You Know Who's Attractive?

The one and only: Clooney (George, that is.)

Classic Clooney. Classic hotness.  What can compare?  We should pay homage more often to such a fine gentleman.  No one rocks a suit like Clooney and he's got the smoldering stare on lockdown.  Oh Georgie- vacation at your luxurious villa at Lake Como? 

We'll check our schedules.  I'm sure we can pencil you in.

Fierce Bitch of the Moment

Lakshmi Menon

This Indian beauty (hailing from Bangalore) is so unbelievably fierce.  She was not only featured on the cover of the premier issue of Indian Vogue, but she is the face of Hermes, the muse of Ricardo Tisci (Givenchy), and has walked the runway for Vera Wang, Michael Kors, DVF, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Carolina Herrera.

All in all, clearly fierce.

Describing Matt:

"He's my statement gay."

Thoughts from Paudra

"I would rock a shaved head if I could."

It's Miller Time (A Note)

If you don't already know, our dear Pmills (aka Paige Miller) has moved on to bigger and better things in the great city of Chicago, Illinois.  Look for her new Midwestern perspective now showcased in our featured mini-blog "It's Miller Time".  Props to Pmills for setting out on an adventure in the great, wide unknown and taking her awesome self to Chi-town.  Love her.

It's Miller Time

Perfection:

As a newbie to the Chicago area, I am discovering new delicious/amazing things everyday. But, wouldn't you know the attraction that tops my favorites list happens to start with my favorite letter:

Now introducing the deliciousness, the beauty, the awesomeness that is Portillo's...

Mmmmmmmm. 

I dare you to find a better hot dog than this.

Sending you Portillo's pleasantries,

Paige "pmills" Miller

A Message to the World

Paris Birdbeak and this idiot broke up.  And who gives a flying frank?!

No one.

On the Job

It's my second week of work at Elle. I'm feeling very city savvy (my mom likes to say "Manhattan maven").  I work Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays and I am busy busy busy each day.  

Today, I called boutiques in New York, L.A., and North Carolina (?!) to confirm info for our Shopping Guide. The boutiques are carrying items for the September issue. Everyone was very nice and helpful, but the jewelry store in North Carolina was so busy, the woman could barely pay attention to what I was saying. She told me the store is always hectic at lunch time. Who is buying fine jewelry on their lunch break in North Carolina in this economy? Someone tell me.

Since this is the first job I've actually wanted, I have a lot of fun with it.  A big celebrity is coming to the office on Friday....but I can't tell you who it is....

Yuck

I walked home from work today in the rain.  It was cold and windy.  I forgot my umbrella and I got completely soaked.

I saw a lady walking her little dog down the street. The dog was wearing a raincoat.

Uggggghh.

Pneumonia,

Adventures in NYC

The very best kind of fruit: the Big Apple!

Sorry about the delay in posts, but I was in desperate need of an ethernet cable for internet at my new house (Marymount Manhattan).  Now that I have internet access, here we go! I'm in New York City and my fabulousness quotient has gone through the roof.  On Monday, I started my job at Elle magazine!  It's fantastic.  I have my own little desk and computer, which are right next to the fashion and accessories closets.  The most amazing things are always passing by!  

I spent the day meeting everyone around the office (fashion and photo editors, staff writers, the lovely ladies in marketing, etc.) and labeling clothes and accessories for the shopping guides in the mag.  I also organized photos of all the clothes they shot for the July and August issues. What could be better than looking at beautiful designer clothes all day? Happy!

I have work again Wednesday, but I spent my day off sleeping in, running errands with Matt, hitting up Pinkberry (the most delicious thing in the universe), going to tasty Chinese dinner, and watching the season finale of SVU (so intense!).  

Everything you do in New York City is fun.
