I am flying high. This past Saturday I was invited to attend dinner at Elizabeth's on 37th with the senior editors of T (New York Times own style magazine!). Did I mention that I went to dinner with the SENIOR EDITORS?!! Not just one, but both. Sandra Ballentine sat directly across from me and Armand Limnander sat in the chair directly to my right (our feet and knees did touch occastionally). We indulged in a multi-course meal of champagne, wine, oysters, red snapper, cheesecake and chocolate.
The food was rich, but the conversation was richer. I was surprised by how easy going and open they were. I was hestitant with the idea of a classic New Yorker editor and all I could picture was me sitting in silence as the "Devil Wears Prada" rants and bashes everyone and everything around us. I couldn't have been more wrong. They were two of the coolest people I have meet in the fashion industry. We laughed about men wearing dippers as they ran in the early morning in NY, gossiped about the dirt hidden in the cracks of my prestigious college, all while sipping (o.k., gulping) sparkling wine.
Even better, we went to Club One after! What more could you ask for... a Saturday night filled with the excitement of dinner with industry people, comped wine by the bottle, desserts with more calories then I cared to consider, and...a drag show! My night was made.
