I just had the most amazing day today.
And no, it’s not because Miranda is not in town. Hah. It’s because it’s Sample Sale day!
Now, our sample sales are all very impromptu and last minute affairs. This is to prevent irritating people from pestering the buyers to let them “reserve” stuff and any such nonsense.
Of course, for certain “elite” (hah!) people, it’s different. The email went out that the sale will start from 12 – 3pm, but at 10am, a few other “privileged individuals” and I were in the accessories room, running through the collections and picking out our bags. *beams* You gotta love the privileges accorded to you when you are the darling of the bosses. Heh.
Anyway. The point is not that I got to reserve stuff when so many others don’t. The point is, this little bitch had the gall to steal my reserved bag! She tore off the reserved tag and plastic cover that had my name written all over it, and tried to buy it!
What audacity.
Thankfully for me and unluckily for her, I caught her red-handed and let’s just say she wouldn’t even dare to look me in the eye when I pulled out the bag from the pile of other stuff she tried to hide it under. My sharp eyes factored it out the minute I walked onto the sales floor.
Bitch. Unbelievable.
And she had the cheek to say that the bag didn’t have any tags or covering when she saw it. Right. And Chewbacca is hairless.

I volunteered to help prepare for the sale as M is not in town and that means I am being paid to sit around looking glamourous and surfing or blogging. Hahahaha. So, was in the accessories room helping to set the pricing and tagging for the samples when this idiot brand executive and his assistant came in and started getting on our nerves.
Not only did they not offer any help (when they really should), they started bothering us with stupid inane questions. I am sure my face was cold with displeasure but of course, these people were either too dense or too thick skinned to really care. No wonder he is well known as M’s whipping boy. M has the habit of chewing him out as 1) he is really stupid and not on top of his job as he should be, that is why he’s still Brand Executive instead of Brand Manager, despite the opening being there, desperate to be filled. And 2) he is really not the sharpest knife in the stack. Working with someone like M requires one to be sharp, alert and always ready to answer questions. And he is none of that. We are all holding our breaths as to when he will be fired.
And did I mention I absolutely love the gays in this company. They are so deliciously BITCHY with a capital B! We had the meanest time laughing about clueless people in this company and wondering how the hell they chose to work in a fashion house when they possess such sense of style. And then the other gay guy said, “WHAT STYLE?” and we all hooted with laughter.
I wanted to channel Coco Chanel today so was wearing a rose grey silk blouse with a ribbon tied at the V neck and black pencil skirt with tiny little white polka dots, accessorized with champagne pearls and black patent peep toes. One of them squealed, “Tres chic!” when he caught a glimpse of me. Yes, very drama I know. But these dudes are really the drama queens.

Big and I met for lunch today at my favourite place in Palais: Marmalade. I had the ribeye steak sandwich and he had the Fois Gras Burger. It was sooooooooooo good. I know the whole cruelty thing about eating the liver of geese that were force fed with fats to make them obese, so don’t start on me ok? I just love my fois gras and my sharksfin. Big said that if I love fois gras so much, he is bringing me to the Sunday Brunch at Ritz Carlton where they have really fantabulous fois gras buffet. I almost died there and then.. *drool*
Oh, and he loved my whole get together too.

Anyway: I bought these two babies.

the picture doesn’t do it justice. it is GORGEOUS.

I almost got this baby… except that they pulled it
out of the sale because they needed to keep it as a
reference sample.
Grrrrgggghh
