Over the course of the last three months I have spent a majority of my time unemployed. Besides not being able to afford the cutest new DVF wedges, the worst part of unemployment is having to wait in line at your local unemployment office. Let me preface this by saying that I am not as bitchy as this will sound (well, maybe I am..) but do they really need to place these offices in the most poverty stricken neighborhoods of cities? I mean c'mon?! So while being judged by the man assigned to make me a "resume" that consisted of incoherent sentences about my "skills" I thought there has to be something more. After leaving hell, I mean the unemployment office, I went immediately to Barnes and Noble to find a self help book to get me out of my slump. I first looked at the highly praised "Eat, Pray, Love" about a rich bitch who took a year vacay to find the "meaning of life." Being jobless, broke, and depressed I found that I was not in the mood to hear a recap of the priveleged girl's trip around the world. Once my frustration surpassed I stumbled upon it. "Bitter is the New Black-Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass, Or, Why You Should Never Carry a Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office." It was as if a choir was singing "Hallelujah" around me. It was PERFECT. Through Jen Lancasters rantings I found that I too had lots to share about my passion for fashion. So here we are. I can't wait for this journey to start, and hope you enjoy the ride!
