Playing Dress-Up

So, things have been slow recently, and so I'm extra pleased to be doing some additional work this week. A massage client of mine who has become a friend has become an independent seller for Worth, a clothing line out of NYC. It's high end, designer-inspired clothes made from truly exquisite fabrics. They get their textiles from the same mills as Chanel, Armani, etc. And the leathers! Oh, my goodness, you could put these leathers on your bed and sleep in them, they're so unbelievably soft. It's a really easy line to sell.

Anyway, my job is general assistant, gopher, computer-wrangler, etc. and while it is wiping me out physically, I am really enjoying it. The clothes are so much fun, and it's really nice to get to play with them. I wear gym clothes (nice, coordinated stuff, but still) all the time for my regular work life, and I dress up so very rarely that it's even fun to dress other people up.

For instance, dressing our first client today (a former Miss Some-State-That-I-Forget who was a runner-up for Miss USA) was like playing real-life Barbies. She had a perfect figure, and everything looked amazing on her. So much fun. My friend will do a show each season, and I hope to get to participate further. I'll be missing the summer show, most likely, as it begins 2 days after my due date.
