Girls night in

I have a group of ten girlfriends with whom I get together at least once a month, to have dinner, drink some mojitos and chat a bit. It always clears my mind. I'm really happier since I've met them!

A hard day's night

It's really tiring to work at a trade show. But I think it must be harder for those who don't have access to the vip room ;)

The stand

Just got home. Uh, I'm really tired! This is another piece of my stand. Isn't it beautiful? Did anyone visit the Cosmoprof?

What do you know about nail polish?

I've had a sales convention today. And, as a product manager for a cosmetic company, I had to explain to 120 salesmen how nail polish should be used - and sold. For six hours. On extra high heels.

Then I went to a convention center to prepare my company's stand for a trade show that starts tomorrow. Stayed there for more nine hours and just came back home - it's 3h30am. I`m really tired, but had a great day! (the pic shows a detail of my stand)

Sometimes it's really fun to be a woman

While I was getting ready for Carol's wedding, Karla was testing her new camera.

Weird party with weirder people

I could have stayed home in PJs and slippers watching sop opera on TV, but was convinced to get on these heels and go to a party. I didn't even r.s.v.p. because I had no intention whatsoever to be there but, after a Sunday watching one Sex and the City after another, it sounded reasonable to go out.

The more normal people at the party were:

1. Me, in the usual LBD

2. A guy in a wool Paul & Shark coat, checkers pants 5 sizes bigger then his, sunglasses and - oh my God! - a Dior cap.

3. A girl in a shiny purple shirt and a fake furcoat - I wonder if she knows how many Teddy Bears had to be killed so she could wear that scary thing! (Actually, this girl used to be my assistant when I worked in advertising, but she looked more normal back then. Or, maybe, I was crazyer then...)

Recipe for a great dinner party

1. Champagne and foie gras, just to get in the mood.

2. Great assistants (you didn`t expect me to peel the onions myself, did you?)

3. A really nice apron (I collect aprons, I love them).

4. Cool guests.
