Politically at work would it be an issue if you didn't go? That's always the angle I try to use. Would it cause harm in the future, i.e. your working relationship with your other co-workers?
I know in the industry I work it's very close knit, so you have to attend functions you hate in case it comes around to bite you in the ass later on down the road "oh you want to work here, well I don't know you and I know you never attended one of MY fuctions so why should I care"...pain in the ass really.
Other than that it's up to you. If you don't like her don't go.
