Petty issue with my friend. IAU annoyed..

This is so silly, but I can't help feeling irrationally annoyed. Background: my best friend became friends with a girl a few years ago, M, who for some reason took a dislike to me and was v.rude and acted really bizarrely/bitchy towards me. I just decided to ignore her and didn't socialise with her at all.

They later fell out after M flirted and practically humped my BFs DH while they were all on holiday together Hmm whilst continuously putting my BF down, making digs etc.

Fast forward about a year, and they are friends again. I don't like the girl, but whatever, I don't have to see her & I love my BF, even though I think this girl is abit poisonous.

BF has three kids and recently booked herself on of those makeover/photoshoot things, for her birthday. She asked me to come along ( I think a friend comes free or something) and I agreed, as I thought she needed moral support and wanted abit of fun, pampering time after spending every day with two small babies..no problem.

It's not really my cup of tea tbh, I find them abit tacky and cringy. Really don't want to be pressurised into buying expensive prints that I don't want and am usually awkward in front of the camera anyway.

Anyway (sorry this is so long Blush best friend just put up pics on FB of a photoshoot she did on Monday with the poisonous girl. Poisonous has apparently started her own makeover business and BF went to model for her and help publicise it.

I felt abit sick seeing the pictures tbh. I know this is ridiculous - BF looks stunning, but its really put a dampner on own photo shoot at the weekend, and I can't really break down why. I think I'm being irrational, but I feel like, there doesn't seem much point in going, as she has just had the experience with poisonous girl anyway, so what's the point?

Should I tell her how I feel or just suck it up and go, regardless of how icky I feel about the whole thing?

YABU but human. Suck it up and go (as long as it isn't M who's doing the makeover/shoot! Then I would not go.)

I am not really understanding your point here...

Its your mates photo shoot, she has had one photo shoot done by the girl you dont like, and is going to do another one at the weekend. How is this putting a dampener on it for YOU.

It sounds like you weren't even that into the photo shoot and were just looking forward to seeing your friend, so I think YABU to now be upset and feel that you've been robbed of this tacky and unpleasant "experience", especially as you are still going.

I also think YABU for being friends with a grown woman/mother of 3 whose idea of a good time is going for 2 photo shoots in a week - unless she is Victoria Beckham or Katie Price Grin. What is it with adult women who can't let go of the princess fantasy? I would rather stick pins in my eyes than participate in one of these sessions. Someone got me one for my 13th birthday - even then it made me cringe and I couldn't wait for the day to be over.
