No No - That Wasn't a Question...

Miranda Priestly: The details of your incompetence do not interest me.

Meryl Streep is BRILLIANT, absolutely BRILLIANT as Miranda Priestly - The Devil Wears Prada is a movie that I highly recommend and will quickly snap up on DVD when it comes out. J'Adore!!!

I sat throughout the movie crackin' up or nodding in agreement, only to bug F & Roomie when I got agitated at Andi (Anne Hathaway) giving one of her male friends a bottle of Aquolina's Pink Sugar, my signature fragrance. And then that dumb azz goes and spritzs himself like he was going to la-de-da through the tulips or something. DOH - that's for a girl, not a guy. Tell me a guy that wants to smell like vanilla, caramel and spun sugar (other than Damian from Men in Motion in Saugus - now that guy - damn... Meowmix will agree he can smell like anything and I just don't care).

The fashion was fabulous, Stanley Tucci was the *perfect* Nigel, Emily Blunt was a hoot and the shots of NY and Paris were brilliant. Patricia Fields is a genius with showing the transformation of Andi from Casual Corner to haute couture and did you SEE the legendary fashion closet - all those Manolos, Choos, and Dolce. *Sigh*. I had this urge at the end of the movie to go shopping. (When don't I feel the call to the mall though). Anywayz.. IMO - fashion is what one makes of it. It may not have to be Prada or Dior or even D&G, but if you feel comfortable in your own style, revel in it.

I also had to agree that there are many bosses like Miranda in the world. Even though it was fashion, some of the lengths Andi had to go through to keep Miranda at bay reminded me of a few artists that my friends have worked with and a couple nightmare clients of my own... but that's a blog for another day..

That's all..
