Ok, here is my question. I hosted a party in Feb. to which 4 people booked parties. I signed up to become a consultant after that so my director gave me those 4 bookings. Can I use my past host status to purchase the host special each month off of the 4 people? An example is one booked a show for May and I would love to have the pink/white cups - can I do this since I am the host off of which she booked?

Nope, that may be the one disadvantage of signing from your own party.
 
But maybe one of your friends or hosts in May won't want the special.
 
You can always have your own show in May and get the Cups and Squares! I ALWAYS have a catalog show open for myself so I can get any straggler orders - especially when it won't boost another open show to the next level!
 
I'm hoping to get enough preorders this weekend for the New May products and the HWC products to be able to put it in as a show! Without even pushing it I already have over $50 in orders for the Silicone Basting Brush and the Basting Bottle. I have a vendor fair on Sunday and I'm going to offer the preorders. I really want the pink HWC May special and I didn't earn it because of a show that I couldn't get closed in time.

I hope you are able to do the same or that you have a host that doesn't want the special.
