aspire to reach in my own blogging adventures.
Good luck and best wishes,
TVW

I know I'm like two weeks late on this but I just wanted to put in my $.02 about Miss Miu. I have only spoken to her afew times, but can honestly say that she is one of the kindest and most helpful people I have ever met in this business.
She might play catty on the blog, but she's really a sweetheart. Just don't tell her I said that, she might shatter a martini glass on my head.
Farewell Miss Miu. You will be missed.
