So, the big city life: glamorous or challenging?
The first few go arounds were fabulously glam...friends and family to enjoy, wonderful food with unlimited funds, the occasional shopping trip down 5th, drivers, shows, etc..
This time, as semi-reality intoduces itself to me, the flossy flossy is not living up to its old nature. From the village floor (literally) to the unlockable door on riverside, to the heavenly bed at the marriot, this week has been a definate challenge and somewhat of a voice in the wind calling me to realize that I was predestined to have two maids, three chefs, an on call nanny, a driver named Rauhel, and a doorman to greet me upon arriving at the front door of my luxery pent house on Park.
My love affair still exists, only now with a little hatred (just to even things out). I can say that I don't do top level apartments without elevators. I don't do luggage up hill. And I certainly don't do drunken managers at rat motels. All of this has been "fill in" before I am able to move into my wonderful, clean, locked apartment on the east river. Needless to say, I cannot wait to get settled in.
The job is nice. I have been with Liz Lange for four days and have already designed close to 8 pieces for the upcoming season.
I pick out fabrics, trims, meet with dealers (textiles not drugs), serve as a liason between Liz and the sample makers/production facilities, and help make decisions on fit and color. Not bad for the first week, eh? I am immune thus far to the chants from delivery trucks and corner congregations and the oncoming traffic has yet to tred over my shoes. It is HOT! very very hot...and the only regret today is that there is no Lake Martin within walking distance. I would love to be on the front of the jetski (i'll drive, thanks) with my guy behind me (hold on tight!) headed back to the house for ribs and tater salad.
As everyone reminds me without fail, "you have to pick and choose, meg...." whatever! I think it is totally possible to do it all. Let's not be so pessimistic, people! :) Or maybe I should be realistic? I like the "make it work" attitude better.
happy memorial day!
