Once I enter the Hearst Building I signed in and went to the Marie Claire offices. I was so amazed that I was there in New York for something like this. The accessories editor came out and met with me and she began to show me around and introduce me to everyone.
We went into what they call "The Closet" which showcases the designers products that could be featured in the magazine. I mean they had everything, from "Christain Louboutin" shoes to "Chanel" clutch bags, fabulous jewelry, you name it they had it.
They went on to explain how everything works.
After that I was introduced to Joanna Coles, editor-in-chief, and as I was standing in her office, I just began thinking, this is truly a blessing to be here, getting to meet these people in the industry and talk to them and share my passion for what I do and did for this contest. Her office had an amazing view by the way. I recently saw a photo in their magazine where Joanna was talking to Senator Hillary Clinton and I was like whoa, I was in there also, like all the other famous people that she has come across there, and I was there too! Anyway we talked for a little while, she wanted to know what I liked ot didn't like about the magazine. She shared with me that she really liked my handbag and thought that I did an amazing job. She is a really together lady.
Then it was on to the next thing, which was going on a photo shoot for the magazine. Which was in the "Soho" area. As we are getting into the taxi, I'm looking all around trying to take this all in. It was just such a wonderful experience. We get to the place and the photographer is there with her assistance and a model and the fashion stylist. It was in this really cool studio apartment. Everything that I saw is in the January 2008 issue.
