1992, Whitney!!, and Training Day

Hey everyone! What a great week this has been so far. On Monday night I went to an awesome 1992 themed party in LES hosted by Vashtie and Oscar at a cute club named Happy Ending. I had a good time and the music and drinks were great.

At work on Tuesday, we all stopped what we were working on and went to the conference room to watch the inauguration. There were tears of joy and an excitement in the air for our new President Barack Obama. As the inauguration ended, Whitney Port from MTV's "The City" strolled into the Cosmopolitan office. I have the biggest obsession!! She is too cool. Her personal style is amazing and I adore her show. I passed by her in the office but no words were exchanged. I missed my chance(insert sad face). Anyway. she came by because she is going to be on the cover for June and her shoot is Thursday. She talked to the fashion editors and met with Kate White(the editor-in-chief of Cosmo). The rest of the day consisted of lots of returns and a few trips to pick up samples for Whitney's shoot.

On Wednesday Lauren(fashion assistant and my supervisor) had a few new spring interns starting. It was my job to train them and show them the ropes. They are spring interns and plan to be there until May so when I leave they will run the place. I introduced them to the fashion closets and showed them how to do returns and check-ins. We went over the copy machine and filing procedures. Lauren told me I did an awesome job training them and I was happy she gave me the responsibility.

Today was the day of the Whitney Port cover shoot. I was not able to be a part of the shoot because I had to give another intern a shot at assisting with the photo shoot, but I was able to travel to the site twice to deliver jewelry and clothing for Whitney. I saw her trying on outfits and getting her hair styled. Awesome!!! When I returned to the office I trained a new batch of interns and worked on lookboards and returns!!

Happy Inauguration Day!!!

A historic day we can all share together.

Intern Meeting with Kate White @ 3:00!!!

Hey guys!! I had another awesome day at Cosmo. I started off the day by helping out in the fashion closet and checking out a few items. I was waiting on the trunks from the fashion show to arrive from the studio so I could unpack them and check them into the closet.

My next task was to call about 25 modeling agencies in los angeles and ask them to send comp cards of models who they thought would be appropriate for the magazine. There is going to be a shoot for the features sections of the magazine in la in February so we have to be prepared with the models now. I then organzined and filed some model request forms and lookbooks.

Later Lauren sent me out to pickup from Chanel and Gucci for their run-through at 3:30pm. I had to rush back in order to make the ideas meeting that was scheduled at 3:00pm. At the meeting all of the interns introduced themselves. It was nice because I always see these girs around the office, but we are always to busy to stop and chat. After introductions we each took turns discussing ideas we had for the magazine. At the end of the meeting, Kate White, the editor-in-chief, introduced herself and told us about how she entered into the magazine industry. She also gave us advice about what we should do if we are interested in getting a job at Cosmo or any other publication. I really enjoyed hearing her stories and asking her questions.

After the meeting I spent the rest of the day in the closet organizing and staritening up because the cast of Ugly Betty is coming to shoot a scene in our closet!!! How exciting!! I can't wait to tell you all about it!!!
