The Devil Wears a Wedding Gown

Okay so have you ever watched the movie" The Devil Wears Prada"? Well I work for the real one at this bridal and formal dress boutique. At first she fools you ,making you think she's this sweet nice old lady but I'm telling you she is the devil in disguise.

For example, I put together 3 tuxedos for a local fashion show. I literally built each suit. Choose three different types of coats , three funky colored vests, found some stylish shirts and pants that fit the models that I personally measured. I then steamed and pressed the suits and finally shined the shoes until you could see your face in them.

Did that nasty old woman care? All she cared about was that one of the hangers that I put a pair of pants on was bent and little crooked. Gave me a ten minute lecture on how the bent hanger was an embarrassment to the store. She didn't care that I took on the responsibility of putting the outfits together without being asked or the time and effort that I put in.
So as she was ranting and raving about the stupid hanger i was thinking these 3 things:

1. Only the models would have seen the hanger.
2. I can't believe she is fussing over a stupid hanger.
3. The bent hanger is from your own store , it's not like I brought the hanger from home. If the hanger is such an embarrassment , buy some new hangers!!!!!

So this week I found a clip from the movie " A devil wears Prada" where the character played by Anne Hathaway is trying so hard to please her boss but doesn't matter. Why because her boss is a word that rhymes with itch. Something i can totally identify with.

I can't believe she treated you like that. Some people just do not appreciate good workers. I hope that devil is cast in the lake of fire pretty soon.

Sorry to hear its been rough my dear diva friend. But like my old man tells me: "Nothing" is forever... It can be a very nice thought in many situations. Hope it helps. Catch ya' later.

Staten Island King is a jerk!!! How dare he ask you if you are a diva!!! Its your dog on website. He needs to develop some web pages with his stuck up self. Ugh!!! I can't stand bright skin people!!!

Dan said...

I didn't know there were still people like that in the world - you'd think they would have all died off by now from...meanness. Or crotchety, ornery meanness.

Sorry - hope she starts treating you better immediately. Arg! >:(

Mbbj99 is definitely a true diva. If everyone was a diva like Mbbj99 there would not be "The Devil wearing a wedding gown". Thanks for showing us what a true diva sounds like. This Diva crown goes to you!

Staten Island King looks like you been finding some jokes in your cracker jack box. But seriously if you going to write in on a website called Divavenue wouldnt you need to know a little about divas. I mean you know about muscle bound Gary Peyton looking chicks, but divas are a whole different story. They're ladies not muscular beer and wine drinking thugs. A bro just do a little research on divas, but 1st start with just women. It's a couple of words after website DORK!!!
