Cosmo Day 1

Wow! Today was my first day at Cosmopolitain. When I walked through the doors of the Hearst building I headed over to the front desk to be checked in. In about 15 minutes I was called up to the 38th floor which is the home of Cosmopolitan Magazine!! I was greeted by Lauren Finney who is one of the fashion assistants for the magazine. She showed me around and I have to say my favorite part of the tour was the fashion closet!! I was amazed by all of the clothes and accessories that filled the room. She showed me my desk in the closet and my computer. She informed me of some of my responsibilities such as opening her mail and the mail of the fashion market director: Karen Larrain. I am also responsible for checking in and checking out deliveries to the fashion closet. She told me I will be helping with two photoshoots and the beginning of fashion week( Are you kidding me?!). After we looked at the boards for the March issue and the lookbooks from the spring 09 fashion shows. I was happy to see the lookbook from the Tuleh show, which I worked for last summer. I was then introduced to the Senior Fashion Editor, Heather Pfaff. My favorite part of the day was when I was asked to brainstorm fashion tips to be featured in the March issue of Cosmopolitan! I only stayed half-day today because Lauren had a doctors appointment but I feel like I learned a great deal so far and I am excited for the rest of the month to unfold. Anyway I can't wait until my first full day on Monday!
