good friends to have...

emily got a job at this great showroom. that means that all the
clothes there that sell for upwards of $400-700 in stores, i get for
wholesale at around $100, plus a discount of 30% off since we're
roughly the same size and she can pretend the clothes are for her. in
other words, i win.

i also am newly connected to someone at a very fancy designer (who
will not be named) who has a massive discount (and is not supposed to
use it for friends but does anyhow). i just got $1600 worth of stuff
for $600. and i know what you're thinking...and yes it's too much
money. but...i have no excuse actually beyond complete recklessness
with a credit card. but guess who owns some of this seasons hottest
shoes and didn't have to pay $800 for them?!

also, katie is throwing this huge red carpet bash for her client on
tuesday. the client isn't all that glamorous and they're having to pay
celebrities to walk down the red carpet. it was shocking to hear how
much some of these people make to dress up, get some pictures taken
and have a free drink before sneaking out the back door. totally
amazing. but that means that i, a lay person, get to wine and dine,
however briefly, with the hot shots for a night.
