The Cordelia Files: The One in which I Get a Job with Giorgio Armani.

A while back I got a very interesting phone call from Giorgio Armani.

He said, “Melisa, I have seen your blog and I’m interested in having you come work for me.”

I said, “Errrr, um, what? Armani who?”

Because I have a super stellar communication skills when under pressure.

NOT.

Well turns out Armani is much more eloquent while on the phone than I am and he ignored my idiotic babbling and said, “I’m sending you some fabric for a trial run. Make what you want, and if I like it, you’re hired.”

And then he hung up which was a good thing cause I think I started to drool, and it would just be unfortunate to drool all over Armani.

Even if all drooling occurred through a phone.

Then a few days later this fabric showed up in my mail.

So I cut it up, worked a little magic, sent a coat to Armani and he said ,”Melisa! You are a genius. I’ve been searching for you all my life! You must take over for me so I can finally retire and feel confident I’m leaving the company in good hands.”

And I said. “........…”

Actually I didn’t say anything because by then I had woken up. The whole ordeal was just a beautifully glorious dream.

But I did really get to cut up some beautiful Armani fabric to make a wedding coat for The Future Sister In-Law Hart, and that was probably just as fabulous.
