FOMO is a lie

Fashion people really like saying "FOMO".

As in, 
"The Met Gala's tonight. I am suffering some maj(or) FOMO." 

Which is a very fashion person-y thing to do-
pretend like you're important and such.

Because here's the thing: 
It's not F(ear)O(f)M(issing)O(out), if you're 100% GUARANTEED 
not to be there. 
(which, yes, holds true even if you say it in a super raspy obnoxious fashion voice while doing that whole melodramatic-but-dead-in-the-eyes expression thing). 

See, "FOMO" leads us to believe that, though afforded the opportunity to join in on these particular proceedings, you - due to prior commitments/alternate plans/a lack of desire - have chosen to not participate, and now you regretfully fear what you might have missed.

Which, if we're considering something like, say, the Met Gala, might be true for all of like, Beyonce, Anna Wintour, and maybe a handful of current designer muses. 
Otherwise known as NOT YOU. 
So, let's chill on the compulsive "FOMO" usage and appreciate it for what it is: 
Certainty Of Missing Out. Or Absolutely Guaranteed Exclusion, if you're feeling particularly pessimistic. 

COMO & AGE? I think that's something we can work with. 

Cheers.
