So, apparently I am not doing actual bottle serving on Saturday nights... which is a HUGE relief. ha. I am bottle hostessing rather, which entails standing at the door looking cute (or as cute as a field mouse such as myself can possibly be) and then leading people with table reservations to their assigned tables. Easy enough for a simpleton such as myself ;) . I don't have to deal with any irate customers, people arguing about checks, people being wasted assholes, or people thinking I'm not hot enough to be pouring their liquor. It is a pretty sweet gig. I thought I would be bored to death standing around last night for 5 hours waiting for people with table reservations to arrive, but it was a pretty decent night. On Friday's, Highline Ballroom does an EDM show with a line-up of several dj's, so not only is the music awesome (if you like that kind of stuff), but everyone is high on molly or getting drunk, so they're all pretty social and happy people. I met so many interesting people last night that it was nearly impossible to get bored. I even ran into my ex-boyfriend's old friends from Oneonta- what a surprise that was. haha. No, really though, it is nice to run into people that you know in such a large city. I was happy to see some familiar faces amongst the swarming sea of clubbers. Plus, anyone who knows me knows I simply love any opportunity to dress up; so putting on a black dress and heels is enough motivation for me to want to hostess anyhow. hahaha. I'm pathetic.
I photograph much better than I look in real life.
If anyone ever needs to borrow a skin-tight black dress, I'm your girl. I think in another life I may have been a prostitute; that's the only explanation I can think of for my soft spot for body-con dresses.
In other awesome news, I snagged an editorial intern position with Topix Media Lab. They do special publications on individuals, tv shows, movies, etc. So if you walk into a store and see a magazine that is "All About Taylor Swift" or "Michelle Obama" or "Pretty Little Liars," it very well have been written and put together by Topix Media lab! I'm pretty excited because the team of people working their have worked at Rolling Stone Magazine, for Elle, and Jane etc. I start the first week in May and cannot wait! I am still pumped for my interview with Sleep no More next week though, and if I can somehow swing a writing internship along with a costume internship and manage to have enough time to keep working for money, I will do all three. I find the busier I am kept, the better for my feeble mind. When I have too much free time I become very self-destructive and self-hating. It's a vicious cycle. I am also on page 206 of my book. I hope to finish it by June. No idea what I am going to do with it once it is done, but I want it to be done as soon as is possible.
