Very Carrie

Our boss likes to forward invitations to events he can't (or doesn't want to) attend himself. Mostly these fall into the category "business networking" and are likely to involve death by PowerPoint or award ceremonies that go on for hours on end. Sometimes, though, there are gems like a sample sale in close vicinity to the office. Last Friday, the Empress, MC, the Gazelle and I were eager to go and check it out in his stead.

It felt very SatC to follow the signs into a historic building and squeeze into an equally historic elevator to single-file into an apartment already full with chic people with apparently a lot (too much?) of spare time on their hands.

After much elbowing and excavating, we all ended up with some bargains and eagerly left our own e-mail addresses in order to be notified directly next time.
