Wishful Wednesday*)

Kelsey at the Seattle Smiths gives a topic every Wednesday for you to "Wish" for...

Today's topic is:

'I wish' .... I could play a character's role in a book and it would be Andie Sachs from the Devil Wears Prada!

This book was SO much fun to read, I was so glad a movie was made from it because it was just as good! Meryl Streep as the big bad boss lady wearing Prada!? Pshh! YEAH!!

Andie, a new college grad with a degree in journalism, somehow lands an interview with Runway magazine (similar to Vogue) and has NO idea what she's getting herself into! She shows up for her interview in a wool cardigan, wool skirt, tights, clunky Mary-Jane shoes, uncombed hair and onion breath (from eating an onion bagel for breakfast). YIKES!

The editor-in-chief for Runway, Miranda Priestly, rips her apart during her interview and yet gives Andie the job as her assistant! Miranda is known to everybody as "the boss from Hell" and gives Andie many tasks that she believes will be impossible to complete. Andie befriends Nigel, the magazine's fashion director, and receives a head-to-toe makeover that completely transforms Andie's character. She walks in wearing the hottest designers and the trendiest haircut and makeup and wows the entire staff. She becomes extremely successful in the industry, working for such a difficult boss such as Miranda! Andie is chosen to go to fashion week in Paris (eek!) and somehow...survives. After returning home she leaves her job at Runway magazine and applies for a small job with a local newspaper, doing what she had always wanted to do in the first place...write. She is shocked to find out that Miranda had given her the best compliments and most sincere recommendation that any employee could ask for.

If you love Vogue magazine, fashion, scandal, fashion, Paris, fashion, makeover stories and, oh...fashion, then you will absolutely LOVE this book (and the movie too!).

Happy Wednesday friends:o)
