Okay - Time to do this Blogging thing.

From Corinne, Costumes Intern

So I'm sitting in one of the dressing rooms, which is now my make-shift "office" - glamorous, yes. Well, the lights make it look glamorous, but the lights also make it really hot. And being in a dressing room by myself is kind of lonely. Occasionally I get visitors, but not as often as I wish. Kiki should come visit me. (Let's see if she reads that and does it - tune in to the next blog to find out....)

But really, being a Design Assistant sounds glamorous but I'm starting to feel the scary weight of RESPONSIBILITY - (gasp!!). Basically I've been driving around town, shopping at Nordstrom and Mario's and Brooks Brothers and etc etc etc.... Sounds lovely, getting to go out shopping, and parts of it really ARE lovely, like the beautiful 3 piece suits, and getting to pay expensive prices for expensive things. Of course, I will also have to be the one to return all of those beautiful expensive things and disappoint all of those sales people who worked so hard to cater to my and the designer's every whim. But something in that is kind of fun too ;p

But today I'm sitting in a dressing room, opening packages, shopping on Zappos, and reading the most absurd "I Saw U" ever: "Pregnant Hottie At Fun House" (in this past week's Stranger, vol18 no18). PLUS - the shop manager, Denise, totally brought me a leftover inauguration brownie from yesterday's awesome inauguration potluck. That makes today great. Ah, and two babies have visited the costume shop today with their excited little squeals and shiny eyes. That always makes me happy.

Well, I guess it's time to get back to internet shopping. Somebody come visit me. Or I may begin talking to the clothes....
