fondue and fashion

Quick update.

Today, oct. 16: AWESOME NEWS. Out of thousands of interns, I was picked to be promoted within three days. Three! They said they really like my drive and motivation and that I impressed them, so theyre giving me a month as an intern, then planning on taking me on part time if all goes well(keep your fingers crossed). i met with ML(ceo) today and he said hes heard good things about me. he also made me get him a pen. freakin the shit they say about celebrities is true. but anyway, hell yes!! how exciting! also, i wrote my first pitch yesterday and the feedback: it was great! im excited for any hits on it. i also made phone pitches today but got no one to cover the talent. i will keep trying! by the way, i absolutely love many of my coworkers so it helps a lot!

tonight: just got back from LA fashion week wrap party at boulevard3. my first fashion show- amazing to see in person. the models are so crazily skinny i wanted to feed them. pretty clothes. amazing venue, but i was basically alone so it wasnt as fun as it could have been. we were supposed to go to the red carpet event to represent our client, but she was in a different country or some random thing and bailed. so my coworker left me to my own devices alone in a damn club/bar/lounge/fashion show. it was kind of awkward being alone, wandering around, and having awkward conversation. and i was so tempted to drink. but im smarter than that so i stayed awkward.
meanwhile, i get hit on by some drunk producer/CEO guy as im eating the free fondue and free tacos. i told him i was a publicist, and he said something about publicizing gold. maybe i can make him a client, hes rich as hell. i didnt drink, but with the right company, i would have, and it would have been way funner. i wish i could import people to LA. being alone in an atmosphere like that has its perks- namely, i got in free, went to the VIP section, and roamed free. but i hope never to have to do that again, unless its for work.
also, i was introduced to this girl leah from the real world paris. not really interesting, im not a fan of the real world. but what IS interesting is the damn ridiculous-ness of hollywood and the people in it. it looks like how it does on tv. whoever said tv isnt ever an honest portrayal hasnt been to hollywood. well, one thing i know: i will profit from this mess of egos and famous people- they can afford it.
